The last months of a special year...


It's the beginning of the last months of 2020...

A year that for all of us is different than we expected

and exactly as it should be....

A year of change

A year of transformation.....

How did you do?

Did you get lot's of mirrors and could you look inside,

or was it too hard....

When I looked back at my last post of 2019, I wrote:

'In 2007/2008 we ended the year with lot's of fog,

the same as this year -2019-. Do you remember what happened in 2008?'

Are we still in the 'fog'

or is the sun clearing the fog....


Often we don't see the whole picture


Often we react from old pain 

instead of looking at the whole picture...

The netflix serie 'Rita' is a great story.

I started watching it 
because it is a story 
about an unconventional teacher,
and I was sure 
I would recognize situations and reactions ;-)

It was much more.....
It is a story about authenticity,
about pain,
old patterns and.....
making sure children can be themselves....

It seems that 'Rita' Knows what she does
even though there are some challenges
in her personal life.


In season 4 her teenage years and adult years come together.
A healing from her inner child.,
and all of a sudden 
her wearing a lumberjack shirt all the time
gets meaning.....

How can you love yourself,
if you feel you are not being loved?!?
How do you 'demand' love
and.....can you take the next step:
heal the hurt
and
still take care of others
only 
now....
without hurting yourself anymore.....

At the end she wears her lumberjacks again,
now instead from pain,
it is from love and determination......


We walk our own path
in our own time....

In the beginning of our life,
it is our parents who 'know best'....
at least that is what we hope, think, expect...
In an ideal world they are best....
However they have there 'wounds' as well..

In school we start believing
that we have to become someone,
in a time 'the school' thinks is right for all.
Sometimes we need more time,
and sometimes we are bored.....
and it can let us believe that we are not good
just the way we are....

This year is a year of transformation
and it looks like
we want to do it in an 'old fashion' way.
We want to blame the teacher,
blame someone, 
because they don't see it our way....
and it doesn't go as we see fit...


Let's stay openminded,
deal with our own emotions
and 'sail'......
Let's not stay in the harbour:
boats are meant to sail,
people are meant to go places....
Where do you want to go?

It could be that so much has happened in your life,
that you are still overwhelmed....
It could be that 'staying in the harbour'
not dealing with your emotions,
feels save.....
only....you don't go anywhere....

Perhaps it is still easier to give than to receive....
because deep down 
there is a believe
that receiving comes with pain and heartache,
it comes with conditions...


'All together now' is a great movie.
It shows how a teenager
takes over a parent roll and 'forgets' to be 
'just a teenager'...

I am sure lot's of you can relate to this
and
perhaps you still do
and 'forget' to live your own life...
Perhaps you feel you are surviving,
instead of living...
Do you feel being heard, being seen?
Do you listen to your self,
do you See yourself?


We are 'all together now'....

We can choose to demonstrate, 
to fight, to blame 
and forget that we are part of the whole
or we can choose to 'bury our head in the sand'.
We also can choose to trust.
To make our part of the whole,
as good as it can be,
so we talk from inner power
instead of inner pain.


'All together now' is an amazing movie.....
Like the serie 'Rita',
it fits in this special year...

Let's choose to accept all we receive,
even if it is challenging sometimes.
Let's choose to be grateful,
be proud of ourselves.
Let's go on with letting go,
so we have space for all that makes us happy.
Let's be 'magnets'
and attract what we love...
effortless...

Let's choose to sail...
and leave the harbour.

and....
choose to take time for YOU,
to reflect, to enjoy and be happy...
even if it is for a few minutes a day
to start with....
