If you’re not one of those superhuman can-do-it-all types or know one closely what follows won’t make sense to you. If you are/know one of those, chances are you find yourself relating to my story. The story of how the invincible Bettina finally found some peace in her restless heart. It all began by being […]
Big life decisions come surprisingly easy
17 years ago I hopped on a plane to Cape Town coming from Vienna, Austria, hoping to find a new home. Not only did I find it, I also made lots of lovely new friends and had my beloved son here too in 2004. I had no thoughts of returning to Austria at all. Until […]
Taking control of my personal economy saved me financially
Food for thought: “… that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg … ” “… need a job that pays the bills … ” Two sentiments often expressed in online forums in many different ways and forms. The issue is, if a business can’t charge enough to pay their workers well, they don’t get paid […]
My 7lbs in 7 days juice detox/fast experience
I have embarked on a radical journey to improved health. I firmly believe that if you truly take care of your body and live a healthy lifestyle it is the best insurance against any kind of dread disease, as they call it in the insurance industry. This year I am very conscious about all choices […]
A theatre director’s journey, choosing a play
It’s time to produce another theatrical show! I’ve decided after 5 years break to produce a full length play again. Many people don’t know what community theatre, or amateur theatre as it is also called, means and what goes on behind the scenes.

See it like it is. But not worse.
“See it like it is. But not worse.” Anthony Robbins Means, if it’s bad it’s bad, no point “positive thinking” it away, that’s not working. But it’s not bad forever, bad always me, bad only me, bad everybody else, etc. THAT would be making it worse. The well meaning “don’t worry, all will be fine” […]

Perhaps you’re asking yourself what is this all about and what do I mean by it, so here’s my introduction to […]
I’ve never been lonely again
About two years ago I attended my second Family Constellation Workshop with Helen and Claudio Celestino and wow, was that an experience. I had previously been to one of their workshops as a representative (click here for a brief overview of what this all is) and could feel the power of the work and experience. […]
Exploring the now and finding out more about your purpose
This time of the year is always a reflection time. We remember the almost finished year and wonder what the next one will bring, over all that wondering we forget to be in the now – the only moment that ever exists. I have found that part of why we don’t know what the future […]
