we all were born for a reason. it was not a mistake and it didn’t occur randomly. we arrived exactly when we knew we would, into the exact environment we planned on arriving into, with full knowledge of what we were getting ourself into. only that in the moment we arrived, we forgot all that.

our challenge is to remember that reason & then, if we choose to, to fulfill it. the reason is our purpose for existing. it’s why we’re here.

(inspired by john p. strelecky)

knowing the reason why i am here can help me in making decisions – it’s like my personal compass for life. a very helpful step on my way to remember my purpose for existing is to realize what is (& has been) really important for me, the big themes in my life. what do i want to do, see, experience in this life? so i am just about to find out my “big 5 for life” …

a warrior of the light isn’t afraid to appear crazy … a loud soliloquy is the best way to communicate with the angels.

… i am reading another wonderful book from paulo coelho: “manual of the warrior of the light”.

this one made my day yesterday:
“der krieger des lichts leidet unter dingen, die es nicht wert sind, ist oft kleinlich und kann sich nicht vorstellen, dass auch er fähig ist zu wachsen. … er weiss nicht immer, was er hier eigentlich tut. liegt oft nächtelang wach, weil er findet, sein leben habe keinen sinn. deshalb ist er ein krieger des lichts. weil er sich irrt. weil er sich fragen stellt. weil er einen sinn sucht; und er wird ihn ganz gewiss finden.”

so encouraging. heartening. thank you!

i just registered for the raw mom summit … sounds interesting, interviews with lots of exciting women & men.

my favourite in london has been our visit of the “dalí universe”. i somehow like dalís work and i am fascinated by his genius. furthermore i have not visited any art museum or exhibition for quite a while & it was so genial. food for my soul. inspiring, too!

… there also was an interactive exhibition – the magic of art – where we played funny games, learning something about color schemes, perspective, art history and so on. created virtual images with the ‘art machine’. in the “graffiti room” we painted the walls with tempera colors … we had so much fun!

this wonderful box has been inside my advent calendar a few days ago:

very inspiring … it makes me dream of summer, warmth, sun … the playa cacao … this winter will be our last one here!
