Full moon! 🎑
.

Yesterday it was full moon in Cancer. All week, my emotions have been very strong. For years, I never really believed in the full moon and its energy, but I have increasingly noticed that I am often more emotional around the full moon. I started keeping track, read about it, got my own moon calender (@moonsistersmooncalendar) and now it makes more sense to me.

Do you believe in the energy of the (full) moon? If so, has the full moon also affected your mood this week?

The power of music! 🎶

Last month, I went to a @mattsimonsmusic concert especially to hear "that one special song" live and performed by the artist himself. It was a great concert! And afterwards, I was even able to thank him personally for making this special song and to tell him what it did, and still does, to me! 🙏
Tonight, exactly 1 month after, this song was played at a memorial concert where I went to to commemorate my grandma. Among all the classics, this song was played as one of the last of the evening... How special?! 🦋💫
.
The song I'm talking about is "To the water", a duet by the American singer-songwriter @mattsimonsmusic and the Dutch singer @borsato. During my grandma's sickbed, I got introduced to this song (again) and it seems like it "stays" with me ever since... I just have to hear the first notes and lyrics and it touches me right away...

It's so special what music can do for us, I think! Do you also have a song that takes you back to a certain moment or feeling? A song that makes you think of someone or something? 😏🎶

Dear self! 💭

After a turbulent period of grief and a lot of stress (which is an ongoing process), it seems like everything is finally falling into place for me. 🙏
About four weeks ago, I decided to choose for myself more often. I closed some old, long-winded chapters and I've started writing new ones.
By realizing that I already have what it takes - in me (!) - I don't have to keep looking and striving for perfection. This has resulted in less worrying and feeling better about myself. And such a relief that is, I can tell! 🙌
So from now on, I'll "just" go with the flow, take opportunities (and chances as well ;-)) and trust my journey.
I know it's not as easy as it sounds, but I hope to inspire you to do so (or at least try to do so) as well. 'Cause if I can do it, you certainly can! 😉💪

"Girl, you already have what it takes" - yes, I have! Yes, YOU have! ❤️
