A long time has passed since my last post and a lot has happened. I don’t want to go into any detail, just so much that it involved the move of my in-laws and our own move. I practically managed both moves on my own (more or less) and it sucked a lot of energy […]

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine blacked out, fell and broke his hip. Just like that. It scared the sh…t out of me and got me thinking…. My friend is 80 years old and I’m convinced that age played a role in this accident, but it nevertheless shocks me how easy his […]

Do you remember when Whitney Houston sang this song in 1985/1986? I was a young adult at that time and whenever this song was playing I was singing from the top of my lungs (only when I was alone – I am so bad at singing). I loved the song, but I had no idea […]

I registered myself for the next 5K! As mentioned in one of my posts before, I quit smoking last year (August) and started running (for the first time in my life) 2 month later – to test my increased lung function! And to motivate myself I registered for the 5K-Critter Trail (November 18th). That gave […]

In my post about the vision board I mentioned the DCS system. And today I want to explain it, because it sounds so simple, and it kind of is, but if you don’t follow some rules it won’t work. Decide This can be tricky because we’re talking here about short-term goals and not […]

This time I made a video. This is my first video, so please bear with me. The quality isn’t too good. I was pretty nervous so my German accent was worse than normal and I made a lot of mistakes. I promise it will be better next time!
