I’m part of an online group that works through Julia Cameron’s book The Artist’s Way together. The Artist’s Way (TAW for short) is a 12 week program to (re-) discover the creativity that everybody has within themselves. I’ve attempted to complete this course several times on my own in the past four years, but I [...]
Tattoes
Posted on November 09, 2008 at 8:45pm in NaBloPoMo, Reflection
I’ve never liked tattoes. Or piercings. Although piercings are not as bad as tattoes, because if you get tired of them, you can just remove them and they’ll just leave a small whole, whereas tattoes are for life. Of course you can get them removed, but that would cost quite a lot of money. Whenever [...]
I signed the contract for my new apartment today and I’ll be moving in tomorrow. While I was looking for a place to live, two members of my staff were too. One of them sent me a link of an apartment that they would love to rent, but it was too expensive for them. The [...]
What is a journey? A journey is not a trip. It’s not a vacation. It’s a process. A discovery. It’s a process of self-discovery. A journey brings us face to face with ourselves. A journey shows us not only the world, but how we fit in it.
Does the person create the journey or does [...]
These are my last days in Ireland, I’m leaving the day after tomorrow. The past weeks have been filled with packing, organizing and saying goodbye. I never get used to it. No matter how many times I’ve done it before, I’m still no good at it. As the French say: “Partir, c’est mourir un peu”. [...]
The preparations for my new life in Manila are in full swing. Flights have been booked, I’m leaving in less than 3 weeks. Yikes. My colleague and I will travel to Hong Kong first, spend a few days there and on November 1 we’ll continue to Manila.
Manila.
Manila.
Manila.
The word is a new mantra for me. Consciously [...]
Wishes Come True
Posted on October 04, 2008 at 12:43pm in Reflection
It’s been only five months since I created a Wish Jar for myself and filled it with my dreams and wishes, big and small. Since then several of them have already come true. This morning I took out all the wishes I put in my jar and removed the ones that were realized. I’m grateful [...]
Inviting Harmony

Do you remember what it felt like the first time you walked into your home? Before you even moved there, the first time you entered it during a viewing or so? Did you feel like the house was welcoming you? That you stepped into a home instead of a house?
Last year around this time, Marc [...]
Old and Wise

Sometimes I wonder what it will be like when I grow old. What the world will be like. What I will be like. I hope I’ll be one of those eccentric ladies who keep having fun until their last breath, who don’t let the fact that they’re 90 get in the way of enjoying life.
My [...]
Resurfacing
Posted on August 04, 2008 at 1:03pm in Reflection
Seven weeks ago I went offline. It wasn’t a conscious decision, but it happened. So much was going on, both wonderfull stuff and very painfull stuff, and I needed all my energy do deal with those things. Now I feel like a submarine that has been on the bottom of the ocean for a while, [...]
