The Red Staircase
Does this represent a long way up…..long way down…..or simply just a challenge to be overcome, like any other day? My life is a series of challenges. Some wins, some losses, some just lessons learned along the way. So far, it has been very colorful, filled with...
What is the Soul Kitchen?
The Soul Kitchen has been open for 9 months now, and it seems to fit very well to Saxon culture. I am excited to share my experience and talk about it. As an American living in Germany who speaks very little German, (although I am learning) I tend to watch a lot and...
I BOUGHT A CASTLE IN GERMANY!! Yep, that’s right…
June 2018 Deb Hey I BOUGHT A CASTLE IN GERMANY!! Yep, that’s right… Dreamer? Romantic? Crazy? That’s what most people say when they hear this. Dreamer - Did I dream about being a Princess in a Fairy Tale? No, I prefer motorcycle boots to glass slippers and...
Castles for sale!

MotoSoul has a home!!
The day has come – the art of motorbike riding has a home! It seems appropriate to talk about this on a leap year day. If we leap forward 4 years and take a picture in this same place, what a different picture it will be. Twenty months ago I found Schloss Mutzschen...
The Climb!
Miley Cyrus has this great song called The Climb. It starts out saying “I can almost see it, that dream I’m dreaming...” From the moment I saw Schloss Mutzschen, I could see it. Every time I walk through the Village I see the future. I talk to potential partners...
And We’re Off!
It would be hard to talk about Gaila Gutierrez and not mention her “journey.” In 2012, Gaila left her job, rented her house and took off with her partner Tad on two wheels headed for places most people only dream about. From Seattle, Washington she criss-crossed the...
Why?
Whenever I am trying to figure something out that alludes me, I keep asking myself WHY over and over again. With each answer comes another why, until the questions can finally stop because I understand (or the answer doesn’t matter anymore!). So WHY MotoSoul? Here...
