Ich schreibe über das Rollenverständnis bei Frauen, Wertschätzung und Kommunikation. Aus eigener Erfahrung weiß ich, wie sich fehlende Wertvorstellungen auf die Realisierung der eigenen Träume auswirken, dass Wertschätzung die Basis für ein gelingendes Miteinander ist und das Kommunikation immer bei uns beginnt.
Zudem teile ich meine Erfahrungen als Expat in Suzhou/China und zeige euch, dass jede Reise mit dem ersten Schritt beginnt. Schön das ihr bei mir seid <3.
Normally I would say no. But since I paint, I have colour that I like more.
For example: I like to be creative with pink, red and blue. I like to paint with coffee and natural colours. I like green but not for painting. It’s so funny to see this. When I paint with green, it’s weird. I feel blocked. My conclusion is that every painting or ever moment has a special colour or a special mood. That means paint the same images for a while. And when it’s over, I create a new design with a new colour. Or I go back to an old design. I love this game. It is a mirror for my inner world and journey.
When I paint than speak my soul. I don’t think when I create. I have a connection with me, the colours, maybe the music I hear. After the process, I see the painting. With most of them I had no Idea what I would create. When I see the result, I’m happy or I’m emotional or I’m crying. That is the moment where I realize that painting can heal. And the magic is: My healing can be yours. When you see my paintings, my soul is speaking to you. And that is one way can you heal.
Painting is silence poetry. And poetry is a painting that speaks“ – Plutarch
This is exactly what I feel. Each painting speaks its own language. Loud, quit, with emotion or without. When I create a painting it is my poetry. When you look at my painting, it is the transition from my language to yours. My poetry becomes yours. And that is magic. I love it.
I like it to be creative with friends. I love to participate in art classes. As a student and as a teacher. But when I make my paintings … I need my space and my spirit. It feels like I need my pur energy. Only in this mood can I create my paintings. When I’m together with other people, I share my energie. And that irritates me.
So, if you are in a similar situation … no problem. Enjoy your time with friends. See what happens to you and your energy and your creativity. Feel it. And after that, go home and be creative in your own world.
I like colours. I like it to have good things around me. I like it to have a fantastic time. When I paint, I feel free. Free from rules or things should I do be doing. When I paint I’m in my creative world. Full of good mood and good feelings. When I paint, my soul speaks. I think we should have more good time with us. Alone. Why? We are free from the external situation and that is important. Because when we are free from it we can feel our inner world. We can hear our voice. Our ideas. That doesn’t mean that we never have a good time with others again. It means that we can have both and that it is important that we are happy with ourselves. I’m happy with me and my paintings.
I am Jana. I’ve been living in China with my family since 2017. China was not my first choice, but the only one.
We were curious. What is it like to live in another country? What is it like to live in another culture? We moved into an adventure with our children. Not everything is good. The situation is sometimes challenging for us. Nevertheless, we like living here. I am Jana and I am a foreigner in China.
Originally I come from Germany. I learned English there, but my teacher told me I was not good enough. So I didn’t speak English there. I worked as a waitress and later I discovered a new passion. I worked as a coach for women in my own practice. That was great and I loved my work. But when I moved to China, I closed my space. Now I support women online. Not the same, but just as nice.
So, I’m Jana from Germany and my mission is to support women worldwide.
Here in China I have written two books. I like to write and I like to read. I like to share my thoughts and I love to connect with people. These are the reasons why I wrote.
So, I’m Jana and I’m a writer.
I have been painting since this year. Never before, but now my big love. It’s so crazy to see what I’m made of. I never thought I would be creative and that other people would like my work. The moment when people bought a painting for their own flat or house … wow. Knowing that my paintings are still hanging in that house and people are having a good time with the paintings. Unbelievable.
Well, I’m Jana and I’m an artist.
I like to travel around the world. My favourite country is Australia. I love coffee and cake. I like being a wife and a mother. I like good conversation. And days with sun and blue sky. I also love the sea and the green forest. I like to sleep late. My favourite objects at home are my coffee maker and my postcard holder. My values are clarity and truth. My focus in life is on joy and beauty.
I think the question: Who am I? is not easy to answer, but now you might have an idea about me.
In my childhood I had no interest in painting. It was boring and I thought I wasn’t creative. That’s what my art teacher told me. And I believed him. When my children were born and they painted, I was not enthusiastic. And why? It was a lot of stuff we needed. And we needed space. The next thing was, when we painted with watercolours, it was messy and dirty.
Today I know I was wrong. My belief system was holding me back. Now I see how creative work works. How important it is to play with your inner creativity. I believe that we all have this side, but we don’t let it out. Because we are ashamed or think we are not good enough. But the point is: all this is wrong. It’s important that YOU have a good time with you. That you have something where you can let out what is inside you. It’s not important how strangers like your design. It is more important that you like it and that you have a good feeling while you are working.
This year I have learned a lot about myself. And painting was the key for me.
Hi. It’s me. Jana. My first steps with writing in englisch. I like language as much as I like to create with colour. Both as a sign of communication. Communication with the world. I try my best and I will learn. More about me and more about the function of language.
I hope you like it and you are my companion on my journey.
