Inspiration


Some of you may already have heard about Dr. Wayne Dyer. I just came across his very inspiring video “What’s your calling?” You don’t have to watch the whole video – it takes more than 2 hours – or you can watch it in parts as well.
Here is one quote from Rumi he uses:
“The morning breeze has secrets to tell you. Do not go back to sleep.”    - Rumi
It’s amazing when Wayne asks the audience who sometimes gets up at a certain hour early morning, many of them lifted their hands. Wayne’s time is 3.13 am. Very often I get up somewhere between 3 and 4 am. I don’t check the time usually. Mostly I go to the bathroom and lie down to go back to sleep. Sometimes I have trouble to go back to sleep. Wayne is saying how we often have very inspirational thoughts at this time and how we could use this time. Maybe I should start working on my blog during these early hours... but I worry about my day performance. 
Wayne tells some very touching stories and talks about the Law of Attraction. I found it truly inspiring and it probably was just the right thing I needed to hear right that moment. He talks in such a pleasant, positive, human, humorous way that I find it very uplifting. If you're down and need some guidance, I would say, watch it. 
“By believing passionately in that which does not exist, we create it. That which is nonexistent has not been sufficiently desired.”  - Nikos Kazantzakis

Our fun day at Filmpark Babelsberg



Phew, time flies. It's almost a month ago, it was on Pfingsmontag - 28th May -  that we went to the Filmpark Babelsberg . http://www.filmpark-babelsberg.de/ It was a very sunny day while today it's such a grey day that makes you wonder if summer will visit Berlin this year or not.
 (I shall write about Berlin's grey days in another post)
Anyhow, back to the Filmpark ..we went by public transport and it took us an hour from Wilmersdorf. Luckily we remembered to punch extra tickets for "Zone C". Our BVG Abo is only valid for Zone AB. And guess what...right, there was a ticket check...Lucky us!
The filmpark is a great place and we had lots of fun. Although be ready to pay a hefty entrance fee. The 4 D cinema is such great fun. It seemed that I shouted the loudest. Also the monster shooter is hilarious. My stepson won and my husband lost.  Ha, it’s so funny, they show your picture and how many monster you’ve shot. I was laughing so hard. They also present shows like The making of the "The three musketeer”.
My son is interested in movies and film making (basically editing) so we took the studio tour with a small group. The guide showed us  the sets outside especially the drama “Gute Zeiten Schlechte Zeiten” (GZSZ) but I never watched it so I have no clue about it. The guide walks you through the set and tells you about it and and some famous movies shot in the location.  It was quite interesting.

We’ve been lucky that it wasn’t too crowded otherwise it can take a very long time waiting and be a bit frustrating.


For further entertainment some scary stuff .... 




 At the end we relaxed taking a boat tour visiting Janosch in Panama.


All in all it was a fun day and good family outing. We came home happy and a bit tired.

This blog ...


    is about my journey. It's about rediscovering Berlin and sometimes feeling alien along the path. I am German, born in Germany and I did grow up in Berlin. However, I’ve lived in a small community in South India for 15 years. Last summer I resetlled with my now Korean husband in Berlin.
So, I might spice up this blog with some Indian masala and occassionally add some Korean kimchi to it. Hope you’ll like it. :-)
