Isn’t it amazing how efficient we are and how much we get done before vacations?

The last working year was one of the most challenging since I have my own business as my personal situation changed radically: So much time spent abroad between places, resetting my life from scratch.

I started to let go of work situations with clients and jobs that did not satisfy me anymore and at the beginning there was nothing left but a vacuum and my passion for my profession. The positive changes came in slow-motion: Some interesting projects, new and completely different clients and challenging work. It took so much time and all my patience.

I let go of patterns and people that let me feeling drained, exhausted and unhappy. This costed me a lot of effort, because among them there was a person I loved fiercely.

I chose to concentrate and focus on me and my business and on being happy again, finding out what I was missing in my life, that – it seems to me – I lived merely like a robot.

I met with my sister on the other corner of the world and we did an amazing “experiment” together that changed our lives and brought us back to be the strong, smart, sexy and unconventional women we both are.

In the last month I translated approx. 150.000 words and therefore I want to denominate this working year as: “Patience Pays”, as I started to focus on my qualities, listen to my heart again and being courageous in daring to live my wonderful life fully.

I don’t know about you, but I hope that you were sailing in calmer waters!

I didn’t lose any of my enthusiasm, curiosity, ambition and hunger for life, knowledge, new experiences and people,  and will be back in one month, after taking this (well deserved) summer break to travel again!
