Stuck in the sand
I stand here on the shore, both feet firmly placed onto the sand and watch how the tide is running out. The horizon is blurred, tears running down my cheeks. While my feet sink deeper and deeper into the muddy ground I wonder where all these years have gone by. Every year, so many tides feel the same, lost in my way, a mind filled with overwhelming thoughts, fears and doubts, full of regrets of what could have been. I am stuck in the sand, nowhere to go. The water flows to the horizon merging with the sky. Where will the waves go, which shore will they reach? They are…

A journey with the tides
Every journey starts with the first rays of hope. It’s this nudge that let you go for undiscovered places, the excitement for unknown paths. It starts with you catching the light, letting the thoughts and emotions flow, getting things cleared that are holding you back. Every journey is stepping into the healing and refreshing energy of nature, it’s trusting and letting things unfold. It’s being in awe, experiencing comfort, the inner peace and freedom you’ll find within. Every journey starts with the decision from the heart, the courage to walk with your heart as your lighthouse. It’s remembering your ocean within, the waves of your soul, the treasures and abundance…

The rebirth of freedom
I wanted to be free my whole life but fears have always cut my wings. When I started to dare, to push myself against the wind of conformity and rules, it felt like falling from the edge.They say that the safety net will appear when you are leaping, but my mind was only reaching for the last hold.My body was screaming for help but nothing did appear, only my heart was growing wings. Am I giving in? Am I letting go of everything that is weighing me down? The sweet surrender of flying? I was falling further and further. There was no safety net, only the waves waiting to devour…

Fears have stolen my voice
I’m starring at the blank page, frozen and can’t write a single word. Since the war began in the Ukraine all my words seem to be locked, imprisoned, in a state of fear. Fears have invaded my mind and heart and opened the chest of memories I thought I had buried a long time ago. I thought I had replaced these memories with a whole treasure trove full of hope, joy, connection, compassion, strength and freedom but now it seems to be hidden, protected with a powerful lock where the key is missing. Instead the ghosts of fears are all over the place. The fear of death, of losing loved ones and…

Waves
Waves Huge waves that keep my heart frozen, paralyzed, that drown me in my fears.Waves that shake me up, wake me up from a nightmare. Waves that bring me back into the here and now, into my life.What if the cold and darkness is only an illusion?What if the waves get me back to the surface, into the light, into a life of joy?What if there is this wave, only waiting for me, a wave, my wave that is meant to be,waiting for my courage?What if there is a wave only I can surf with all my heart, with all my being? What if there is no fear, only waves…

The ocean will set you free
„Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.“ – Jim Morrison – When fear of regrets is your biggest fear and you know how real this fear can be, because you have looked death into the eyes, what is there to be afraid of? When you know how fast your life can end, unfulfilled dreams sinking with you to the ground of the ocean, what will stay, what will you leave on the shore? When you have dived to the depths of your fears, only to see that they are old baggage sunken with the…
