Family trip to Turkey (Alanya, Antalya, Side)

For those who don't know, this is my second round in Turkey. The south of Turkey  is a beautiful area, with stunning beaches, delicious food and super friendly people.  Last time I visited was seven years ago and oh boy, has things changed (as I suspected). Huge hotels and western food chains and coffeeshops has …

What’s the bright side of online dating ( no, it’s not a trick question)?

What is the bright side of online dating? And no, this is not a trick question. Generally speaking, dating apps and websites seem to have a negative reputation (to different degrees) which is a shame and it’s time we turn this around! Digital dating has positive sides and I feel it’s my duty to highlight …

Stillness/stuckness in life – a golden invitation

I think most can recognize those periods in life where everything seems static. The stagnation I'm referring to is not only restricted to one or a few areas of life, but overall. I’m talking, null developments or forward movements in any regard. Even  attempts to get the ball rolling during this phase might backfire or …

A friendly reminder to all singles: Your life is not vegan cheese! (Happy Valentine’s day)

Since it’s Valentine's day, I thought I’d seize the opportunity and offer a friendly reminder to singles feeling extra triggered on this commercially hyped up day.

The abandonment wound (everyone has it)

Today I’d like to touch upon a topic I see in everyone: the abandonment wound.  Although it has a negative ring to it, the abandonment wound is  a fundamental element to the human experience.  The second a baby is born and officially a “separate” unit the abandonment wound appears. The experience of being disjointed from …

Haunted! When the ghost returns..

Ghosting, ghosting, ghosting, there's lots to say about it. In fact, I’ve written two separate posts on the topic: when ghosting occurs in a romantic context and in friendship. There's a term following the vanishing act which I’m positive will soon be part of the English vocabulary and that is: haunted. To be haunted is shortly, …

Losing your mind: a sign you’re on the right track..

I’m an advocate for losing one’s mind. I’m sure most are familiar with the expression which  has a  negative ring to it with a bit of “crazy”. On one end of the scale it could imply someone acting out of character or drastic and at the opposite end, acting erratic, losing touch with reality or …

Are you able to call out your memory’s bluff?

The mind is fascinating isn’t it? Composed of countless processes and functions all designed for our survival. A massive role of the mind is cognitive memory.  Everything happening is registered and accessible in the memory storage room to be retrieved when needed. It all begins when we are young and told or taught about the …

Is life complete or incomplete? Clues revealing where you truly stand

Disclaimer! This is a message I’ve heard a billion times (and I'm sure you have too) but it wasn't until recently it hit me over the head and sunk in. So why not share my experience and take on it? However, I know the mind sneakily alters information and runs with it for its own …
