I started my journey as human in the night of the 14th of
december in 1971 in a small city in the eastern part of Germany, at
that time a socialistic country called "German Democratic
Republic" (short G.D.R.). I had a fulfilled and so to speak
"happy" childhood and my parents introduced me to a lot of different
activities and hobbies and i enjoyed doing. I was always a very
creative person and wanted to do and have things my very own way...
however, i was and i am able to adjust to any situation if needed.
For example as teenager i was designing and sewing some
clothes with th ehelp of my mum. I loved to draw, paint, designed
my own letter paper and envelopes for sending to my penfriends and
much more...
I was a very shy and closed child and when i was
a teenager i started to open up. It was my believe at that time that
nobody likes me and that what i have to say is not important. And
because of that believe i was behaving in a way to convince myself
that this belief is real and i did not have any real good friend nor
a boyfriend and i did not like this situation. At that time i did
not even know that i could change that, i believed that it is the
way it is. Any kind of "Selfhelp" books were unknown at that
time in the G.D.R.
In G.D.R. it was usual to go 10
years to school and then to do an apprenticeship for 2 or 3 years
and after that to work in that profession until you can get
pension... So i had to decide what profession i would like to
learn... and the only thing that feels right for me because i would
enjoy doing it, was to work at the post-office which was just some
minutes to walk to and because i was so much in love with penpalling
at that time i just wanted to do something with letters... and so i
did that and was working at the post-office later on, even on the
counter where i had to talk with people and i was afraid of
that in the beginning but i was willing to give it a try
and after i did it the fear disappeared.
While i was
doing my apprenticeship, on the 9th of November 1989 they
opened the borders in Berlin and later teared down the Berlin Wall
and i got to know about selfhelp books and bought some because
i wanted to change my shy behaviour and i had the vision
that everybody likes me and enjoy being around me and that i
have a boyfriend and that there are always men who would like me as
partner :)
And as i look back this vision came true and
is still valid.
After the 2 years of apprenticeship i
continued to work there at the main post office in my past hometown
but then they often sent me to other post-offices around to
replace somebody which i enjoyed as well.
However, the idea
that i would work there for the next 40 years felt wrong and not
valid for me, and i had a vision to live and work in "West Germany"
where years ago i suspected to be the Paradise because it seemed
that people can buy everything they desire which was not
possible in the G.D.R. until East and West Germany was unified on
3rd of October 1990.
Well, in G.D.R. we were very
limited. Many things were not possible to do, for example we could
only travel in other socialistic countries and i remember that when
i was a teeny i always wanted to be invisible and to cross the
boarders and go and get whatever i wish to. Another thing was
that we only got imported fruits like bananas, oranges and peaches
in very limited amounts like 5 pieces per buyer...and you could not
just go in a shop and buy them because they only came now and then.
You needed to know somebody who tells you and probably keep it for
you or if you walked through town and saw a queue/line somewhere you
did know that there is something "special" and rare to get and you
had to hurry to go in the line as well if you wanted to get it as
well :) But that was not with fruits alone, it was with other
things as well, like clothes and so on... And to get a car you
had to wait for 10 - 20 years and it were only the cars made in
G.D.R. or other socialistic countries around like Trabant,
Wartburg...Skoda.
However, besides these "limitations" there
were some so called "positive" things as well:
There was no
unemployment, everybody had a work, although some people did
not really had to do something at that work place but they got paid
althrough.. The rent and food for daily life was very cheap and
you always had enough to eat and never had to worry about how to pay
the rent and about where the money will come from. But you had to
save money for something that was very expensive like a new TV
or radio recorder or something like that...
Well,
after opening the boarders i visited West Berlin together with my brother
who is living in East Berlin in 1989 and in 1990 we visited my aunt
and uncle near Munich and spent some hours in Munich as well... it
was an exciting time !
A surprise i got in January 1991 when
they asked us at the post-office if we would like to work in West
Germany for 1 year, firstly 3 months probation to see if we like it
and then we could stay for the year or maybe longer... of
course that was my chance to leave my kinda boring hometown in May
1991 and started my exciting life in Munich. Immedately i felt
familiar with this amazing city and never thought of going back,
only for a short visit.
Firstly i lived in a boarding home
owned by the Post-Office right in the city center and started to
explore more and more of all the new stuff which was available now,
especially things which helped me grow on a personal level and to
explore everything mysterious i felt attracted all my life already
and i continued there now as i saw how much infos there are
accessible... In 1992 i learnt about Reiki and did the 1st
and the 2nd grade and i was reading a lot of different personal
growth material and about that our reality is only an illusion and
that we create it every moment and so on... it was all very
interesting what i explored in that time between 1992 and 1999 and i
myself was changing all the time after applying the new knowledge
but i felt that there were still missing some pieces because it did
not work for me the way i expected it to do... in the meantime i
went through some more or less challenging experiences in my love
life and work life and i almost stopped my search for spiritual
growth since i was busy with working at this time...
Then i did not wanted to have any
relationship anymore and i spent my most exciting holidays ever
in summer 1999 where i was invited to meet my 2 female penfriends
from two caribbean island called St. Vincent and
St. Lucia. It may appear "dangerous" to go as an
attractive young woman there alone but i was not afraid at any
time, i felt that there is "a higher power" there to
protect me and keep danger away from
me... However, there was a magical attraction to
one of the brothers of my friend which i did not like at all in the
beginning... i did not think of a relationship at
that time... and i was afraid to fall in love with him because
i had to leave in 3 days and i told him that when we
were talking about our feelings but then i decided that i
will take the risk, if it is an affair only it will be okay for me
as well... so we spent an amazing time together and we wanted to
stay in contact via email, messenger and telephone... because there
was something i never felt before for him and he seemed to feel
the same for me... and after i left we did speak almost daily
on the phone and messenger although my english was very poor at that
time (i improved it because of him and because i love foreign
languages)... it was an intense time of sharing our inner feelings,
wishes and desires and we were separated by physical distance but we
were feeling close all the time and it took some years until he
stayed in Germany for good and i believe all these issues brought us
even closer together and for me that was/is like a proof that we are
supposed to be together... although there are some challenges now
and then and especially the last years now in mid of 2007, it is
getting so called "better and better" again...
... and the funny thing is that i had a
vision/dream some months before it happened that i will meet
somebody i will fall in love with and we will have only some days
before i have to leave and we will write emails and call eachother
:)
In January 2004 our twin boys were
born and i recognized now that i put my biggest limiting beliefs about having
kids. As a result of that i created my life very limited the
last years and as i was not able to go to work to earn some
money (as i still believed at that time that money comes from a job
instead that it can come from God through a job or at any other
miraculious ways) we faced more and more financial issues and i
got more and more frustrated about my/our situation. Now i know
that it was my commitment to spend the first 3 years home with the
kids that caused that because i was not able to find somebody who
could take care of them for at least some hours and only when they
were over 3 years i could work for some hours and my husband could
take care if them... isn`t that funny what power a commitment
has?!
Now as i look back i
recognized that without all the challenges i faced during my
time at home with the kids and with my husband and with myself,
without all the limitations i experienced, i had mostlikely not
continued my journey the way i did it because of having these
experiences... i would not be where i am right now... these
circumstances are the reason why i am where i am now because i had
to stretch myself and do something about my situation because
nothing was working anymore...
