There was Six Word Saturday, Five Word Friday and so on. I settled on Three Word Thursday. It’s basically just random thoughts that I’m having on a random Thursday and if I find the time to write them down, you can read them here. What are you thinking? I’d love to read your random thoughts in the comments.

Words of the day

you don’t have the strength.

Hi! Hallo!
I’m Kathrin, a German who’s been living the last 16 years in the crazy world of the Silicon Valley. Even though I love our life in California, I’m still missing Köln (Cologne) and the German lifestyle. On this blog I share some of my stories and ruminate about what home really means. I’m a mother of two girls and the wife of an iSlave, a teacher, a social introvert and very passionate about the things I do.
I’m glad you’re here! Schön, dass du hier bist!
