Project Overview
Every day is an opportunity to say «merci». With your support, I want to create a space for inspiring encounters and social interaction. «treffpunkt merci» should not just be a café, but a home where your needs are taken seriously. Whether you have coeliac disease, are vegan, vegetarian or omnivorous: There will be something delicious for everyone. Become part of my vision and let's make «treffpunkt merci» a reality!

Full and complete trust
Have you also been lucky enough to have difficult situations in your life resolved due to synchronicity or your belief that everything would work out for the better in the end? Or, looking back, did you realise with gratitude what disaster had been avoided because your momentary wishes had not been fulfilled?
This has happened to me very frequently, which has always strengthened my immense trust in life.
Today, the weather has kindly reminded me that I can't fight thick fog. Nevertheless, I can be patient and look forward to the arrival of the sun and blue skies in due time.
Since the birth of my vision in summer 2019, I feel like a caterpillar that has fed itself with ideas and wishes and has grown bigger and bigger as the vision has developed and become more precise.
I don't know whether a caterpillar realises that it will one day become a butterfly and whether it is looking forward to this transformation ... I must admit that this wait often seems endless and unbearable!
Last September, I was convinced that my project was now ready to enter the next phase and evolve under the eyes of others (and not just under the protection of my heart), and I jumped into the unknown.
From October onwards, however, several unforeseen events occurred that made the development of my project increasingly difficult, if not impossible for the time being. My head tried to ignore the signs as best it could. So many people had joined in, were counting on me and following my progress closely! I didn't want to let them down ... so the gap between my dream and reality grew bigger and bigger and became harder and harder to accept.
Today I realised that the last few weeks have been like this morning's dense fog. Or, like the caterpillar's enforced (although necessary!) stay in its chrysalis.
I so wish I could have gone straight to the butterfly stage!!! But the butterfly's struggle to emerge from its chrysalis is essential and helps it release a chemical that strengthens its wings and builds the muscles needed to be able to fly when the time comes.
Until the day my café «treffpunkt merci» opens, I will certainly have the opportunity to discover the hidden gifts and gained benefits of the last few weeks!
The weather this morning has reminded me that I can only benefit from this if I trust and let go completely (again), without trying to influence the course of life with my mind, which would be a hopeless battle anyway. My ego has great difficulty accepting this reality. My heart, on the other hand, seems to know that everything will happen in its own time if it has to happen.
I humbly ask for your patience until things start to move again and my project takes flight, and I thank you with all my heart.
Gratefully yours,
Virginie
