What happened to you lately that you can’t let go of?
For 27 years there was a beautiful man in my life. I loved him intensely. We grew together, and… we grew apart. Our lives took different turns. We still share the 3 most amazing children and became good friends.
Looking back I know now this had to happen. Barriers needed to be broken, to be able to cross borders.
Later, there was, very briefly, a man in my life. After a few beautiful evenings together he left me unattended, just not replying to any of my Whatsapp messages. I learned. I went deep down the “I’m-not-good-enough-lane” and thought I hit rock bottom.
Oh, boy, how I was wrong.
There was another man, I thought we would start building something, but it turned out that it meant more to me than it did to him and I ended up with a one-night stand. It was followed by a quiet silence.
I found out that below rock bottom there was a swamp that was sucking me up. I started crawling, but of course, crawling in a swamp brings you in a position that is even worse.
To prevent this from happening, I gathered all my strength and told myself to STOP.
A friend advised me to read the book “When everything changes, change everything” by Neale Donald Walsch.
The book turned my way of thinking upside down and taught me that there’s only change for the good! It’s all for a reason!
I started floating, I slowly started swimming and moving to the surface again.
When I was in the middle of it, it was hard.
Looking back now I can only feel gratitude. I learned so much about myself and I grew to the person I have become. I can now say from the deepest of my heart:
I’m proud of who I am!
What is your story?
Can you float on it like I did?
Can you gently start moving again?

Het meisje in de olifant (🇬🇧 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 de…

MOVE!
One of my friends is a cyclist. I never understood the fun of cycling. To me cycling is not particularly fun, a bike is a way to transport me from A to B. Last September, when we had some beautiful sunny days, I thought of going for a swim at a local outdoor swimming pool.…
