"Someday everything will make perfect sense. So, for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.” - Paulo Coelho / For today it's accounting i'm gonna laugh at ... but first some healthy snacks and a little meditation with the @headspace app for learning to listen to my body and my #innervoice #headspace #mindfulness #meditation #healthysnacks #flatlay #flatlaytoday
Today i'm starting a 1 sentence journal or diary as mentioned in the #happinessproject by @gretchenrubin - "One sentence?" i hear you say and you're right, on the first try i realized it's going to be two to three sentences a day, but no pressure. By calling it a 1 sentence journal i'll keep my expectations realistic. #today #startnow #lifeimprovement #change #life #mindest #goodvibes #happinessisastateofmind #mindfulness #onesentencejournal
It’s snowing. For like an hour.
Just one hour and the world is completely changed. Everything looks different. Everything is quieter, subdued.
If just i could change that fast. In a snap. How can anything change that fast? And why is it so difficult for me?
As mentioned, i’m more concerned with myself lately. I constantly keep asking myself what do i really want.
I postet four pictures last year. FOUR. I constantly worked. I produced storys and pictures and captured moments. But in the end all that was left was my little girl. Family.
Why do i do the thing i call work?
What’s with all the other pictures?
Do they mean anything to me?
Do they make my heart resonate?
Maybe here’s the difference in job and calling as Stefan Sagmeister mentioned in his TedTalk. A job is something you do for money. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A calling is intrinsically fulfilling.
And again i am at the point where i just need to find that one thing that keeps me going. That keeps my heart resonating and even sing. I’m sitting here in my makeshift home office contemplating.
The Snow, i’d like to think that, changes things with ease. On it’s own terms. It just can’t help doing so.
It aren’t the external circumstances that change life, but the inner changes that become noticeable in life. - Wilma Eudenbach
Now i have to find my inner voice. It’s calling. I can hear it, quietly but growing ever louder.
Be like snow.
Thats me… with hair ;) Just kidding. But i see myself in the look on her face. A bit disoriented, wondering, maybe confused. The last 36 years went by without any kind of self-reflection. And i was fine… at least i thought.
A few months ago my fiance @zuseeee startet reading „The curated closet“ by @anuschkarees . And what started as a way to a find her dream wardrobe let to so many changes in our life and triggered so many things in me.
Who am I? Who do i want to be? What kind father do i want to be? What kind of values do i want to impart?
When you start questioning your possessions, you start questioning your life. Do i really need that? Does it bring me joy?
For now i don’t have the answers to all the questions in my head. But i’m stumbling along, slowly shifting to a more minimalistic, sustainable and conscious life.
What i know for now is that i always said yes. At least in my professional career. Leaving myself out in the cold. No winter coat in sight.
My mother always told me that no matter what i want to do in my life it should bring me joy.
Yes photography brings me joy. But there are so many things in this industry that don’t.
I won’t got into much detail on that for now, because i haven’t had the time to connect the dots in my head for a clear picture yet.
But what i know is that in saying NO to some things you gain Focus. Focus on yourself. Unfortunately someone forgot the autofocus button, so you have to turn the rings and knobs yourself.
Writing helps. Looking out the window… wondering helps. Beeing open for everything that may come.

"We do not have to change anything about our children if we want to prepare them for a good future but something on us. We have gone astray from our natural path of parenthood, from the trust in us and our children." - currently reading "Geborgene Kindheit" by Susanne Miereau @geborgen_wachsen - What kind of person shall this little gem of a human beeing become in the years to come? What is my roll in this? At the moment i have lot's of time for my family which I absolutely enjoy. But in the busy times it's so tough being a good parent...

Long time no post ... and then a blurred black and white picture? YES YES and YES - from now on there are going to be more posts of our family life, my business and so on. No further thinking about what to post where and never posting anything at all! Life is no cohesive feed... it's weird , sad, funny and beautiful and everything back again. #glimpse #babygirl #toddler #blackandwhite #outoffocus #noneedforfocus #morningswithkids #curls #bangs #kidsportrait #instadaily #instaportrait #blackandwhiteportrait #whoneedsfocus #mood
