Life Rules by Marion Winik

For me almost everything that stresses me in life can be calmed by remembering this 7 rules by Marion Winik:
1. The path is not straight
2. Mistakes need not be fatal
3. People are more important than achievements or possessions
4. Be gentle with your parents
5. Never stop doing what you care most about
6. Learn to use a semi-colon
7. You will find love
My first blog post!

Why did I decide to start writing a blog? Who knows! Outwordly in the past year my life has not changed that much but inwardly the changes have been HUGE. I felt the need to share some of the wisdom I have learned in the past 6 months and will hopefully keep on learning.

Expect inspirational quotes & pictures, yummy baking moments, (likely) regular food freak-outs from a former fat girl, crazy running issues, anything Roger Federer I am feeling on any particular day, trials of a PhD student, my disasterous attempts at having a love life as a non-German speaker living in East Germany (!)....all in all a regular girl living a regular life, trying to find my happy place :-)
