Hi, my name is Nela.  Actually it is Cornelia.  I was born and raised in Germany, and my
brother, who is almost five years younger than I, used to call me
Nela when he was a toddler
because he couldn't pronounce my difficult first name.  Later, his wife and three children
adopted that name.  My mother and my favorite aunt Saskia used to call me
Cornelchen.  In
German, the ending "chen" or "lein" signifies an object that is small and cute.  (I guess I used
to be that - but those times are obviously over. Oh, well.)  She also called me
Corneli, omitting
the "a" at the end of my name.  Heaven knows why.  My father often called me
Lela or H-Lela,
strongly pronouncing the "h" - just for fun, I suppose.  My grandmother used to call me
Neli,
and - if I should ever have another sweetheart - that version of my name is reserved for him
because I like it the most.  My grandfather was the only family member who pronounced my
entire name
Cornelia.  My schoolmates and friends called me Conny.
I am the founder and Chairman of the

I have desires and dreams.

My goal is to establish groups worldwide
who practice my "Unconditional Happiness" or inner-derived happiness techniques and
who meet twice a months to exchange their positive experiences and receive new inspiration.

I desire to study physics part-time and am looking
for a tutor who can teach me math for physics.  
Although we studied calculus in Germany,
I have forgotten most of my math which I learned in German anyway.

I also wish to travel again for my workshops, lectures, and weekend retreats.
In addition to Europe, my favorite places to visit are Japan, Singapore,
Hong Kong, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, and Thailand.

My favorite city is Singapore.  Other favorites are Paris and Kyoto.
Favorite regions are the Mediterranean, the southwest part of the San Francisco Bay Area,
Pepple Beach and Carmel on the Monterey Peninsula, and California's Pacific Coast Highway.
I want to maintain my enthusiasm for
and love of life.

I think we live in the most exhilarating times,
and I want to make full use of
the endless opportunities available to us
to learn,
grow in experiences,
and have great fun in the process.

I strive to be the best person I can possibly be:

- Loving
- Understanding
- Inspiring
- Knowledgeable
- Intelligent
- Energetic
- Strong
- Gentle
- Creative
- Intuitive
- Humorous
- and joyful.

In my life and my work,
I want to hold my broader perspective
of the realities of
finer vibrational worlds,
nonphysical beings,
and metaphysical laws,
such as the all-powerful
Law of Attraction.
