Yesterday and today I realized once more how happy I am and how thankful I am to be living the life that I am living. I am just happy with my life.

If I look at my work, I am just happy. I see how we can help people here with Yoga, Ayurveda, Meditation, Mantras and counseling. It is work that makes them calm and relax, helps them to come out of stress and tension and at the same time does not really exhaust or stress me.

Even if we don’t have workshops or private sessions, we have always lots of work to do online and at the computer and I am happy about that, too. We reply emails, we are in touch with people, we update our website to let more people know about it and we write this blog to let you all know what we are experiencing, what is going on in our lives and thoughts. And although we work very hard and many hours a day, I am not writing this to get pity from anyone. We love our work, we love to do all this and we additionally love what we are working for.

This is another thing that I love: the purpose of my work is to help those who come to me but also children in India. It has become the purpose of my life. We see how they grow with the years and it just makes us happy that they can learn at our school, eat at our Ashram and grow into a future that is bright because of education. Seeing these children and even thinking of them makes me happy, too.

Traveling all over the world is part of my work for these children. And obviously I love it. I always happily agree to go on new adventures, to go to places that I have never been to before and to meet new people. And lucky as we are, they are usually lovely and nice people, interested in positive thinking, spirituality, a healthy and beautiful life full of happiness and love.

These people often become our friends and so I find myself often staying with wonderful friends, who support us and our projects and most of all who love us. I am happy and just feel blessed to have so many wonderful friends all around the world. I am surrounded by people who love me and whom I love.

Two of these people, Ramona and Yashendu, are nearly always around me, 24 hours. At the Ashram there are even more, Purnendu, my parents and my grandmother. All people whom I love, all around me. The Ashram, the school, our employees, who are also like our family, and of course the children living there. This all contributes to the fact that I truly and happily love my life.
