{:en} Dear sensitive souls of ArtTmodernmiami... As we enter the summer season, I am here with a brand new series of articles to appeal to the emotions a little more. Without further ado, I would like to make an introduction. What did the legendary pop group Boney M say in their song? One-way ticket! Think about it like this, friends. You are going on a road trip. To distant lands and this is not a vacation. Your ticket is only one way. What do you think fits in a suitcase? A few clothes, a little longing, a lot of hope... In this article, you will meet the owners of those quiet moments...

{:en} Costa Rica, one of the most beautiful countries in Central America, has been named the happiest country in the world in many surveys. This country, which has no army, and cares about nature and the environment, is worth seeing. Costa Rica means rich coast in Spanish. We arrived in this beautiful country for a 4-day trip with a three-hour flight from Fort Lauderdale airport. The first thing we did after arriving in the capital city of San Jose was to go to the Rent-A-Car office. I had already reserved the car online and got a great deal, but I paid a lot more at the checkout....

{:en} Dear readers, greetings to all of you from the week of April 7-14 😊 Week of April 7-14, 2025. We are entering a week where we will start to accelerate astrologically. Especially next week, our lives will begin to revive and refresh with the energy of Aries. Two significant astrological events will occur this week: • The Full Moon will occur in Libra on April 13, 2025. This will raise issues related to relationships, justice, balance, and partnerships. • Venus retrograde ends on April 13. Since Venus governs issues related to relationships, love, money, and our values, there will be clarifications in this area. Now let's examine the effects of these...

{:en} You are my little pebble  Finding your own path,  While I am the vast ocean  Waiting for you. When we unite,  With the strength of your small heart,  You will love every part of me. Our laughter, our lovemaking will echo.  You will want me for who I am. But, now everything has turned into a nightmare.  I didn’t want you to understand—  Just to love me back. This grand love frightened you.  You thought our story was a dream,  Wanted to wake up,  And you left. I hear from you occasionally.  When the places I wounded ache,  You feel me,  Find joy in that pain. Your leaving never diminished me,  But your scent, your voice, your love  Left with you.  That’s what hurts the most. Friends say life is...

{:en} I'm starting the first article of 2023 with Walt Disney's words "If you can dream it, you can do it"... We started 2023 with a new page, a new beginning and new hopes.  Every year, while some people achieve their dreams, others keep their hopes for the next year with a weak hope after dozens of disappointments… We are determined.  Our newspaper is full of hope and has just been born.  You will observe that knowledge, energy and joy overflow from the writings of our authors.  Together, we will set a stone on the path to happiness.  As the Great Leader Atatürk said, "A healthy mind resides...

{:en} A Life on the Other Side of the World By Melda Sherman — reporting from Boston In this story, I’ll quite literally take you to the other side of the globe — to the Southern Hemisphere, to Sydney, Australia. My guest, Buket Behçet Balaban, speaks candidly about not only what life is like in Sydney, but also how migration shapes a person’s outlook, resilience, and sense of belonging. This interview feels especially meaningful to me, as Buket is also a reader of my book Migratory Birds. I’d like to take this chance to thank her once again for our warm and heartfelt exchange. Buket Behcet BALABAN/ Sydney From Izmir to Sydney:...

{:en} Dear ArtTmodernmiami readers… In this issue that we are acquainted with for the first time, I will mention 20 interesting voyages I have been impressed by. However, don’t think of it as the first 20 places to see on Earth. Our planet is so wonderful that neither 20 nor 200 places listed can count the beauty it holds. I, Prof. Dr. Sevcan AKESİ, am a dentist and traveler. I love writing, photography, painting, ceramics, and sculpting. I’ve seen over 100 countries, written about them, and shared them with my readers in my books “Have You Ever Seen a Blue Firefly?” and “Women in Our Route”. My sailing the world...
