When life comes with plot twists
Before 2018 ended, I decided that word of the year for this year. I ended up for the word “Courage”.â â â â â â â â â
The one thing, that I didn’t know, is how this word got a whole lot of new meaning.
I’ve been holding this huge secret inside me until a while ago, I came out from this deadly tumour closed of mine -the one I’ve been living in since the beginning of this year (and with its symptoms for years). That’s the real reason behind this kind silenc-y social media presence. You can read my coming-out-from-a-tumour-closet moment from my Instagram and follow my journey there also.
But still, the courage will be the thing I will be needing the most when I’m hopefully battling myself back to life.
Kun elÀmÀ tulee juonenkÀÀnteillÀ varustettuna
Ennen kuin vuosi 2018 pÀÀttyi, tein pÀÀtöksen tĂ€mĂ€n vuoden sanasta. PÀÀdyin sanaan “Rohkeus”.â â â â â â â â â
Mutta se, mitÀ en tuona hetkenÀ vielÀ tiennyt iski tajuntaani tÀmÀn vuoden aikana, jonka aikana tuo sana on saanut ihan uudenlaisen merkityksensÀ.
Moon nimittÀin pidellyt sisÀllÀni suurta salaisuutta, kunnes jokin aika sitten tulin vihdoin ulos tÀstÀ kuolemanvakavasta kasvainkaapistani -siitÀ, jossa olen elÀnyt tÀmÀn vuoden alusta saakka (ja kasvaimen alati pahenevien oireiden kanssa reippaasti vuosissa). TÀmÀ on se todellisuus verkkaisemman somelÀsnÀoloni takana. Voit kÀydÀ lukaisemassa mun kasvainkaapista ulostulemisen hetkestÀ lisÀÀ Instagramissa sekÀ seurata matkaani myös siellÀ.
Silti, rohkeus tulee olemaan juuri se sana, jonka merkitystÀ tulen tarvitsemaan eniten matkalla toivottovasti takaisin elÀvien kirjoihin.
About the Year of Courage
These over 8 years of The Fashion Poetry have also contained a lot of decisions when it comes to my working life and studies -a part of those decisions that are only grounded by my own intuition, that one day this dream will be a full-time job that pays my bills and provides the future for me and my family.
In other words, risks.
Risks that I have got to hear a lot of things -both positive and negative- about. Objections about this kind of business’s profitability, for the most part, and having unrealistic goals.
Practically endless questions about “But what do you as your REAL job? / What’s your occupation? / Where will you be working when you get your degree?” Highlight on the word a REAL job and a REAL occupation.
Well, in the end, my intuition was right. Like it usually always is. So I will not say that this dream wouldn’t been worth it.
But there’s this one thing I would like to say.
Providing yourself a full-time job in social media as an influencer is a hell of a contract where you most of the time feel like drowning because there’s just SO MUCH JOB.
And 24 hours per day will never be enough. There have been workdays/weeks/months around the clock. And making some really big and hard sacrifices.
Rohkeuden Vuodesta
NÀmÀ yli 8-vuotta Fashion PoetryÀ ovat pitÀneet sisÀllÀÀn myös paljon pÀÀtöksiÀ muussa elÀmÀssÀni liittyen työelÀmÀÀn ja opintoihini -osa perustettuna pelkÀlle intuitiolle, ettÀ jonain pÀivÀnÀ tÀmÀ on työtÀ, jolla elÀtÀn itseni ja perheeni.
RiskejÀ, toisin sanoen.
RiskejÀ, joista olen saanut kuulla yhtÀ sun toista -enimmÀkseen vastavÀitteitÀ tÀmÀnkaltaisen bisneksen kannattavuudesta ja turhista haihatteluista.
LĂ€hinnĂ€ kĂ€ytĂ€nnössĂ€ siis loppumattomia kysymyksiĂ€ siitĂ€, ettĂ€ “Mutta mitĂ€ sĂ€ siis teet OIKEAKSI työksesi?/MikĂ€ sun ammatti on?/MiksikĂ€ sĂ€ opiskelet?/Mihin ammattiin sĂ€ valmistut?” Paino sanalla OIKEA työ ja OIKEA ammatti.
En sano, etteikö tie olisi kantanut. Etteikö se oma intuitio ollut lopulta oikeassa -kuten se useimmiten aina on.
Mutta sanon, ettÀ itsensÀ elÀttÀminen sosiaalisen median voimalla on ihan helvetinmoinen työmaa, jossa meinaa vÀlillÀ hukkua siihen työmÀÀrÀÀn huomatessaan miten kÀsittÀmÀttömÀn lyhyt se 24 tuntia pÀivÀssÀ on. Tehden ison vaikeitakin ja hyvin todellisia uhrauksia.
But that’s why this will be a Year of Courage.
A year where the years before this have bear fruit -with that ability to take those risks. And yes, in between times also a bitter fruits, that have been important soul-searching times and teached more than that smoothly sailing season.
But the Year of Courage is also a reminder to You, who ponder or prepare yourself for finally taking that risk. That kind of risk that can, at its best and at worst, change your rest of life and create a whole of a new meaning.
A Year of Courage 2019,
that I wish for all of You lovelies more courage.
Siksi vuosi 2019 on Rohkeuden Vuosi, jonne muut vuodet riskinottamisineen ovat kantaneet hedelmÀÀ. VÀlillÀ toki kitkerÀÀkin hedelmÀÀ, jotka ovat olleet tÀrkeitÀ itsetutkiskelun paikkoja sekÀ opettaneet enemmÀn kuin se smoothisti sujunut aikakausi.
Mutta Rohkeuden Vuosi on myös muistutus juuri Sulle, joka pohdit tai valmistelet itseÀsi riskinottamiseen. Sellaisen riskin, joka voi parhaimmillaan ja pahimmillaan muuttaa sun loppuelÀmÀn suunnan ja luoda sille ihan omanlaisensa merkityksen.
Rohkeuden Vuosi 2019,
jolle toivotan teistÀ jokaiselle enemmÀn rohkeutta.
An act of courage to ride with the waves, daring to really swam against the current. Courage to truly listen to your own voice and your body -to pave the way for its own, deserved, room to calendar.
Courage to terminate those things and people that dim your light by always bringing darkness with into your life -and in the end taking more of you with them than when importing to your life. Because, at its best, some thing or a person can actually bring more of you and youness when they are entering to your life -feeling like something familiar and making you feel safe, your kind.
First and foremost I wish for your year the courage and braveness to trust and hope.
Courage to trust to yourself after a failure. And try. Over and over again. By clapping yourself on the back -not taking yourself to the corner and feeling shamed or mentally beating yourself up.
Courage to be brave and have the ability to hope even during the middle of darkness, that even those times aren’t permanent by taking that one last spark of life out of you. That the things will work out for the best and the sun will find you eventually.
Courage to not to give up for those brighter days that will come and erase that darkness that got you on your toes -ultimately making you fall to your knees. Brighter days that inevitably come after a dark night.
 Courage to have the strength during those dark nights, to look up when the weather is favourable enough, and you can see the bright stars. Stars that remind you that the morning light always comes. And brightness.
 Because the courage is a magic and healing power that makes being and for growing more yourself possible.
I wish courage and love to your lovely one’s life.
Rohkeutta seilata aallokoilla, uskallusta uida vastarintaan. Rohkeutta kuunnella omaa sisintÀnne ja kehoanne -raivaten sille omaa, ansaittua, tilaansa kalenteriin.
Rohkeutta irtisanoa elÀmÀstÀsi asiat ja ne ihmiset, jotka himmentÀvÀt valoasi ja tuovat pilkahduksen aina pimeÀÀ mukanaan -lopulta viedessÀÀn enemmÀn sinua mennessÀÀn kuin tuodessa tullessaan. Jokin asia tai ihminen kun voi parhaimmillaan tuoda enemmÀn sua itseÀsi astuessaan elÀmÀÀsi -tuntuen tutulta ja turvalliselta, sinunlaiseltasi.
Ennen kaikkea mÀ toivon tÀhÀn sun uuteen vuoteen rohkeutta ja uskallusta luottaa ja toivoa.
Rohkeutta luottaa epÀonnistumisten jÀlkeen itseesi. Ja yrittÀÀ. Uudelleen ja uudelleen. Taputtaen itseÀsi selkÀÀn -eikÀ vieden itseÀsi nurkkaan hÀpeÀmÀÀn tai piiskaten henkisesti verille.
Rohkeutta uskaltaa toivoa keskellÀ sysimustaakin pimeyttÀ, ettÀ sekin on muutoksenlain alaisuudessa eikÀ ole pysyvÀÀ vieden sitÀ viimeistÀkÀÀn elÀmÀnkipinÀÀsi mennessÀÀn.
Rohkeutta olla luopumatta niistÀ valoisimmista ajoista, jotka lopulta tulevat kumoten sen pimeyden, joka sai sut varpaillesi -ja lopulta vei sut kaatuneena polvillesi. Valoisimmista ajoista, jotka vÀistÀmÀttÀ tulevat pimeÀn yön jÀlkeen.
Rohkeutta uskaltaa sen pimeydenkin keskellÀ katsoa ylös suotuisan sÀÀn aikana, jolloin on nÀhtÀvissÀ kirkkaitakin tÀhtiÀ, jotka muistuttavat sua siitÀ, ettÀ pimeÀn yönkin jÀlkeen tulee aina aamu. Ja valkeus.
SillÀ rohkeus on se taianomainen ja parantavakin voima, joka tekee olemisesta ja enemmÀn omaksi itseksesi kasvamisesta mahdollista.
Rohkeutta ja rakkautta just sun ihanaisen elÀmÀÀn.
And thank you from the bottom of my heart that exactly You have found your way to Fashion Poetry, that celebrated the 8th birthday at the beginning of this year.
You can’t even realize how much it means to me that you are here supporting my dream, that has become my job and a dear business of mine.
And I truly hope that I can be there for you and support your dream -no matter how huge, big, medium or small it is.Â
Ja kiitos koko syrÀmmestÀni, ettÀ juuri sÀ olet löytÀnyt tiesi Fashion Poetryyn, joka juhlisti 8-vuotissynttÀreitÀÀn tÀmÀn vuoden alussa.
Et tiedÀkÀÀn, ettÀ miten paljon mulle merkitsee, ettÀ juuri sÀ olet tukemassa mun unelmaani, joka on vuosien saatossa edennyt työkseni ja rakkaaksi bisnekseni.
Ja toivon, ettÀ saan olla mukana tukemassa sun unelmaasi -oli se miten valtava, suuri, mediumi tai pieni tahansa.
But I know that now, when the Fashion Poetry is growing again one year older through this year, there’s coming a new winds, the ones I told you before on the latest article and so much more newness, that will provide even more, better and concretely the FP’s mission:
“The Fashion Poetry is all about empowering you through fashion and a heartfelt content.

-one article at a time.”
Let’s make this year 2019 to bring us even closer, shall we? đ
Sen ainakin tiedÀn, ettÀ Fashion Poetryn kasvaessa jÀlleen vuoden vanhemmaksi lÀpi tÀmÀn vuoden, niin luvassa on niin jo edellisessÀ artikkelissa mainittuja kuin muitakin uusia tuulia, joiden myötÀ tarkoitus on tuoda entistÀ enemmÀn, paremmin ja konkreettisemmin FP:n missiota julki:
âThe Fashion Poetryn missiona on voimaannuttaa muodin ja sydĂ€mellisen sisĂ€llön vĂ€lityksellĂ€.
The FP on itsensÀ rakastamisen ambassadori, auttaja löytÀmÀÀn sen kokonaisen potentiaalin ja tankkauspiste unelmien toteuttamiselle. Muuttaen maailmaa rakkaudella ja tyylillÀ

A 31-years-old serial entrepreneur, hopeless life-romantic and three-time cancer survivor. I'm living in Finland, drinking too much green tea and enjoying life to the fullest with my best friend aka Hubby and our miraculous fifth-grader.
I'm a marketing nerd and an university dropout turned into a successful serialpreneur with my nearly 17 years of experience (yep, don't let my age fool you!). My greatest passion and expertise in life&biz is to turn impossible situations into possible, empower dreamers&doers, like you, to love the life they live and turn your passion into a paycheck -(without it taking over their life.)
Before we met, I felt like âOh, Iâll do this and that when Iâve got time.â But after we met, Iâve got so much ideas from you and Iâve been coming back to your website and to your Instagram so many times. I am thankful our paths have crossed and I canât wait our next meeting. â€ïžâ
"Mira, you made me speechless -in a good way. I feel like youâre the flow, you buust me up and take me forward.
CAMILLA - reader since day 1, TWENTY-SOMETHING
And then suddenly you come along and I notice how I think to myself, "Hey Camilla, you're never alone with your feelings and thoughts. â€ïž"
"Mira, I just love how you share your vulnerability here on social media. Because, to be honest, sometimes I notice how I'm dwelling on that feeling like I'm all alone.
Your crisp and clear advices really help me to keep going forward. I felt like giving up, but with your practical advices I have succeed in doing my businesses's websites in just a ONE week. Launching my website is all I've got left to do. I strongly recommend Mira's services as a start-up entrepreneur.
"Mira, your business coaching call was very useful. It clarified my services and I got new perspectives on which way to go from now on.
camilla - reader since day 1, twenty-something
Then you came to my mind and I think to myself what would Mira say. I imagined you would say something like "Just breathe, my friend. And start working that love towards your lovely self." Then I calmed down. And NOW you've published this gorgeous photo of you in jeans and bras with thoughts about self-love. đđ I'm not sure is there some kind of power above us today that sends my thoughts forward or what -I really don't know. But I felt like telling you. Mira, you are lovely. â€ïžâ
"For real Mira, when I saw your newest post on my IG feed, my eyes misted over. Just couple hours earlier I was so anxious that I felt anxious enough to disappearing back to those scary bulimic times.
MARI - chronic illness warrior, 32 YEARS OLD
Thank you so much for that! It's amazing how our dreams help us making it through tough times. đđœ"
"Mira, I read your story frequently. Because you and your story inspire me to keep doing my thing. đ„°
Elisa Kallokoski - BURLESQUE ARTIST
Basically, practical help and advices. A roadmap where to start and which steps to follow in order to get forward. My own thoughts were (and from time to time still are) a pretty buzzy, so I needed someone to get the hang of my thoughts. And Mira, you really did that. Our coaching call take of smoothly and vigorous, without feeling too cold. I felt like Mira really wanted to help precisely me. Chatting with Mira felt so natural that I got a brand new information, that doesn't read in any business guides, without even noticing it.
"I strongly recommend Mira's services -even in that point where you wonder do you even have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. I needed someone who would kick my ass and advices that I wouldn't get any other trainings.
