Finding my own path
Creativity and artistic expression have always been an important part of my life.
I am inspired by creativity that encompasses all of life. People who embrace their uniqueness and are not only following by pre-designed patterns.
As a sensitive creative person I always felt the need to go inside and to live a life in the outside that is in harmony with my inner being.
I felt that I had to find my own path in life but that wasn´t always easy...
My life changed in 2012 after waking up with a panic attack. I didn´t know what was going on until I realized that a time of reflection and healing had begun, a kind of transformation in which my creativity and understanding of myself and the world also changed and deepened.
I was longing to live a life closer to nature, a life where I can be who I am and that is align with my values. I became aware that most people today are moving away from themselves and that as soon as we connect with ourselves, we swim against the current.
More and more people feel that it is not fulfilling to only follow external goals and tasks and want to live more of themselves and their own expression. There is a silent revolution going on that is about living in harmony with oneself, recognizing and accepting one's own strength and creativity and acting as a shaping part of the world.
A journey from fear to love
When I look back everything that happend on my healing journey was better than I could have ever imagined. I thought I knew who I was and what I need but in reality I knew very little...
More and more I felt that there is a love that knows exactly what plant I am and which corner and soil I need to grow and that is helping me to live a life that is in harmony with my heart. In 2014 I got in contact with "Soft Breathing" that helped me so much in releasing pain and old trauma and that became a very important element of my life.
My talents and creative dreams that very often were "too much" and had little space to flurish more and more started to flow into every corner of my life. I allowed myself to play more and spending more time in nature and a daily rhythm helped me to relax into dreaming and spinning ideas.
Writing, painting, music ... Creative expression helps me to learn, to grow and to connect with myself. Creative play is much more important than it has often been communicated to us. It helps us to become happier, healthier and more peaceful people. When we live our creativity, we do not only do something good for us, but for the whole world!
What else can be said about me...
When I was a kid, I was often called "mouse" or "beetle"
I grew up on the edge of a small town in Austria/Styria. A valley
surrounded by beautiful mountains.
I love children's drawings, intuitive doodling (expression drawing) and art nouveau
(Picture right below: Gustav Klimt - mother with child)
I like to embrace trees and I regularly connect with the earth
In nature, I often find inspiration for my artistic work
I love everything that is handmade and selfmade
I like cats and sometimes I can be like a cat :)
I am an oldies and vintage fan
I like to watch flying birds
I love the sound of swallows in summer and the singing of birds of all kinds
I love to dance and to be in the flow of life
I know that we are all creative and that we all contribute to a better world when we live our creativity
I love Jesus and I feel called to let my light shine
