this week i got to travel third week in a row. after munich and berlin, i went to bruges, belgium with my dear friend tabea. on a sunny day we strolled around the cute little town centre, sweet little shops, chocolateries and candy stores… we took a boat trip, had waffles, fries and dinner at a typical belgian pub with belgian beer. i got to read my newspaper and my book on the ICE… i love travelling ;-)
i really can’t complain… i get to travel, stay in nice hotels, which are bigger than my apartment, dine out in lovely restaurants, meet new inspiring people. i get the chance to work on my own terms and hang out with my dear friends a lot.
i am very greatful for all the good things that happened to me last week. thanks to everyone for making my birthday so special.
sundays are my time for realignment
appreciation and gratitude
even though sometimes you have to make uncomfortable decisions, life seems clearer afterwards. glad the suns coming out again and i will have the opportunity to spend my next days working with a great team in berlin.
excited to meet up with some friends in the capital to return to a great party on the weekend.
this is to remind me what lovely things i was able to do last week… i saw robots like in the matrix which fascinated me a lot… it is finally spring and i was back early enough after another job to go for a run through a crowded park. saturday i had tea with a dear friend on her balcony, went to a literature marathon later on and dancing at night ;-). not exactly my type of music, but i had the urge to dance anyway. spend my sunday - a grey and dreary day - in bed watching junk tv and tv serieses. that was nice.
sun’s out again. hello spring.

i love how my friends think out of the box. it is such a blessing to be surrounded by creative people…
