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? My very special moments are when small girls and boys start telling things like about a cat, who came to their house, who did […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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. […]
Relationship It takes quite a while to get along. When I think of the two cats, it took four months until I could take this picture just two days ago. They didn’t like each other very much at the beginning. Couldn’t it be the same with humans? It doesn’t have to be something like a […]
It was a hot Summer Sunday afternoon. I was sitting at this place, looking at the lake and the mountains. I didn’t have a boyfriend, but I wished to have one. I tried to read a very intelligent book and to have a very intellectual expression on my face. I didn’t concentrate too much […]
5.12 p.m. after school Big boy: “Why are you so late from school?” Little boy: “Am I late?” Big boy: “It’s 10 past 5 and your school finished at 4.20.” Little boy: “No, it was 4.30.” Big boy: “No. It’s always 4.20.” Little boy: “Okay… I had to walk back […]
