Stop Running
December 03, 2008 @ 10:06 am

Before I was going back to Maui this fall I was staying in Switzerland for a few months and finally realized how much I loved Switzerland and Europe as well as Maui and the States. So far I have been running, always waiting for places that would offer me what I was looking for....The problem was...

Meditation
November 03, 2008 @ 1:46 pm

What is meditation? Finding a secret place? Sitting still? letting go of the mind? Focus on the "inner part" of your body? Be in nature? Live in the moment?... There are many understandings, imaginations, senses and definition of what meditation means... Here is one definition by Wikipedia...

Fortune and destiny
August 11, 2008 @ 9:57 am

I just finished reading the book "Glueck und Schicksal", Herrad Schenk, which discusses the feasibility of fortune and destiny. It is an approach to highlight the question of how much we can plan our life and how much we are/or not in charge of our success, fortune or destiny. Interesting to...

Birthday
August 07, 2008 @ 5:34 pm

Yesterday I celebrated my 34th birthday. The number does not so much matter to me nor that I am getting older and older.

Taking time off
July 02, 2008 @ 12:44 am

I was lucky to spent almost the whole winter on Maui where the temperature doesn't change too much between the different seasons. Even though a sweater is sometimes needed at night, the days are still warm and sunny most of the time and a dive into the ocean is always possible. Maui has many different climates and you can choose between desert, rainforest, beach , mountain and be in a total quiet...

Family values
June 11, 2008 @ 12:58 pm

Birthdays, Mother's days, Christmas, Easter... you name it, always an occasion to celebrate and bring people closer together. As infants, the attention and closeness plays an important role on such events. Kids seem to be most impressed by the gifts and as teenager maybe a kiss from the lover is...

Emotional eating
June 07, 2008 @ 11:52 am

Eating is a daily task and almost everyone deals with some eating issues. Can’t forego the piece of chocolate or stop eating bred after finishing the first slice? Are you a late night eater or skip breakfast? Not only the image of the women that is forced to be in shape and seemed to be more...
