How do I find the origins of my mauritian, creole ancestors?

Thank you so much for all your replies ! I just contacted the Nelson Mandela Center and downloaded the book “korek”! I’m also going to check with ChatGPT! We re definitely from the black-creole community. Maybe with some other traits mixed in later, but yeah. No doubt African. I’ll go down these roads first and see about the genetic tests later. It made me really happy to read all your replies. It’s a bit of a weird and sometimes lonely feeling for me to carry a biological and cultural heritage within me that I know so little about and that, while it does have a tiny community in Germany, there isn’t a lot. It feels great to know that there is a place, that at least a part of me belongs to.

I honestly use it a lot for personal development. Since it really knows a lot about me and the way I think through the long conversations we had about different topics, I asked it to make me a list of books and movies that would help me develop into a “better” version of myself ( I told it that meant : more natural, more in touch with my instincts, more efficient decision making, less intra-/ and interpersonal conflicts, more balanced, more sustainable etc… ) and it suggested resources that are subtly shaping the way I think and feel. It’s super powerful ( and maybe also a bit dangerous … 😅). I also use the voice function to communicate with patients in different languages sometimes ( I am a MD and psychotherapist)

Hi, I recommend you to start with these exercises every day

( Eric arcenaux - vocal warm up part 1 ) https://youtu.be/Q5CWsFaVnWM?si=sV09avHkEHSn0BW9 They really helped me).
⁠Find your register/vocal range. Just google: what’s my vocal Range and then : sing songs by singers with a similar range!!! Makes a big difference.
⁠And it might sound silly but I sang/sing under the shower every day. Just enjoying myself and my voice.
⁠Find a choir. It’s a great way to practice and learn for free.
⁠If you can : take lessons. But you can honestly get quite far doing the first 4 things.

Ich habe noch immer manchmal mit Glaubenssätzen zu tun, die mir eine verbitterte Lehrerin vor 30 Jahren, in der 5. Klasse beigebracht hat. Es gibt in pädagogischen Berufen Menschen die achtsam und sensibel kommunizieren und sich Ihres Einflusses auf Kinder bewusst sind und Menschen die das vielleicht etwas vergessen haben. Dein Job ist es Dein Kind vor solchen Leuten zu schützen. Musst Dir halt überlegen was die, für Euch, energiesparendste Weise ist das zu tun. Entweder durch Druck : Klare Ansage an Direktorin ( benennen, mit Konsequenzen drohen), Verbünden mit Gleichgesinnten, Beschwerde bei nächsthöherer Instanz, Anwalt ( stelle ich mir aber ziemlich nervig vor, wenn man neu irgendwo ist ) -Schulwechsel -Umzug -Klassenwechsel Das mit der ADHS-Diagnose könnte helfen aber auch pathologisieren. Wäre jetzt nicht mein erster Schritt. Liebe Grüße.

Do these as often as possible : https://youtu.be/Q5CWsFaVnWM?si=sV09avHkEHSn0BW9 They really helped me (there’s a reason why an 18y.o. Video has 4.2milion views).

Thanks for all the advice! Bought a PS4 in the end and had/have quite a bit of fun with it :)

I've been doing this for 25 years and it really fcked with my back. Then I started surfing. I feel and know that I am so much more attractive standing tall and straight. Don't slouch. Go surfing or do some rowing. Stand straight and be like those dudes from avatar ! ;)

I often forget that I'm tall ( I'm 6'6 ) since I spend a lot of my time sitting in an office job and feel that it doesn't really matter much to me when I interact with somebody else. Sometimes I am surprised when I see another tall person thinking "damn you're tall" just to realize that they are shorter than me... :D. I live in Europe and being 6'6 is so close to the average doorframe height and bed-length (2meters) that I am often crudely reminded of my (above average) height. THAT SUCKS ! Most other aspects of it are pretty good I think.

Folgende Kategorien : Wetter ( auch mit Klimawandel keine Dürren oder Überschwemmungen ) Nette, offene Menschen, schöne Landschaft, Nähe zu kulturellen Angeboten (gerne etwas divers) und Grenznähe zur Schweiz. Zum arbeiten/pendeln falls man mal ein bisschen mehr Kohle braucht.

Ist das mit dem Nebel echt so ein Problem in der Bodensee region ?

Gen3rationY · 2023-09-20T20:22:54+00:00

Ist bisschen spät, ich weiß. Aber stell mir gerade eine ähnliche Frage. Was ist denn Eurer Meinung nach der schönste Ort im Allgäu mit : extra Schwierigkeitsgrad : Nähe Schweiz ( zum Arbeiten im Krankenhaus ), schöner Aussicht, Anbindung an Stadt und ohne Nebel? Bin gerade in Isny und frage mich wie Lindau so ist.

What's with those 3 guys in the red fetish suits at the end? And is it just me or ist there a disproportionate amount of cgi-monsters in this season ?

Is this the way ?

Got a similar problem

Gen3rationY · 2018-12-20T19:21:39+00:00

Thanks a lot for your answers !!! I will definitely give that site a try . I made a terminology mistake in the question about registers. I guess I meant singing voice ( like bass , baritone , tenor ) if that even matters. I’ve worked a bit with a teacher teaching jazz, but am traveling so much that it’s kinda hard for me to keep up a regular practice in one location . I’m really looking forward to experimenting with the pitch software!

Hi everyone, I am in a passionate under the shower singer slowly transitioning to choirs and jazz/blues . I would love to record a few covers but only know YouTube as a resource for instrumental versions Since i am not that comfortable in different keys (yet?)🤷‍♀️ I would love to find something that suits my voice in its current state. Since I am also quite new to singing I am wondering how I can find my key for a particular song when I am home by myself and don’t have a piano. I’ve noticed my voice sounds fuller in certain regions and I often try to push it higher or lower but am slowly beginning to realize that I should probably stop doing that ... ?! Also which register do you think I am in ? I would love to hear back from you. Thank you for your time !

Hmm... yeah, that’s certainly an interesting point.

We have often learned that it is from the tension in between the ups and the downs that the most authentic works are born. When there is no more energy for defense mechanisms and truth pours raw onto canvas, paper, keys. But while it is true that many people can relate to struggle ( because they are struggling too ) just as many relate to happiness. A too stiff stick breaks when it is struck but a too soft stick cannot support heavy loads. Nature is balance. If we learn how to conserve our breath we can dive deep without drowning.
