And why I believe that we need to disconnect as much as possible...

DO YOU SAY YES OR NO TO LIFE? What's the reason that you get up in the morning? Because you do every day? Or because you have a special reason?   A little outtake: “When I say yes to this day, I remind myself why I am saying yes today. You remember my phrase. I say yes because I chose to play, create, love, care, explore, have fun and experience the world fully and totally, all the time. Dear list...

Hi, I'm Anna and this is a short outtake from my latest episode where I talk about THE SINGING ICE.
