Mirror mirror on the wall

I look at myself in the mirror, I’m staring at the irrevocable process of growing older. I can brush it off and tell you I don’t mind. That would be a lie. I don’t like the signs in my face that show I’m ageing. But, I also feel blessed that I’m ageing, because if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be walking around here anymore and I like to be here. Life is fun!

Last Saturday I went dancing. I was probably one of the oldest people in the club as it was an 18+ party, but to me it didn’t matter. I just loved the atmosphere, the music and the dancing.

The real burden of growing old is not the lines in my face, not my body that becomes less beautiful. It’s my mind judging myself and trying to stick to youth. 

Next Saturday I will sing Alphavilles “Forever Young” on stage at a small theatre in the heart of Amsterdam. It’s just a small concert of all the pupils of my singing teacher, @EviDeJean. She asked me to explain to the audience what the song means to me.

To me the song means: Enjoy life today, in the here and now, by living our life in the future we just forget to see every days beauty.

GO! PLAY! OUTSIDE! NOW!

When will you finally step outside of your comfort zone?  Outside your comfort zone lies a whole new world full of bright and vivid experiences. I found this hard to believe myself. I loved my soft, safe space, but my creative me wanted to write and continuously invited me to show up. I had no…

MY PORSCHE Last summer I saw a Porsche in Whistler. It was parked in front of the hotel where my daughter was doing an internship and it immediately stole my heart. THIS was going to be my Porsche one day. It had a special colour blue, greyish blue, which felt just like the right colour…

A little gesture means the world

Last year I was facilitating a storytelling training with my co-host bestie. When he entered the room he gave me this card. It was a simple caring gesture of kindness and it immediately created the positive energy that we always feel when facilitating together.  Sometimes this is litterally just all that it takes. What can…

LET LOVE RULE!

I did an internship in Tunisia when I was 21. In the mornings, I drove to my work to an inland fashion factory. In the evenings, to pay for my rent, I had an extra job, working at the Ruspina hotel animation team, entertaining the hotel quests with sketches, dancing, singing. Back then and there,…
