This traveling ride to Guiné Bissau … Continue reading Mission 2.0 – Week 1: Here But Not Completely Here Yet
How To Be A Daughter?
The answer to that, I did not know. It may sound weird, because once we're born, I guess we're all automatically sons and daughters. But think about it. If parents, who become parents once their children are born, have preparation courses and books on how to parent and be parents. And they spend years learning … Continue reading How To Be A Daughter?
When The Urge to Sprout Is Stronger Than The Urge to Stay Buried
26-10-2025Waking up in the morning with the urge to write… to put it back out there, to release, let go, open my arms and jump again. Trusting, freely, lightly. With “leveza”.

Not just a short text message, a small commentary on a post or episode where I don't have to think or reflect too much on, or bits and pieces of the day or moments that happen. No, I'm now sitting down … Continue reading Nurturing My Heart’s Garden
