After spending a lovely evening at our neighbor's house, I went to bed early Friday the 13th. When I got up Saturday morning and checked a few tweets, I soon learned what happened on Friday night in Paris. I was out of words. So much hatred in the city of love. The next 2hrs I read articles, statements, More +

Beautiful together
Do you remember my blog post about the seven graphs that could change your life? One of them was this one: When I came across Tamara Lackey, this graph immediately came to my mind. It seems she has found that beautiful spot right in the middle. She discovered her talent for photography, runs multiple More +
The mountain man
Can one single person have such sheer determination and strong will that he can cut through a mountain? Yes, it is possible. Humans can be astounding. So is the story of Dashrath Manjhi, the mountain man. With his bare hands and a few simple tools, he created a road right through a mountain. It took him 22 More +
The world we want
I found the above image on Twitter and immediately felt like getting to know the person that tweeted it. That's how I learned about Amber Rae. Some people are artists. Others are art themselves. Amber Rae is both. What a woman; full of passion, spirit, desire and full of action. "After spending one too More +
Embrace people & their ideas
Did you ever feel you had a great idea while taking a shower? I think it is almost cliche, but it is a great place just to let your thoughts rain on you. I retweeted a quote from Deepak Chopra a few days ago that said: "We have approximately 60,000 thoughts in a day. Unfortunately, 95% of them are thoughts More +
What are we searching for?
Last Sunday, I got up, everyone was still sound asleep, it was very cold in our trailer, I turned on the heater, took a warm blanket and for more than an hour, just sat there. Thinking about the meaning of life, this blog, my goals, what to write next and what I'm doing here in the first place. What am I More +
Rose-tinted glasses
Ever since I have my new camera, I love the sea even more so than before. The moment I get to the coast, I unpack my camera and feel this urge to go out and take some photos. So the day we arrived, right after dinner I told my husband; "just leave everything on the table, I'll clean up when I get back, I need More +
Making decisions
Making decision can be hard. But we all need to make them. Every day. Small decisions as what to cook for dinner, to big decisions as which school to choose for our children. This month I made a big decision. The decision to leave the company I've put my heart into for the past eight years. Not an easy More +
Letting go
The art of letting go is truly an art. I woke up too early this morning. Still needing more sleep. But my head would not let me. I can be like a cow. A cow that keeps chewing and chewing. The same words in my head coming back over and over again. As if there is a song on repeat, in an infinite loop. My More +
5-rhythms dance workshop
Last Friday, me and a dear friend, joined a 5-rhythms workshop. We had little idea what to expect. A few months ago, we spent a weekend at my trailer and read an article in a magazine about 5-rhythme dancing. That day on the beach, we decided to see if anything alike would be offered in Cologne. The blessing More +
