This week flew by. I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already! There’s a good reason why perception of time is a bit different for me this week. It went by almost in a continuous blur. I lost quite some sleep this week, as a result of having a to-do list that is longer than I likeContinue reading “The solution for a problem that doesn’t exist”

A solid nine
After one and a half week away from home and sleeping in Airbnb’s and hotels, I finally arrived back home. I love traveling, I love seeing new places, but I also love sleeping in my own bed.

His mother quickly rises to comfort him back to sleep, while quickly dozing off in the second bed. It’s quiet…Continue reading “How do you sleep at night?”
Small ideas
I’m staring at my screen and I have totally forgotten what I wanted to write about… what happened? One of the benefits I observe from having written every day for two months now, is that you tend to get these ‘small ideas’ for stories or conversations to write about and that keep bubbling up inContinue reading “Small ideas”
