It’s been 3 years & No Fears!

Greetings Beautiful Souls,

Wow. #wow

It’s amazing to think that nearly 3 years have passed since I took a break from this wildly successful blog. The truth was – I needed some ME Time. #ownyourstory

But now, I am ready to share my light with you again. I know you need it, more than ever. I’m not an Angel. I’m not a Dove. I’m just Lynn: a woman navigating a health-filled, sober life in Berlin…

That’s Sober Lynn!

Sharing my story, and giving so much of myself left me feeling drained. Most people assume that I float through life because of my natural beauty, ideal physical body type, and kind heart… but being a spiritual person takes work, and kindness can be draining. #keepyourcupfull

People often wonder… which came first: my beauty or my kindness? Do I see the world with so much happiness, joy, potential and hope — because my entire life people have always responded with such adoration to the way I look? If so, this was certainly out my control. #giftsfromtheuniverse

This is the time I did a Yoga Retreat in Kansas. They didn’t have soft towels #forgiven

Although I am blessed beyond belief, it doesn’t mean I don’t take complete ownership and control over my life. #ownit

I am going to be honest, and raw, and be real with you, Beautiful Souls. I’m going to speak my truth. The truth can be scary, but I have always been fearless and brave and effortlessly authentic.

I experienced a re-lapse before the pandemic, which set me in a downward spiral. #youcanheal

This may come as a shock to many of you, but Nick was cheating on me. #breathe

I know. It seems unimaginable to think that someone could be so blessed to have the opportunity to be intimate with *ME*, and then betray my trust with such disregard. #forgive

Nick was a homosexual. He explained that because of my healthy lifestyle, my natural glow, my beauty, my intelligence — he thought he had finally met a girl he could truly love — he thought he was bisexual. But in truth, he was just a selfish liar, a self-hating gay man, and a delusional slut, as are most self-proclaimed bisexuals. #forgiveliars

I found out on Halloween 2019, when Nick insisted we attend the Rocky Horror Picture show, and dress up as Janet and Brad. As the character Rocky entered the screen, I could see Nick developing a noticeable erection (he was very well endowed, as I only deserve the best)

Perhaps for some people in Berlin – polyamory, bisexuality, open relationships – isn’t a big deal. But to me: my body and my heart is a sacred temple. Nick violated that temple. He eventually admitted to me that he had a boyfriend in Switzerland, and was seeing us both at the same time.

The next 48 hours are a blur… I went out to bar after bar, on a bender to end all benders.

By mid afternoon the next day — I had doxxed Nick on Instagram, posting revenge porn of videos of him masturbating — sending it via direct personal messages to his school friends and extended family. I broke into his apartment and smashed his property. Anything made of glass was shattered beyond repair. I cut up his clothes with garden shears. I spray painted COCKSUCKER on the walls until I ran out of spray cans. #lostcontrol

I showed up to his co-working space, and outed him to all his colleagues. I ran up to every person in the office, and screamed “He takes it up the ass!” until security was called. As I was escorted out, I urinated in the elevator of the building, and told the guards “Make him lick it up! MAKE THAT SICK FUCK LICK IT UP!”

As security called the Police — I threw rocks at the window of the building, demanding that we fist-fight. The Police arrived, and calmed me down. Part of the privilege of being beautiful is that my bad behaviour often goes unpunished. It’s a blessing, and I’m grateful.

The next morning I woke up in my beautiful sprawling, perfectly-decorated Prenzlauer Berg apartment — in my king-size bed, with Egyptian cotton sheets, and a puffy down duvet. I didn’t have a hangover, because of my incredible health… but on the inside… I was in a deep amount of pain and shame. #ownthepain

I decided to check myself into a high-end rehab, detox, cleansing centre — in Tibet — for 6 months. I needed a little time to focus on ME. Nick had taken so much away from me…. I couldn’t let him take anymore time or energy from my life. This pause was exactly what I needed. #liveforyou

I left for Tibet on Nov 3rd 2019… and had no idea what was in store with the pandemic coming! #shocking #omg

People ask me all the time: Lynn, how did you survive the pandemic, how long were you stuck in Tibet? Well, that post will have to wait til next time, Beautiful Souls.

Art, not Acid!

Greetings Beautiful Souls,

My brave, dear reader Jazzmin has submitted a question for my first “advice” blog post. I thank you for your courage Jazzmin. Since you did not specify if you are a man or a woman, I will assume you are ‘non-binary’ out of respect. I always respect people for who I assume they are. Jazzmin writes:

Hi Lynn, Thank you for being so gracious to offer your incredible free advice! I am an artist and moved here about 5 years ago. While at first I was struggling, recently I have become very famous! None of my work has sold yet, but all the good blogs have featured my work. Thing is, not everyone is appreciative of me pouring my soul out, literally. Sometimes people comment mean things and it just really gets to me. They don’t know me! Should I confront them? How? Please help, I cant stand this negative energy in my life anymore.

Dear Jazzmin,

Thank you for being so open and honest. I have bad experiences with artists before, as an extraordinarily beautiful woman there have been times where artists have asked me to pose for sketches or photographs. I considered this sexual harrasment, and immediately filed police reports against them. But you seem like a very self-aware person, especially since you are one of my readers. I assume you are Vegan and Sober, so I don’t have to lecture you about the horrors of art culture in Berlin… the late night parties, the free-flowing wine, the cocaine. The memories haunt me #movepastyourpast

I am also a very talented visual artist. As a young girl growing up in New England, I would often do watercolor paintings of my Gram-Gram’s prize winning Lillies.

Please don’t be jealous of my naturally artistic talents. I am sharing this with you in an effort for you to understand my story, and who I am, and how talented I am – so that perhaps you can aspire to be as confident with your talents – as I am with mine.

From what you have explained, it sounds like you are allowing toxic people to upset you. I understand this all too well. Even for highly-evolved spiritual individuals like myself, being around negativity can be a challenge. The best way to deal with toxic people: is to send them LOVE. The best way to send them love is to think long & hard about how MUCH you are better than them, and everything about them that is flawed & ugly.

This is my strategy. I look through their social media, study all their short-comings, their failures, their physical imperfections, their character flaws, and all their weaknesses. I make a long list on pen & paper, mocking them, insulting them, telling them every hateful thing I want to say to them. Then I burn the list, and let out a long and loud laugh / scream – and then I meditate – remembering that I am SO MUCH better than them.

By recognizing the vulnerability & pain in others – it helps us to accept them – and love them for the flawed individuals they are. It creates a space for forgiveness and compassion. Once you truly feel like you are better than them, and you see how filled with self-hate they are – I would arrange a meeting with them – and softly and gently explain to them that you will no longer have any communication with them & their low vibrational energy. Don’t listen to anything they have to say to defend themselves, and cut them clean & clearly out of your life forever.

I hope that helps. Love to you Jazzmin! Please keep sending me questions, dear readers, it distracts me from the long hours waiting for Nick to reply to my texts, & calls & tweets.

YOU, are the problem

Greetings Beautiful Souls,

Since my last post, things with Nick and I have never been better. He came back from his extended hiking trip to Switzerland, and we spend a glorious week together.

Every morning we would meditate together, drink kombucha, do some yoga, make green smoothies. We were inseparable. One night — we made Vegan chocolate fondue with dark chocolate and avocado. Wow, adventure!

Nick has left town again, but I realise now that my “Higher Self” needs to accept his choice to work in a career that routinely rips him out of my life – leaving me feeling vulnerable & unloved. These fears and anxieties that have been plaguing me are caused by my “Ego Self”. That’s why over the past months — I have put out a low vibrational energy allowing toxic negative people to come into my life — like Amelia, Lauren, Florian, Katheryn, and that sexual predator Ivan. #thoughtsarethings

I needed to take responsibility, even though I didn’t do anything wrong. It was my Ego-Self at work. So. I have decided to focus on the positive while Nick is out of town. I want to spend each day with an attitude of gratitude #ownyourpower

So I would like to reach out to my readers, and ask you to contact me with the problems you are facing in your life. I want to give back, and help YOU live your best life. Drawing upon the lessons and love and learning I have acquired over my spiritual journey.

So please, send me a msg through the CONTACT link above. In my next post, I will help you all the best I can– so that you can live your most powerful, meaningful lives — being sober in Berlin.

Lemons, not LSD!

Greetings Beautiful Souls,

Aren’t we blessed to be enjoying the beautiful heat of summer? I try to focus on vegan picnics, trips to the lake, meditation… anything to drown out the horrifying memories of my chaotic years binge drinking in the parks of Berlin, blowing taxi driver after taxi driver. Even in beautiful weather: this city has a way of grabbing you by the throat, and sucking the life out of you! … NOW: my summer drink is an iced sparkling water with a dash of lemon! That’s Sober Lynn!

Recently, I was invited to a “Body Positivity Meet Up” — I thought this would be right up my alley, since I have always felt very comfortable & at ease with who I am on the inside and the outside. I was expecting the meet-up to be about sharing nutritional tips, meditation techniques, and maybe some light yoga. It turned out to be very different.

The Meet-Up was led by Amelia, a self-described “full figured woman”. To be clear: I don’t label people based on body types (since it is what is on the INSIDE that counts) yet Amelia seemed – dare I say – *obsessed* with physical appearance. While I personally believe in sharing my story to help others, Amelia’s story was more a diatribe about every tragic experience she’s ever had, and why she struggles with her weight. I could feel the discomfort of the other ladies in the room — how uncomfortable and inappropriate it was. We were all expecting to talk about health & wellness — yet Amelia seemed to think “Body Positivity” is about being a victim, and needing others to hear her pain. Was this a support group? Because if so, it should be clearly LABELLED a support group, and not a meet-up. #clarity #betruetoyourword

Once Amelia finished her self-indulgence, I cleared the air by explaining in a very calm and non-judgemental way — that beauty is ALWAYS a choice. I voiced my discomfort with Amelia, as if her struggles with her body image somehow makes her pain MORE important than MY pain? I gently explained that I have always had a naturally ideal physical appearance for a woman by society’s standards. Could they possibly imagine how difficult it has been for me — to have EVERY man I meet want to fuck me? And then, when they find out I am as equally as beautiful on the INSIDE — they want to fuck me EVEN MORE? One of the reasons I spiraled into alcoholism was because SO MANY men bought me free drinks — ALL THE TIME.

We all have our burden to bear, and I am not going to be ashamed of being beautiful. I focus on living in light and positivity, and not bringing others down by unloading toxic energy onto them. Clearly Amelia has no respect for anyone, and doesn’t truly love herself.

Instead of being compassionate to MY struggle — the entire group rallied behind Amelia (most likely because they were embarrassed for her)… Amelia explained we were here to hear each other’s journey towards body positivity, and that includes being vulnerable and sharing painful experiences. Then — she tried to change the subject, and direct the conversation away from me.

I engaged in a loving dialogue where I explained that I would not be silenced, and that I do not like it when people change the subject. I told them how my boyfriend Nick did this to me recently. Nick has been out of town for 7 days, and deactivated his Facebook profile. I can only reach him via Messenger, and sometimes it takes him 3 hours to reply. He is hiking in Switzerland with his mother. I TRUST HIM. I LOVE HIM. I BELIEVE HIM. But: he sent me this photo — and my first impression was that this photo was taken in the autumn. Look at the leaves. Nick explained that in Switzerland some trees turn orange at the height of summer due to forest fires.

I took a deep breath, and chose to trust him. It was the ‘Old’ Lynn who would doubt him. That’s not me anymore. I trust. I am open to love, and ready to welcome it into my heart.

After showing the women in the group the photos Nick sent from Switzerland, I kindly thanked them for inviting me to be a part of the evening. And although I am compassionate to their journey, and respect them as human beings — I could no longer be in the presence of their toxic energy, and self-hate. I felt judged and hated for being beautiful — which is a reflection of THEM, not me. #knowyourworth

Stay hydrated out there! And make sure to add a splash of lemon to that H²O!! #zing #lemonade #lemonlove #yellow #prettygirl #cucumbers #flipflops

Intimacy, not GHB!

Hey Beautiful Souls,

A lot of people have been asking (demanding!) for a new blog post. I am sorry that I have been absent… but it is because of the most magical reason. I am in LOVE!

I am not the sort of person to boast about their success and happiness and joy. I don’t boast: I share. I want to share my truth with you, so you too can find the way to love yourself, so that others can love you.

Since embarking on my journey through sobriety, I must admit I have never had a shortage of men courting me. As a beautiful woman, I naturally attract men, and since doing my health & spiritual work, my powers have only grown stronger. Even when I was in the throws of alcoholism, drug abuse, sleep deprivation, I still maintained a natural beauty and glow. Being beautiful is always a choice.

When Nick came into my life, I realized I had finally found a man who could match my high vibrational energy. Nick also has given up the “Berlin Party Boy” lifestyle, and prefers quiet nights: working out, cooking vegan meals, and reading. That’s so neat!

Nick is a Health Economist, which is very important to me. While through my journey, I have been asked out by a variety of yoga teachers, nutritionalists, and spiritual gurus. I felt they lacked the drive and ambition to engage with a capitalist society. Of course the spirtual world is what matters, but how can you enjoy the spiritual world if you are living in rancid poverty? We are all on a journey, but that is just simply not my path.

I believe in enlightenment through abundance. Abdundance means wealth & richness in ALL ways. Nick has taken me to some of the most glorious, expensive vegan restaurants Berlin has to offer – and yes – the occasional hummus plate at my neighborhood local! We’re chill like that!

The best thing about our relationship is that I don’t doubt myself. Nick travels a lot, and often doesn’t check in with me for 2-3 days while he is on his business trips. The “Old” Lynn — the one filled with jealousy and paranoia — would have been suspicious. But I’ve done work on myself. I’ve grown. The “Old” Lynn would be wondering why he hasn’t come to even ONE of my speaking events, or vegan picnic social meetups, or met one of my friends. But Nick reassures me: he is BUSY. It isn’t a reflection of his love for me. In fact, he is SO engaged with my social media: he is one of my TOP FANS on Facebook. Wow!

The “Old” Lynn would have seen these are red flags. Warnings that he might be using me for sex. Perhaps he’s cheating on me. Perhaps he has other lovers in other cities — and as soon as he gets bored with me — he will ghost me. And it will be easy for him to do so– since he’s managed to keep me at arms length. These are the thoughts of a diseased mind. I was diseased by alcohol.

Now, I see things clearly, and I trust in our love.

Most recently, I spoke with my personal yoga assistant Lauren about these doubts, and how silly they were, and how happy I am to have evolved and grown. Lauren said it sounds like I have valid fears and concerns, and encouraged me to voice my feelings to Nick… I sat with that for a moment.

It’s not that I was angry at Lauren. I felt sorry for her. Empathy is not the right word, because I have never been petty enough to imply to someone their boyfriend didn’t love them. So I cannot empathize. Pity, perhaps is the best word.

But I refused to stoop to Lauren’s low vibrational level. I engaged in a non-judgemental conversation with Lauren. I explained that I *didn’t* feel insecure. I was merely explaining how I *would* be feeling insecure if it wasn’t for all the personal growth work I have been doing. Lauren apologized, and assured me she over-stepped her boundaries.

Although I am a forgiving person, I realized that I could no longer continue employing Lauren as my personal yoga assistant. Her toxic energy could easily transfer into my body, mind, and spirit as she corrects my yoga postures.

I calmly & compassionately explained to Lauren that just because *she* doesn’t understand love, doesn’t love herself, and is perhaps incapable of loving others — doesn’t mean she has to right to project her hateful, jealous energy onto me or anyone else. I told Lauren that I wish her all the best in life as she tries to deal with her pain, but I would no longer be interacting with her again. We’re all on a journey.

Thank you all for taking the time to share in my story. I hope it inspires you, as you try to stay sober and enlightened in a city where you feel constant temptation to lose control.

Focus on you. Focus on love. That’s Sober Lynn!

Self-Love, not Self-Destruction

Welcome Beautiful Souls,

Today is Sunday. In the past, I would be hungover having a greasy brunch with poached eggs and bacon — engaged in exciting conversation with exciting young people from around the world. We’d soak up all the booze, and head to Berghain for hours of pulsating techno, any drug I wanted, any man I wanted… I don’t miss it at all. I’m so glad those days are behind me. So far today: I meditated, wrote in my Gratitude Journal, and made all natural organic marmalade! That’s my Sober Lynn Sunday!

As most of you know, I was asked to be the keynote speaker of a very meaningful Social Justice Symposium for Queer Trans Palestinian Refugee Vegans & their Allies, organized by local Berlin activist Ivan Maronivic. I graciously accepted his invitation to speak. I feel it is important to share my story – not only through this wildly successful blog – but in person – so that people can get a better sense of my pure heart and beauty. Once others fully understand & appreciate who I am, I hope that I can inspire them to rise to my level, and start their path towards happiness.

As a natural-born Humanitarian, I felt compelled to share my story with these Queer Trans Palestinian Refugee Vegans, and give them some encouragement about how I think they should live their lives. Quite often, people tell me I remind them of Nobel Peace Prize Winner Malala Yousef. Obviously: not physically! But in terms of intellect, strength, perseverance: We are like sisters. #soulsisters #girlpower #meandmalala

I also suffered a severe set-back from my educational goals as young woman. As you know, I went to an Ivy League prep school in Massachusetts. At 16, I played Varsity Tennis with the seniors since I had developed earlier than the other girls. But not in an awkward way: I had a naturally athletic, slim, perfectly feminine build. One autumn, I tore a ligament in my shoulder, and it was devastating. For 3 weeks, I needed a Special Education assistant to transcribe my notes for me. Their use of semi-colons was excessive! So I know what it is like to overcome the odds.

The Queer Trans Palestinian Refugee Vegans were deeply moved by my speech. There was complete silence. They didn’t just listen to me: They HEARD me. By sunset, a vegan feast was unveiled — falafel, babaganoush, tabboulei — without the rancid stench of yogurt!

Towards the end of the night, Ivan Maronivic (the organizer) Thanked me for coming, and for giving such an inspiring, uplighting, moving speech. He then extended his arms out – as if he was intending to hug me. Excuse me? I was not prepared for that! I was there as the Keynote Speaker. Would he do the same to man? I think not. As a beautiful woman, I have to deal with situations like this every day of my life. As if a man, EXPECTS that I would embrace him, as if he feels ENTITILED to my embrace? I politely extended my hand for a handshake. Ivan apologized, and said quote “Oh, I apologize. I’m a hugger, but I understand not everyone is like that.”

I decided to engage in a non-judgemental conversation explaining physical boundaries, rape culture, and the history of patriarchy to Ivan. Ivan continued to apologize, but considering the fact that he is running a Social Justice Symposium – yet is creating an unsafe, dangerous climate of sexual predation – I refused to stop engaging in a non-confrontational dialogue. Several other individuals both men and women tried to step in and apologize on his behalf. But like Elizabeth Warren — I PERSISTED!

Although I don’t judge Ivan (and his enablers), I do believe that actions deserve consequences. Part of being a loving, forgiving spiritual person is holding others accountable to same standards you hold yourself. So I started a Facebook Group: “Women & Non-Binary Humanitarians in Berlin” this group is a safe space, where we can post about men in the Activist community who are clearly sexual predators like Ivan. Once we make sure men like Ivan are excluded from our community and socially rejected, left with no friends and no livelihood, we can all begin to heal and forgive.

Yes, Beautiful Souls, I am changing the world. One step at a time.

Chickpeas, Not Cocaine!

Hey Beautiful Souls,

Bless you all for returning to the blog. I am overwhelmed by the overwhelming responses of love and gratitude you have all sent me since I started sharing my journey.

Yesterday afternoon I had a powerful & meaningful experience which I would like to share with you.

I was in Neukölnn for a tai-chi class. It was as inspiring as always: connecting breath with movement. Letting go of the haunting memories of my party-girl past, snorting cocaine off the tips of keys in bathroom stalls, and eating kebabs early in the morning… For all I know those Kebab vendors may have used horse meat… The memories bring me so much shame… #breathethroughyourpain #youarenotyourpast

Tai-chi has been a life-saver in my journey. After class, a young gentleman named Florian asked to have lunch with me. Of course, this wasn’t a surprise. As an exceptionally beautiful woman, I am asked-out, cat-called, hit-on — every day, every where I go. However, I felt Florian had a kind energy, and I could sense he needed guidance.

We went for Indian food. I had the Channa Masala, of course! Then, to my surprise Florian ordered Lamb Korma. I engaged in a non-judgmental conversation with him, where I made it clear that I felt disrespected as a Vegan, since the smell of rotting animal flesh makes me ill. He appropriately changed his order to the Saag curry. Although in my mind, this was a basic courtesy, I still thanked him. After all, we are all on a journey.

I decided to share my story with Florian, and give him some much-needed advice about how I think he should live his life. I encouraged him to leave Berlin, once he finishes Grad School. So often people come to study, and stay an extra year or two. But Berlin can hook you in, and destroy your life. Imagine poor Florian waking up at 32, and thinking ‘Oh my god, what did I do?’ … Berlin is great if you are young and broke, but why else would you be here?

Not everyone is as blessed as I am. I explained to Florian that the whole world is at my fingertips! I have contemplated moving to Shanghai — it’s so modern there! But I feel like sharing my journey of Sobriety in Berlin is my purpose right now.

After all…. It’s Sober Lynn!

When I go back to visit my family, I realize I have a really hard time with nostalgia. I explained to Florian that I grew up in a small town in New England, where I went to one of the BEST schools in the country. It’s not a small town with confederate flags and toothless people everywhere — not like that! I moved to NYC after graduation, and my life became BIGGER. But when I go back, and visit friends who never left — I think to myself — wow, you were so smart, and so cool — and you did nothing with your life. It makes me really sad.

I wish my parents would move to Palm Beach Florida year-round, and not just during the winters. Going back to New England to visit them. It’s so hard & challenging & painful for me to see my friends living such small lives…

After lunch, it was clear that Florian was deeply inspired by my counseling. I wish him all the best in his journey, but decided I would not be speaking to him again. I realized that I wanted friends in my life who KNOW not to order Lamb Korma at a table with me. We are just not at the same level of consciousness, and I can respect that. But it doesn’t mean I need to settle for toxic, negative, destructive people in my life.

Say it with me: I Deserve Better!

Google says: Chana masala, also known as channay, chole masala, chole or chholay, is a dish originating from the Indian subcontinent. The main ingredient is a variety of chickpea called chana or kala chana. They are twice the diameter of typical chickpeas with a stronger flavor and firmer texture even after being cooked.

This weekend — enjoy some vegan curry with lots of chickpeas at a cozy restaurant with a good friend — not a baggie of cocaine with strangers!

Live your best life! Warm wishes!

Green Tea, Not Group Sex

Welcome Beautiful Souls,

I am so grateful for the outpouring of love & positivity around my first blog post a few days ago. It seems like I’ve been the catalyst for a meaningful & powerful conversation about self-love & sobriety in Berlin. That’s Sober Lynn!

As a young, pretty girl, I always knew in my life I was destined for greatness. Now that I truly have embraced & accepted that I truly am an exceptional woman, I truly know that I will be able to truly inspire & encourage others to truly embrace the exceptionalism within their true selves.

This weekend in Berlin brings back a lot of dark memories for me. It’s a full moon, Eurovision finals, and of course various hedonistic queer techno parties.

On weekends like this, I used to start my days in Mauer Park, surrounded by friends – drinking beer in the sunshine, laughing, talking. The nights would follow a blur of drugs and dancing. The mornings would bleed into the afternoons, with houseparties & orgies, orgasm after orgasm. I totally don’t miss it at all! My soul doesn’t miss it. My liver doesn’t miss it. My heart doesn’t miss it. Deep down, I was unhappy. Even though I didn’t think I was unhappy. No one thought I was unhappy, and I never felt unhappy — but I was deeply unhappy deep down. My mind was diseased by Berlin. You know what healed that disease? Green Tea!

By removing myself from the twisted, perverted Berlin party world — I had to sever a lot of unhealthy, toxic friendships to be able to heal. By doing so, I found new, meaningful connections with individuals in AA and my other recovery support groups.

Once I healed myself, and blossomed into the beautiful butterfly I am today, I discovered that I had outgrown my friendships from recovery. I felt deeply that I was at a higher vibrational energy than most of the disturbed, broken souls whom I had befriended. Not that I judge them. We’re all on a journey.

Now, I only allow friendships with people who share and understand my world view. People who love themselves, and who understand & appreciate me for loving myself.

Last week, I was at a Transcendental Meditation class in Prenzlauer Berg. After class, I struck up a conversation with a young woman in the class named Katheryn. We had a lovely chat about Coffee Enemas. We went next door to a superb Organic Tea House. I was feeling very positive about our connection. Katheryn and I seemed to have a lot in common. We are both vegan, sober, and on a spirtual journey. We both love Lululemon. She is also a beautiful woman, so I knew she wouldn’t be jealous or competitive or insecure about how physically attractive I am. It’s been a problem for me my whole life. Why can’t women realize that true beauty is on the inside?

Just as I thought Katheryn and I were bonding in sisterhood, she did something that rocked my world. She put a teaspoon of honey into her Green Tea. Immediately, I politely let her know that she wasn’t using Agave or Maple Syrup. It was Honey.

We engaged in a dialogue, wherein Katheryn claimed that she is indeed Vegan, but she doesn’t mind using honey from time to time. I explained to her calmly that Honey is made from Bees, and Bees are the source of all Life on Earth, and that the global Bee population is in danger, as are we. Producing honey is essentially Bee Slavery, and as someone raised in Massachusetts I can assure you that I am against slavery in all forms.

I realized if Katheryn could be this inconsistent in her values, she is not evolved and enlighened enough to be my friend. I’m not saying Katheryn is a liar, but she seems pathologically unable to understand the difference between truth, and the lies she tells herself. But I understand that we are all on our own journey, and I do not judge her.

I politely told Katheryn that would would not be socializing with her again, considering the fact that she has no respect for Bees, the planet, and humanity. Part of practicing self-love, is asserting your boundaries with people, and I’m really grateful I could have done that with Katheryn.

Do you like Green Tea as much as I do?

Google says: Green tea is a type of tea that is made from Camellia sinensis leaves and buds that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process used to make oolong teas and black teas. Green tea originated in China, but its production and manufacture has spread to many other countries in Asia.

That’s neat! I’m happy to announce I will be adding a line of Green Tea to the SOBER LYNN Wellness Brand Collection. This tea is super Green, super Organic, and I promise I didn’t get it from China, since everything is posion there! Pre-orders are available for a limited time, 6 pre-packed tea bags for 13.46€ excluding shipping and handling!

That’s all for now, Beautiful Souls! Have a safe weekend! Namaste.

Carrots, Not Ketamine!

Welcome Beautiful Souls,
Finally! My blog is here!

My name is Lynn. I live in Berlin. I’m a recovering alcoholic. So you might call me… SOBER LYNN! That’s what everyone calls me. And yes, it was my idea — no one else thought of it… despite what other “so-called-Influencers” might claim…

I have decided to create this blog to share my journey with you. Perhaps by sharing my helpful & wise advice of how to live in Berlin surrounded by abundance, wellness & peace — I can help others pull themselves out of the toxic, sustance-abusing, personal hipster hell from which they cannot escape. Not that I judge others who aren’t as evolved as me… We’re all on a journey.

One of the reasons, I stopped going to AA meetings was because I knew I was on a higher level of consciousness than most of the people there. I would listen to their chaotic, horrifying stories, and think to myself: “Wow. This is really toxic for me.” I realized the best way for me to help others isn’t by listening to them & hearing their story — it’s by sharing MY story. It’s by living my best life, and sharing my best life with you too, so you too can live your best life too!

It’s Sober Lynn!

People ask me all the time: “Lynn, you’re so beautiful. Your impeccable womanly figure, your perfectly symmetrical bone structure, your long legs, your sparkling Green eyes. Is it all just genectics? Were you born this beautiful?” While I do come from a long line of Beauty Queens & Debutantes in New England… The truth is… No. It’s a choice. I made the decision to be beautiful… and it started with Carrots!

I focused on healing my body, mind and spirit from the years of Berlin debauchery… The nights I would spend dancing with other gorgeous young people, gossiping & chatting, releasing all my tensions, taking drugs in the bathroom stall, having sex in the corners… Once I freed myself from that nightmarish prison, which I totally didn’t enjoy at all… I took a keen interest in vegetables. Some people may not realize this, but Berlin isn’t just known for it’s nightlife, its known for its Bio Farms!

Last week I took a trip to Pankow, and found a local, organic ecological farm where I could rent a small plot of land, and plant my very own Carrots! The owner Johannes, was an elderly German man. I was very shocked to see that he smoked tabacco! How could someone surrounded by so much nature & organic vegetables — choose to fill their lungs with poisonous carcinogens? I tried to engage in a non-judgemental conversation with him about it, but he was not open to it. That’s fine. We’re all on a journey.

Google says: Carrots are a root vegetable often claimed to be the perfect health food. It is crunchy, tasty, and highly nutritious. Carrots are a particularly good source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants

Wow! Nifty. Count me in! Why put ketamine into your body, when you could put in carrots? I have decided that my first product under my Wellness Brand SOBER LYNN, will be these deliciously grown organic carrots! They should be ready to harvest by October. And don’t worry — I made it very clear to Johannes that he is NOT to smoke anywhere NEAR my Carrots.

I guarantee that these Carrots will start you on your path to wellness. You can pre-order half a dozen, in this special one-time offer for 17.79€ excluding shipping & handling.

Start your autumn right!

That’s all for now Beautiful Souls!

xoxo, Sober Lynn
