My Journey to my dream and a new world…

A brave new world

So the start in 2021 was certainly different. I spent new years eve at home on my couch... Due to various firework restrictions there was only a smattering of noise, enough to realise it was midnight but not the typical all out blast that I was used to in Cologne... and for which I am … Continue reading A brave new world →

Reflections on 2019

2019 was, well... it was a rough ride. Filled with different challenges, change, promises of things that did not work out quite how I imagined it and revelations. People are going / have gone and others are coming back or new people are charging into my life. Time went by so fast in the last … Continue reading Reflections on 2019 →

Insomniac dairies – Friends

So lately I have trouble sleeping... it is past 12 on Tuesday and after 2.5 hours of whirling around in my bed; trying breathing exercises or to generally stop thinking I have given up. The air is sticky and even after a thunderstorm and a brief shower it has not really cooled down that much … Continue reading Insomniac dairies – 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

My dear friends, so today I wanted to focus on me. Typically the ideal situation would be that all the problems and stuff disappear so that one can focus on oneself... Well... Ideal... So now to reality, today I worked 11+ hours. I am working on a project at the moment so it's ok. Sometimes … Continue reading Day 1 – it’s all about the feet →

5 Days of self care

One of the first things that fall off the bus when my stress levels shoot up or work takes over my life is my ability to look after myself. How does this look like: I sleep less I spend more time at work than in any other area of my life I mainly eat junk … Continue reading 5 Days of self care →

Question of time

So it has been a while since my last 'rebel-against-the-negativity-of-the-world' post. A couple of things have changed. I was given the opportunity to join a new company on a permanent basis, which meant me having to resign from my fixed term contract... trust me, being in another country does not mean your Boss reacts any … Continue reading Question of time →

My grateful list

Sometimes, in a world filled with negativity, violence and pain one needs to take a small step back to reflect on the pure wonder in life. I am grateful for: 1. The train that still arrived on time, even if it was full and there was no seat left.   2. Being able to read … Continue reading My grateful list →

The world is your oyster

Why do we allow our light to be dimmed in a world where anything is possible?
