ME TIME
Went away for some days. Needed some ‘me’ time. It was great. I was with people I love and who love me back unconditionally. I was with my sisters. There is nothing like sister love. The connection is pure, we want to be in each others company, no rules, no judgements, just be in the…

bucket list thingies
A new year is here, 2022. Personally I had hoped for COVID to be over, but seems like it’s here to stay, so we might as well deal with it and try to move on. I am not the type to start a new year with new years resolutions, but it did so happen that…

Roller Coaster
And again, it’s been a while. But here I am again. I was on holidays and when I came back I had the feeling I stepped into a roller coaster ride… I was kinda prepared for some things, but surely not all of it. Let me also tell you, I do NOT like roller coasters.…

CHOICES
It’s been a while since I last wrote something. I did think about it a lot, but most of the times I was too tired to actually do it. But here I am again and it sounds cliché, but I’ve been busy. So many things passed my mind these last few days. Through it all…

A tear for Peter
Today Peter R. de Vries died. I am sad about it. I did not know him personally, but I have been following his work since I was a young girl and he helped to solve a murder case that took place in Suriname in the 90’s. He was intriguing. He was passionate about his work…

Power Ladiez
The past few weeks I started a close collaboration for a good cause with some ladiez…. power ladiez… I already knew all of them, but now we connected to try and achieve a specific goal. I am amazed at how wonderful this is working out. This is the way I like to work and to…

People
Surround yourself with people who see your value and remind you of it author unknown Ever wonder what is means to be a ‘person’. I did not do it actively, I mean I was born this way. Nothing ‘new’. But throughout the years you get to fulfill different roles and in some cases it becomes…

Balance
I came across this quote one of these days… and it made me think what kind of person I am. I came to the conclusion that I could recognize myself in it. I don’t know if others will agree with me. As much as I like being around people, I can also enjoy some quiet…

Butterfly
Yesterday I had an amazing experience that I intensely enjoyed. A special friend granted me the opportunity to paint again after a long time. It was such an amazing feeling to hold a brush in my hands again, to mix colors and create something beautiful on a blank canvas. I painted a butterfly. There were…

It’s been a while
The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself. It’s been a while since I last wrote something and because I decided to pick up some old hobby’s and “reanimate” where I left off, here I am again with a new blog. So much has happened…

2023 is here
2022 has passed. COVID’s still here… we seem not too worried about it anymore. I remember the start of this pandemic very well… from this ‘Asia virus’ will never get here to complete devastation because it was deadly and dangerous to yayyyy, we have a vaccine to oh gosh another variant is here and so…

Proud of me and Am
In April this year we visited Atelier Doré on a special occasion. It was such a great experience. To hear their stories, see, feel and even fit their handmade and uniquely designed silver jewelry. We visited the workplace where most of the magic happens, and I thought by myself: How awesome is this! Then we…

Loss & Grief
When we lose a loved one we are mostly overcome by sorrow, pain, fear and grief. How to deal with this? How to go on with your life? Why him, why her? All these question and emotions rumble through your head and we are all over the place. Time goes by, everything moves on. What…

Sisters
This month I had the pleasure of celebrating the birthdays of two of my beautiful sisters (there are more). We are not biological sisters, but joined heart to heart. The fact that we don’t have the same parents is no boundary for us to share this special bond. We share the same family and background.…

I DID IT
Two weeks and two days ago I did it. I finished the Miami Half Marathon 2022, 20th edition. I am very proud of myself. Thankful for my body. Thankful for all the support from family and friends that kept me focused and going. What did I learn? Never say Never. One year ago I would…
