Just words?

Are they just words? Florence, Italy 1992After a huge discussion on my phone bill which, Dutch as I am, I didn’t want to pay the full amount and I was negotiating a new rate, my land lady actually gave me a compliment. “Sei una ragazza in gamba”, she said. Back then I didn’t understand these…

Do you see this amazing view? It was the reward after reaching the summit of this mountain. Can you imagine opportunities to be unlimited? After a summit adventures don’t stop. There will be new ones creating new summits. Realizing this makes it worth to continue your walk, as every summit has a new, beautiful, different…

Reculer pour mieux sauter

In French there’s an expression ‘reculer pour mieux sauter’. It means, freely translated, that if you do something once again, you have a better base for taking your next step. For instance if you do a class over at highschool your base of knowledge is more stable and from there you can make a bigger…

Food for thought

In what way are you conditioned? Where does your inner automatic pilot guide you to? I posted this blog a few years ago. As it’s still valuable, I decided to re-post today, as many of us will be watching tonight’s football match. Enjoy both the blog and the match! Warm regards, Pamela

The invitation of the universe

I strongly believe the universe is with us. In small sparks it offers us opportunities, if only we learn to listen to it. This listening is challenging as it’s usually not a clear: ‘Hello, I have an offer to make’. It’s hidden in various messages or signs and we’re invited to filter them. The good news…

A different perspective

Sirsasana, this is the Sanskriet name for the yoga pose that we call the head stand. It requires a strong core and balance. l love this pose, because it’s both balancing and it turns the energy upside down. While I’m in this pose, I feel my blood flow to my head, this quiets my mind…

The beauty of symmetry

Walking through the streets my eyes are caught by symmetry. I suppose to me it feels like balance, a delicate equilibrium that might be disturbed, but always finds it’s way back again. It’s perfect and imperfect. It’s moving. It’s what life is all about. One day it’s perfect, the next day you might face difficulties…

Be brave

Last week I went skiing with my oldest daughter. It was my present for her as she passed her exams. One day when I was changing my shoes, she picked up my skis and stored them in the locker. I was grateful as I was tired after a full day of skiing quite fanatically. This…

Ganesha

A few years ago when I was in a huge process of transformation, a friend that travelled to India, brought me a Ganesha on his way back. Ganesha was there for me to guide me and symbolized new beginnings. Ganesha takes away obstacles and shows himself to the world in the shape of an elephant.…

CHOICES

What was your answer when as a child someone asked you: “What do you want to become when you grow up?” My answer was, without any doubt: fashion designer. As a child I could spend hours in a book store scrolling through magazines admiring the latest designs from Chanel, Dior, YSL and many more. I…

Dancing alone?!

May I invite you to dance alone occasionally? A few years ago I wanted to see a movie and litterally no one was available to join me. A friend said ‘why don’t you go alone’. Alone?! I know tons of people go to the movies alone, but for me at that time it was still…

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…
