How I knew it was time for a big new beginning

It all started in the summer of 2012.

All of a sudden - or maybe not really suddenly - I felt disconnected.

Two years ago I was 38, joyfully married, no kids, no pets, no plants. Well paid. Nice car. A company director on business trip most of the week for the last 20 years. I was in deep confusion. Not yet desperate. Just truly confused. You know what I mean, right?

During meetings I caught myself admiring a tree or a bird. When colleagues talked, the voice of their belly was so loud that I could not hear their words. What their bellies were telling me, made me wish to have magic powers to save everybody and everything.

My attention shifted from "getting a profitable result" to "connecting the dots of the heart". I told myself: 'This is not me! This can't work! Wake up and get back to real data.'

Two years later, I am still married to the same man, still no kids, one beautiful female English setter adopted, one big garden and a plan to have three hen.

I still catch myself admiring trees and birds, especially the birds of the cuckoo clocks we now sell online. Improving my private life and starting up a business together with my youngest sister has taught me and is still teaching me higher levels of discipline and a deeper sense of meaningfulness.
