Only for Yourself

When did you write your last CV or your biography?

Was it to apply for a job? Or for your website? Some days ago a friend of mine called me with an issue that sent me on a quite interesting time travel. She is writing a book about single moms – and wanted to interview me about my personal story. In order to not get confused about my dates and how long which chapter in my life lasted – I decided to write a short biography – with one difference: it was the first time ever I was not trying to impress anyone! I did it only for myself!

So my focus of writing changed completely and the insight was awesome!

I had to rewrite it three times. But then it became clearer and clearer for me: I was able to see the situations and circumstances which changed my life and its direction and my growing consciousness! And as you surely know, they say there´s a 7 year rhythm in each ones life for transformation and changes… …to be honest – I did not really believe this. But now I had it directly in front of my eyes – and it´s true! As I´m right now in the middle of my „sixth chapter“ – I look very much forward to the upcoming ones!

Even more when I find inspiration in other peoples way of leading their life!

One great example is this exceptional lady:What a relief and joy to find inspiring women like her out there in the world wide net. Yes, they really exist – so there´s hope :) They´re intelligent, cool, in peace with themselves and found their own independent way of living a fulfilled life:

I accidentally virtually stumbled over this lovely lady from New York and was fascinated at once. Even more when I started to read her smart comments. She writes a blog about fashion on her website http://www.accidentalicon.com. Her articles are all related to style. Her view about how to wear grey or how she became unexpectedly a fashion icon at the NY fashion week are witty, well observed and really worthwhile reading!

What she says about herself:

She does not consume garments, she lives her life in them and dresses honestly. She has original style without being eccentric. She chooses garments and experiences that allow her to be the self she is and the self that is always becoming.

Hats off: What an inspiring woman and a great role model, too!

BTW: Why not give it a try? Make yourself a gift and write your biography only for yourself! Promise, you`ll be amazed!

Mr. Right and Mrs. Perfect!

Mr. Right and Mrs. Perfect!

Mrs. Perfect lives near my place and I don´t know her personally.

Sometimes she passes me by on her bike with her children (she has four!) and she always keeps herself in this graceful upright position. She´s blond, very pretty and her clothes look always neat, clean and crisply pressed.A few days ago a friend of mine told me about that other lady in her gym, who she just calls „the perfect woman“.

And I knew at once: her „perfect woman“ is my Mrs. Perfect!

My friend additionally informed me about her perfect body and her flawless skin. Mrs. Perfect also seemes to live in happy marriage, be calm and patient with her children and enjoys cooking for 40 people!So we were sitting in awe, wondering, how can that be – how can she be so perfect? And why are we not!We actually considered being jealous…BTW, if you happen to be a man – I am sure you have a male counterpart to envy, don´t you?Because, how can you not be jealous in our world full of ideals and expectations?Somebody once gave me a helpful advice:Jealousy is just the universe asking you: Do you like what he or she´s got? Do you also want that?And if you say yes, I dooooo!!! Then take action and wish for it! Because there is enough abundance for each one of us – so if you want it, you can get it!

And here´s who I really envy (apart from Mrs. Perfect):

I´m jealous of the work of fabulous Erin M Riley!

This girl from Brooklyn New York is weaving the most extravagant tapestries!

Her motifs are amazing: she has done a series about her view of our nude selfie culture, or e.g. police investigation pictures… how edgy is that!

Erin is weaving in a traditional way and even dyes the wool herself.Apart from her amazing motifs I just love to get lost in those woolen pictures, to follow the woven threads and the changing gradient of colours.These kind of textile extravaganca always excites me and makes my heart pound.

All pictures by http://erinmriley.comThank you Erin! I´m jealous and praying for striking inspiration – to create something amazing like that!!I even consider learning to weave now….;)
