As you may have noticed, I am not around as much as I used to. It is just a matter of time and prioritizing between obligations and things that mean a lot to me. However, my blog is about sharing inspiration to make people see a bit more about themselves than they did before. I want to share the miracles of life I was blessed to experience. And in applying them to my life, my life has become a vessel. That vessel still takes me out into stormy seas. But I realized it is up to me how to get through them.
I have to admit that despite all the additional activities and consequences through them, I have often thought of putting my blog to rest. When I released my first book in English, my publisher set up this blog for me. That was when my blog adventure started. During that time, a lot has changed. From a stay-at-home mom, therapist, and professional singer, I went through several educations, started an additional job, and added the big project of producing natural cosmetics to my business. Often, I was just too empty, or it was simply too late at night, that I didn’t want to bother to spend an additional 2 hours on WordPress.
I love my life and everything I am blessed to fill it with. I am proud of myself for how much I have achieved. But I noticed clearly that I miss the lightness I used to have. I miss the time when I just let inspiration flow and merge with everything around me. One of the sources to charge my batteries and open my inner windows to let light and air in is my garden. Another way of getting there is YOU!
Because of you, I keep it going with joy, even when limited. Your comments remind me why I started to write and share what still waits inside of me to be shared. You have no idea what it means to me when I notice that my words touch something in others that makes them think or even consider looking at a different perspective about themselves. My greatest joy is making someone’s day a little bit brighter by seeing themselves in that brighter light. It is the motivation with which I started writing I’m Free. I am aware that I won’t know everyone I reach. But I don’t need to. After all of these years, I know that there will be someone out there who needs to read exactly what they need. That alone won’t ever let me leave this blog.
So thank you from the bottom of my heart
for letting me feel that I might still be on purpose.
And I hope in return
you see how much you fulfill your purpose
by only being you,
and by the way you are going through this life.
In Love and Light

I love sharing the string of thoughts that went through my mind every once in a while. But some comments remind me that I have started this for a purpose and that is everything that matters – not the amount of posts or time of my presence here. Thank you 😊

Thank YOU dearest Erika…. For the time you do give us here, and for all of your inspiring posts and comments… Life changes as we shift our awareness and priorities and I fully appreciate the time and effort it takes to keep a blog going and it is almost impossible to keep abreast of everyone we follow on a regular basis.. Here I am now at 11 30pm still trying to catch up with posts and my blogging community. We appreciate you Erika when ever you find the time to post and visit… The main thing Erika is that you are enJOYing that which you are doing… When it becomes a chore and and effort its time to rest.. Likewise I have taken long breaks from my blog, and Miss that upliftment we get when we interact with friends of like minds…
So we appreciate you, when ever you get here… Just keep looking after YOU… Much love your way xx ❤ xxx

Awh, you are sweet, and I admire you for being up so late and visit the community, Sue. To be honest, I would not. I have my time window and when it closes, I don’t stress myself out. But, however, I love visiting you and the others whenever I am here. I would miss your inputs, wisdom, reminders, and confirmations so much. As you said, it is about coming together and interact the way we do. That is what brought us together and gives everyone so much. But it only makes sense when we are ready for it. Accepting natural breaks is a healthy thing for keeping the inspiration fresh and vivid. Thank you for being here. I always appreciate your visits and posts, my dear friend, and it does not matter when and how often. Connected is connected 💖

Oh, no, I used to feel guilty if I was not around all the time in the first years of blogging. But due to how my life developed that guilt had to be transformed in healthy time managament.
I questioned whether it still makes sense to run this blog when I cannot keep up a regular posting schedule. But lovely and inspiring conversations like ours, or reactions that show that there are people out there who needed to read what I shared, are more than enough proof that it does not really matter. And that’s what fills me with even more joy to stay here 💖

Thank you Erika, your words in this are a beautiful blessing my friend. And I am so glad you came to share on here. Many the post has ‘nudged’ me to think, ponder and be glad you did touch my heart and soul, and ever the awareness you dare me to break open ❤️
And so many times I look at where we are in this WordPress blogland, the wisdom and love shared, the friendships created, from near and far…and wouldn’t change a thing. And so from that kind lady, thank you with all my heart for this lovely post, and many others, and for just being you from the light that you are 🤗❤️🙏

That’s exactly, how I experienced it too. We come here together as a new formed community that attracts so many lovely souls on and on. That alone is worth staying here and absorbing the love, compassion, and togetherness. Compared to other social media platforms the community I am blessed of being a part of is so pure and full of love. What more could we wish for, right? Just imagine I had never met you here, I would have missed you all of my life 😄💖

Haha, that is brilliant Erika. We would indeed have missed each other 🤣 It has all had a great purpose kind lady, and shaped us into who we are. And even down the track we question here…is our purpose met, is it time to begin a new path etc. And especially now as the energy is asking us to really look deep. You have spread your wings and maybe it is asking can you do both, and I for one feel you do give hugely here, and I appreciate every word. But I think I can handle a reduced laugh, smile and ponder on what you share. Even I have gone quiet…well, post wise anyway. And maybe you could just take a break to ponder if you would miss us all 🤗❤️🙏

I am running this blog for 11 years. Even if I thought about it, I cannot imagine leaving this place for good. No, too many connections, and kindred souls here that I could only meet through this blog. No, even if I don’t post regularly at times, to not overstretch myself, I cannot imagine to disappear. I only need to remember why I started it, and I am good. Sometimes it is even good to take natural breaks to keep the inspiration fresh. All is perfectly well. Thank you so much for sharing this place here with me, Mark 💖
