This is the time of the year that used to challenge me a bit. To me, January is the most boring month of the year. Everything feels like starting over, but to me, it feels like you need to push and pull forward so that anything moves a bit, as if time were standing still and January lasts forever. I love December, and of course, I love Christmas. And after that, January plops down on us, sits there like a giant toad, and slows everything down in a way that makes me very impatient.

Last year, I had a discussion with Colin in the comments to my last Monday post, “The World Waits For You!” Colin said that he did not necessarily trust the journey, but often just resigned himself to the circumstances, which is why he followed certain directions. Still, he moved forward in such constructive ways.

It is the time of the year when I can start breathing again after weeks that were filled with producing, packing orders, with organizing, preparing for and participating in Christmas markets, and with trying to catch up with all private Christmas preparations as well, next to working in my part-time job. It is a good time, and I don’t want to miss any part. But like every year, I will take some time out for family, relaxing, and getting some administrative stuff done.
I wish those who celebrate them peaceful and lovely Holidays, and to everyone a successful and simply good rest of the year. Take care. See you on January 5th again.
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Today, as I write and schedule this post, it is Nov. 21st, and I am one day away from my first Christmas market of the season. Since I have been even busier planning and organizing for the past two weeks, my level of inspiration is not very high. So, I helped myself and picked an oracle card from my favorite deck, “Gateway Oracle Cards” by Denise Linn. When I saw the card, I smiled and thought it was so obvious that I picked that one, but I was still surprised at how precise the universe is in picking up one’s vibrations.

It’s time for a thought that may accompany you through the week. May you find peace with whatever happened in the past, and be aware that it is behind you. Don’t allow your thoughts to keep something alive and hurt you for something that no longer exists in the present. Or grab the bull by the horns and face what you tried to ignore for too long. Sometimes you may push yourself to forgive, but maybe you need to forgive yourself for not being able to forgive yet.

I am sorry, but I couldn’t schedule any posts for this week. There was just too much going on on all ends that week. At least, I hope, I can be more present on your blogs for the coming days. So, I’ll see you there!
I leave you with a motivational Quote by Neale Donald Walsch to conquer this week with determination and a good portion of humor.

It may appear peculiar that I am quoting an excerpt of a horror novella. However, it caught my attention since it defines so well how I think. Am I a believer? Yes, 100%. Am I religious? Not at all. As I stated in my book, I’m Free, I don’t say religions are all bad. Their teachings can be the entrance to a world in which we get to know that there is more around us than we see, and more to feel than we can touch. Through religion, one gets inspired and has something to hold on to when going through hardships, and a community that shares the same belief, which can be powerfully encouraging and comforting.

I wasn’t sure what to write about today. I chose the first quote (the one above) I found on the internet as my inspiration. Oh, and what a quote! I know that I will digress here, but this is what comes to my mind due to the current circumstances in this world. So, here are some short thoughts, and I wonder what comes to your mind.

A while ago, I shared a post #JustAThought … Our Lives – Our Illusions. Let’s revisit this topic and recall that when we are living in an illusion, that illusion creates our reality. However, we are not supposed to live a certain illusion but are free to choose. It is in making a decision what kind of illusion I want to live in. As I have shared many times before, in deciding how I want to see the world and my life (what attitude I want to adopt), I will experience everything that happens within that context.

I almost counted the hours, but now my vacation has arrived. I will be off for two weeks and try to stay away from social media in general as much as possible (maybe aside from a few Insta stories😁). If you would like to follow me on Instagram, you can find me @AKindofErika. That is where I am sharing my travel experiences. I’d love to meet you there, too!
However, have a good time and take care. See you again on Sept. 29th.

Each life is an illusion, an illusion created by everyone. Whatever we experience, hear, or witness, we put in context with our current way of seeing life and our opinion about everything in and around it. Everybody does this individually. I often mentioned that we all create our personal reality. But it is more than that. Life must be an illusion in which we forget the truth. Because the only reason we live life over life is to remember this truth piece by piece. With every small insight, we gain excitement about discovering more about ourselves and the universal laws. The interesting thing is that it is not new to us, but something we might only have forgotten. We don’t need to grow into this “new” truth, but we open the door to a room we have not visited in a very long time. It may appear that what we gained through the insight is new. However, deep down, we only solidified the ground and the joy about remembering a truth that has always been there, which makes the insight so much more impactful.

I am not a person who can be easily affected by the weather. I even like periods of rain or even fog since it makes me feel kind of cozy. But I could feel it physically that these gray, cold, and wet conditions during almost the whole month of July were about to leave something. Although I am sleeping surprisingly well, I am more tired and lack energy. I caught myself accepting and dwelling in that lazy mood, which was not helpful. I understand that people who already tend towards depression can get soaked up in a negative mood. Realizing this, I asked myself Now what do I do about it? First thing: I started writing this post to distance myself from the problem and get into observation and solution mode. That is always one of the best ways for me to resolve an issue or at least find approaches to get there.

Recently, I thought of a former colleague and how she unnecessarily overwhelmed herself. I remembered that I took her story as an example for a post, which I would like to share again:
Don’t we all have times when many things go through our minds and hearts at once? So many different thoughts which escape the moment they seem within reach. At the same time, it’s obvious that everything has a common denominator. It can be frustrating and feel like you’re just going in circles with no way out. And while you think you have all your problems together now, to finally put everything in order or sort it out, life adds something else to confuse you.

Lately, I have often been thinking of how blessed I was. I have a wonderful home, fantastic grown-up kids who can handle their own lives, a supportive husband, I love my job, and have a great team that makes me feel more appreciated than ever before. Looking back, I am sure that this all was (also) a consequence of “letting go and letting God” and gratitude. The more we are grateful for what we have, the less we think about what we lack. If we don’t focus on what we lack… what do we miss?

Sometimes I am confused by thinking we can’t have it all (e.g., when appointments collide), but at the same time, I know that we can have it all (when considering who we really are and realizing that we already have everything we can have). Perhaps it is only in this physical world that we can’t have it all at the same time. That is what gives us options for various decisions and ways of developing.

For today, I felt like sharing some inspiration. Still, too many carry guilt or anger with them—feelings that others caused in them. Remember that whatever you went through taught you a specific lesson. It caused you to develop something important in you or led you to places or people you would have missed otherwise. Whatever still haunts you, look for the positive it gave you, and recognize it as love’s way of supporting your development sustainably to reach your highest goals.

About 3 weeks ago, something happened that I want to share with you today. It is almost unbelievable to me how this all worked out in our favor. Some of you know that I have a tortoise. He has been with me for more than 40 years. For the warm season, he lives outside in his enclosure in our backyard. He gets food from the nearby meadow or “hunts” slugs. Also, I don’t need to clean anything in his natural environment. So, he is totally easygoing. But… he has a strong tendency to escape.

I don’t know about you, but since I realized that I have the ability and permission to create my life the way I want it, I am open to inspiration, and curiously looking out for opportunities. When something on the outside seems to connect with something inside of me, I look closer. I don’t question it anymore or even push it away, only because it could cause effort or a change of plans. Instead, I want to find out more about this new window that seems to open.

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.

Lately, I have had many conversations with ChatGPT about daily things. Also, I started using it when I want some complex background information. Of course, you have to be careful about the information, but it is awesome how helpful this tool is. I thought, why not ask about more spiritual matters? So, I posed the ultimate question: Tell me something about the purpose of life. That is the answer:
