The movie

Have you ever been in a hurry and driving to work takes longer then usual? Well, that is not strange, not at all! In spirituality we always say that ALL things happen for a reason, that everything that happens has to happen in order for you to grow, the good things and the bad things.  It is not much different when it comes to driving a car. The way you drive a car, fast, slow, if you respect the speed limits, if you are cautious when driving and driving defensive are all signs how you "drive" yourself throught your life. When you are late for work, what happens? You know you are late and you don´t want to come late again so you hurry so the delay is not that obvious but it will be anyway. So you get in the car start the engine, put in the gear, off to leave the kids to school, they are late too, of course, then when they are at school you drive off to the mainroad and wait to make a turn so you can get on the mainroad. What happens in this moment? Simple, since ...

The german language

I love the german language!  Yes! It´s true. German sounds so beautiful and well spoken it´s like music to my ears.  I grew up in Germany, in 1974 I arrived with my mom and brother to Berlin. Our father was there already and waited for us. It was wonderful to be in a new country but at the same time kind of scary.

The top five regrets of the dying

I had a dream today where a friend of mine who I have not have contact with for almost 3 years came into my dream and showed me photos. It was photos from the love of my life and other fun/beautiful stuff. I really don´t know now why we stopped seeing each other, but whatever reason I don´t care today and I wrote her a letter a few moments ago and I told her that I love her. And it´s really so. I love her! She is kind and fun to be with, she speaks about intresting stuff like spirituality so we have a lot in common.  I remembered the article of a woman who worked as a nurse in a pallitative home. The 5 top things people regret the most are:  1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. 2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard. 3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. I remembered that today and I think that the dr...
