It's a memory of her grandmother who used to comb her and called her with that name, singing an old folk song. She lived in the former Yugoslav Republics / Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia and since the war in her country she has been living in the newly born country -Croatia. She grew up with her grand mom, because her mom and dad were engineers, and often they had to remain away from the home. Her dad always tried to compensate for his absence, whenever he had free time. He would take her for walks, played with her various games, took her to cinema ... for Mom, whenever she used to come home, a lot of work was waiting for her so she always missed her. Maybe, this made her start with art, in art she was in her own world. She was a gifted child, long before starting school, she learned letters; she began reading early and become a lover of written words. Since then, she utilized every moment to read. She wrote her adventures with the children in the neighbourhood that popped up by themselves. From the elementary school she was always attached with some writers associations. She liked to draw, she was the youngest member of the Association of Artists in Yugoslavia. She was also interested in photography. She played the accordion, it was an instrument of joy for her, at that time. Some tragedies that happened later distracted her from playing, but she wrote and drew more and more. She was interested in every kind of art that connects the people. Painter paints smiles with his colours, the musician composes the notes of peace, the singer brings joys with his voice and the writer touches the secret chambers of the heart with his words, and carries the listeners through dreams and desires… she was all in one.

As she puts "I believe that Spirituality is the essence of human life. There can’t be a real, genuine and transparent vision of truth without a glimpse of Spirituality in our daily life and thereby, there is nothing wiser in the world than to be endowed with spiritual wisdom." "Spirituality is the Mystical face of religion…. Spirituality is the Mirror that reflects divine vision". "The soul is the essence of our existence. The human body is a mask, a mere Simulacrum. It is the soul that heals, enlightens our instinct and endows our desperate heart with energy, faith and light." "A soulless human being is like a beast wondering in a wild desert, unable to control its deep impulses, manipulates its uncontrollable desires, its intense ecstasy and its unmanageable lust after the material world." Hela Jenayah Tekali has recently published three books: Halos of Light published in June 2015, The Quest Of Love published in June 2017 And The Soaring of my Soul in February 2018.
