I’ll end this year of 202 with a thought on choice versus excuse. Are you a person who make choices or are you a person who find excuses? Cause the two paths are quite different. I believe a lot of us hide behind excuses instead of owning up to the fact that in the end, […]
I have a special skill of feeling too much when I shouldn’t, and nothing when I should. Why one might ask? Well it’s all in the interpretation of words and I am a constant seeker of hidden meanings in sentences spoken or in actions taken. No one can dissect the most minute word and make […]
My creativity is screaming from within to overlook the pile of must-dos and instead get lost in the carefully mixed messages beautifully filling my mind at the moment. To indulge in fantasies, storytelling and hardcore writing on an old-school typewriter wearing nothing but a pyjama shirt and woolly socks. To sit in front of a […]
We need to talk about shape wear and body confidence. Seriously people. The only time I’ve ever received the “congratulations on the baby” comment was when I wore a shaping body in Hanoi during a mingle reception for work. Since then, not once. Sure, a pair of high waist panties, but that’s not the same. […]
I read a fascinating article on communication the other day. And how we, as a community, reflect our fears and insecurities on our surroundings. That is, of course, true of positive vibes as well. Otherwise a simple smile wouldn’t brighten up a room or create a flood wave of laughter. What we do, and what […]
Power. Of mind, heart and soul. Of our own destiny, our path forward and who we bring along for the ride. We are fearless, brave and strong. We create the rules we live by and we only stray for those who deserve it. Do we ever doubt ourselves? For sure. But do we pick ourself […]
I’ve been asked if I would consider sharing some of my writing here. I’m not there yet. It’s still “my” story and until I let go of that.. Instead I’m sharing my description of my main character Jo as seen from the “narrator” of the story (i.e me). This will at least give you an […]
That means I’m in a sassy, flirty and sarcastic kind of mood. To be honest I’d say that, when I’m there, that’s when I write my best. I need to be “in the story” in order to get it out though and my mindset hasn’t even been close the last 6 months. But lately it’s […]
That’s how I would describe last nights Chefs Table with Desireé Jaks and her colleagues at Agrikultur. This is the place where the food is in focus, not the chefs. And you can clearly tell that they not only respect the process, from farmer to plate by supporting small farmers, but that they truly want […]
I think I’ve started on, at least, four books during my lifetime. All completely different. Just like I’m a mood eater, I’m a mood writer. No joke when I say that if you’ve watched the movie “Inside Out”, you’ve found the holy grail to my writing – if Joy’s in charge I’ll go funny, sexy […]
