CHANGE THE ENDING

As we grow, we don’t just chase new beginnings —
we learn to root. In ourselves. In acceptance. In what is, instead of what should be.

“When we are no longer able to change a situation,
we are challenged to change ourselves.”
– Viktor E. Frankl

📚 And it’s true.
There are moments in life when we simply can’t change what’s happening around us.
The people. The dynamics. The disappointments.

But we can change how we respond.
And sometimes — that changes everything.

It’s not easy.
But over time, space opens.
New perspectives appear.
And surprisingly often, peace follows.

💬 Have you ever changed your story — not by rewriting others, but by softening your own grip?
It would be wonderful if you’d share it with us. Thank you for your trust.

HAVE A VIBRANT & JOYFILLED DAY!

I had so much fun putting this post together — truly!
And yet, I can already hear the voices in the background 😅
“Hospitality? No way. Long hours. No appreciation. Poor pay…”

Yes, I hear you. And yet…

This can still be one of the most rewarding, vibrant and joy-filled careers —
If you know your craft.
If you love creating joy for others.
If you understand: We are service people — now more than ever.

And guess what?
Guests notice.
More and more are grateful when they meet someone who cares — in any industry. Sure – you have to be tough to get paid fairly and correctly – and also – VERY CLEAR & reliable in your communicaition – 365 day a year (including „les jours fériés“).

And honestly?
There’s no other job that comes with this kind of VIP status + smile mileage —
all around the world 🌍😉Not everyone needs more school after graduating. Some of us just need life. And in hospitality, that life starts on day one. You learn, earn, grow — and truly show up as yourself. It’s a energy loaded time – and useful for every next step you might consider for your career.

I started with training too. Then I went to management school.
Wouldn’t change a thing.

A PLATE AT BACON – ANTIBES

A plate at Bacon in Antibes – so lovingly presented that it belongs in a museum.
Why isn’t there a museum of the most beautiful plates in the world yet?

🎨 “One should offer the body something good so that the soul has a desire to live in it” said Winston Churchill so aptly at the time. So be sure to save this post for the next moment you give yourself. Because good food makes you happy. And often even more than beautiful clothes or beauty treatments.

This was episode 1 of the new series „88 favorite places“. If you’d like more – write PLACES in the comments and you’ll soon receive the first newsletter. Bon appetit 🙂

SCHÖNE WÖRTER

A rose-colored glimpse into my world – fabrics, shapes, words, memories. Beauty not only touches the eye, but also inspires the mind. Not everything that’s beautiful makes sense in everyday life. But with experience, we learn: It’s not about more. It’s about meaning.

Slide by slide, a few spirations :
Feminine. Lived. Layered with age, clarity and joy.

🌸 First peony & „schöne Wörter“ book
🌺 A fabric full of vibration
🌹 Roses from the garden, sun-kissed and soft.
🎨 A museum robe in Matisse pink and blue
👜 A yellow bag with blushing blooms.
🎀 A corduroy swatch, like my teenage years.
🏛 A pink pavilion, sculpted in silence.
💬 A Chaplin quote about hands and heart.
📚 A book of beautiful words
🪑 An empty table – your invitation to share

Young people often ask: “How can you learn that?”
And although the internet explains everything – the real feeling comes with life.

It wasn’t until I was in my early 40s that I really felt: “I like that.”
And developed the courage to say: “And that – just not.”

That goes for wine. For fabrics. To what we surround ourselves with.
For what we wear – inside and out.

Have a wonderful day.
If you like the post, I’d be delighted to receive your like –
and maybe even a comment – I see comments & likes like colourful flowers – Merci beaucoup!

ELEGANCE BEGINS THE MOMENT YOU ENTER

A is for Arrival.
Not just in a hotel – but in a feeling.

The scent of jasmine.
Cool marble beneath your steps.
A soft “Welcome” that quiets the noise of the world.
Because in true hôtellerie, elegance begins the moment you enter.

This is the beginning of my new series:
The ABC of Hôtellerie – Slow Moments, Grand Feelings.
And it starts here: with presence, softness, arrival.
How do you want to arrive – in a space, in a day, in your life?
Tell me below. ✨

PS: But what if A also stood for something else? A for Apprenticeship. Ausbildung. A fresh start. A path into the world of hotels, design, or hospitality – for anyone dreaming of a new beginning. Interested ?
Whether you’re job hunting, career-switching, or just curious about a life in style – tell me below what you are interested in.
Who would love this? Tag them. Let’s open the door for someone.“

SOMETHING IS BETTER

Some days, all I manage is this: I breathe – slowly, three times – just to remind myself I’m here.
Or I step outside, even if it’s just around the block. No phone, no purpose. Just me and the sky.” Because SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING.

What do you do to get grounded when life is overwhelming you? What are your small rituals – which might be larger but for some reason just get a little but powerful space in your life? Sending your a lot of blue sky 💙

ROOT

Bienvenue at hotel spirations 360°

How often did I reseach a beautiful room with a view in a relaxed setting and lifeenriching amenities – me, a hotel professional 🙂 So that’s the idea behind HOTEL SPIRATIONS 360° – to offer you a hotel setting, that also avialable on a short notice, where you can enjoy peace and are offered a palette of life enriching possibilities in a beautiful setting. And on top – meeting places to remind ourselfes – we are not alone.

Meet & Greet – because of YOUR age

No matter which age level you have – we all have experiences „because of our age“ – and that’s to be treasured when you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.

Here, you can return to your roots, reconnect with yourself, and gather new strength for everyday life.

This vision is not bound to four walls alone. It is an idea, a state of mind—a reminder that at any time, you can create such a space for yourself:

to breathe, to pause, and to remember who you truly are.

As a hotelier through and through, I’m constantly searching for places with that certain something – places where I find my inner peace in the middle of a busy life. Spaces full of colour, good energy, and endless inspiration. Here, I’ve gathered those feelings and experiences, so you can step into them whenever you need to – no travel booking required. Each space has its own atmosphere, waiting for you to explore.
