The Zone of Lovely
Whether something comes to us freely or with a lot of effort is quite irrelevant. What counts is the feeling that it elicits. When we like it, we take care of it. Ambivalence or outright dislike can not draw out responsibility and loving behaviour — not in the long run. What we truly care aboutContinue reading “The Zone of Lovely”
Preferences Communicate Consciousness
Just for today, I am grateful for the abundant proof I have been given that a person’s consciousness captures the present and sets the stage for her / his future. Therefore, if your intent is to really know another person, observe her / his consciousness. If you really want to understand chapters of your life,Continue reading “Preferences Communicate Consciousness”
Mind Your Mind
Aware of your blessings, one encounter will not affect you too much. But while unaware of your blessings, that one cheeser can mess you up big time. What this means is that your mind is susceptible. That is a good thing only after you have accepted that you are the nurturer of your mind. IfContinue reading “Mind Your Mind”
A Little Prosocial Calm
A little prosocial calm goes a long way. It is an attitude that will never go out of style. It can restore faith in humanity, and it can revive trust in yourself. It amplifies all your good qualities in the eyes of others, and it brings kindness to how you relate to yourself. Make useContinue reading “A Little Prosocial Calm”
Set the Tone
Set the tone in your home, in your work place, and with your friends, then the chaos outside will rattle you less. It may not be easy to establish respect and love (with those who can’t appreciate it), but it is the one thing you will not need to undo later on, it is theContinue reading “Set the Tone”
Gift to the Giver
How many of your blessings do you enjoy simply by living on earth? Is it fair to say that the earth provided almost everything that adds to your health and happiness? Why don’t you find a spot you enjoy on this day and tell the earth, “Thank You for Everything”? “Thank you for everything IContinue reading “Gift to the Giver”
Taking Care of the Earth
Taking care of the earth is taking care of our being on earth, starting with my being on earth. NJ22 July 2016
Happy Birthday, George Clinton.
Thank you for oozing endless, ecstatic elation. Thank you for writing the soundtrack to my happiest memories. I suggest that a pleasure centre in the brain be named after you, in your honour. Many scrumptious returns to you. \♡/ NJ 22 July 2012
Tomatoes, Zero Waste
Not only can you clone your (best) tomatoes from branches, you can also add the leaves to your dishes. Give it a try in a salad, in tomato sauce or in pesto. The leaves taste quite similar to the fruit. Like the herb version, less watery and succulent, but with the familiar, and enhanced, aromaContinue reading “Tomatoes, Zero Waste”
Viva Carlos
A memory of a Santana concert in 2018: Between the songs, Carlos shared highly uplifting ideas about how a collective choice for love can impact the conditions in which we live, heal even unwell situations, make those we come in contact with think in fresh ways, find solutions, stop engaging in harm, and how itContinue reading “Viva Carlos”
New moon in Cancer
Happy new moon in Cancer. New moons are the most cleansing days of every moon cycle. You can benefit from that by giving your body a digestive break, by cleaning objects that need cleaning, by cleaning up your house. Cancer is the astrological archetype most connected to “home” and family “stuff”. Today is an excellentContinue reading “New moon in Cancer”
Carlos’ Words
“You know, where we are today is instead of giving somebody a fish or teaching somebody how to fish, let us investigate who owns the lake. Keep it pristine. Don’t pollute it. Don’t trash your water, your mind, your body.” Carl♡s Santana, born on 20 July 1947 I appreciate the food for thought and theContinue reading “Carlos’ Words”
Carlos’ 70th Birthday
It is clear that Carlos Santana has done more for the unity, harmony and well-being in our world, more for the rise of love and bliss, even the identification with them as guiding principles for life … than all new thought teachers, psychologists, philosophers, new agers, many others who declare good principles but come shortContinue reading “Carlos’ 70th Birthday”
Closer to Radiant Health
Ask to be led to radiant health. Consciousness will start offering solutions. Acknowledge them. Then, do what you are being shown. Don’t stay in the browsing stage. Instead, follow up. Surprising and unusual paths are solutions too. Welcome them on your journey to radiant health. Maybe your heart needs just that ingredient to power yourContinue reading “Closer to Radiant Health”
Yes to Place
Watersheds, jaw dropping scenes of nature, even contained and tamed nature – in other words, gardens – can instill connection with and pride in the locality. Connection with and pride in the locality is what will heal the earth and help us rethink our power. It engages our love and makes us contribute with loveContinue reading “Yes to Place”
Uneventful Days
Stay on course on uneventful days. It is the less intense days that offer spaciousness, a friendly break from soap operas, a yummy opportunity to appreciate your journey. The better you tolerate beige days, the saner you are. A meditator welcomes such days for practice. A creative knows that these days precede manifestation. Tranquility isContinue reading “Uneventful Days”
The Gift of the Garden
If you have a prolific, tough, self-sufficient weed that is also medicinal, edible and highly attractive like purslane, don’t throw it in the compost. Give it its own place to shine. I have placed pots with purslane that I collected in garden beds while weeding all over the sunny spots of my garden. I enjoyContinue reading “The Gift of the Garden”

Friday, Reiki Day
Just for today, I am grateful for Friday, a day to practice reiki and meditate and know the unity of life. 27 March 2015
