The people I met that shaped me
I have met a bunch of people in my life. Good and bad. And all of them shaped me. Some more, some less. But they surely had an impact. For some, when I look back, our memories make me smile. But for some, when I look back, my heart jumps with joy and fulfilment. Not only did we have great talks and stuff but also did we share adventures and moments that have been extremely intense to me. A lake, the mountains, the ocean, the wind in my hair … this sense of being totally free and close to the higher powers are all what these moments have in common. Like this one at the Great Salt Lake in Utah USA with my special friend Christy who took this breathtaking photo of me.
What if it is not a crisis
2 weeks ago I had dinner with my friend at our favourite sushi restaurant to catch up on life and stuff. I told her about what was bothering me a lot recently and she said ‘What if the so called midlife crisis is actually not a crisis. What if it is a breaking out!’ I think that she really nailed it! I raise 3 kids. I care for my spouse, parents and family. I work for a living. But as I move on in the stages of life I start feeling that some ties have kept me from freely doing what I feel deeply inside of myself. What I first diagnosed as a crises is indeed a BREAKING out and I fully embrace it!
A light in the dark
Christmas Eve, I am walking alone through the dark night in the mountains in Tyrol. It is cold. I wander through woods and fields using my iPhone to lighten my path. As I enter the village that I call home a few times a year when I escape my busy life in Luxembourg, I come across this road chapel of Saint Marie and baby Jesus beautifully LIGHTENED. 10 years that I pass this chapel. 10 years that I have never seen it in such a beauty. I FOLLOW THE LIGHT and rest there for a minute. I forget about my struggles and find a bit of inner freedom.
