Summer in Germany! The water is warm and leaving the beach behind me, the ocean gets clearer and calmer. There is almost nobody out there, except some fishermen with their little boats. Swimming is the best for my hip. It is meditation and training in one. There´s one commitment that I made: No worries during swimming. Therefore whatever was a problem before, when I come out of the water it has gone.

Thank you for all the best wishes going back to work. Coming back to my team after three years is strange but very loving. For me during that period my life changed completely. At the hospital it seems like most of it hasn´t changed at all. Being back at the operating table gives me the feeling that I am back in the game. I love it!

Back at the Baltic Sea with pockets full of Aloha Spirit. Preparing myself for going back to work, staying in shape and working on interessting projects that will allow me to reach lots of people that got stuck in a situation where they deal with limitation and boundaries. We are made to move on. Sometimes it just needs some courage. That´s al!

Auf Wiedersehen to Maui – for the third time. I will come back that´s for sure. For me this is paradise. Stopping over in Austin Texas to meet a wonderful friend and super efficient business women. I love business and I feel like a sponge absorbing every detail of her qualities. Life is business and business is life.

This is home for me. You paddle, you see the wave behind you, you paddle faster, you wanna have the same speed as the wave, she picks you up and suddenly there´s ease. You´re in the flow. She is taking you with her, beautifully. Being one with the wave although she is really small but clear definetly puts me into bliss. My new hip loves that movement.

You can´t stop the wave but you can ride it!

Hanggliding over the eastern part of Maui. Hana is beautifully green and people there love to be on their own. The coastline is magnificent, rough and original. There have been lots of turbulences in the air and it is exciting when you just fall of the sky without having much material around you. But my experience with falling from the sky is: I`ve done it and I am over it, therefore we decided to come back to safely. What a flight.

Looking through my camera into the eyes of a big humpback whale, putting the camery beside and jumping into the deep blue pacific ocean with them, looking into the eyes of a mother with her baby. Powerful, that change of perspectives. Swimming with whales, huge and sensitive at the same time, made my heart growing big and open. What a wonderful experience. I feel very honored that I had the opportunity for such a connection. Nature is spirit.

Almost seven months have passed and I am standing on a surfboard. What a physical inspiration feeling my feet touching the board, trying to stand up and flowing with the wave. I longed for that for a long time. I am back - on the water, in the surf. Aloha!

27th of February 2010
Arriving on Maui and leaving the tsunami under the water and behind me. Everything was prepared and shot down. Even the sewage was put into the ocean, as a protection to the land area. Well, it is not that fun to swim in stinky brown water.
Therefore we go to the south side of the island to enjoy clear water. In the deep water, a turtle crosses us. She seems to be very focused on her business. No pause, no right or left, just smoothly on her way. When she was gone a big manta ray approached us. Very curious about us, he came close, with his big opened mouth. I am happy to not see any big teeth. What an elegant animal: deep black back, white mouth and a long tail adressed like an antennae in different directions. I keep reminding myself - he just wants to play!
