Where I'm blogging from

This is it - the first post in my new blog. Bear with me. I still remember, not too long ago, I refused to surrender the global voyeurism made possible by sites like Facebook and Co. Thought I might have to protect my most beloved "private-sphere" as this is after all where you would find "my innermost core... my most intimate details" (loosely quoting from "Somebody" by Depeche Mode here... oh teenage memories!)

Fact is - I make my living with Online Marketing. "An' it harm none, Do what thou will" is a maxime that I strive to live after, trying hard to be good every day ;-)
You, my Dearest Schwesterherzchen, have influenced my life significantly from the moment we met. And if our experiences can inspire others on their journey through life: Welcome to the Global Sistas Network of Schwesterherzchen!

I was blessed from the start: When I was born, there was already my sis Pea. We were joined by Majo and Baebb - roughly all 2 yrs apart. The 4 of us went to the same school but developed different talents - which must have confused our teachers at times. Our parents are good-natured middle-class Germans - my mum from East and my Dad from the West. Needless to say the grandparents had some different perspectives ;-)

The curious mind, I dare saying, I've inherited from my mum's line of the family.
Leaving the home-village is regarded as a rather serious threat across my ancestors. However, there were some, that broke out previously and looked for new horizons.

Over the past 10 years - I have moved 21 times. I lived in Germany, the United Kingdom and South Africa. I've returned to Cape Town now for a second 'for good' and yet I discover new landscapes every day.

This is where I'm blogging from. Where are you?
