Feeding our love
Each of us can learn the art of nourishing happiness & love. Everything needs food to live, even love. If we don't know how to nourish our love, it withers. When we feed and support our own happiness, we are nourishing our ability to love. That's why to love means to learn the art of nourishing our happiness.

Moments of gratitude
Just home from a meeting with 18 dutch speaking international certified trainers in NonViolentCommunication.
First time for me in this setting.
Very happy with this encounter-- i feel enriched so much insipration-recognation ---knowledge and a warm welcoming.
I deeply believe by opening my eyes and embrace to what life offers me--- things happen on the right time.
I am very grateful for my path & NVC journey.

Moments of gratitude

s' ochtends word ik wakker en glimlach.
vierentwintig gloednieuwe uren liggen voor me.
ik neem me voor ieder moment ten volle te leven en met mededogen naar alle levende wezens te kijken.

Moments of gratitude
ik mag terugblikken op een week vol trainingen----
ben er blij en dankbaar hierover; ik doe dit met veel liefde & vreugde---- inspelen op de deelnemers --- ze ontmoeten waar ze zijn op dit moment--- uitnodigen om op ontdekkingsreis te gaan---
oefenen om met een frisse blik en mildheid naar zichzelf en de wereld te kijken ----- zichzelf te openen voor de verwondering---- het communiceren vanuit het hart. Omhelzen wat er is---- licht & schaduw; want het is er toch. En het kost zoveel energie en moeite om het weg te duwen of te onderdrukken. Omhelzen is misschien een wat onwennige beweging --- kost wat moed en met compassie gedaan geeft het veel energie & inzichten!
En verbinding met de magie van het leven.
Deeply grateful for the experiences

Moments of gratitude

I am pretty much excited about going to Berlin and giving workshops there in a hospital about NonViolentCommunication; even my mother language is german; i transformed the last 20 years into Amsterdammer---- so i feel excited about finding the right words---- i am grateful for this challenge; by encounter other worlds --- different people with different values --- it helps to see life in a larger perspective what i deeply appreciate; this brings me to a similar theme;
I have just read that Sinead o Connor is missed since this morning; and Somehow that touches me --- because her songs and her haircut gave me a lot of inspiration and joy in a rebellious time of my life.
and i have read that people worry about her because she was sufferig from depression;
Which i did not know---- and that made me think--- that we do not know what is alive in one and another--- we often think we know and we judge a lot about what we see at the outer face --- the outside---as i did think about Sinead that she is a beautiful talented woman; and with the talent and the expression and her succes i am convinced in my thoughts that she is happy---- but i dont know---
So what i just realize is that i wanna be more sensitive towards people around me --- being more interested to all people --- ( Well i am already, but we can always cultivate more) being more kind; more helpfull; actually love more myself and others ....
To celebrate life moment by moment with light & shadows---- i embrace it all---
