natural cycles and being a multi-passionate

12/5/2015

ehmmm aquaman??

There used to be these huge things in my life before motherhood and having a little business of my own.. :-) two bundles of joy, how they say :-) Like, the Easter, the holidays, the Christmas.. you know, the big things.. and the small one, like full moon, new moon - and let's not forget, day and night :-)

I am still aligned with the natural cycles.. (Although arguably the Easter happening is more man made than natural)..

I am, I am still aligned, especially my body is.
In the same time there are other cycles, natural to me now, that are in the spot light nowadays..

In my little family, it's superhero time already a few months - and while we went through the well-known Superman, Spider-Man, Batman and the more modern Ironman and Thor, we are now in the 'invent a new one' phase, where V is inventing a new superhero or two everyday.

It is fun and exciting to see what he comes up with and how he adapts what he sees on YouTube to make his own costume and see it as 'the real thing'..

Garden of Eden, Dream Art May 2014

Emotion. Energy in Motion. Joy. Gratefulness. Love. So So Beautiful. So much Love. Like a foreign language that I suddenly totally grasp and deeply understand, fleeting, being created and disappearing, in the same time, under my own eyes. The feeling that I suddenly have arrived. Awe that I am alive and am here - and the enormous feeling that - other than life feels every moment, other than forgetfulness, other than not being aware - that I am Here. Now. I see History of Beauty being made. In my ears, as the Listener, in my eyes, as the One who Sees. I am actively participating, I am creating This. And that is also the truth for everybody that shares this sacred space with us right now. I am not making the music and still I am, just because I am here. My body does not move but in my heart I fly, I dance, I am ecstasy energy swirling, I am in the same time singing and playing the piano, I am the piano.I am the guitar. I am the Sound. And I am in the same moment outside, in the sun, between the clouds and in the grass under a tree and falling into the deep blue sky.
Don't want it to end. Ever. I want to live my whole life like this, totally connected and here. Today. Here. Connected. (in awe, at the Dream Concert, May 18th, 2014)
With Dymphi, Julia, Glenn, Lies, Gerard, Thierry, Yarah, Onno, Leona, André, Freek, Terence

April's shine - day 7/30: where are you in this moment?

6/4/2013

Day 7: where are you in this moment?

And how are you?

Did you have the time to read every day's prompts or at least take the vids in?

Did you take the time to look inside?

Do you honor your life as it is? Can you see how your life is great and why you might have chosen to be where you are now?

Did you bump up against some ssstuff? :-)
I would like to encourage you to let the stuff out :-)

April's Shine, day 4/30: ignite your creations

3/4/2013

ignite your creation!

Oopsy... today I was not able to make any video.

I was going to this morning but I couldn't.

I was going to make it after we came from the market but my son had a particularly challenging day today and he is still like totally glued to me.

He tends to do that when he does not like something - and lately he definitively does not like to go to the market..

I wish I could spare him that but it is not in the cards at the moment..

So he also decided to not let me do anything else today - and he is telling it quite loud and clear at the moment from my lap while I write:-) If I would try to make a vid I know it could get frustrating for both of us in such a moment, so I will not attempt it:-)

April's Shine, day 3/30: honoring creation

2/4/2013

Welcome to day 3 of April's SHINE!

Today I share a few of the things I "do" every day to keep everything smooth and.. conscious..

I write journal, I make a drawing, I drink green smoothies, I write my love journal.

It makes me realize what amazing things I have in my life and it makes also a good material anchor for my (shining) process.

Thus, an invitation for you to start doing some of these things, if not all of them:-) If I can do it, you can:-)

Just 3 more days to April's SHINE Challenge:-) Exciting

3 more days to April's Shine Challenge!

It's almost here!!!

When I proposed an April SHINE challenge that would bring us from the Winter Slumber to the Sunny Summer I had no idea that the winter will still be lounging in my garden!

But still, it is. It is snowing today as we speak and write and read..:-)

Thus I believe a Shining Challenge is totally in order. It starts in 3 days, on April 1st (no fools here, right?), and for most of us it will be right after we had delighted in all those Easter chocolate rabbits and eggs:-)

I am sure most of you can relate..:-)

.. (if not, much muchos muchos respect for you!!)

I invite you to become friends with yourself. If you are already, even better, think of how you can make this friendship even sweeter. Think, how would you treat a loved one if she/he would come to visit for only 30! Days?

I invite you to commit to yourself. From one Shining Mama to other Shining Mama's (and we have a few Shining Papa's amongst us, too!!) - I am honored that you go along with me on this journey and I applaud you for being willing to take the time for yourself.

SHINE! credo

green smoothie and cacao cashew milk

green smoothie and cacao cashew milk

Did you notice how things are mixing with each other creating this ama-zing wirwar? Kinda like these picture of my smoothies and cacao almond milk between the cars and the pencils and all that:-)

Today I do not even know where to start.

To talk about my new recipes and super new recipes blog?
(all about that: here)

To jump up and down about my new collage technique and my new art blog ? (see here)

To be silent and go inside and acknowledge the cold air of winter and how that makes me want curl up in a corner?

Or to tell about how I run on the corridors with V, doing "the busses" (with colored straws as wipers and singing "the wheels of the bus" out loud..)..?

And yet again, I should just maybe only tell you about this new energy I feel around me and in me, that surrounds everything I do these days. It is 2013, so that is where it starts:-)

so I have decided

28/6/2012

So I have decided!

In the beginning was Greenz 4 Momz about the green juices and smoothies and the great things that come from drinking green. But little by little it became a symbol for a lot of other things, too.

It is about giving the green moms the thumbs up: green for green moms! Moms can be here who they are. I am so happy to keep the sacred space for mothers and mothers to be.

It's about giving moms the green stuff via my writing and videos. It's about growing and grounding and blossoming and being in the sun.
It's about me being of service.

It's about the green stuff and why we need it. It is what makes us grow. Inside and outside. It is liquid sunshine that makes us glow.

It's about motherhood. It's about green motherhood, natural mama. It's about being so close to the nature as it possible is on the Earth right now.

It's about Mother Earth. It's about what she gives us and what I am grateful for.

It's about..

10 things I love day 3

3/2/2012

1. I love that we woke up so late today and slept long and well
2. I love that the weather is so soft now, actually warmer than most of the summer.
3. I love my hair today, it’s curly by nature and today it seems untamable. What others call a bad hair day, I call a hair personality revolution:-)
4. I love my son’s nose. I love my nose. Both challenging these days because of a long flu.
5. I love the new arrangement in our apartment, I like to change it often (when I feel that we get stuck) and this particular one gives us more space to move (so more space for my son’s induced chaos yay!)
6. I love the bread I bought this week for the first time from the market. It has the perfect structure and a lot of yummy seeds.
7. I love to write this list! It’s a date with myself and in the same time with our whole wide beautiful world.
8. I love that this next spring I am embarking on the adventure of my first vegetable garden. Already a few years long I wanted to be connected to the Earth in this way.
9. I love that yesterday I changed my website to make it even clearer. It feels like clearing the air, the same as clearing the space.
10. I love the technology that allows us to be connected in this way. I love the internet and my little laptop.

10 things I love day 2

2/2/2012

I love ME today. Just like that. Wow, if I would not write this list I would probably not even notice it!!! In my pj’s, with the white laptop on my lap, drinking my green petit dejeuner, hearing on the background the film (starring himself) my son is looking at.
I love the taste of lemon in my smoothie and how, together with fresh mint, it makes me zing.
I love that my son just started enjoying peanut butter.
I love the Sun.
I love the Earth.
I love my pink trousers and my warm red jacket (which I will wear today!).
I love my reading glasses (which at the moment help me write)
I love my voice (right now it’s very low because I was coughing a lot lately)
I love my white fairy transparent curtains with spiraling leaves and how they glow in the sun
I love the encaustic painting (which I made) I hanged on my wall. It’s made with poured wax and was an experiment in my last series of encaustic. On the surface there are 4 small knitted beautiful flowers, just floating. In the depth you can see faces and bodies and animals, on the surface is also a wax dancer, wax flowers, wax snow and other wax forms that invite you to dream and imagine.
