Our Deepest Fear
by Marianne Williamson Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a … Continue reading Our Deepest Fear
Body and Mind
I strongly believe in the connection of body and mind. They are the two parts of a whole. I started getting interested in this topic about ten years ago as a consequence of my life story and my dancing. I used to have a lot of body tension and rigidity back then. I was painstakingly … Continue reading Body and Mind
Airports
I just brought my mom to the airport. We said goodbye. Is this the last time? This time she walked towards the security control and I turned back to go to the exit. We had just dropped off her luggage. She had a little carry on in her hand that she wanted to take into … Continue reading Airports

Every morning we would wake up to some beautiful recording he had started to play immediately after he woke up as the earliest … Continue reading Growing Up While Dancing

Are you distressed by crowds, jammed streets and places, clubs, loud music, large parties, contentless smalltalk? Are you aroused, … Continue reading Highly Sensitive Person
The other way around
Two weeks ago I turned 46. Almost half a century old. So I am grown up enough, one would say. For my mom I am still her child, and in return she is mine. In July she is turning 80. I really don't know how to express my feelings about this new reality, except that … Continue reading The other way around
Covid Bittersweet Friend
Two years ago almost about this time, I was sitting in the plane from Buenos Aires to Zurich, wearing a mask, fully confused, almost scared and hoping to reach "home" safely. I had been in Buenos Aires only for three days before I got on that plane. My shortest stay there ever. That was when … Continue reading Covid Bittersweet Friend
