    Blog 8: Love Fengshui Tip: Make Space for What you really Want

    Germen Version As the new year begins we all have new hopes and dreams. With regard to love many of my single friends are eager to meet their future partner while the other friends wish for better and more harmonic relationships with their partner and friends. Above all I believe that we all want positive changes and nice things happen in our lives. However, have you thought about whether you are really prepared for the positive changes in life to occur? You might have a nice fresh image with a new haircut and trendy clothes. But have you made space for what you really want, no matter if it is…

    Blog 7: Happy New Year – Live Like a Tumbler

    Blog 5: Dog Pissing Love – a Story about Chinese Tattoos

    German Version I have been living in two cultures for many years. It’s interesting to see the effect when people choose words or symbols from another culture without knowing what they really mean. For example in China it is very trendy to wear T-shirts with English words or slogans.
