Me in Myself Magazine!

I've very honored and happy to be part of an article in the April 2010 issue of Myself magazine (Conde Nast publication in Germany for women) featuring 3 bloggers, Judith O'Reilly (Wife in the North), Nicole Stitch (whom I'm a huge fan of, she authors Delicious Days) and then me and my blog -- decor8. Haus Maus was also mentioned. The article is called, "Mein Leben im Blog", which means roughly, my life on a blog. It is very positive and I really appreciate the care and attention that the writer put into composing it. I have an entire page to myself (p.52) which is quite exciting with a photo taken last month here in my flat where I work each day.

Some highlights from this article include: My husband, Thorsten, is mentioned in the final paragraph and how we met online. I love when writers include my husband because I believe that behind every successful person there is another person of equal value, sometimes greater value, who supports them. I also love seeing my words in bold, red text in the upper right hand corner,

"Ich habe nich auf den richtigen Moment gewartet, sondern einfachlosgelegt."

In English this means, I didn't wait for the right moment, I just started."

I think that statement sums up how I approach many things in my life and so I'm pleased that this point really stands out.

Thank you Marlene for the interview and for preparing such a great article -- and also for making a dream come true for me. When I moved to Germany in August 2009 I set a goal to be featured in a magazine here but was uncertain as to how to go about it. Then Marlene contacted me, out of the blue, and made my dream a reality and for this, I am very grateful.
