A year ago, I launched this blog as an idle outlet for my thoughts and ideas. As sprinkles of genuine attractiveness you will find cute photos of our dog Sherlock. It is a nod to the internet: puppies always sell!
One these pages, some content is in German and most in English. Despite all hiccups, I am happy to report, that it did indeed help me with my original plan: after a very long hiatus, I got back to writing and finished the draft to my second novel. And more importantly, my posts help me finding clarity in the many questions that arise in daily life. If any of you find anything useful on these pages, I would indeed be as happy as puppy!

On the other hand, I think back on the past three years and find that all things COVID are vague and distant, just like an exhausting dream from which I woke up feeling dazed but unconnected. Why? Collective Read more
