WRD: Week 18 – Liberation
Tweet While the US is celebrating Cinco de Mayo, here in the Netherlands we have the Dodenherdenking (Remembrance of the Dead) and Bevrijdingsdag (Liberation Day).

Weekly Run Down: Planned vs. Reality Recovery
Tweet What up my friends? Week 14 of 2019 is basically history and we are on to the next. It’s curious how so many of us can’t believe the speed at which our lives pass through each week and month and year, no? It seems to me that this speed means we are making the…

Week 28 – Successes and Failures (rounds up to success, right?)

Week 27 – It’s not like on TV
Tweet Dang it I wish the weeks wouldn’t fly by so quickly! There’s a big lesson I learned this week – all the things you try to do in your own reality, it’s definitely not like on TV. You don’t transform your entire house within a week (or less), you don’t become an amazing athlete…
Week 26 – Halfway There
Tweet Can you guys believe it? Half the year is over already! Holy Cannoli! Here’s how things went down last week: Work It’s been pretty stressful the last few weeks. At least with my colleague back from his vacation it’s been a bit better but not much. And pretty soon my manager will be away…
