My year 2022 started enthusiastically. Pure adventure lust! There were opportunities to grow. Personally and with my new business, with which I would like to start fully. But first I had to see that it takes a lot of preparation to build an online business. I learned so much. I love learning! Unfortunately, this was lost because I had completely misjudged! Nevertheless, I stayed with it. Giving up is not an option for me! I am too a fighting nature for that.
The first part of the year started really great and the last part of the year brought me together with people
who enrich me in every respect!
My adventure gene also got his money's worth: Madrid, Sicily, Africa Festival, Kizomba Dancing, Morocco, Music Festival, desert days and time with friends and family.
For me, the year 2022 is, retrospectively, a year of self -finding, friendship, family time, learning, learning, growth and surprisingly at the end: lovens!
My review of my own goals 2022
With pleasure in a new adventure , a new learning field, something that I had liked for a long time: Write.
In January 2022 my blog adventure began at Judith Peters Alla Sympatexter .
Even if I have not produced so many blog posts (17 posts in total) in my first year as a blogger, the proposed topics helped me to get clarity about how I would continue without my theater life and what I would like to create for a new business.
In my annual motto 2022 I wrote:
So I take my place and keep my focus!
These were the topics that I am concerned with and to whose tasks I would like to grow:
- Build online business
- Coaching
- Remove retreats, with women's topics
- Design desert retreats
Did I implement everything I wanted to achieve?
- NO!
I still haven't launched online business! - It did not fail because of ideas, but because of my mutual choice of topics and considering how I can combine all my knowledge and could offer added value for women in combination.
What I have achieved, however, 2022:
- My desert retreat for March 2023 is sold out!
The last two years it had to be canceled and even though I was sometimes sad, I knew that I only needed patience. The call of the desert is strong. When you hear a call so strongly, you know that it comes to realization at the right time, just a time that is intended for it. And now the time has come! In 2023 there is finally the desert trip with women . And twice.
- I organized a women's retreat
in the Ore Mountains and with 4 women.
Here I could feel and see how the power of dance in femininity , with the topics of self -worth, self -love, self -love and the connecting strength among women, is exactly what I want to continue to offer because the joy of women and their steps that followed me afterwards and make me very fulfilled. My personal experiences and coping with my topics made me the woman today that I am: a heart opener, motivator, energetic, consultant, healer and passionate, expressive artist, who touches people with her sensitivity and encourages them to go their way and take her by the hand and in the arms.
Adventure lust, massages, yoga and corona
I am in Germany in January and February Back from Sicily after 6 months of living and working by the sea.
First in my home in southern Germany, where I meet my son and my friends. I enjoy the rich exchange, meal together, fun and discussions and this cozy feeling of home in the cold. I find that when I live mainly in the south with a lot of sun, I think the gray, cold weather is great here.
In February I drive to the Ore Mountains because I teach yoga in the hotel and give massages.
There I meet family again. We work, live and study in different places worldwide.
My two nephews are currently studying in Madrid.
Heard. Happy. Booked! I fly to Madrid in March. I mostly follow my impulses enthusiastically and spontaneously
because I know, later the voice appears in me, which asks me quietly:
does that have to be now? Yes, must be! An adventurous life wants to be experienced in its abundance. And I want to go to Madrid!
But first, exactly on February 16, from now on I will get shaking frost from now on and then lie in bed with Corona for 8 days.
At the hotel. With good care and meals, I put myself up again.
Madrid and Kizomba: Life taste!
In March I fly to Madrid and I am intensively busy learning and learning more about this couple dance from Africa, Kizomba .
"Kizomba is also referred to as" inner dance art ", whereby a so -called energy flow arises between the partners, which, however, cannot be seen externally. In order to be able to imagine this better, this dance is also happy to be compared with the Tango Argentino, whereby the positions and the attitude can be completely transferred to the kizomba dance. “ Lisa
hall . For me it is pretty new. I have already learned salsa and tango, but not yet. I have landed in the
coolest hotel in Madrid
Live .
Nightlife, which offers a colorful mix of reggae, hip-hop, rock, flamenco, salsa, kizomba and belly dance.
When I walk through the streets of a strange city, I feel permeated by glowing presence.
On the way to the old tobacco factory, I walk past a playground.
There are Muslim women in the corner with colorful headscarves and morning coats. They stand together with their children.
Men sit much further away. Black men. I stop. One of the men turned his cell phone full of music.
There is this kizomba rhythm again. I would like to dance away immediately. But of course I go on. Too bad!
You could be much cheeky and brave for the non -recurring, special moments of life.
Garage goals are sprayed with graffiti . I am looking for the famous graffiti works of art on the streets. Unfortunately, it cannot find it. I don't have a travel guide with me. Everything suddenly becomes Arabic. I love that. I always have an attraction in this world. That's why I also go to a small fruit shop and buy there to hear and breathe the language and smells of the oriental world. I love Kulti-Multi societies. That's why I liked to live in New York.
Shopping: I buy something colored for spring. Get time! I wore black for too long.
But now I want to wear colors and my new liveliness wants to expand, it wants to taste life !
Madrid. Madrid! Madrid ... I'm so happy to be here!
There were other times in my life. Times when I ran through streets with a hanging head
could only perceive the stories in my head. Life and joie de vivre meandered past me.
I had lost the connection to me.
There was no more euphoria, no enthusiasm, all of the living people had been lost.
The head can be a prison.
But I ended up in my heart.
And with open arms I receive life
with all its possibilities and adventures.
I'm back in my powerful energy!
Dancing, meeting friends and African culture in Sicily
In May , after the meeting in Stuttgart with the content society blogger group and Judith Peters, I fly back to Sicily.
I have been living here at least 6 months a year since 2020. I am picked up by my girlfriend Mirella in Palermo and we go directly to St. Agata to an Africa festival, where we spend 3 intensive days with African dances. I fall in love with this nice, lively dance Semba.
There are many from Switzerland. We Europeans "need" African culture for our heart energy! She shows us how life can go:
so much laugh, so much fun, so much lightness and joie de vivre, most Africans have ahead of us.
Back in Cefalù I look forward to my girlfriend who comes from Germany and we nourish our thirty -year friendship gang by spending time together. Spontaneously there is another girlfriend for a few days and I think that it is actually no longer so important to live in Germany to meet. When other friends come to Sicily, I host a small party.
My Tunisian friends here on Sicily cook a very tasty fish couscous and we all enjoy each other with dancing, eating, talking and drumming.
La Dolce Vita!
When everyone leaves, I continue with my massage treatments and yoga lessons.
Woman on the edge of the nervous breakdown
This heading is inspired by the film by Pedro Almodóvar: "Women on the edge of the nervous breakdown ". Because in the end of this summer 2022 I felt like this and had completely lost all the joy of learning. On the edge of the nervous breakdown , I have been to my limits to my limits.
First of all, I am highly motivated and bring my new life swing: I want to create an online course, understand everything about the online business, so that after a 3-day-for-free workshop, I follow the 10-week course launch & sell at Sigrun Buche.
I had completely misjudged! The next three months were just terrible!
All participants had already participated in the important pre-course Kickstart course.
This preparatory course is actually a prerequisite for the Launch & Sell course.
I don't know where I hadn't listened properly, at least these many technical requirements brought me to the edge of a nervous breakdown.
Every Monday in the morning I opened my laptop and looked at the tasks.
I howled, swell, was once angry, sometimes disillusioned, wanted to throw everything down and ultimately bit me through. Each of us also had a "buddy" with which you could exchange ideas ... .. if you could. My buddy had already done the pre-course at Sigrun and even two other courses with her, but even she got out halfway because the requirements at this pace led her to a burnout! So now I no longer had a buddy. But, this community was great! They always helped when you asked questions and so it was definitely very positive!
Although I really liked the business lady in red and her team was mega, this course was much to be overloaded !!
Nevertheless, I stayed tuned to the end after I got
virtual assistant I managed to hold my 3-day online course and got Corona that night. I was flat.
When everyone met online again (in the red dress) to celebrate their success, I was also there.
Of course I also had something to celebrate: my courage and deeper understanding of online business.
When only a few of the many participants shared their successes and non-successes, I was quite surprised! There were few women who had successfully sold something. I wasn't the exception! And although many have had so much experience.
My conclusion:
- In order to stay on something, it is better to take small steps a day or to manage minor tasks than too much in a short time. With this extremely fast pace of this course, I unfortunately completely lost the desire for learning.
- And: I haven't written a single blog post since then and have also lost the lust there!
- Do I really have to do everything myself? After this course I say: No, I don't have to! I can also hand in something!
- The course was like a school course for me, the structure of which I would not completely imitate. It also takes individuality for everything and the use of your own intuition.
Positive and what I had learned anyway:
- To go out of my comfort zone by doing a lot myself.
- I created and held a great 3-day online course!
- Now have a charming, very young virtual assistant.
- I now know how to create a customer profile and who could be my customers
- I am more present at social media and can now even turn Reels. Not exactly the most important thing, but it is fun and actually brings reach.
- Newsletter, campaigns.
- A good community on the net is worth gold and I like it very much!
I don't want to miss this exchange anymore! - I have now understood that the year 2022 served for me to prepare. I am sure it will bear its fruits at the right time.
Desert music festival and football fever in Morocco
The end of the summer is approaching quickly and I fly back to Germany in October to pack my suitcase for the desert music festival Taragalte in M´hamid El Ghizlane in Südmarocko. The last time I was at this traditional festival in November 2018. Finally, you can get back to Morocco again and without doing a PCR test.
For a long time it looked as if we, my girlfriend and I don't get a flight to Morocco for the festival. I was already giving up when there was the opportunity to fly over Agadir. Then it would only be 7 hours by taxi through the desert moon landscape from Agadir to M´hamid.
But as so often this year, it turned out differently! We flew from Karlsruhe and had to wait 10 hours at the airport because of a technical problem on the plane. When we arrive at midnight in Agadir at midnight, our driver is still waiting for us at the exit. It will be a long journey because our driver also has to sleep from time to time. So we are traveling for 12 hours until we finally arrive at Omar. The heart of M´hamid.
The three -day music festival begins the next day. We are driven into the desert by the small town with jeeps, which only takes 20 minutes.
And to pick up, we just have to call Omar. What service! The Queens Arrived!
The program is wonderful again! My heart beats higher when I listen to this music from Mali, dance on it and spend it between the dunes.
My favorite band is not there this time, but the famous front figure, the guitarist Abdallah AG Alhousseini from the famous Tinariwen from Mali.
The festival goes for a total of 3 days. Here, local tea, food, towels, handicrafts, etc. There are also workshops on how to link a carpet, for example,
it is the first festival that takes place again after two years of absence (corona -related). It is much smaller this time and it has lost none of its uniqueness and beauty.
The Gnawa musicians belong to the festival as well as the many bands, whereby many are based on the musical influence of Tinariwen, whose founder Ibrahim AG Alhabib, accompany their music with the electric guitar. The electric guitar as a sign of the revolution. Her music was linked to the matter - the struggle of Tuareg for education, independence and political freedom. They are rebels that fight for their freedom in the conflict -rich state of Mali.
Tinariwen's songs are about hope, struggle and exile in settlements and storage throughout the Sahara.
A month later I fly to Marrakech again and spend 10 days with Moroccan friends there.
How nice, I am in Morocco during the World Cup. We look in the game in a restaurant. I am the only woman who looks at the game against France. Right from the start, a goal of the opposite side falls and the screen is just at this moment. Wingfully, nobody gets upset loudly. In Germany that would probably not have expired without scolding. The Moroccans keep the calm. A talent that you carry naturally: The things that are not to be changed simply to accept. The football game goes out in favor of the French. When the decisive goal was scored, my two acquaintances suddenly get up. What now, I ask? We go is the answer. There is no longer any interest to look at this game until the end.
I will be back in southern Germany in good time to celebrate Christmas with my son and friends.
The year 2022 was very exciting and also very varied! The time, the rest!
I'm looking forward to 2023!
My first desert trip in March is fully booked and I prepare more trips to Morocco.
In February it goes to ice swimming and then I teach two women's retreats in the Ore Mountains.
I haven't thought about my annual motto. I am definitely very well recovered and I look forward to life
with his unforeseen surprises.
Dancer, Teacher, Healer, Bodyworker
Dear Nora Curcio, that reads very interesting, honestly critically about the task that was given to you and which you then tackled in your species. And yes, your temperament and passion can really be read between the lines!
Dust oh yes, she also captivated me, the wind, the vastness and this incredibly "loud" silence, which leads you to itself. Like the forest and the dance. Thanks for the encounter ❤️
