living on the finca, flat share, with 20 people. about 12 of them living here for a longer period, the others changing every few days: couch surfers. i really like this: meeting so many interesting, open-minded people, living all different lifes. it is not us being “different” or freaky here. furthermore, they are all very helpful concerning the 1000s of questions & difficulties in our new everyday life. thanks to the universe for leading us to this place!

living together in one room, the 3 of us, for two weeks now, is another challenging experience.

becoming familiar with how things work here … everything is new, learning all the time.

i am living HERE & NOW, simply going the way step by step … & the universe really is giving us all we need & want to have. feels so good

i have celebrated my birthday a few days ago … well, actually i am still celebrating
such gorgeous days with lots of great surprises! a wonderful party, a gift coupon for my favourite delicious fruits, calls, mails & letters. i am so grateful for all of these!

today i found this beautiful present in my postbox:

gorgeous. & exactly what i need!

during the last weeks i have been quite busy … working while being indoor & spending as much time outdoor as possible … but now here are some impressions for you of what i did:

taking earth day (about two weeks ago) as the motive to start celebrating earth, nature, again this year. spent a warm & sunny afternoon at my favourite gardener’s, planting bantam corn & enjoying the sun & the greens.

another sunny day, another trip to the baltic sea, taking a walk at the beach, climbing big rocks, harvesting seaweed, visiting friends in their garden.

nora brought these funny ghosts

spent the afternoon with both kids, enjoying the autumn sun on a walk & with some spontaneous halloween crafts:

balloon monsters, painted by the kids

guess we are well prepared for tomorrow

happy halloween!

in face of continuous raining we went to the kiekeberg museum today to celebrate thanksgiving & – mainly – to visit the horse day. we saw lots of different horses, so beautiful some of them. i saw friesian horses – one of the most beautiful horse breeds to me. there were several shows like western riding, circus stunts and so on. i was totally fascinated by the presentation of “natural horsemanship” – a phrase new to me but describing exactly the way of natural non-violent interaction with horses i am looking for! (wanna read something more about it? – visit monty roberts homepage or this page of a german horse trainer.) it was phantastic to see the girls & women communicating with the horses, working WITH them, so obviously being a team each with her horse. relating with the horse. made me happy to watch them
