About Maggie

I am a graduated educator in continuing education and actually a German. I am a real lover of the internet and have always loved to read, I love to study and deal with written texts. I love to work as an information broker as I do. I love science, I love news documenting the progress of society. And I love to meditate and have actually been practicing Transcendental Meditation for more than 35 years starting very early with it in my first university term at the university of Tuebingen in South Germany. I love the possibilities that the Internet has opened up for everyone. Right now I am participating in the Invincible America assembly (more on www.invincibleamerica.org) and studying at the same time at Maharishi University of Management (www.mum.edu).
