One of my core values is, and has always been Just- or Fairness (‘Rechtvaardigheid’ is the much broader Dutch word that suits me better). It’s what drives a lot of my behavior and it’s what has the most profound influence on the way I’m getting through my days. Obviously, since that’s pretty much why it’sContinue reading “Winning over Justice”

Meditational Disaster
Please, on an average day – do NOT come and talk to me about the concept of ‘feeling’ energy. Or aura’s. Don’t preach to me about prayer, or mindfulness or *gasp* meditation. That whole floating bubble of illusion (or hallucinations), feelings and ‘getting in touch with your inner warrior’ is not my cuppa tea. AtContinue reading “Meditational Disaster”
Heart-body Connections?
Interesting factoids have always been one of my favorite things to ‘know‘. Trivia that might be slightly useless in daily goings-on but that are mightily interesting to drop in a casual conversation. So when I opened James’ World today and read the list of info he’d compiled, I was obviously delighted. Mostly because a lotContinue reading “Heart-body Connections?”
Changing the unchangeable.
Oftentimes I find myself wondering if I could be something I’m currently not. If I put my mind to it. If I could be a different me than I currently am, or become what I never was. If I tried my hand at it. Really. Really. Change. You know what I mean? Not that IContinue reading “Changing the unchangeable.”
Lights: 1 – Zoë: 0
Today was going to be my day. Today was going to be my victory. My coming of age as a strong, self-sufficient and capable woman. It would mark my entrance into the world of crafty handymen and DIY-goddesses and bring about a new era of enlightenment. Or, at least, actual light. Sadly, the fates sawContinue reading “Lights: 1 – Zoë: 0”
Personal Blogging: Listless
Lists have always played a big big role in my life. Mostly because I like the level of organization that they bring into the mix (and because they are, like myself, very goal-oriented) but also because they provide a (false) sense of safety. I mean, you can’t go wrong if you’re following the list, right.Continue reading “Personal Blogging: Listless”
One degree of difference
Something was off when I walked into my living room this morning.Not off in the sense that I would have to go find one of the baseball bats that live around my house so as to battle an unwanted intruder, or off in the sense that the stove was on fire or the TV wasContinue reading “One degree of difference”
No more golden days
As fall begins to color the world around us – I mourn the loss of color in mine. I used to have golden days. Shimmering, bright,filled with an energy that fueled my world. They used to be golden days. Then distance set in,‘Tween you, me and the world.While dark greys color the hours.And even thoughContinue reading “No more golden days”
Oh dear – It’s baby season
“Congratulations auntie!” read one of the text messages I got yesterday. And awkwardness ensued.I think my initial witty reply of of ‘Gee, thanks aunt, for congratulating me with the birth of a niece to a brother I haven’t seen or spoken to in well over ten years and who I will most probably never everContinue reading “Oh dear – It’s baby season”
When ugly wins.
We used to have a pug when I was younger and still lived at home. You know, one of those dogs with the scrunched up faces who look like they walked into a wall. Repeatedly. And I loved him. He was the wisest and kindest of beings I’ve ever met in this world. No traceContinue reading “When ugly wins.”
