Building Confidence by Moving Beyond Comfort Zones
In today’s video I’m sharing some thoughts about releasing the fear of being rejected by simply acting upon my inspiration and doing what I feel guided to do no matter how scared I am. Towards the end of the video I also talk about how my life and my relationships have changed since I set the intention to connect with beautiful people who truly understand and love me the way I am.

Sharing thoughts about my journey in my latest video on YouTube:
The Secrets of Being in the Flow
Whenever you feel inspired to do something, just do it. That’s a sentence that has been on my mind for a few days. I’ve been trying to figure out the secrets of being in the flow since last year. I always knew that had a lot to do with being in the present moment. Many of us have heard this many times, and it does make a lot of sense, doesn’t it? Then again, it’s so difficult sometimes. We want to be in the flow and let synchronicity guide us, but then we end up waiting for something to happen, and when we wait, we aren’t really in the present moment (when we wait, we project our happiness into the future). Or we become frustrated when the magickal moment of “just do it” passes before we get the chance to take action (which is the same as holding on to something that came into our awareness in the past).
The Mysteries of Time
It’s been a while since my last entry. As many of you know, I spent three weeks with my dear friend Thomas in Sweden. I didn’t have any WiFi, so I wasn’t able to spend much time online. But it was exactly what I needed. And what many of need from time to time. Time to disconnect from all the distractions that keep us so busy in our daily lives. Time to connect more intimately with ourselves and those we love.
Healing
A lot has happened since I posted my last entry. I’m having a great time here in Brighton, but as so many of you, I’m also going through a profound healing process. Yes, it has been intense. I feel like I’m riding an emotional rollercoaster. Totally miserable when I wake up in the morning, happy and excited an hour later.
One thing I’m learning right now is to be happy in the present moment instead of living in the past or the future. It’s great to have dreams, but I also realize that holding on to them too much can create a constant feeling of lack. And if we focus on lack, that’s what we will experience more of.
Unexpected Beauty
Last night I was sitting in my room, feeling a bit tired, but thinking it might be good for me to get some fresh air and go for another walk on the beach. I’m glad I did. What I found was amazing. Something I had never seen before, even though I had gone for walks on this beach many times. I realized that I had never seen Brighton beach at low tide. All of a sudden everything looked so different and so beautiful. I had always believed that there were only pebbles on this beach, but now there was actually sand. The water was reflecting the sunset colors in the most magnificent ways. Last, but not least, walking and running along the beach was an entirely new experience.
Ready for the Unthinkable
When I first started planning my trip about two months ago, I did exactly that: make plans. I’ve been traveling for a bit more than a week now, and so many unexpected things have already happened. I’ve had to change my plans more than once, and it was always scary to let go of my original intentions and be open to something even better. But whenever I surrendered and just let the perfect solution come to me, a miracle was right around the corner.
Raw Magick
One of the things I love about Brighton. Magick is always just around the corner. Perfect excuse to eat chocolate. Raw, vegan, organic, no added sugar, magickal ingredients that are supposed to be super healthy. It will be hard to say no next time I visit Infinity Foods.
Wisdom for My Nose
Found this at Infinity Foods yesterday. Perfect for my runny nose and busy mind. Promise to myself: Next time I’m cold at night, I won’t be too lazy to get up and close the window.
Jumping Right into My Faerytale
Today is day 6 of my magickal adventure. My start here in the UK wasn’t exactly smooth. Just about everything I was afraid of has already happened. Including free WiFi that’s not working (feeling cut off from those I love, best way to make me panic, no kidding), mice in my hotel room (second best way to make me panic, it felt so right to book this room, so how on earth did I manifest that?), not being able to move into my perfect faerytale room because the hotel was closed and no one answered the phone (feeling locked out and not having a home, another perfect way to make me panic).
But guess what! I’m so grateful for all these experiences. My faith has been tested in many ways since my arrival in the UK, but in the end everything always works out so beautifully.
Flying High
Finally! Today is the beginning of my magickal adventure. Flying from Zürich to Gatwick. Ready for amazing miracles, happy surprises (and perhaps some challenges as well). Ready for the world!
Sunset
There is nothing painful about saying goodbye if we just open our eyes and allow ourselves to appreciate the beauty of each sunset. Knowing that the sun will rise again after a good night’s sleep.
Free in My Heart
Not knowing what will happen today, tomorrow, next week or even in a few months used to freak me out. Now it makes me feel so free. There’s so much time, so much space and so much energy to create what my heart truly desires. To enjoy every moment. There’s so much peace. This feeling of emptiness used to scare me. Not having anything to hold on to. Not knowing where my money will come from next month. As I relax and let go, I realize: I have everything I need in this very moment. I will always have everything I need. And so much more.
Facing the Shadows
Great changes bring great blessings, but they also have the potential to awaken great fears.
I’ve put myself into a situation that challenges me to face all the darkness that still keeps me from being my true authentic self. Everything that’s not love is coming to the surface. Ready to be released.
Did It!
After talking about it for almost half a year, I finally sent my letter of cancellation to my landlady today. The apartment I’ve lived in since July 2008 will not be mine for much longer. The official moving date is March 31st, but my goal is to leave before the end of February.
It took a lot of courage to take this step, but I’m so sure it was the right thing to do. Now that I can’t go back, I’m not afraid anymore. I’m immensely relieved and excited!
Ready for a Leap of Faith
Since coming back from Hawaii in June 2011, I’ve been dreaming of being completely free to travel. Actually, this dream began many years ago. But it never seemed realistic. Since last summer I’ve been seeing myself giving away my material belongings, moving out of my apartment, letting go of so many things I don’t really need to be happy. I’m almost ready. Ready for a leap of faith that will change my life.
