Hello!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This week was busy and full of events. Running around, getting things done, meeting people, mediation, Reiki, long conversations, writing, interview, reading and blog maintenance. Now I am sitting in my parent’s kitchen, next to my husband who is also working on his computer while we enjoy a cup of tea. Our son is asleep and most likely dreaming of our walk in the snow this afternoon. It was cold and peaceful out there and felt amazing to warm up when we came back in. It’s the little things, as usual. What can you do on these cold winter days in the evening when you don’t feel like reading or watching TV? How about learning a new skill. Have you heard about Skillshare<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em>? If you are into online classes and interested to broaden your horizon you can sign up and take any of these courses for free. Writing, photography, cooking, fashion, design, business, music, writing and many more. Continue reading to find out what else I have been up to this week. Enjoy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>It seems that I have a lot more time to read these days. I am usually in bed at a decent time with a good book. I have finished <\/span>Henning Mankell’s Treibsand<\/a> <\/span><\/strong><\/em>which was amazing. Hands-down one of the best books I have read recently. I also finished <\/span>Bianca Sparacino’s Seeds planted in Concrete <\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em>which is available for \u00a0Kindle. It’s a nice little collection of poems. I loved this excerpt from LXXXVI:<\/span><\/p>\n

“<\/span>You\u00a0aren’t going to find someone who\u00a0completes you, and you shouldn’t strive for that. Instead, strive to find someone who inspires you to complete\u00a0<\/span><\/em>yourself. Strive to find someone who pushes you, and breaks into you in ways that allow\u00a0of\u00a0you to see all of the potential that exists within your bones.”\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Currently I am reading Nick Hornby’s “How to be Good”<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em> which I got at the last BookCrossing Stammtisch in Coburg. I like it so far. I picked up “H is for Hawks” by Helen Macdonald<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em> today at Riemann Bookstore.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Watching: <\/span><\/strong>A<\/span>\u00a0couple of years ago my husband and I saw the movie Pina by Pina Bausch<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and we enjoyed it. It is just something different and amazing to see what can be expressed through dancing. I was happy to find a documentary on YouTube on Pina Bausch. Check it out here<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0<\/span>I re-watched one of my favorite movies by far. The Human Stain. Click on the trailer if you like<\/span><\/p>\n
