Guardian Angels exist - And everyone should be an organ donor!

Sometimes fate plays us hard and keeps us on a rollercoaster of emotions...
Against all odds my sister's friend got the 1 in 10 Million chance to be gifted the chance for a third life.

There must be someone out there watching over him, someone with immense powers!
Now all he has to do is fight for this third life. He will make it, I am sure!


Please, please, please, everyone: Become an organ donor! It saves lives and is there a better gift to give?

About missing some essentials

If you had asked me a couple of weeks ago whether I can live without a cellphone for a week, I would have promptly answered YES. Now I can honeslty say, I might be able to live without a cellphone but not without a smartphone. My beloved iPhone got stolen and I had to “work” with my private phone for a week. That is a phone in the sense our parents use it. To call – and it can write text messages – but anything else goes beyond its capabilities. Coming back home from Barcelona without a phone was the first of many challenges until I had internet again. Without my phone I have no calendar which means I have no idea what time my flights are or what reservation number I have to use for check-in. How did we do that before smartphones? The following week until I got the new iPhone was horrible. I felt disconnected from the world, cut off. 7 long days before I was back on What’s App… Wow!!! I wasn't aware I used it that often and therefore could miss a piece of electronics that much! Besides my phone, which I am never letting out of sight anymore now, I lost something else last week. My voice! Not having stayed in bed for a major cold a couple of weeks ago struck me down last week in the sense of me completely losing my voice and not being able to say a word anymore. The whisper that came out of my mouth if I said something took a great deal of effort from my side and also pain in my throat. The doctor had an easy job here: Don’t speak for three days, drink plenty of fluids and for heaven’s sake, rest! He forbid me to talk for three days and ordered me to stay at home and read the book I always wanted to read. Now here I was again, in the silent world… But although I was in my Basel apartment all alone and not speaking, singing, humming or anything else I didn’t feel isolated. I had my iPhone and many really nice messages, chats,…. from friends all over who wished me well and told me to get better very soon. So now that I have both back again I have to admit, if I had to choose what to give up again for a week, I think it would be an easy decision for me: The iVoice. :)
