When I listen to violin music, I get goose bumps. It makes me happy and brings tears to my eyes. A roaring orchestra provides pleasant showers, a deep singing voice has a calming effect on me. It's kind of amazing how much sounds influence me and direct my emotional world. When I need peace, I turn to music.

Creating a feeling of peace in me I achieve best with a lot of fresh air and movement. I love biking, even more I like walking far and speedy through forests and fields. No matter how nervous I was before, it soothes my spirit. Then I become peaceful.

I love gifts. When I receive a gift, I write in a notebook what I received, who gave it to me and on what occasion I received it. Every now and then I pick up the notebook and enjoy the memories. Bringing these beautiful memories to my mind brings peace to me.
