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 […]
Encouraging people to write their books My first meeting with over 30 Swiss female writers gave me a lot of inspiration. I’ve been writing since I am 12 or 13. I filled up many journals with my thoughts, and I always dreamt of writing a book. But, and this is something which I discovered this […]
My friends are very supportive. They all are very fond of «Leonard and Loulou». Many thanks! Publishing a book is like being pregnant and giving birth to a child. “Leonard and Loulou”, my first children’s book, is like a child who is taking me on a journey I never thought it would exist. I had […]
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 […]
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 […]
Babies grow fast It’s obvious: Babies are growing fast. Humans or cats: it’s the same. And there wasn’t enough time to write about each stadium of getting older. I’m so sorry. I could have told you about these precious moments when they had opened their eyes or when they had started walking around. We had […]
Different views The other day, we’re talking about travelling to India again. Big Boy was rather excited about the idea, Little Boy wasn’t. So, we started discussing, we three, about the good and bad things about spending our vacation in a totally different country than Switzerland. Little Boy told us: “I’d be coming under the […]
Fill up energy I didn’t want to go the Content Production Day by Dave Hertig in Zurich. I was afraid of meeting all the successful Content Managers and feeling very insignificant. Fortunately, I didn’t listen to my feelings but to my intellect. I got so much energy talking to this group […]
Listening helps He lives around the corner, and he told my boys how to make pizza on a grey Sunday afternoon two years ago. Gerry, the owner of Gerry’s Bar and the manager of the Italian restaurant, is a real Italian with a real wide-open heart. I knew I should talk to him. But when […]
Why not? She’s 87 years old, our remarkable grandmother, living in Geneva in her tiny apartment. “Do you play Beaver Gang with me”, asked Big Boy. “Well, I’ve no idea what this is”, said Grandmother. “But, why not!” Big Boy explained the game to her. Very quickly like a fast train. One could hardly follow. […]
