Monarchy

We live in a land
With kings and queens
And though parliament rules
I see them in my dreams

Through the times
With rulers fair and just
Connecting with the people
In the people they trust

I know it’s romantic
And not of this age
To fight for king and queen
Who live in a gilded cage

Somehow though
It speaks to me
Our monarchy
Resonating, through history

So today I raise a glass
And if one asks what I mean
I will simply reply and say
I drink to my king and queen

👑 👑 👑 🦁 🥂 🧡 👑 👑 👑

Spring Equinox

Blessings on your day and life. Enjoy the equinox this afternoon ❤🌷🌱🌻☀❤

The seeds have been planted
Your dreams slowly awaken
Buzzing with anticipation
For that road not yet taken

And though it may appear cold
Underneath the earth is humming
Listen, can you hear my voice
Summer, yes Summer is coming

I’m Mother Earth calling to you
Perhaps now more than ever
Take care of me and each other
Don’t make me wait forever

Let me deal with this
And listen to my voice
There are many ways to connect
You as peopl...

Why The Batman is called The Batman – a review

(Be aware, this review contains spoilers)

Let me start by saying I absolutely LOVE Pattinson. Yes, I loved him in the Twilight Saga, I thought Remember Me was great and who didn’t cry when Cedric Diggory died, even if we didn’t know the character that well.

The Batman trailer

Having said that, The Batman did nothing for me. No elevated heart rate, not one tear in sight and just a few little smiles.

So, in my humble opinion, what is wrong with this latest addition to the Batman fran...

International Women’s Day

To all the amazing women in my life
Baby girl, teenager, granny, mother or wife
You’re so much more than a word
It’s not about wearing pants or a skirt

It’s about our voice
To cry, to laugh, to scream, to whisper
Yes or no, that’s our choice

We are stronger together
To love, to fight, to achieve, to heal
All those things matter

They matter to the women I know
Family, friends, colleagues or personal hero
You are all an inspiration to me
I just wish the whole world could see…

When we unite, me b...

A bit of Magic in the Air

A bit of magic in the air

When the rain is pouring down
And the sun is breaking through
I know magic is about to happen
I crane my neck to look for you

First the red
Grounding me to the earth
This is where I belong
The planet of my birth

Then the orange
Emotions running free
Creativity flows
Reaching out to me

I see the yellow
Bright as the sunwheel
Fuelling me with fire
It’s confidence I feel

Out comes the green
The colour of my heart
Peace of mind knowing
You were there from the start

When ...

How I met Philip Carr Gomm

I first met Philip in 2004. I had seen him before at lectures or festivals in the Netherlands, but we never spoke. So many people seemed to want his attention, and I understood why from the start. Philip has that special something some people have. You gravitate towards them. My personal opinion? Because they are good for your soul. They radiate light. He has it. In abundance, and people see and feel that.

Surprise visit to my surgeon

So yesterday I went to the hospital to surprise my surgeon by giving him my first 10k run medal after surgery.

I was told it would be a small miracle if I would ever run again. But I did!

Sunday, June 16 I ran the Pink Ribbon Ladies Run in Rotterdam with my best friend Mariska.

I wrote this entry on facebook that day;

Today is the day! My first 10km. after surgery. I remember the day my doctors said I would never run again like it was yesterday.

Special day. For me and for others. One year...
