Was ist der Mehrwert dieses Buches? Diese Frage kann ich nicht beantworten. Ich habe es geschrieben, weil ich gar nicht anders konnte. Die Worte sprudelten nur so aus mir heraus und formten sich zu Texten. Eine innere Stimme in mir flüsterte, dass es Menschen geben wird, die Freude an diesem Buch haben werden. Ich kann dir nicht sagen, ob du einer dieser Menschen bist. Ich habe mich mit jedem Text einen Schritt mehr befreit, den Weg zu mir gefunden und Wertvolles über mich selbst erfahren. ...
