Today, 35 years ago a fish called Joanna was born.
Being a Pisces is a blessing, and a curse - I have always thought. Hmm, some of you might say what a load of BS - zodiac signs, horoscopes, astrology. One faith lies in one´s hand; we shape who we are . I agree, wholeheartedly. But can one ignore some of the truths behind it?
I am not a fanatic nor an enthusiastic devotee of astrology. It has help me from time to time in seeking orientation.

And a big part of me is a Pisces.


I wonder when human beings start asking: who am I? I wonder if we ever stop asking who we are?
Today, as I celebrate my birthday, I look back to my early memories, and try to give an honest examination of who I was, who I have become, and who I still want to be.
Introspection. I have accepted that of myself. I have come to accept it is not egoism but part of my whole.
And a big part of me is introspective.


I cannot go further without knowing who I have become. And knowing who I am gives me strength and courage to trudge forward in the path of life. Knowing who I am, gives me freedom to accept others for who they are more generously.

So, who was I?

I was a frightened child; I was a rebel of a daughter on the outside, subservient in the inside. I was an adventuruous spirit, and sensitive soul. I was idealistic dreamer, and a chronic conformist civilian.

Who am I?

I am a dreamer - a Weltbürger, who wants to make a difference by starting with herself; a woman discovering and enjoying her sensuality - not striving to fit into the mould customized by the soceity but letting the soceity discover the mould I have modeled to suit me; a loving mommy ; a wife . . . who is redefining her role in the partnership; a supportive daughter, sister and niece; a warm dedicated friend.
I always have the memory of who I was; it defines who I am.

Who do I want to be?

A storyteller.
I want to weave words to create worlds where wonders abound. Where dreamers lose themselves in the reality I reveal. Hopes are nurtured that readers revels themselves in the images, strong in it´s effect, making it their own reality.

The last missing piece of me, waiting to be placed among the many connected parts laid on the puzzle that is who I am. . . : fearless passionate storyteller . . .
Yes, it is in my hand to make myself whole. In my hand . . . in my hand. . .


Was immer du tun kannst oder erträumst zu können, beginne es.
Kühnheit besitzt Genie, Macht und magische Kraft. Beginne es jetzt.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Johann Wolfgann Goethe
