More than 20 years ago my trees lead me to Italy and I was allowed to live in Florence for 6 months - without speaking a word of Italian. A few years earlier, I had healed myself with the power of these magical olive trees and then, against great resistance, followed my intuition on the path of my trees. My dream was to become an olive farmer with 10,000 olive trees, to share the magical of these trees with the world. However, 6 months in Florence had brought me down to earth as I was unable to generate any income during this time.

A few days before Easter and I was devastated. The dream of becoming an olive farmer seemed unattainable. The next morning I made the decision to quit my apartment and go back to Germany... and then the doorbell rang for the first time in all these months.

A priest stood there with an olive branch in his hand. I couldn't believe my eyes and called for my neighbor to translate. He wants to go to your apartment, he said...and what does he want, I asked...he wants to bless you and your apartment with his holy olive branch. I was speechless and invited him in to me. He blessed each room and then me. Then he handed me the olive branch and said for more than 7000 years it has been the symbol of resurrection, hope, peace and love and then he disappeared.

This moment changed my life forever for a second time. Even today I get goosebumps just thinking about it. I feel blessed, protected and supported and in deep connection. I am proud and grateful to be able to share this magical journey with so many wonderful people like you.

Happy Easter.
