• Oh, January

    January is a hard to deal with month for me. I might also face a couple of intimidating thoughts right at this time and blaming the one month that usually motivates people to eat healthier, smoke less and work out more. Oh, well. Training Log I am not sure if I have announced it on…

  • India

    I have been writing so much for work that my private headlines are not really the most creative. But this one sums it up pretty well. Pouya, me, India. Naturally, the minute I told my body I am going on vacation it went into sick-mode, not only do I have  cold, but also a nasty…

  • The German World – through His Eyes

    Be careful what you wish for: When Pouya and I decided to relocate to Germany we were telling our friends that it would be an adventure. It’s surely been adventurous, but maybe not the adventure that we had associated. Schorle! The first word he perfected was “Schorle”, that is the German’s drink of choice: Juice…

    07-17: A month to remember

    Kassel – Aalen – Boston – Lake Placid – New York: Triathlons, Cardboard Boxes, Saying “See You later” and a very powerful question that I answered with a yes (well, honestly, it was “Oh my god!” Pause “Yes!”)

  • Why I don’t want stuff – Project 333

    Why I don’t want stuff – Project 333

    33 items of clothing for 30 days, can you do that? I just unconsciously lived a minimalist lifestyle, and you know what I missed: Nothing! With a big move from Boston to Germany looming, there are a lot of thoughts about leaving stuff crossing my mind: my big plants, that one nailpolish that perfectly fits…

    Let me be honest: I love my job, but I am struggling! 

    I guess they call this culture shock It has not been four weeks since I landed in Frankfurt. Usually there is a period of enthusiasm, then the most threaded valley of tears, and then you cope. While my period of enthusiasm for my new role at Zeiss, content planning and analysis for digital corporate communications…

  • Ten Days to do nothing, yet see everything

    The idea: waking up feeling relaxed, starting the day with a good breakfast, and then jumping right into my “projects I’ll do when I have time”.  The Reality: woke up the first three days at 6, dead-set on having overslept &being late for work. Then realizing that me leaving my job coincided with me buying…

    Dealing with life challenges: Cancelling all workouts, munching on potato chips with Peanut Butter, sleep-deprived. And guess what: that is also ok.
