Horace Mann: “Resolve to edge in a little reading every day, if it is but a single sentence. If you gain fifteen minutes a day, it will make itself felt at the end of the year.”

A retreat in the sun?

Monday, January 7th, 2013

So, I arrived in Curaçao after a pretty uneventful flight (some sleep and two movies) and had a warm welcome on the island; a big rain storm! 🙁 Oh well, predictions show *much* better weather from tomorrow, and today is mostly gone anyway (I need some sleeeeppp! 😉 ). I just checked into my hotel, ‘t Klooster, dutch for ‘The Monastery’…uhhh…seriously?? 😉

Well we will see, for now the idea of a retreat in the sun sounds goooddddd!!

Curacao it will be!!

After a turbulent 2012 with a hectic end, it is time for…VACATION!! I have been going back and forth in the past days where to go and: we have a winner…CURAÇAO it will be!! (and, I will leave tomorrow, yayyy!! 😉 )

I am SO looking forward to 2-3 weeks of loads of sun, paradise beaches, relaxing, reading books, swimming, snorkelling, relaxing, drinking cocktails, exploring the island, exploring the islands nightlife, getting awfully suntanned, some more relaxing…basically enjoying LIFE…I love it!!

Chuck Palahniuk: “When you understand that what you’re telling is just a story. It isn’t happening anymore. When you realize the story you’re telling is just words, when you can just crumble it up and throw your past in the trashcan, then we’ll figure out who you’re going to be.”

Dance and FUN in 2013

Thursday, January 3rd, 2013

Dancing is something I really like, definitely FUN to do, and since the FUN-factor will play a big part in my ‘2013 – year of execution‘, let’s start this year with the Evolution of DanceJudson Laipply‘s perfect visual example of how life changes caught in a YouTube clip!

Are you in? Let’s DANCE everrrrybody!!

 

The clip is almost 7 years old and I never saw it (strange as it has over 200 million views!).

 

In 2009 Judson released ‘Evolution of Dance 2‘…just as good!

Dutch countryside views

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013

I am staying in Gorinchem these days and went for a walk around town following the city walls today. Nice and very interesting, revealing some of Gorinchem‘s history and…stunning views of the countryside ‘outside’ the city walls.

Windmills y’all…NICE! 😉

Jennifer Aniston: “I guess we’d be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well.”

Happy 2013!

Happy New Year y’all!

After the 2012 year of change I feel that 2013 will be the year of execution; everything that needed to be released, changed and transformed in preparation for this year is behind me…the time to execute is NOW, I am ready for 2013!

Oh, and as I am no guy for New Years resolutions, don’t expect them here. 😉 I believe more in New Day resolutions…in the end, January 1 is ‘just’ another new day, eh? (especially when you consider that half the world population (China and India) celebrate New Year on a different date!)

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider: “But then there’s a moment like tonight, a profound and transcendent experience, the feeling as if a door has opened, and it’s all because of that instrument, that incredible, magical instrument.”
