Our summer wedding in the garden - part VI
Our summer wedding in the garden - part VI
Next was cutting the wedding cake. Our imperfect Pisa wedding cake, as this cake decided over night to drop to one side. My sister and me were doing it the day before and the plan was to give it the final finish the next day but when I opened the fridge in the morning I saw an uneven cake. We fixed it a bit an then decided not to add more as it may fall completely to one side. Nevertheless, the cutting worked without ruining it and it tasted wonderful.
Everybody was now completely relaxed after the ceremony. There was music playing in the garden and plenty of people were enjoying chatting and eating and enjoying the day. We took the opportunity to walk around and talk to everyone, sit down here and there and capture every moment while always looking out for each other and smile happily. We weren't able to take our eyes off each other. After a while friends of my sister arrived to prepare the summer barbecue we planned as dinner. They were more than professional as almost invisible and did a great job.
We've got lots of wonderful feedback for the variety of the dinner and especially for the quality and taste which is also a thanks to our barbecue masters. We prepared everything the other day but only if you know how to prepare it on the fire it will end up perfect.
Our dessert was a big buffet of fresh fruits with a double chocolate fountain on top and it seems as if what one of the highlights for many. They were gathering around it as if there's no tomorrow.

My best friend came and told me embarrassed that she forgot to hand out the happy tears handkerchiefs but that she gave them now to all guests and that was exactly the right thing. There were no tears during the ceremony but after we arrived we started again music - Van Morrison with these are the days - and I started my bridal speech. Standing next to my husband in front of all of my family and friends I felt exited, emotional, happy - all at once. I had so much on my notes but ended up talking freely instead of reading what I wrote down. Welcoming all was the easiest part but when I started to talk to my parents and about his parents it was the moment when tears started to run and handkerchiefs were needed. My sister came quickly to give me a handkerchief as well and after all was said we've got applause from all.
My husband told me later that evening that it was one of the most appreciated things I did that day and that he never expected me to mention his parents as well as I unfortunately never met them. But I knew how important they are for him and they are as well for me as they are the reason for him being alive and being now my husband.

The reception started and everyone was hugging and congratulating while saying cheers to the couple, handing over gifts and flowers. I just felt like the happiest person on earth at that moment. We had all our loved ones around us and the moment was perfect.
As this villa were we married has big stairs into a garden we told the photographer upfront that we would like to have a picture of the whole wedding party exactly there on the stairs with my little cousin as flower girl in front of us. She was proud to have these important tasks - she was also responsible to bring us the wedding rings during the ceremony. So cute!
Time to throw the bouquet. I started to pick up all the single women and went up the staircase. They were gathering behind me and after I threw it I glimpsed while turning around that my best friend was almost jumping like a basketball player to get the bouquet.
After the reception all guests started to drive or walk to our garden and we stayed with the photographer and went straight out into the beautiful summer afternoon for some sun-kissed, romantic bride and groom photos.
The plan was that we arrive in our garden when all guests were sitting and had coffee or tea in front of them so that I can start my bridal speech before we cut the cake and open the cake buffet.
What I wasn't aware of and I think my husband although hadn't planned it like that is that he asked me after we parked the car if I want to walk up the street towards our house. I was wondering what he meant, why shouldn't I be able to walk these 100 meters? All of a sudden he grabbed me and started to carry me towards the garden. Unfortunately no one was aware that he will do that so only a few saw our arrival and we don't have pictures of him carrying his wife. But the surprise was so lovely that I will never forget it.

Mom and my best friend left 5 min earlier than me and dad so that we were really the last ones to arrive at the ceremony. My best friend was carrying our happy tears handkerchiefs as she was intended to give them to the guests.
I was driving as I have a company car and dad is not allowed to drive it without permission from the company so I decided a modern bride can drive herself. It was much stress and all of a sudden this stress was gone when I stepped out of the car and was walking at dad's side towards the ceremony. Our photographer was waiting for the first shots of the arriving bride and two of my best friends were waiting in front of the old villa to wish me good luck.
When the music started the door opened and I wasn't able to stop smiling. There he was standing, waiting for me, my love, kissing me slightly when he took my hand. He was desperate for me to arrive as he was standing there alone in front of all our guests which were mostly my family and friends. I chose "I'm ready" from Bryan Adams for my arrival as it was exactly how I felt. Glad to be together we sat down and started to listen to all the officer told us. Our translator explained everything to my husband and his uncle and finally we had to answer the question we were waiting for. Yes, I do! Yes, I do!
Then we were announced husband and wife.
Woohoo - officially, legally married, husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs. K.
I never imagined how it may feel and can just say, it was wonderful!
My little cousin brought the wedding rings and it wasn't that easy for my husband to get it on my finger. This ring is really sitting tight and I love it!
After changing the wedding rings, signing up the document with our witnesses and the congratulations of the officer the music started again and we walked out of the room into a sunbathed park full of flowers and singing birds. "You'll never walk alone" from Mathou as leaving the ceremony song.

I drove to the hairdresser during lunchtime. My husband-to-be was happy to have this time for himself to get ready without me bothering him with questions "think about...have you...what if...". When I came back home he welcomed me fully dressed and he looked amazing!
From that time on he wasn't allowed to go upstairs anymore where I intended to get ready but he enjoyed the fully decorated garden already while having coffee with his uncle.
While I was running in circles in jeans and t-shirt and my done wedding hair to fix the last details he left as he was supposed to leave half an hour before me.
My intention was to have 30-40 minutes for myself before I had to leave just to have a quick shower, get the last finish on my makeup, step freshly into my dress and put on the earrings, the new bracelet, etc. Plans are there to be ruined, aren't they? Honestly, I ended up with roughly 15 min. During these 15 min. Dad was reminding me every felt 5 seconds that we have to go, that I need to hurry, that he's ready downstairs and just waiting for me to come down.
I think he was even more exited than me as he would lead me down the aisle where my husband would wait. And another point that I'm his eldest daughter and the first who married.
I'm glad that I always was a perfectionist although it's not one of my best habits but on the wedding day it was helping. I already had make up on so it was quickly pimped and the evening before the wedding I had a long bath so a quick shower was really enough to feel still bridal.

There are those long, hot Summer days that just seem to go on for ever and that usually end in an evening of sitting outide, drinking, chatting and laughing. Our wedding at the garden of my parents was exactly one of these days. The most perfect weather for a wedding you could imagine and a perfect location in which to enjoy it. From start to end it was a wonderful, sunny, happy day and we so enjoyed it.
On the morning of the wedding we still had lots to prepare although we did a good job the days before. But as always, there are many small things which need time and I loved to see how everyone was helping us along to make it happen in time and for us to have an amazing wedding. We can't say Thanks often enough for that.
My husbands uncle and aunt arrived shortly before I had to leave for the hairdresser and gave me the first touching moment of the day. My husbands parents died years ago and he had a watch his dad gave to him to wear it on his wedding day, I liked this story already and reminded him not to forget to wear this special watch. His uncle is the brother of his mum and his wife came to me with a small present. She explained me that this is something she received from my mum in law when she married her brother and she thought it to be perfect for me now. A silver bracelet which is the most perfect gift for me. It has even the style I like so much and fits as if it's meant to be. That was honestly the best and most precious gift I received that day!

Our honeymoon is booked...
Our honeymoon is booked...
One of the last steps of the wedding preparation is done.
I finally booked our honeymoon - yeah - Ibiza, we will come for two weeks!!!
I honestly can't wait for the relaxation part to start soon. Sure the wedding itself will be the most exciting part but I feel more and more tired of planning.
To have holidays in near sight gives me a good feeling as we can relax completely as Mr.&Mrs. then.
Why Ibiza and not the typical spots like Maldives, Seychelles or Caribbean Sea?
Who wants more than 10 hours flight time if we have so nice places just around the corner? We don't want to start the honeymoon with a jet lag.
Ibiza for sure is well known as a party island but what we did is checking quiet places not near to the tourist region and we found something hopefully nice with the sea in walking distance and empty beaches around us. If we need action we still can drive into these areas. Most important for us was a quiet place, palm trees to sit below with a book, beaches where you don't have to lay down between strangers, a small hotel with breakfast outside instead of standing in a row for the buffet and so on.
I will for sure let you know if we made the right choice but I have no doubts.
The smaller island on the picture is Formentera, we may take a boat trip for one day to check it as well.
Enjoy the sunny week as best as you can.
Yours,
MissFaith

Insanity or just a bride to be?
Insanity or just a bride to be?
Did you ever plan a wedding?
My wedding ticker on the web is telling me "31 days to go". And yes, you got it, I have a wedding ticker. Is that still me?!?
I tried to look at myself and what I'm up to during these days and realized that I am one of these brides I was joking about before. If you would have asked me how to marry the clear answer was in the same second "just a tiny formal celebration and then off to honeymoon". Where is this woman now?
I catch myself being more on google and wedding web pages than sleeping.
And I start to make these noises. You know, these bride noises when she's looking at something soooo cute, like "Aaaaaah" and "Ooooooh", which means "I need that too!"
My husband to be is already asking me almost daily if we are still within the budget. Me, the one who tried to save where possible, seeing myself thinking about wedding bubbles where the price is three times higher than for normal ones.
Is that phenomenon normal or is it just me going insane?
But at least I'm still able to judge properly and I don't know how exactly but yes, I kept the budget (so far).
31 days and while the day is getting closer I seem to relax mainly. Mainly because my subconsciousness seems to have another sight. A few days ago I woke up and knew that I dreamt of an awful wedding but luckily I wasn't able to recall details.
As nice and perfect as a wedding should be, it's a bit scary too, isn't it? It's not that I have doubts, not at all. It's more than sure that I will say "Yes, I do!", I mean the whole day. Will it be like we want it to be? Do we have higher expectations than what's possible? And how will I survive my speech? Yes, the bride's speech. Which is unusual, I know, but I said I will do it and now I have to. No way back. Just because I did it more than often in my job doesn't mean I will get a word out on my wedding day - this was my personal misjudging. Here we go, the bride will look like a zombie while crying and trying to finish a sentence in front of all. I have to rehearse before but it will never reflect the situation...lets hope I'm doing it at least with not too many tears and interruptions.
For the time being I'm just happy that almost everything is prepared and planned so I have around 20 days to calm down. How to do that best? Any tips - they are more than welcome.
Still faithfully,
Miss Faith

Wedding traditions
Wedding traditions
Which wedding traditions do we want on our wedding day and what is completely not our style?
There are so many typical things and some are even "expected" by guests but what we decided is to make our day as comfortable for us as we want it.
So here's a list of traditions we will/may have:
- the husband is not allowed to see the bridal gown before the wedding day! That's for sure.
- the wedding kiss - maybe even double as my husband could kiss my forehead also as this is more convenient to him.
- something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
- the husband has to be at the registry office or the place where the wedding will take place before the bride arrives. My dad will guide me into the room.
- a little girl which will bring the wedding bands to the couple
- flower petals, this is a maybe as we have to check first if it is allowed.
- cutting the wedding cake
- witnesses, even if they aren't officially needed nowadays. They will be his uncle and my dad. Quite nice as we have a Libyan tradition inserted where both, bride and groom, have an older married man as witness.
- gifts for the bride's parents, sisters and brothers from the groom and vice versa (means from the bride to the groom's family)
- to feed each other as sign of the caring for each other. It can be milk, dates or the first piece of the wedding cake.
- carry the wife over the threshold.
- a morning giving
What we for sure don't want:
- spending the night before the wedding apart.
- hen night
- dancing
- bridesmaids
- kidnapping the bride
- a penny in the shoe, I will wear sandals
- wedding newspaper
- doves
- games
- veil dance
The list may grow on on both sides, I have the feeling as if we are still at the beginning of our planning although many things are prepared or planned already.
If you have nice ideas please which aren't listed here please share them - at least the bride can never get enough hints and tips on what's possible...
Greetings from the bride to be, Miss Faith

What is perfect?
What is perfect?
There's a big confrontation nowadays with a so-called perfectionism.
I think it's more for women but even men see everywhere how they should be, what they have to wear, drive, eat or work to be the perfect man.
While flipping through a women's magazine it was hard to find at least one topic which wasn't about how women should be. The majority of the pages were full of perfect models in perfect clothes eating the perfect food while sitting in a perfect home taking care of their perfect family.
Woohoo, what a sentence. The world wants us to believe that being perfect is the most important thing of life whereas it for sure isn't. Am I happy if I would live the life they show us? Never!
I love my imperfect life just the way it is!
Keep the faith!

Can't wait for more warm days and walking bare feet through grass again!

The Wedding Dress
The Wedding Dress
I never imagined how hard it can be to find a wedding dress.
I always said I'm not the typical woman when it comes to a wedding. Never dreamt of being a princess for one day. And then I detect myself in front of thousands of dresses to like some which fit totally in the picture of a princess.
Was that the flood of pictures or what was it? At least I'm glad that I realized it myself before doing the final choice. What could be worse than walking down the aisle in a dress which let everyone stare at me in disbelief - murmuring "where's she, that couldn't be her?" or "what drugs is she taking recently?".
But even with a clear mind I still had the problem of 'being a woman'. How should we choose one when there are so many nice styles?
I reduced it a bit by buying the shoes and the bag before the dress which is limiting the dress style itself a bit and fortunately NO princess dress is going along with my shoes!
So what to do now? Once bought its yours, and if alterations have been made its even more yours.
Here the realistic Miss Faith started to think - as realistic as a bride to be - I have to add this as brides are never 100% realistic.
We will celebrate in a garden which means long trains don't make sense as well as dresses who are too expensive. Who wants the bride to stay in the house the whole day because she's too scared that she may have grass ruining her dress?
Our wedding should be kind of laid-back, summer, garden, loved ones around us, a big summer barbecue with a chocolate fountain as dessert. Kids running around maybe with ice cream when it's hot in August.
The realistic bride decided now to order a dress from China, the prices are more than OK, reviews of the dresses more than Ok and I don't have to worry in the end if something is happening to my dress.
The only thing I have to worry about is how long it will take until its here and if its fitting properly.
And here comes the "being a woman" Miss Faith - to be on the safe side I just ordered two different dresses from two different sellers and the total price is more than good so I won't have to worry about little chocolate hands passing by my dress or pieces of cake falling in my lap.
I like both styles so much that I'm not able right now to decide which one it will be in the end and I would love to post picture here to hear your opinions but the groom knows the blog and he is not allowed to get a clue of what I may wear!
Now it's time to keep fingers crossed until they hopefully arrive and I can make the final decision.
The story will continue...
Keep the faith - you only win if you take a risk sometimes.

The Wedding Wish Jar
The Wedding Wish Jar
I read a few weeks ago about a nice idea for the wedding party.
The wedding wish jar, comes from the US, and is a glass where guests put little notes in on which they pin down wishes, tips, nice words for the newlyweds.
We are not connected to the US at all but I want this jar on my wedding as I like the idea.
It's even nice to say we take it with us on honeymoon afterwards to read in peace what our guests wrote and recap like this the happiness from our wedding day.
That's our wedding wish jar, which hopefully soon is filled with lots of notes.

Wedding maniac
Wedding maniac
My intention was to write posts during my days off around Easter and what happened?
Google seems to be my best friend nowadays and I spent time on thousands of bridal dress pages, wedding tradition pages, wedding planning pages, wedding...pages.
Here comes the wedding maniac - that's the new nick name my husband to be gave me shortly.
But that's how women are, isn't it. I would be scared if I'm not planning and checking and organizing and and and - I told him he has to appreciate it as a sign of my love for him and to have the day planned as best as possible ;-)
I promise to try my best and write 'updates' from time to time.

I’m happy when . . .
I’m happy when . . .
...whenever my husband is around me...
Not around me like a person who needs to make me laugh or as entertainment, no, it's more the feeling of being sheltered, being around the person I love.
...when I have chocolate somewhere in my flat.
Chocolate makes happy and that's true as I know I'm not happy if I want to have a piece and the box is empty.
...when the sun is shining.
Light, especially sunlight, is essential for me. Winter times are depressive as its dark and cold but as soon as I feel the warmth of sunlight on my skin in spring I'm happy.
...whenever I have nothing to do than relax and spend time on writing, sleeping, reading or listening to music.
There's so much to do on normal working days that I cherish these happy moments.
...I finally bought the shoes I wanted so desperately.
Women, I know, but there are times when I see a pair of shoes and am unsure, then it seems as if they drop themselves into my view as I discover the same pair in several stores, as if they hunt me. When bought it makes me and my feet happy!
And what happens if you ask a man to finish the sentence - this is the answer from my husband:
...when I watch the final of the champions league and Real Madrid is beating Barcelona 6:0.
Enjoy and take care,
Miss Faith

Stay with me...always!
Stay with me...always!
Another stay...has come to an end...
For almost the whole last month we had time together, my husband was back home here with me and we had lots of things to plan. The wedding should take place in August and we will not be able to have an actual date until all our documents are submitted in May and reviewed by the German registry office.
Nevertheless we should have a plan in place by then on how to organize things quickly as we cannot move the wedding to a later date - all docs have to be 'not older than six months'.
Besides I was working full time this time and had no holidays in between as these vacation days are also needed in August and September. A tough time where we had small fights due to me being stressed and nervous from work but even more lovely moments until deep in the nights.
You want to spend as much time as possible together and therefore the evenings were extended up to two or sometimes even later in the night. Snuggling up in front of a movie, talking, eating, just time for us. The result is a major lack of sleep and the knowing that it won't be easier with every goodbye. No, it's getting worse. I thought we will get used to it to be apart and then back together but the truth is that I can't wait for the day when we have one home where we both belong to without saying goodbye for two months.
This evening is kind of strange as I'm back to the being alone status and I don't like it.
Skype will be started later on and no more real hugs and kisses.
I will start to write more again during the next weeks now, at least this is time filled with sense and I know my love will read it over there.
Stay faithful!

Leisure time
Leisure time
Now that my "husband / fiancé / husband to be" is here with me I try my best to have as much leisure time as possible for us. We decided that I will not take too many vacation days during his stay as we for sure need them. A few for a short trip maybe in May or June and most of them for our planned wedding and honeymoon in late summer.
Now I'm struggling between work, being a good wife and enjoying the precious time we have together.
Who ever said life is easy has never tried to change his old behaviors. Whenever I'm alone I don't care too much after a long working day on how to spend the evening. I'll find something to eat in front of TV and that's it. Being together now means I change these habits as I want to have a nice proper dinner and a cosy relaxed evening.
Why am I writing just now you may think - I just sit on the couch next to my husband who is focussing completely on a movie, rarely noticing if I say something ;-)
Men and action movies, I watch them only if we made a compromise like today action but therefore tomorrow comedy or romance...so tomorrow it's my turn to focus on a movie.
He deserves his time out really as we have been on the first big family gathering last weekend and he was in the focus of almost my whole family. Twenty five persons all keen to meet my precious one. This weekend will be just ours and the plan is to do nothing except of eating, snuggling up, watching movies and having a cosy time. Leisure time as its best.
Take care and cherish the moments!

Wedding brainstorming - part I
Wedding brainstorming - part I
My mind is crowded during these days with everything related to our planned wedding.
A wedding is exciting but what do you think a binational wedding is? I didn't thought that it's so hard to plan as you need to keep in mind the timeframe.
Biggest problem for us will be the final date.
As long as all personal documents from my future husband are under review we just can stay calm and wait for a reply. This reply is essential for the further planning as it could be good, means everything is ok and we can go ahead and schedule a date, but it could also be that we have to bring something additional and the whole package has to be send in again for a review.
As not even one of these papers has to be older than six month we are facing a tight schedule.
What does it mean exactly? It means we have to plan a whole wedding within a half year but we won't be sure until around eight weeks before the wedding if it could really take place or if we have to start the whole process again.
Did someone ever planned a wedding within six month? I think that's already a challenge but what about eight weeks?
The main problem is that we cannot invite someone more than eight weeks before as we will not have a date. And who will be able to confirm his or her attendance without exact dates?
Therefore we have no clue how many guests we will have, how much food we need or which location will fit.
A wedding planner will quit his job at this stage as its almost impossible to book a location within eight weeks unless you don't care about how it looks like. I do care! The last I want for my wedding is a crappy location. To get out of this challenge we said we will have a small intimate celebration with just family and best friends around so that all will fit in the garden of my parents house.
This plan was nice until some became aware of our upcoming wedding.
The draft guest list went from around twenty five to fourth five within a couple of weeks.
It seems as if our loved ones are sure they will be able to attend without knowing a date, which is causing us the next problem. My parents garden is really so nice but it's not a park!
Where to start and where to stop now? I have no idea, my fiancé will be here with me in a few days and I can't wait to discuss all these things with him face to face instead of talking on Skype with interrupted connections from time to time.
Until then I try to stay calm and stop thinking too much. Everything happens for a reason and I believe in it even when reality let me struggle from time to time. As long as I can think it was fine in the end.
Faithfully, Miss Faith

Changing my Job?
Changing my Job?
Do you know the feeling of being fed up after working more than ten years in the same area? I have it and I'm more and more thinking what I may do for a living with having the enthusiasm I had when I started my current job.
The problem is that I'm stucked in my area when it comes to experience and almost all employers ask for experienced staff and are not hiring newbies.
But am I really stucked or is it only my mind?
I spent the last couples of weeks more and more with thinking about what to do instead of my current job. And what I realized is that there is always another possibility.
Our experience is never only job based, it's cumulative experience of what you did at work, how you grew as human, what you experienced in life and how you are going on with others.
The school of life is a never ending one and we went through class after class, some realize it and think about it, others just take it as it is.
What am I currently?
I'm a project manager in the clinical research area, I'm a thirty five year old woman who is finally planning a life together with my love like a grown up, I'm interested in several topics like music, art, writing, personality, traveling, psychology, and so on.
A previous blog post which I wrote myself just brought me on the next idea. If I wouldn't see a reason in writing posts up to now, that is the moment where I appreciate at least for myself. I'm sure if I would never have pinned it down somewhere I wouldn't had realized.
It was about the training I attended in Madrid and just opened my eyes once again.
If I am a project manager, what does it mean? It means I'm able to handle project and in the best case bring them to a successful end.
So why am I stucked in the research area? I'm not, I just have to find out thoroughly what area could be handled by me.
My goal is to change in near future into the travel planning area. But not the planning for typical tourists who go into an agency and book the two week all-inclusive holidays once per year. that would be boring, at least for me.
I want challenges and contact and real planning instead of typing dates into a system which delivers me a certain choice of offers to book.
When I travelled with my best friend to the Caribbean a luxury travel agency was handling everything for us. These agencies are consulted by people with enough money to spend. Persons who don't care if the costs are more than expected when the result is fulfilling their expectations.
Why do I think that I'm able to do it?
One of my strengths is communication, if I communicate with clients, doctors or heads of hospitals or if I communicate with airlines, hotels, guides or restaurant, there is not a big difference, in the end the result has to be fine.
If I go through my strengths I can see the parallels, I just have to switch them to another area.
Scheduling appointments with different persons in my current job or scheduling when which of my clients in traveling would like his breakfast, lunch or dinner is nearly the same.
Planning and organizing is my day to day work since more than ten years, instead of planning my business trip I am sure to be able to plan leisure trips for others. I've been in many different hotels in my life so far and checking somebody into a three star hotel instead of the five star he wants is something which wouldn't happen as I know the differences in standard. But I also know that five stars aren't the same all over the world.
What else? English fluently and in writing as well as handling different computer systems is not a real challenge.
So what am I waiting for? Honestly, my fixed salary at the moment as I know we need it to plan the next two years. But this means also that I have the next two years time for research in traveling. Where are the agencies I would love to work for, how is the range of salaries for people stepping in from the side without the typical education, what do I need to have on my CV before applying and many more.
Anyone who has experience is very welcome to comment and send me some tips or website links, I would love to learn as much as I can upfront!
Thanks and never lose the faith, we are more than we think and not limited just because we chose something years ago.

Love beyond words
Lessons learned during my stay in Italy...
Even if you lost a battle in love never stop to believe in it!
It will hit you when the time is right and then:

How to create a Facebook page?!?
How to create a Facebook page?!?
I don't know if I'm just too stupid or if Facebook is not making this task easy for users.
Miss Faith should have a Facebook page to distribute the posts on another channel as well.
The first problem was that I have a private Facebook account where I'm connected to family, friends and colleagues but as said, this is private.
You may ask yourself now if and for what reason I want to hide my activity completely from them. It's not about 'hiding' but to be honest I don't want to have them commenting just to please me and I also don't want some of them to know what I'm doing in my private time as long as I'm still "rehearsing". My closest friends will be or already are aware but first of all my aim is to get real feedback. And last but not least I have some Facebook "friends" which were maybe real friends years ago but aren't actually present in my real life as well as colleagues, which don't have to know me in a more private way. I restricted some of them already on my account but we all know how stories, news or gossip is spreading quickly. If they find the page themselves, then ok, but I don't want "secret agents" there.
During the last years we always heard lots of discussions about privacy in regards to Facebook and the last thing I want is that all of them are aware of this page. So what did I do?
I started another account with another email address. Miss Faith wasn't taken as name because according to Facebook "Miss" is not considered a first name so here we go, Missie Faith has now a 'private' account.
I'm still wondering how many of the celeb kids will be able to register as Hazel, Peanut or Peach...
Nevertheless, Missie was created and after the click on 'create a page' I was able to have finally a "Miss Faith" page.
I hope that I will not turn into a schizophrenic with all these pseudonyms.
Miss Faith's page needed a set up and this was and still is the next big task. When trying to share posts it was sometimes "Missie" sharing them and sometimes "Miss Faith" - here I need to find a rule to fix it. But the best is for the moment that I'm now temporarily blocked.
Thanks to Facebook.
They blocked me because of too much uploads within a certain time, the certain time is invisible to me as it seems to be their secret. I just got the message that I may abuse the system or bother my friends too much with a high amount of uploads. Very funny, which friends? This page was just created and before trying to get friends or "fans" it needs a set up. Who will click "I like" on an empty page?
Their second secret is how long the blocking will last. The information I got is that it can last from a few hours up to thirty days. That's really specific. And even worse, as soon as I try to upload something and am still blocked they may prolong it - aargh.
It is as if I say to a friend please don't call me within the next hours up to maybe thirty days and if you try it within this period I may prolong the time not answering your calls.
Now it means for me I have to be patient, one of my worst characteristics. I'm not patient if I want something and they force me to be.
If I finally succeed and can move forward in setting this up I will be really carefully.
Yours, trying to be patient, Miss Faith

Could writing be my destiny?
Could writing be my destiny?
Sometimes I'm thinking if I could be able to make a living out of writing, if I'm able to set up a plot in a direction that others like to read it. The main problem currently is that I have no idea when and where to start. There are stories popping up out of my fantasy and vanish as I haven't the time to sit down in this very moment to get them on paper.
And what about all the thousands of rules authors should keep in mind? If you start to google it will bring you even more away from the initial idea as it seems to be so complicated. On the other hand I cannot imagine that all the big authors were sitting in front of their drafts to check them for rules. Isn't the miracle to pin down what your fantasy is telling you? Sure there are re-reads and corrections needed but is that the most important?
On the other hand the main problem is to find the time besides a full-time job and a relationship. I cannot start to write during working hours and my husband would be annoyed and think I have a big spleen if I would focus the remaining time on writing instead of a couples life.
A never ending circle where I have to find a way to break through.
The first step for me at the moment is my writing here. This is at least a good opportunity to check for myself if there are persons outside of my comfort zone which may like to read what I write. And even this is not as easy as I thought.
How many blogs do we have on the web? I never started to count as this would be a 24/7 job for the next weeks. It seems as if I'm not the only one trying my writing skills in front of an audience. A blog needs to be cared about and to be updated, improved, adapted and so many things more. Also a permanent audience is something you need to work on. No one will just step over my personal blog and think I'm the greatest writer ever without me feeding him or her with new stories. Stories are the next key point. Which stories exactly meet the audience I would like to see for myself, this is again a key to find out and needs efforts from my side. So bottom line, where am I now after around seventy published posts?
Yes, right away at the start. The time where I discover day by day a writing style, how to find post ideas and discover what I like to write about.
One thing I learned already for myself is that the story of Miss Faith is a life story where not everything is fitting which is randomly popping up on my mind. So if you haven't seen it yet, for all my random thoughts about different aspects in life, pictures I love or quotes which inspire me I opened a second blog called "Random thoughts" (misssfaithrandom.blogspot.de).
Is that all? Again a surely said no. I need to find ways to distribute what I'm writing, means different channels to get a bigger audience. For the time being I started with this blogspot account and connected it to google+ and twitter. Next step is to create a Facebook page for Miss Faith. This task is a big challenge, at least for me. Why is that? As it will be another story to tell stay tuned, there will be a post about my struggles while creating it soon.
Last key, and here I need you, are comments on my posts. I would love to get some feedback on everything. Everything means do you like how I write, the topics I'm writing about, how this blog is set up, what do you think in general about "Miss Faith"? I don't want to be pampered, if you dislike it please tell me also as this is the only opportunity for me to improve.
Thanks and take care,
Yours Miss Faith
