I am a product of my decisions

I am a product of my decisions

We all must make some significant decisions during our lives. These decisions have a substantial impact on us but also affect the people close to us. The implications of these decisions can last for years or even decades.  As a result, it is sometimes stressful to make big decisions and requires a lot of courage.

The years directly after school

Young adults must decide how to spend their precious years directly after school. This time is crucial to prepare themselves for the rest of their lives. This decision impacts the knowledge they acquire, the skills they develop and the people they meet.

Some young adults are clear on what they want to do and work according to a plan. They have clarity on the why, what, and how questions. However, others are unsure how they want to spend these critical years. Their initial plans sometimes do not work out or are very different from their parents` views. It can be a very stressful period for young adults and their parents. In my letter, leaving the nest, I share more about my experience as a parent.

Relationships

Everyone makes decisions about relationships. Other people’s impact on you is significant, and you must therefore decide who you allow into your inner circle and where your boundaries lie. It becomes challenging when you realise it is time to end a close relationship. It usually happens because the relationship is no longer constructive, and long-term goals and values are no longer aligned. These decisions cause great conflict, loss, and sadness.

Career

In a rapidly changing world, a few people’s types or places of work remain the same during their careers. Career decisions affect your financial planning and personal growth. It also affects the level of fulfilment and peace of mind you experience. Sometimes you do not have control over career decisions. Businesses close, retrenchments happen or hiring criteria change to promote diversity in inclusivity. In these situations, you only have control over your reactions and actions.

Relocation

Career decisions, relationships, or life stages usually drive relocation decisions. It requires a lot of change and adjustment. In my letter entitled, big, difficult decisions, I share more about the decision and impact of our move from South Africa to Switzerland.

Lessons learned from my own life decisions

We seldom have certainty about what the right decision is in each situation. We take a step in faith and give it our best. Many of my life decisions did not work out as I had planned. I ended up with a career very different from what I studied, and my first marriage ended in divorce. However, I am infinitely grateful for the life experience and personal growth that resulted from the decisions.  They have contributed to a colourful journey.

I have also learned over the years that the lack of a life decision when it is needed can steal a lot of peace. Courage is also a decision.

Considerations during life-changing decisions

We often make life-changing decisions based on “gut feeling”. However, you must evaluate for yourselves how the decision:

• Influence your vision, life purpose and long-term goals;

• Affect different aspects of your life to avoid being so focused on one aspect and in the process fail to think about the impact on all other aspects; and

• Support your values. Personal values are the things that are important to us and have a significant impact on our happiness in life, sense of pride, and personal fulfilment.

No one can make life-changing decisions on your behalf. However, you are welcome to contact me if you need the help of an independent coach to help you arrive at your answer.

Technology changed the way we live

Technology changed the way we live

Technology has an increasingly changing impact on how we live. Digitization is a buzzword. I am embarrassed to admit that I do not welcome digitization with the same excitement as the rest of my family. I sometimes focus on the inconvenience of change rather than the incredible opportunities it creates. However, my family makes sure that I am not left behind.

Home automation

Charl works in technology and gets very excited about new developments. He implemented numerous automation in our house in South Africa and controlled the alarm, security cameras and garage doors from his phone. When he worked away from home, the automation allowed him to check on all the cameras.

Charl was already in Switzerland on the day of Christo’s 18th birthday and party. I turned off the outside camera that night because I was worried that Charl’s heart was not strong enough to watch a house party while adapting to a new job in a new country.

Charl bought a Google Home for our apartment in Switzerland. It plays music and provides the weather forecast on request. However, I get very annoyed when Google Home does not understand my accent and friendly tone of voice. It responds immediately to Zander’s instructions. I informed Charl and Zander that if they ever talk to me in the same instructive manner as with Google Home, I’m packing my suitcase home.

ICS School

The ICS school provides each child with a Chrome book on which they work at school and do homework. The school has licenses for various software that the learners use in different subjects, such as Design and Art. Even the library book lending system is automated. Parents can, therefore, also lend and read books online.

Supermarkets

At supermarkets, the buying and paying process is also automated. Customers must activate a scanner with their card at the store entrance before scanning each item they load into the trolley. After the purchases, they pay at a terminal. It came in quite handy during Covid-19. Staff members occasionally conduct samples on selected customers to keep them honest.

The first time they selected me for a sample was a traumatic experience. With the final scan before payment, large red letters, WARTEN, appeared on the screen. A shop assistant showed up and requested that I unpack my trolley, as she had to scan everything again. I could feel my temperature rise, especially when she pointed out to me that I forgot to scan the barcode of the yoghurt! I left the store without a criminal record but was very embarrassed.

A Blog for My Letters

My friends encouraged me to post my regular letters on ʼn Blog. My fear of technology and social media were the two factors that kept me from doing this for over a year. I had to see it as something new to try and learn.

Certain aspects were intuitive, but others were more challenging to figure out. I regularly wished for someone to sit next to me and help. The online world does not have a phone number or an email address. You rely on online articles written by people who have experienced a similar problem.

The whole experience reminded me of the following:

  • In a changing world, new and unknown things and experiences are a given. We must see them as doors that open new worlds.
  • It is very satisfying to manage to do something successfully after struggling with it.
  • We are part of history and have the privilege of witnessing rapid technological change.
  • Everybody needs the support and encouragement of other people to try something new. We must receive it with love and grace and distribute it in abundance.

Lifestyle changes in Switzerland

Lifestyle changes in Switzerland

Sometimes it is necessary to reflect on the path you have walked, the choices you have made and their impact. To adapt in Switzerland, we have made several lifestyle changes. Some of our changes were by choice, and others were for economic or practical reasons.

Transport

We have made a significant adjustment in terms of transport. Space and parking are limited and we, like the rest of the people in Switzerland, regularly use public transport. We ride a bike or walk as an alternative. Zander has a lot of freedom between public transport and his scooter.

After our first year, we bought a car to expand our options. Charl had to take a practical driving test to obtain a Swiss driving license. I shared more about this in a letter, tests on the road. I have not been behind a steering wheel in the last two years. However, I am much fitter.

Eating habits

Our eating habits changed significantly. We enjoyed eating out or enjoying breakfast on a Wine Farm in South Africa. However, breakfast is not a big deal in Switzerland. The Swiss quickly get a “Gipfile” (croissant) or “Brezel” (giant pretzel) and coffee at the train station or a bakery.

Dining out is expensive, and the variety of options is limited. I can count the times we ate at a restaurant on my one hand. Drinking coffee in Switzerland is the most expensive in the world.

We live almost entirely vegetarian. Meat options are limited and very expensive. I occasionally spoil Zander with a hamburger or pork sausage, but I find the meat and especially the chicken tasteless. I, therefore, adjusted my weekly menu to a vegetarian menu.

Residence

We exchanged a large house with a lovely garden in South Africa for a small apartment on the first floor in a large apartment complex, Ankenbüel, in Zumikon. The cost of home cleaning assistance is 15 times more than the same service in South Africa. I am, therefore, grateful that our place is small because the cleaning task landed on my job description. The benefit of our living space is that we live lighter with less responsibility and obligations associated with home maintenance.

The smaller living area impacted our personal space at home. We initially saw it as a potential problem, but now we enjoy the togetherness. However, the Covid-19 restriction tested this aspect to the limit.

Diversity

Most people living in the apartment complex come from other parts of the world. Of course, the international school also consists of families from all over the world. We are, therefore, exposed to diversity on many levels. We experience a variety of food, cultural practices, language, and things we never knew existed. It helps us to look at diversity with new eyes and respect. It also causes us to have more respect and appreciation for our own country, its people, and its traditions.

Language

Our German vocabulary has expanded quite a bit, and our understanding of the language is already reasonable. However, we are not yet able to have a proper conversation in German. We often do not understand what is going on, and it is sometimes a big challenge. The expectation is that you should be able to speak the language of the country where you live. 

We enjoy the new opportunities and personal growth that it brings. The change certainly has a significant impact on our perspectives in a changing world. Situations often confront us with our outlook. Sometimes we must laugh at ourselves for the mistakes we make. Growth does not happen without the necessary growing pains.

Kind regards

Life’s purpose and meaning questions

Life’s purpose and meaning questions

Why are we here? What is it that we offer? How can we present our offering in a way that sets us apart? Simon Sinek explains in a popular TED Talk how the most successful organizations think, act, and communicate if they start with Why. There are similarities between the questions that organizations need to ask themselves and what we as individuals need to ask ourselves.

Personal purpose and meaning

Each of us arrives as a unique individual on earth to contribute to a better society. During our first 18 years, our parents and help us prepare for the cause. We also discover some of our passions and talents. During our late teenage years, we begin to ask ourselves the Why, What and How questions. Having a purpose is an important aspect of a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Some people answer these big questions through meaningful, satisfying work. For others, their purpose lies in their responsibilities to their family or friends. Some people manage to live out their purpose in all aspects of their lives. There are many ways in which we can live out our purpose.

Change is the only constant in life

The one certainty of life is that it is constantly changing. Circumstances around us change, but life experiences and phases cause inner change to take place as well. Change in circumstances can lead to a change in the way we contribute. Sometimes a feeling of boredom, unmotivated, or uselessness causes us to ask the “Why”, “What”, and “How” questions.

The way we live out our purpose and contribute can be very different during different phases of our lives. However, there are always needs around us that we can address through our knowledge, skills, and experience. Usually, it requires us to get out of our comfort zone. It is, however, very fulfilling to live out your purpose.

My own journey with purpose and contribution

People and personal growth are topics close to my heart. I have, therefore, years ago completed a Diploma in Coaching. During the training, we had to articulate our “purpose”. I thought about the role I have played in various circumstances over the years and considered my values. It also helped to obtain the perceptions and opinions of people close to me. I expressed my purpose as follows:

Putting my “purpose” into words helped me identifying ways to put it into practice. I was motivated to take the necessary risks and tackle challenges to move forward.

After all the change and adjustment in Switzerland, I again reached the point where I had to confront myself with the Why, What and How questions? I decided to contribute through coaching. I would like to use the skills and techniques I learned along with my life experiences to help others find answers to their questions.

Please Contact Me if you are at that point where you are thinking about your big life questions and can find value in a coaching process to help you find the answers to these questions in a structured way.

Medals for dedication and sacrifice

Medals for dedication and sacrifice

The recent Olympics sucked me in like a strong ocean current. I was on the crest with certain athletes, their coaches, family, and team members.  However, I also shed tears about disappointments and dreams that did not work out.

The Olympic medal symbolizes hard work, dedication, sacrifice and patience. It serves as a motivation for the thousands of people fighting the pandemic worldwide.

Medal of Honour

We are familiar with the US Medal of Honour, the highest form of recognition a military member can earn. For some, the Medal of Honour indicates profound bravery and heroism. For others, it symbolizes enormous sacrifice, dedication, and service.

For people who receive the medal, its meaning is often deeply personal and filled with myriad emotions unique to each individual and their experience. It is a tangible reminder of a difficult time in their lives and often represents enormous personal loss and sacrifice. These ordinary people have done extraordinary things for a better future.

In the last year, I have seen various people who have done extraordinary things for the people they love. These people will never receive a medal for their selfless love and sacrifice.

Burger and Dalene Prinsloo

In a previous letter, I shared more about Burger and Dalene’s internal journey in a foreign country. After his severe stroke on 18 August 2020, Burger spent six months in hospitals in Germany and the last six months in South African rehabilitation centres. Dalene resigned from her job and supported Burger in every way possible. They have a team of therapists, family and friends who also support them. However, I can write an entire book on all their challenges over the past year. They both got Covid, among others.

They are currently in Johannesburg with their daughter to enable therapy for Burger. I share Dalene’s words from recent feedback.

“We are healthy, and Burger is progressing well. He can walk almost 100 steps at a time. However, his muscles are stiff, and he is experiencing pain with the sudden exercise after ten months in the hospital bed. According to the therapists, it sounds like we must stay here for another ten months before we can go home. We embark on the journey day by day in faith, and we know the finish line awaits!”

The pandemic

The pandemic caused a lot of trauma and loss, and many families have lost loved ones. Others lost their jobs or sources of income and security. It takes courage to get out of bed in the morning and fulfil your responsibilities. Superhuman strength is required to sit with your pain, study for exams and help with tasks at home because mom or dad is no longer there.

A letter from a young girl who recently lost her mom and dad touched my heart.

“I want to go buy buns after church on Sunday and steal a hot bun from the bag and eat in the car on the way home. I want to step into the chaos where you smell homemade food. I want to run fast to put on other clothes. I will quickly close my room door to hide the unmade bed and my church clothes still lying on the ground. I know mom does not make a fuss on Sundays. I want to turn back time and be at HOME again.”

To all the ordinary people who do extraordinary things, I want to say,

“Your attitude and perseverance, despite many challenges, give me and others hope and serve as encouragement and inspiration!”

Kind regards

Life consists of colourful moments

Life consists of colourful moments

Life consists of moments. Moments are like pictures stored in the memory album and always available to slowly scroll through for remembrance.

Last year was a milestone birthday for Charl. Milestone birthdays force us to look back on the memorable moments of life. Charl’s love of puzzles and mine for photos were the building blocks for his gift idea. 

Ravensburger in Germany allows one the opportunity to design a personalised jigsaw puzzle with your photos. The design of the gift provided me with just as much joy as the building did for Charl.

Our life is like one big puzzle

Our life is a big puzzle consisting of moments that shape and colour the picture. There are times when we can only focus on the pieces unpacked on the table that look like a mess.

In times that feel overwhelming, it helps to embark on a creative and therapeutic project to give our subconscious mind a chance to make sense of what may seem confusing. It allows our subconscious mind to look holistically at our lives and see all the pieces as challenges or opportunities rather than impossibilities. We are beginning to understand how these puzzle pieces fit together to create a bigger picture.

Our pictures consist of coloured but also black and grey pieces. The black and grey pieces help us to have more appreciation for the coloured parts. It is the contrasts that make the artwork unique.

We need to create memorable moments

We must create opportunities for memorable moments. For years I have been using December months to go through my year’s photos and sort them. It forms part of my way of reflecting on the year, but it is also a valuable encouragement to be open to new ideas and create opportunities for special moments.

My life is less hectic in Switzerland, and I deliberately focus on just enjoying the everyday moments. I have to be present to observe. My time together with Zander as our youngest is rapidly diminishing. This realisation encourages me to focus on being present and enjoy it when we drink our morning coffee in bed.

I have started to observe activities in the area and changes in nature more consciously when I walk to the store. I make eye contact and smile when I greet the people I pass by. It turns into an enjoyable shared moment that forms part of each other’s day.

We need to allow each other memorable moments

As my sons grow up and start living their own lives, I am more aware of the importance of allowing each other memorable moments. Within a family, individuals have different passions, favourite places and people.

Kahlil Gibran expresses it so beautifully in the following piece he wrote with a marital relationship in mind, but it is just as valid with other close relationships:

Shared moments despite the distances between us

Covid times force us to be creative in our efforts to at least be together in spirit. As family and friends around the world, we embarked on various creative projects. The projects included paint-by-numbers, diamond-dot-painting, acrylic paint on canvas and Lego and other building projects.

We excitedly shared our progress with pictures and thus experienced togetherness.

Words have become my lifeline

Words have become my lifeline

I have never been one for many words. I enjoy deep and informative conversations but tend to listen better than talk. For the past two years, however, words have been my only contact with other people.

The words that I speak and hear

Phone conversations have made me anxious before. Nowadays, a phone call has become my new gift. I look forward to hearing someone’s voice. My weekly call with my mother is like a constant to which I cling. I am grateful for the privilege of hearing her voice. After we shared information about the well-being of family and friends, we discussed our passions and interests. We also delight in the precious moments and positive memories of the past. It is always special to hear my mother laugh.

My boys do not like phone calls either. However, these days we talk on the phone for hours. We have previously expressed our love for each other by spending time and doing activities together. Often, it happened in silence because each other’s presence was enough. We helped each other with tasks or enjoyed little surprise gifts. Touch, as an expression of caring, happened in passing. Words are now all we have.

The words that we write and read

I experience writing as a valuable way to get rid of the emotions that want to overwhelm me. It helps me make sense of how I feel. The paper does not give advice, listens patiently, and gives me perspective. During my divorce, I pinned down my emotions in poetic form. With us moving to Switzerland, my regular letters help me to make sense of events, keep in touch and keep memories alive on paper.

I like to read and often find answers to my questions in written form. Often, I even find encouragement in written pieces, poems, and wise words of people on social media. I have learned to be selective with the type and the source of the information I read. Words have a significant impact on my mind, my feelings, and my actions.

Words are powerful

Words are a carrier of information and emotions. It has an impact on other people. If words become one’s only form of connection, you must choose them carefully. It is vital for the one who speaks it but also for the one who hears it. Words can build, inspire, motivate, acknowledge, and convey love. However, it can demean, discourage, and sow doubt and uncertainty.

Our words are a confirmation to the world of how we see others, our lives and ourselves. When we say something out loud, these words become the truth for ourselves but also for all who hear them. We must select our words carefully to ensure they are positive and convey the truth. We cannot retract our words.

The pen is mightier than the sword

I appreciate the idiom that says, “The pen is mightier than the sword.” Written words can convince, educate, enlighten others, and bring about more change than violence or abuse of power can ever do. It allows others to reflect on the words, experience emotional responses, and take action of their own free will.

Words have become my lifeline, and I am grateful to everyone who helps me keep my head above water with the exchange of words.

Kind regards

Braai is a South African tradition

Braai is a South African tradition

The love for braai is one of the few things  South Africans share, regardless of race, language, or culture. Braai is a South African tradition. Therefore, Heritage Day in South Africa is also known as Braai Day.

Braai and BBQ are not the same

If I must explain braai to my non-South African friends, I will do it as follows. Although braai loosely means cooking food over the coals, braaiing is not synonymous with barbeque. Braaiing can take place at any time of the day and in any season. South Africans even make coffee and breakfast on a braai when we camp. It is normal to braai during the week to prepare meals. Braai is even sometimes done after a night out since it is a way of being social.

Switzerland has a BBQ season

In Switzerland, there is a definite BBQ season during the summer. During May, the stores start unpacking accessories and food items that are marked BBQ. BBQ items are only available until after the summer holidays. During September, all the BBQ items make way again for Fondue and Raclette cheese which is the Swiss’ traditional way of hanging out with friends and family.

Here abroad, we look at a braai with new eyes. It is like an umbilical cord that binds you to your people, culture, and tradition. With Charl as a vegetarian, we did not braai in South Africa as often as most other people. In Switzerland, we have rectified the situation and braaiing is now high on our agenda.

BBQ options in Switzerland

Compared to South Africa, the meat options for braai are limited and incredibly expensive. Options consist mainly of pork sausage, marinated pork, chicken, and hamburger patties. Fortunately, there is a large variety of vegetarian barbecue options. There are different types of cheeses as well as other vegetarian substitutes for meat. We are now systematically trying out exciting products.

We have inaugurated our braai tradition in Switzerland with a disposable braai, a popular form of braai in the summer along the lake. For the first time, we tried out the disposable braai on the table on the porch of our apartment. The smell and taste and Zander’s excitement were enough motivations to buy a weber braai that works with charcoal.

It took us a while to get up to speed. For example, there are no fire lighters here, but we found substitutes and, in the process, discovered new Weber-related products.

Our braai was causing problems

One Sunday afternoon, someone rang our front doorbell. It was our Swiss neighbour in her wheelchair. Luckily Charl opened the door, and I listened from the room. When she started her sentence with, “I do not like complaining, but …” I held my breath. She complained about the braai and the smoke coming into her house. She also brought along the apartment complex’s lease agreement to show that only gas grills are allowed. We have never read the fine print in German before.

We searched again for the lease on the computer, translating the rules from German only to see that she was right. It was a bitter pill, but we were obliged to return with our hat in our hand. An apology letter and South African rooibos tea had to put the awkward situation behind us.

In South Africa braai on a gas grill is not considered a braai

In South Africa, braai on a gas grill is not considered a braai. We realised that “beggars cannot be choosers”, and Charl ordered a gas grill. Putting the Weber gas grill together was a whole Saturday project. Fortunately, Charl already has good experience with these types of construction projects.

We have tried our new gas grill a few times now. It works very well and allows us to experiment with different items. We tried homemade pizzas, but it still needs process improvement.

My husband enjoys his e-bike more than walking

My husband enjoys his e-bike more than walking

My husband does not like walking. He made this fact very clear to me while we were still dating. He lost a few points in my books because I love walking. However, Charl’s recent electric bike proposal earned him a few bonus points.
Zander is now at that age where he prefers his friends’ company and activities over his parents. His parents, therefore, had to find something to keep themselves busy during weekends.

E-bikes are popular in Switzerland

E-bikes are becoming more and more popular in Switzerland, with one in seven bikes being electric bikes. The e-bike enables cyclists to tackle more demanding routes and greater distances on their bikes than they would be able to do on a road bike.

It is a bonus when the bike’s electric motor kicks in and you have assistance with getting up a hill. The cyclists who ride ordinary bicycles get irritated when an e-bike passes them. We learned to be more respectful and remain behind them on the uphill sections.

Switzerland caters well for cyclists

Switzerland caters very well for cyclists. There are dedicated bike paths, as well as bike stands available everywhere. The Kamoot App on my cell phone shows all the cycling and hiking trails. These bike routes take cyclists through the most beautiful rural parts and ensure they stay off the main roads.

Charl rides his bike to work

The traffic in Zurich is heavy, like in most cities. Cycling is one of the best ways to get through the city. Charl started riding the bike to work and forms part of a weekly exercise routine. Cycling is a great way to travel in an environmentally conscious country.

We explore the countryside over weekends

Cycling is a fun way to experience Switzerland’s beautiful landscapes and enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside. Our favourite is the road to Rapperswil, a medieval town at the bottom of Lake Zurich. We enjoy driving through the forest all along the lake to get there. On our journey, we see and smell the horses, cattle, and canola. At Rapperswil, we spoil ourselves with an Egg McMuffin and coffee by the lake. This way, we gather strength for the steep hill back home.

Cycling tourism

Bicycle tourism is a popular way to spend a holiday these days. It involves exploring the area by cycling from one town to the next. Alternatively, you can stay in one place and make day trips with your bike. There is a cycling route around Lake Constance that we would very much like to do. The road takes you through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with breathtaking views of the lake and the Alps.

I love speed and have already reached 60km/h on my bike. However, Charl warned me that if I fell or got a speeding ticket, I would lose a few points in his books!

Zug surprised us with cherries and a scooter

Zug surprised us with cherries and a scooter

Great was my joy when I started to see cherries in the Swiss shops. I found out that Zug, which is close to us, is known for its cherries. The Romans planted cherries more than 1800 years ago. For the past 400 years, a cherry market has been held annually in Zug. Zug is also known for its cherry pie and its brandy (Kirsch).

Our outing to Zug exceeded our expectations. Various types of cherries, other berries, and related products were available at the market. We walked away with a box full of sweet cherries and cherry jam.

Cherries bring back fond memories

Bright red, sun-ripened cherries seduce me. I love their shape, colour and texture and the taste is heavenly. In South Africa, their scarcity contributed to the allure. I had precious memories of picking cherries in Ceres with the family during a Christmas holiday. We went home with tired children and bags full of cherries.

Cherries were that year’s Christmas dinner theme. With everyone’s creative suggestions, all the dishes on the Christmas menu contained cherries. There was cherry jam with the pot bread, a cherry and brandy sauce with the steak and a fruit salad with cherries. The meal was rounded off with a snow-white pavlova with bright red cherries as dessert. After Christmas, we were all healed of cherries for a year!

Many foreigners live in Zug

Zug is a beautiful town next to a turquoise lake. In Switzerland, each canton has its own tax rates. Zug is the canton with the lowest tax rate. It is, therefore, popular among foreigners and has an international school. Zug has a Swiss atmosphere, but more people speak English than in the other towns.

Zug, established 800 years ago, has a beautiful old town with cobblestone roads and historic buildings. Musicians with an accordion in front of a restaurant contributed to the atmosphere. They welcomed their guests with music and drinks. We celebrated the day with beer and pizza at an Italian restaurant next to the lake. Eating out in Switzerland is a luxury.

Zugersee surprised Zander with a scooter

Zander went prepared in his swimsuit. When we arrived, we sat on the rocks next to the lake to watch all the ducks and their fluffy baby ducklings. Zander braved the icy water and adapted enough to be able to swim around.

The next moment he saw something that excited him – a scooter that looked just like his scooter. After diving and splashing, he put the scooter, covered in green moss, down by the lake. He intended to clean the scooter and take it home.

Zug yielded far more than we had hoped for. The beautiful town exceeded all our expectations.

Cherry greetings

Emsia
