Finding Purpose - Song of my Life - Kristine van DoorenAuthor: Kristine van Dooren
Finding purpose in life is what we all long for. It doesnt matter how old you are, or where you live, or how many roads in this life you have already traveled. Happiness and contentment, and purpose, is what we all hope to find one day. My name is Kristine van Dooren. I am from California but I have lived most of my life in Germany. I would like to tell you my story, which I wrote and was published in German, in 2007. The title of the book is Das Lied meines Lebens which means, The Song of my Life. Let me tell you about it.

I hope you enjoyed my story about the long-lost letter. Well, to my great surprise, my friend Rosemary, found another one, this time by Thomas, written one week later. He was also congratulating our friends, on the new baby, but he included a lot more details about the changes going on at the ranch. I recognized his orderly, and easy to read, penmanship right away. Without even seeing the contents, I know that it is from “my” Thomas. It reminds me of home, our life together, that started with a letter he wrote in 1970. This is the beauty ofknowing people by their handwriting, an aspect of relationships that is mostly lost today. I still love looking at my parent’s cards, and letters that my daughters wrote, over the years, they are so personal. Even the paper or the card, or the time it took to write, reveals a bit of the culture back in the day. You can hold it, pass it around, or save it in a box with your other precious notes.
