#14 PEARL AWARENESS

When autumn arrives, Mother Nature exhales in countless warm shades and nuances. Her breath softens, and the sap quietly returns to the roots. The soil gathers its strength in stillness, wrapping seeds and roots in a gentle darkness where life can rest and dream. Beneath the fallen leaves, the earth slowly begins turning inward, weaving Continue reading

#13 THE CHESTNUT TABLE

Somewhere along my path of discovering who I really am, I once contemplated the option of dedicating a few months to a “work & travel” experience. I found an old house in the heart of Tuscany — they were looking for people who help them picking, selecting and peeling chestnuts for further processing. I always Continue reading

#12 ANGEL DUST

This reflection was written in the middle of summer, just in case someone wonders — but it’s not about the timing, it’s about the message… ⭒˚.⋆ ✴︎˚ ⋆˙⟡ I’m just sitting at our kitchen table. I picked a handful of fresh fennel blossoms this morning. Tomorrow I’ll fly to Germany to surprise my parents. I Continue reading

#11 LOVE LETTERS… PART I

The idea of writing ‘Love Letters’ to people I truly cherish was born long before this website took shape… Surprisingly, the people who came to my mind first were rarely those I’m in close contact with in daily life, nor do I have romantic feelings for them.

#10 MOONLIT PAGES

If you’ve been on your writing journey for a while, I’m sure you have, at least, heard of Julia Cameron’s “Morning Pages” — but I guess you most probably have tried her practice or even integrated it into your days.

#9 SO THIS IS MY LIFE…

Just a few words ahead… Did I ever mention that I LOOOVEEE what we Germans call “Bücher-Wühltische”? It literally means something like “books-digging-tables” in English. Libraries and sometimes also big supermarkets have such tables set for book lovers from time to time, and they can be true treasure chests. One of the last books I Continue reading

#8 LA VIE EN ROSE

We are moving from blue to rose… ٠⭒˚.⋆ ✴︎˚ ٠࣪⭑ Some weeks ago, in search of a birthday present for a 3-years-old little girl, I found my way into a nostalgic toy shop that’s over a 100 years old. They sell precious, vintage-style toys, and a little music box playing “La vie en rose” smiled Continue reading

#7 THE CARTOGRAPHY OF BLUE

In the early years of the new millennium, Dan Buettner, a National Geographic explorer, and his team began to discover that some places on the world’s canvas held secrets of longevity. They called them “Blue Zones” — areas in the world where people live significantly longer and above all healthier lives, often well into their Continue reading

#6 SACRED SPACES

Have you ever experienced this before? You read some words or see an image somewhere, and for whatever reason, it just doesn’t seem to leave your awareness… A few years ago, I read an article about ancient sacred groves in Estland that are being revived by the people of the villages nearby. Above anything else, Continue reading

#5 ON THE OTHER SIDE

No, I won’t tell you that the grass isn’t greener on the other side. Nor that it is. This is just a gentle invitation to “feel out” into the other side of where you are right now in your life and no longer want to be. This can be a general area of your life, Continue reading
