I look at myself in the mirror, Iām staring at the irrevocable process of growing older. I can brush it off and tell you I donāt mind. That would be a lie. I donāt like the signs in my face that show Iām ageing. But, I also feel blessed that Iām ageing, because if I wasnāt, I wouldnāt 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 didnāt 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. Itās my mind judging myself and trying to stick to youth.
Next Saturday I will sing Alphavilles āForever Youngā on stage at a small theatre in the heart of Amsterdam. Itās 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 your life in the future you just forget to see every days beauty.Ā

Awkward?!
The other day I was shopping in Amsterdam city with one of my daughters. We walked along one of the beautiful canals and because of the sun, people were seated in front of their houses enjoying drinks. As we passed by, I looked a man in the eyes and felt a positive vibe. As myā¦

Het meisje in de olifant (š¬š§ English below)
Een olifant was ze, krachtig, oersterk. Maar ze was ook grijs, lomp, stug en zwaar. Ze had zich laten opsluiten in de dierentuin van de mensenwereld. Dat had ze zelf gedaan. Zorgvuldig had ze met haar slurf telkens een steen gepakt en deze gestapeld, totdat er een hele dikke, oerdegelijke muur ontstond. Stevig was deā¦
