Over the years, I studied the philosophies of great minds and poets. They helped me make sense of the world and, through their wisdom, I am able to cope in flexible ways with the challenges that life throws my way. I have overcome many hurdles and achieved the peacefulness of a truly loved and appreciated life.

New Author Interview!!!

Thank you to the V Network for allowing me to have a voice.

This  interview gave me a chance to share my life‘s story.

All the challenges I have overcome and how all the adversity made me strong and resilient , it gave me a chance to forward my gratitude to the future.  

I wrote my memoir “From Rubble To Champagne” as a gift for my husband’s 80th. birthday,. It is an expression of gratitude to him for believing in me. For seeing potential   in me that I did not know I had. For encouraging me to learn and grow and supporting me in all my endeavors. For being the wind beneath my wings, and always making me feel so loved. We are going through a time of great uncertainty and many people are living in despair.

I want to give people the message to never give up hope, to have a vision and stay focused, to have determination and persistence which is everything. Obstacles can be overcome! Become resilient. The beauty of resilience is that it can be acquired. You can train to become resilient. I have been through so much worse. In this time of uncertainty it is more important than ever to hold steadfast to gratitude and hope. After overcoming very difficult and challenging times  I know too well that these hold the key to happiness. My memoir From Rubble To Champagne is an example of the “ American Dream,”

I have not always held the perspective on life that I possess now. In my memoir I opened up about the hardships I overcame in order to find joy and peace. By revealing my story with brutal honesty I hope I can provide inspiration and encouragement for anyone struggling during this unprecedented moment in history.

Through hope, hard work, determination and perseverance I was able to make the best of what God gave me and awaken to my ultimate nature. The result was that I was able to have a life of prosperity and gratitude.

Gratitude represents the whole of ourselves.

Practicing gratitude has been healing for me. The positivity and optimism I generated through my gratitude fueled me on difficult days. Gratitude has helped me to trust myself and my abilities even in moments of great uncertainty. It is always possible to find good , even in chaos. You become strong as a result of your ability to find what is good in life. You are what you think are not empty words.

The world certainly looks very different than when it did when I was a little girl growing up in Berlin Germany in the aftermath of Nazi Germany.

In my memoir  From Rubble To Champagne , rising  from the ashes of war-torn Berlin, I detail what it was like growing up in the years following WWII. The many challenges I had to overcome being born illegitimate, deemed stateless and considered a foreigner in Nazi Germany. I had many strikes against me.   In my book I share the many challenges I overcame and the beautiful life I built for myself.
