It's all about pleasure

I've found a quote today that I love because it is what my guests feel and tell me when they come to our raw cafe. It is from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a German poet (1749 - 1832): "Kein Genuss ist vorübergehend, denn der Eindruck, den er hinterlässt, ist bleibend"
A translation could be:  "But no pleasure can be transitory; the impression which it leaves is lasting" - or is there a better translation?

I love it when our guests are just sitting at the table and looking at their dish with sparkling eyes. I serve a healthy food that doesn't taste like health food but is just DECADENT (comment of one of my guest). I experiment with lot of spices, textures and food combination and love what I do.

This was a raw creamy celeriac-green apple soup with a drop of truffle oil. It was terrific!

Aloha!

It's all about raw

It's all about motivation

A few days ago I was lucky enough to get to know an exceptional athlete who (inconsciously) really has motivated me in going further my way and keeping my dreams on.

This German athlete, Stefan Schlegel, wanted to complete one of his life-dreams and decided 2012 to participate (and finish) to the world's longest bicycle race "Race Across America - RAAM", certainly the hardest bicycle race worldwide. The solo racers have a maximum of twelve days and five hours to ride the RAAM distance. That mean they have to ride more than 400 kilometers a day, every day for almost 2 weeks. Crazy isn't it? And he's finished it at the 10th position (4.800 km in 11 days, 5 h. and 1 min.). For more information go to http://www.stefans-race.de/en/athlete

His plans are to start again 2014 and I invite you to support his efforts and follow him on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/StefansRace.de?fref=ts) or his website. It is worth it

„You can reach anything you want in your life, you just need to really want it!“ he says.

Do you have days where you don’t feel like doing what you know you need to do or you want to do? In the past I had a lot of such days and I know how difficult it is to motivate yourself. I don't have THE solution but beginning with small steps and working your way to the next level is worth the trouble.

What motivates YOU?

Aloha!

It's all about love

Months ago I had the idea of creating a blog for myself :-), for helping me staying focused on what I want to do, what I want to achieve this year. Even if I already have a blog it is one business related but is also referring to my passion and my work in this area. It's about raw food. Don't hesitate to have a look at it, I am sure you will find some inspiration as well: www.rohkoestlich.com. It is in German language.

Eat Play Enjoy (which was meant to be"and Joy" in my first thoughts) is more about my life, my life style, my experiences, my travels, my inspiration... about life in general. I will feature people who inspire me, I will show you new products I can't live without, I will take you to the places I love, I will interview people who motivate me, I will work with guest bloggers... all in one I will try to make this blog a wonderful place to stay. You are welcome!

The last year has shown how stressfull my life was and still is. Even if I can manage it quite well, sometimes it is too much. So, in the last months I decided to make small changes first and the results have shown that I'm going in the right direction.

In February I did a 28DayReset with the lovely Penni Shelton and the community really has helped me staying on track with the things I wanted to do. There are for sure still a lot of areas in my life I have to improve but this month was the kick-off for a new life. I've met wonderful people and I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with them.

Life is all about love, love what you do, love what you stand for or change it! If you really want something in life you can have it. So move your a... and enjoy life.

I hope you will have fun in reading Eat Play Enjoy. If you like it drop me a line and I will be happy to answer.

Aloha!
