A way of life
Yesterday I was strolling along the beach listening to Eminem singing "Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity . . .” I scribbled yet another Moleskin full of thoughts, lots of random thoughts but as I was doing that slowly things became more and more clear. Earlier that day I took a long hot More +
I started my blog post for today probably over 40 times. The ideas that kept flowing were sheer overwhelming. From simple things like "40 pieces of advise from 40 years" to "40 things I wish to be said at my funeral". Fact is I just turned 40. And I feel great. My head is all over the place. Scattered More +
It's easier to learn new words when they are photographed in my head. So I made 10 more images of words I want to remember and added some context. As with everything in life; Context is extremely helpful :-) “Il n'y a pas de hors-texte” as Jacques Derrida said . . . "Rhett, Don't start flirting with More +
Some words say so much more than just the few letters the word is made up off . . . My word of the day is: Zoetic not unconscious, not dead, not deceased, not dull, not lifeless, not sluggish, not spiritless but awake, viable, living, vital, growing, knowing, breathing, dynamic, conscious Yep, I am in More +
This morning I saw a post from Peter Shankman on Facebook picturing a happy girl at her graduation with a sweet smile and a sign. A sign that caused quite some commotion.

They did a good job - they even cleaned up the kitchen afterwards. So I told her: “Yes you can. We can make Mother's Day a bit a More +
In the movie of my life, my mom is the leading light. Omnipresent even when we are miles apart. She is with me every step I take. She taught me I can be everything I want to be. My self-confidence, my passion, my drive. I owe it to my mom. Without her, I would not even exist. She taught me to be grateful, More +
When I dance, I forget the world around me. Nothing matters anymore I just feel completely happy. Friedrich Nietzsche said: "I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance." I couldn't agree more. Dancing is something divine. Pure joy. Here is a little video that I truly enjoyed More +
For years, the only thing I would close my email with was a little dash and my name. No Goodbye, no kind regards just – Titia. Very bare bone. I think I copied this from my boss back then, and it soon was the way many people in my company signed off on their email. Herd behavior - to a certain degree we More +
I only learned about Throwback Thursday perhaps two months ago. I can be a bit behind ;-) My high school boyfriend posted a photo on Facebook that brought back a ton of memories. Fond memories. The idea of posting old photos absolutely has its charm. Memories sure can warm the heart. A few days back I More +
