“The point is: no matter what you take on, insecurity is part of
\nthe job description.
\nIt’s not possible to blaze new trails and forge your own path
\nwhile remaining on familiar ground”<\/p>\n

Dear fellow readers,<\/p>\n
It has been a long while since i have posted the last issue of
\nthis newsletter. In fact, the last issue was posted in spring.<\/p>\n
Things have been quite unstable since 6 months, making my
\nlife a real mess. I am learning a lot about the nature of life.
\nchange + movement.<\/p>\n
Im into learning that even if we try to escape and avoid change,
\nwe will all have to face it somehow. We will all be given the chance
\nto experience it at some point in our lifes, so better getting used
\nto it now and always be ready to welcome the new in any possible way.<\/p>\n

* the new *<\/p>\n
Oh yeah, things have been moving a lot for me, and i can feel that
\nits the same for many souls around. What’s happening? i don’t know.
\nMaybe its the sun, maybe its the moon. The only thing i know is that
\npeople around me all seem to be asking themselves many questions
\nwith little answers coming in…
\nInsecurity, fear, doubt, courage, love and peace are words i hear often.<\/p>\n
Since last spring, my life changed much more than i could have expected.
\nIn june i left Hamburg and moved back to Montreal, where i am living
\nright now. Insecurity, confusion, change, adaptation and welcoming the
\nnew is mostly what my life has been about for the last 6 months, and still is.<\/p>\n
I didn’t expected that moving back to my home country after 4 years spent
\naway could be so demanding. I learned a great deal about adjusting myself
\nto all kind of situations, including finding myself unemployed and without a
\nplace which i could call home.<\/p>\n

\nto learn from them, and to welcome changes as they appear on the way.<\/p>\n
