Funnily enough, the coming of the colder months brought us more travel opportunities. It makes me glad because I seem to be more adjusted to the climate and more prepared with clothes so now having fun outside is possible even if it is not 30 C. Our adventures this Fall started in the Alsace, aContinue reading “Fall travels: 3 countries, 8 fairytale destinations, and a surprise ending”

In Gelnhausen, on a lovely fall day
Enchanting, colorful, and historic, medieval towns are my current obsession. I cannot resist their charm. Lucky we are surrounded!

All the positivity you sent is working
I am feeling a lot better these past two weeks. I can finish my sentences without pause and walk without running out of breath.

How to not win arguments
Markus is the most intelligent person I know, if not the most considerate. With the grace of a calm sea, he can listen to anyone’s argument, restate all the points better than you did, and explain all the concepts you missed while reassuring you that he understands why you thought that way to begin with. Oh,Continue reading “How to not win arguments”
A quick thought on the moment
We all know how important living in the moment is – it’s not like this is news to anyone anymore. Why, then, is it still so hard to do?
Fuck your feelings?
The phrase has seen a bit of a resurgence lately. You will be forgiven for immediately linking it to American politics. But populist hypocrisy aside, I have struggled with this phrase a lot in the past days for entirely different reasons.
A quick thought on living in tune with nature
It gets pointed out a lot that we humans are the only beings on the planet who don’t live in tune with nature. Instead, we exploit, destroy, and otherwise undermine nature’s systems for our own short-term gain.
A new day, a new talk show episode
Whenever we do blog nomination posts, we receive comments on how reading it is like watching a talk show. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Anyway, today’s episode is from our blog friend Michelle of Boomer Eco Crusader, who nominated us for the Sunshine Blogger Award. Thank you, Michelle! It is alwaysContinue reading “A new day, a new talk show episode”
