Time for My Dreams – How I Learned to Trust Life Again


What Truly Matters –

A Heartfelt Story of Second Chances and Unexpected Friendships

What happens when all your dreams collapse like a house of cards? That’s the question facing a newly separated 38-year-old woman - until a chance encounter with Lotte, an older woman, and her friends Anita and Johann changes everything. What begins as a casual meeting soon blossoms into a deep and transformative friendship.

Through warm, humorous, and profound conversations, the trio shares their most powerful life lessons - moving stories of missed opportunities, true connection, and the courage to follow one’s heart. Slowly, the young woman begins to understand which doors she must open to let happiness back into her life.
