• The FUN FACTOR of life

  

  What makes your life fun? A new blog: The FUN FACTOR of life! Most of us desire some form of change in our lives. Being aware of the fact that our patterns are deeply rooted inside of us and change requires perseverance, we love to postpone our actions. Many of us plan to work on…

• 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…

• 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…

• A cold crash

  

  What does your body tell you? I finally did it, I jumped into a lake in winter time. The temperature of the water was 6°C. 12 Years ago, I subscribed to a Wim Hof method breathing and ice bath workshop. It got cancelled due to a lack of participants. Back then, I was kind of…

• 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…

• This is what I could have said, but… I didn’t.

  

  I’m reading a book, Jackdaws by Ken Follett. It’s about the resistance in France during the Second World War. It’s a good book. But that’s not what this blog is about. In the book I read a phrase:  “Part of the time, I have to confess, I was composing wittily crushing remarks I could have…

• 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…

  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…

  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…

  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…

  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…

• The mindf**k of the ego

  

  What are you blaming yourself for? Your ego, you really need it to materialize things in this world. But, your ego also plays a game with you. It’s criticizing you. It piles you up with loads of guilt feelings: “I should have known better”, “ I didn’t take the right strategy”. We all know it’s…

  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…
