Congo, Intervisie and realms meeting

I can worry endlessly about money but today I have decided to give some to a good cause. The refugees in Congo. I am so afraid that it is going the same way as the genocide in Rwanda over ten years ago. And that the conflict will reach Rwanda again. This cause is closer to my heart then several others because a good friend of mine is from Rwanda. To hear him talk about what happened to his family is heartwrenching and it shouldn't happen again. This time I hope the world will not wait and watch but act before it is too late. There isn't much I can do myself but give some money. For dutch people, look here: stichting vluchteling.

Today I am going to take it easy, as tonight will be an intensive night. I think I have said before that in preparation for the practice I am following some more lessons and part of that is an intervisie group. Here we help each other with questions from our life and work that we need some help with. Tonight it is my turn to bring in a question. I am not that nervous, not as bad as I thought it would be. But I am anticipating what kind of advice the group will give me. It is a great group, very respectfull so I know it will be from the heart. Yet will it be something that I am ready and willing to hear? That is the question.

Tomorrow will be more relaxing. I am a member of a romantic book forum here in the Netherlands and Belgium and I am going to be meeting them for the first time tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to that hugely. And of course I will let you know how it went. Maybe on sunday but it can be that I am so exhausted then that I will have a quiet day. Even nice things can be exhausting. Yet they are worht it!!!!

Sixth holiday blog

We are coming to the end of my holiday. Friday was the last day of sightseeing and we had selected Porthsmouth. Again not too far a drive from Winchester. Here you can see two great historic ships. The first is HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar. Last time I was here you went in with a guided tour, now it was selfguided. And I remem bered correctly how hard it is on us who are a bit taller. With 1.84 it is not fun. And the poor captain of the boat was 1.93. While would anyone of that length want to enter the navy of that time is beyond me. We all enjoyed the tour very much and after this one we went to the Mary Rose museum. She is a Tudor royal ship, named after Henry VIII's favorite sister. There is about half of the ship left and it is still being sprayed with a solution to save her. Amazing that it sunk almost 500 years ago. This year in September she will be dry and then they will preserve her and build a new museum that will open in 2012. I do want to come bac...

Flow!

Image
Flow is a wonderfull thing, it makes you creative and you want to keep going and going without ever stopping what you are doing. But.... if you are a chronic sufferer like me, it has it's drawbacks. I function very well if I take many a n to my practice in fact. It came to me last week. I don't have my own space for sessions so I have to rent. I like to communicate with people all over the world and already want to work with people from foreign countries who live in the Netherlands. Why not branch out to internet coaching? And use modern techniques as voice and video on the computer. I could then branch out to people who are thinking about moving and give them advice. And even do regular counseling/coaching for people who find it hard to come to my location. nd long breaks throughout the day. And well that kinda breaks the flow. finding my way in this process has taken me a long time. And I am there now, most of the time. This week I found it very difficult to stop in time, bef...

Dutch drivers

Image
There are days that I hate Dutch drivers! I had to take my dad to the hospital this morning for a check-up and of course it as during rush hour. In town I have to cross a point were it is almost impossible to get on the road at that hour because nobody will let you in. So I avoided this point by taking a detour and ended up there on the right road. Now I was thinking about the other people who have trouble merging in. And I let one car in what all the cars ahead of me didn't do. But then the other cars waiting pushed their way in in front of me. And that makes me mad!!!! you try to help and then they take advantage of you. Not good! At the hospital which we made with minutes to spare we found out that the doctor had been stuck in traffic and there was a 45 minutes delay. Grrrrrr not a nice morning. Started a new book this morning when I got home. romantic historical novel set in the time of Charles I. It is a new writer for me, so it is wait and see. I like a good story in my roma...
