This is my last letter to my Mother, the letter I read at her cremation. For now it is in Dutch only, because I have not had the time to translate it yet. I still have the flu and I am just very tired. There is still so much to take care of and I am calm, strangely enough, but I do feel a bit anxious about what is to come. We need to clear my Mother's house by the end of the [...]
Who am I and who do I want to be? Hello there! Hope you are well. Like millions of people around the world I am mourning the loss of a true star, David Bowie. His music has been a constant in my life, although I wasn't a huge fan like some people I know, I did listen to his music often, followed his career, and managed to see him in concert a couple of times. I always admired him for [...]
December has started and there are only a few days left of 2015. The way you round off the year can influence your manifestations in the new year. You need to get out of bed on the right side so to speak. December for me often comes too quickly, as there are still so many plans for this year not accomplished and the feeling of not being quite ready to make a new start. Also the melancholy of another year over, and time seemingly passing [...]
Samhain is also known as Halloween or All Saints and it is celebrated October 31st. The end of October has been a spiritually significant time for centuries. The Celts called their New Year celebration Samhain. At this time of the year contact with the other world of deceased ancestors and the spirits is easier to make. Samhain, Summer’s End, originated in the 10th century in the Irish story Tochmac Emire, the Enchantment of Emer. In this story Emer, the heroine of [...]
The time of magic is upon us. The time around Halloween, when the veils between the worlds are thin, there is a tangible feeling of Magic in the air. I love it. I love magic and I believe in it. I’ve always loved magic... the unseen world, synchronicities, the creative intelligence of the Universe at work. Maybe that’s why I see magic all over the place. Magic is who we are. True creators Sometimes I forget to see magic and miracles. I am [...]
As I was saying to a friend earlier this week, I write these posts for you, but also for myself, they are reminders to self. As I notice things coming up for me and seeing the lessons in them, I want to share them with you because I know that many of us are going through the same things. So what comes up for me, will come up for others. We learn it because we are meant to teach it. That [...]
I see so many people struggle with their body (image) because of dis-ease, illness or because they feel they don't fit in with what society or they themselves dictate what they should look like. I see beautiful people ashamed of their bodies, apologizing for the way they look. I see so much discomfort with our bodies. So much insecurity and fear. Can we all just make a deal and call this BULLOCKS! People it really is a time to love [...]
Hello sweet friend, It is that time of year when leaves turn beautiful golden, red and orange shades, there is crispness in the air, a certain smell and there is that magical feeling that only Fall seems to bring. Autumn child Today I was talking with a colleague about how cold it already is in the mornings and how hard it is to get out of bed in the dark mornings. It always takes some getting used to and somehow [...]
Hello you, How are you? Are you having a holiday? How are you feeling? I myself was so looking forward to Summer, to unwind, relax and recooperate. But I feel complety drained and emotional. I cry all the time and feel heavy and very tired. Super emotional and well hard to define what it is I am feeling. I have no need to define it and just let it release and find it's course. I am just letting this wash over [...]
Hello you! How are you? How have you been? How are you feeling? Hope you are well and enjoying the Summer. It is a New Moon as I am writing this. This moon is not in the night sky, but is up in the sky during daylight and it sets with the sun at night. Cancer by Charissa Flipping I am feeling very emotional and my mind is flipping, my head is hurting and well I just can't seem [...]
