  • The time has come…

    With the New Year,  I’m always glad I can return to a normal, more organized life. This year, after having dedicated a full year to caring for my new-born daughter, I could not simply return to my life. The time had come to expand my life to the other areas I want to explore in this lifetime.  Still caring almost…

  • Better than perfect

    All these years, I’ve been trying to discover what I needed to do with my life. I guess I’m a natural at making things complicated. Where others just worked to make a living, my work had to be meaningful. There I was, endowed with all these talents, but not able to choose how to use them. I was…

  • What next?

    I have never seen life as clear as I do now. I’m on a new level. This a new ball game and there’s no going back. On arrival, I have had to change my outlook on life. I am changing my thoughts, my behaviors and my dreams accordingly. For the first time in my life, I’m…

  • Blew a fuse

    Life did not go as foreseen these last weeks. I had to let go a lot, and I did. Until yesterday. I normally have Wednesdays to focus on what I need to do in order to move forward. I have a whole day to get in touch with the life I need to lead in…

  • A winter nude

    True beauty can be found in the smile in an elderly lady’s eyes. In the wrinkels on her face. It is proof of a life well lived.

  • First seek to understand

    You don’t want me as your car mechanic, and that is okay with me, for I have no ambition in that direction. Somewhere along the way, I have made a conscious choice not to develop that capacity. And for the moment, I have no desire in improving my knowledge in that area. Maybe some day, I will…

  • When life hands me a lemon…

    Years ago, we were touring New-Zealand for four weeks. What I had looked forward to for months was a hike around Mount Tongariro. When we came to Tongariro NP, we were told at the tourist information, the park would be closed due to a snow storm. It could take up to a week. By then we would be on…

  • Little feet

    Only one day old, these little feet were ready to go. Designed to walk you through life, they’ll take you to your destiny if you let them. 

  • Living, loving, learning

    One year ago exactly, while giving birth to my daughter, I was born. It was one of the most powerful moments in my life. Never before had I experienced, something as raw, something as pure. Never in my life had I had such clarity, stamina or focus. It felt as if my consciousness expanded and I was joined…

  • Blog break

    On the road, it is adviced to take a 15 minute break after two hours of driving. After posting 87 consequent blog entries, I need a break from blogging. These last months have been great. Publishing my thoughts and not wanting to break the cycle has forced me to focus on where exactly I was in life…
