The stillness of an early morning
Our secret rendezvous
Together we share a cup of coffee
I love these quiet moments
When it’s just you and me
You approach me slowly

7:30 AM. As I don’t have to rush…
A few weeks ago, I finally managed to visit my friend’s place. Her parents live in a small town in northern Germany, surrounded by nature. I couldn’t imagine a better place for a much need break from a busy city.
Unfortunately for us, it was raining cats and dogs. No…
So, don’t be sad that some of them did not work out. It doesn’t mean you should dismiss them. Some of your connections are just not meant to last. However, they played an essential part in shaping your personality.
Relations, like any other living organism, are a subject to evolution…
Last week we ‘celebrated’ World Mental Health day. How many of you did know World Mental Health day falls on the tenth of October? No worries if you didn’t.
