WALKING ON SUNSHINE

Katrina and The Waves (1985)

Today I’m walking on sunshine, yesterday I was walking on sunshine. For a long time now I feel great and I’m walking on sunshine.

Over the past years that was not always the case. I’ve travelled a bumpy road that had highs and lows. Sometimes it was difficult to see the window of opportunities. I felt miserable and just wanted to hide myself under my duvet, a pillow on my head, lights off. As if hiding would bring me any positive news….

I listened to inspiring speeches to get me going. One of them is Oprah Winfrey’s “The Most Eye-Opening 20 minutes of Your Life.” in which she says “Turn your wounds into wisdom”. I couldn’t agree more.

These wounds can be deep. And even if they aren’t really that deep, they can feel like a small and deep hole that you can’t get out of. But hey, staying in the hole isn’t an option either. So, feeling the force of being able to drag yourself out makes you proud. And of course, I was never alone in my proces. Friends helped me dragging me out of my misery. 

And although I know there will be new wounds in the future, for now I just value this intense feeling of happiness, because one day, I just woke up, realizing I slept really well for the first time in years. Like a caterpillar finally opening his cocoon, I could feel the sun on my skin, even better, I felt I could walk on sunshine.

“I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, wooah”.

DON’T STOP ME NOW (CAUSE I’M HAVING A GOOD TIME)

“Don’t stop me now” – Queen 1978 “Tonight I’m gonna have myself a real good time, I feel alive”. I’m cutting through every safety cord that I had left. I feel insecure, but also determined.  If I truly want to be free, I need to release all boundaries.I did the thing that scared me most:…

MY PORSCHE Last summer I saw a Porsche in Whistler. It was parked in front of the hotel where my daughter was doing an internship and it immediately stole my heart. THIS was going to be my Porsche one day. It had a special colour blue, greyish blue, which felt just like the right colour…

A little gesture means the world

Last year I was facilitating a storytelling training with my co-host bestie. When he entered the room he gave me this card. It was a simple caring gesture of kindness and it immediately created the positive energy that we always feel when facilitating together.  Sometimes this is litterally just all that it takes. What can…

LET LOVE RULE!

I did an internship in Tunisia when I was 21. In the mornings, I drove to my work to an inland fashion factory. In the evenings, to pay for my rent, I had an extra job, working at the Ruspina hotel animation team, entertaining the hotel quests with sketches, dancing, singing. Back then and there,…
