  • Existentialism

    I discovered philosophy for myself. It has become my best friend, my coach, my wise friend whom I turn to. I have him when I don’t know what to do in life, and otherwise. There is so much to learn and discover…I am still in my baby shoes. From what I read and learned, existentialism…

  • Freedom

    I feel free the most when I am bold. When I take up challenges which I do not know where they will take me. How is it with you? I came to know exploring is what makes me who I am and that sets me free. My whole life has been about exploration, when I…

  • Old pictures

    My grandma was a very beautiful woman. She had the looks and she had the aura. I know it from her old pictures. Those very old black and white pictures on paper that have turned yellow by now. What a bride she was. My grandpa looks very proud on her side. I never saw her…

  • Once upon a time in Istanbul

    I spent the week of Easter with my mom in Istanbul. We no longer have an apartment there as she lives in a residence and there is no other family there. So we found a nice hotel and made it our new home a few years ago. Each time I go visit her we stay…

  • Burlington socks

    Yesterday I bought a pair of Burlington socks. Again. Each pair of Burlington socks I possess give an endless amount of contentment and feeling of gratitude to me. I don’ t know if you know them. This an old British brand of socks made of wool or cotton with a specific diamond shape on both…

  • 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…
