Daily Coffee Talk~ 89/365
Hi again from Germany. It has taken me a while to force myself to come back to this blog since current events threw me completely off balance lately. But if there is anything I am sure of, it is that I am the boss of me and there is plenty of coffee left in the…

Daily Coffee Talk~ 77/365
Sometimes my mind goes back to when I was a small child and I can for a split second reconnect to a time of pure joy. Those were moments when all that existed was the present. Time had a different nature to it. It did not threaten me with the future or blame me for…

Daily Coffee Talk~ 55/365
Hi my friends, Lea’s quarantine ended today! We have a negative covid test and the birds are singing again in our neighbourhood. You don’t realise the importance of human contact till you go 10 days without it. We have been smiling a lot today, hugging and being silly. I am grateful for her recovery and…

That would seem to be the ultimate goal and the secret to happiness, being able to feel truly satisfied. These people seemed to be always doing something, busy, working,…

The first day of the rest of my life~
Every morning I wake up, I get the same feeling: “today it can all be rewritten”. I was never one to believe in a determined destiny or a life already preplanned, or at least I was always questioning the process and processing the question. Today, the first day of 2018 of all days, I decided…

Quietly They Toil~ Yunnan
For some of us here on earth, the day begins and ends with physical work, and that brings a simple satisfaction of a hard-earned existence. Every working face I saw during my travels in Yunnan was always ready to break into an unapologizing smile; they possessed a contentment that can be forgotten to us in our boxed…

loving what you do and doing what you love
Have you ever tried to photograph or just picture in your mind an office worker who does not like what they do, but do it only because they have to? Can you imagine the expression of discontent and almost despair on their face? I still remember having jobs before where I did a mental countdown…
