The driving force of being

What hidden treasure unfolds for you when you allow yourself to be? I had a full day of nothing ahead of me. The luxury of an empty calendar. So, while having my first coffee of the day, I started planning in my head. First, finishing the book that I was reading, then bring it back…

Live in the moment

Wouldn’t it be great if I could only just be in the moment? In the moment I experience no expectation of the future, no pain or regret from the past. The moment is the great nothingness and the overwhelming all. I try to be in the moment…. Easier said than done and probably forever work…

The acceptance of what is

He’s 88 years old. My passenger. We’re on our way to our 10 day Vipassana meditation course. It’s my second course. It’s his 15th. I sense that I can learn from him, so instead of listening to some music, my normal routine in the car, which I find very relaxing, the radio is turned off…

Inspiration overflow

I thought after writing my first few blogs that I’d written my story and that my short career as a blogger would end there. Oh, boy, how I was wrong! When I finally started allowing my creativity to flow, I found out it’s endless. It will never stop. And yes, I’m excited, because there’s more…

WALKING ON SUNSHINE

Katrina and The Waves (1985) Today I’m walking on sunshine, yesterday I was walking on sunshine. For a long time now I feel great and I’m walking on sunshine. Over the past years that was not always the case. I’ve travelled a bumpy road that had highs and lows. Sometimes it was difficult to see…

Dankbaar! (Grateful! English version below)

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…

FREEDOM

When do you feel free? One of the fun parts of posting blogs is that you get connected with all kinds of people. People that you know well, people that you never met, people close by and people living at the other side of the world. People that you haven’t seen or spoken to for…

Fear is a road to nowhere. What are your after summer plans?

Summer holidays, for some of us is a time to reflect and make new plans. In September, instead of materialising these great ideas, very often our plans fade away, like the sun that is moving away from us for a while. All regular activities start again, colleagues easily fill our calendars, we bring our kids…

EYE-OPENER?!

Recently, I was in the garden of a friend overlooking the IJ river in the heart of Amsterdam. A sailing boat passed by in the distance. My friend is a sailor and was on his ship that week and stayed the night in a harbour at another village. He recognized the ship and said to…

Be patient and crack that shell!

A seagull opens an oyster by throwing it on a stone ground from a certain height. If the shell cracks, his food is readily available. If it doesn’t, he picks the shell up again, flies to an adequate height and drops the shell another time. This goes on until the shell is open. There’s no…

Your golden next step?

Just tap from the pool of abundance! In my life there is a wise lady. She always says she likes to become one when she grows old, but to me she already is. In the past, when she saw me struggling with something, she would give me guidance. An example? I subcribed to an energy…

Wake up your wisdom!

Today I write my first blog in English. I was a member of Junior Chamber International (JCI) some years ago. The slogan of JCI is learning by doing. So, let’s overcome uncertainties and see how far I get in English. At JCI, the moment you hit 40 you need to step back for the next…
