All began with a diary next to my pillow in the hilly swiss countryside. When a friend remarked ‘you should write a book, because many would be inspired by your life’s transformation’, and a writer’s workshop was offered online by Hayhouse, I thought: Why not serve my friends with my story?.
“As a small child, I was a sentient being. Being told I was overly
sensitive—not to feel what I was feeling—hurt me to the core. By
the age of thirty-eight, I had two little daughters, and I was totally
exhausted.
I was constantly looking for wisdom. I sought it in my training
as an attorney; my tireless diligence, effort, and perfectionism; sessions
on management skills and personal development; my practice of
traditional Chinese medicine; energetic work; coaching; and daily
meditation. But every morning, I woke up to live unconsciously
again and again.
I truly was ready to invest myself entirely into my own growth,
but still there was a gap. I felt invisible and not appreciated by my
partners or my job. I felt alone with or without a partner, and no
partner I had was engaging in building a common life.“
