Dear Friends, so today was the last day of my little experiment.

So looking forward to seeing her beautiful surprised face! 🙂 What has changed in the … Continue reading Day 5 – the value of friends
Day 3 and 4… the saga continues
... so I bet everyone thought that I just gave it up? I actually had two good days. Not perfect but good. There is something special about Grace that once noticed one can just stand back in awe. This is what I experienced over the last 2 days. Grace. Typical me, I chose the worst … Continue reading Day 3 and 4… the saga continues
Day 2 … almost failing
So when I started this on Sunday I did not take into account that this week was most likely not the ideal week to start. My internal critic has been screaming the whole day about every thing that I have not managed to do yet. I once had a mentor give me the tip of … Continue reading Day 2 … almost failing
Day 1 – it’s all about the feet

It is quite magical this time of year, plants explode in colour, the weather goes a little crazy, not … Continue reading April, April
Snowy landscapes

Coming to myself
In our hectic world today... when do we slow down?
Sunday Hike
So it became cold... like -4 degrees celcius being the warmest... OK. Cologne is not Canada and it really does not snow much here. It's more like cloudy and rainy and more cloudy and more rainy... The city is situated in a bowl, which makes it fairly stifling in the summer and relatively warm in … Continue reading Sunday Hike
