Gratitude – my new Instagram journey

Childhood

It has been an Indian woman living in Switzerland, who introduced me to Deepak Chopra’s meditation circle, half a year ago. Since then, I’m doing my 20 minutes of guided meditation every day – a thing, which I dreamt at least 20 years of, but which I never succeeded in. Why? I got so much […]

Animals

My first reading close to my Swiss hometown: all 30 chairs at the Bistro Bechandra in Elgg were taken. What are the most touching moments during the readings of children’s books?

Smiling colors

Allgemein

In Switzerland, everybody with a garden owns one of these dark green, ugly containers. Every week, these containers are being rolled to the street. Every week, the garbage truck takes the green, compostable goods out of these ugly creatures. Everything is so clean and cozy in Switzerland. You cannot believe it before you’ve seen it […]

Confidence

Animals

I feel so amazed, when I look at my nearly one-year-old cat. This young cat is lying on our sofa without having any fear. The world could go under, but this cat is confident. It feels protected by us humans. Did I ever feel like this in my life? I would say no. Since years […]
