Na het posten van mijn vorige blog werd ik overweldigd door een intens gevoel van dankbaarheid. Via allerlei kanalen kreeg ik werkelijk prachtige, hartverwarmende reacties. Ik voelde me groot en klein tegelijk. Groot omdat dat wat ik te zeggen heb bij jullie resoneert en klein omdat ik maar gewoon een radertje in het grote geheel ben.
En toen was hij daar opeens, die dankbaarheid. Gewoon tijdens een wandeling op zaterdag ochtend.
Ik kreeg jaren geleden, in een moeilijke periode van mijn leven, het advies om elke avond voor het slapen gaan 3 dingen op te schrijven waarvoor ik die dag dankbaar was. Dat mochten natuurlijk niet elke avond dezelfde dingen zijn. Ik ben dankbaar omdat…’ ik 3 geweldige, prachtige kinderen heb’ …volledig waar, maar te makkelijk, want elke dag toe te passen. Dus ik schreef: dankbaar voor een heerlijk kopje koffie vanochtend, de zon op mijn huid, een onverwachte glimlach van een voorbijganger, nieuwe schoenen, een boom in bloei…..
Jarenlang schreef ik ze, dag in dag uit, en af en toe ook even niet, maar telkens pakte ik de draad weer op. Ik schreef ze braaf, want een gebrek aan discipline kan mij niet verweten worden, al mijn momenten van dankbaarheid. Maar, ik VOELDE ZE NIET.
En nu, dankzij al jullie hartverwarmende berichtjes voel ik ze wel. Heel sterk, heel diep: het leven is mooi. DANK!
Waar ben jij dankbaar voor?

Grateful!
After posting my previous blog, I was overwhelmed with an intense feeling of gratitude. Through all kinds of channels I got really beautiful, heartwarming reactions. I felt big and small at the same time. Big because what I have to say resonates with you and small because I’m just a cog in the big picture.
And then suddenly there it was, that gratitude. Just during a walk on Saturday morning.
Years ago, at a difficult time in my life, I was advised to write down 3 things for which I was grateful that day every night before going to sleep. Of course, that shouldn’t be the same things every night. I am grateful because…’ I have 3 wonderful, beautiful children’ …completely true, but too easy, because to apply every day. So I wrote: grateful for a delicious cup of coffee this morning, the sun on my skin, an unexpected smile from a someone that passed by, new shoes, a tree blossoming…..
For years I wrote them, day in day out, and occasionally not, but each time I picked up the thread. I wrote them obediently, because I cannot be blamed for a lack of discipline, all my moments of gratitude. But, I DID NOT FEEL THEM.
And now, thanks to all your heartwarming messages, I can feel them. Very strong, very deep: life is beautiful. THANKS!
What are you grateful for?

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,…
