LIFE LESSONS FROM A WITCH 🧙🏼‍♀️ I jus

LIFE LESSONS FROM A WITCH 🧙🏼‍♀️

I just experienced a psychedelic journey in an MDMA retreat. The 1-on-1 guided psychedelic journey was completely different than expected. Instead of a loving feeling, I experienced life as a witch in the Middle Ages. Not really a pleasant experience, but it did give me new insights. I wrote a blog about it, also about the positive effects of the ‘digital detox’ surrounding it.

Have you ever done anything like that? I am curious to hear about your experiences and insights!

Read about my MDMA experience in the blog in my bio.

WHAT ALZHEIMER CAN TEACH US Today, on World #Alzh

WHAT ALZHEIMER CAN TEACH US

Today, on World #Alzheimer's day I want to honor everybody who is touched by this disease; patients, families, friends and caretakers 🙏

I wrote this poem for my dad.

We are often so consumed by ‘things’. Let’s focus on love; it’s the only thing we know for sure that is always there. It may be the last thing that remains of a person…

You’re leaving us little by little
Your body is still here, but your mind is drifting further away
It’s scary to see how a mind that was once so sharp now has problems with simple things
Once you made lots of money, now even simple math is too much
Once you traveled all over the world, now you don’t remember where you live
Once you provided for your family, now you forget to eat and drink
You can still tell stories, it’s just that you repeat the same ones over and over
You still crack jokes, but they’re always the same
And you ask interested question, but you forget the answers
Some people change personality because of this horrible disease
Fortunately, you seem to become more open and loving every day
We help you where we can, but you want to be independent
One thing is still the same: you are still as stubborn as ever!
You try to keep your grip on the world around you, but it’s slipping through your fingers like sand.
When you can’t trust yourself anymore, the world becomes an overwhelming place, so you’d rather stay at home
Watching CNN, over and over again.
I wish you’d concentrate on happier things, but you seem content
Maybe CNN is made for people like you; repeating the same ‘news’ over and over
It has become your lifeline to the world
Every day you go for an hour walk around the golf course
Always in the same direction so you don’t get confused
I wish I could walk beside you more often
Instead I call you on Facetime and show you the places I visit
You remember most of them -from your travels- and tell me stories I already know
This is our life now, connected by technology
And by LOVE
You’re leaving us little by little
But you’re still here and that’s what counts!
I know there will be a day when I wish I could hear you tell that same old joke again and again…
So please, tell me again…

❤️

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED OUTSOURCING SMALL TASKS? It c

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED OUTSOURCING SMALL TASKS?

It can save you so much time and energy, and it can be fun too. I have been using Fiverr a lot. Both for serious tasks (solving Excel or Wordpress problems for example) and for fun things (such as creating a hilarious birthday video for my mom).

Starting at just $5 per 'gig' it is absolutely worth trying.

Just browsing through the possibilities gives so much inspiration.

It is also a great platform to MAKE some money, especially in these times. Give the link to your teenage kids and watch them figure out how to make some money by doing the things they are good at and enjoy this international market place. 🌏

Fiverr has provided so much value and learning opportunities for me over the past years. I wish you happy discoveries and happy outsourcing!

Want to learn more about Digital Delegation? Check out my live online workshop on Wednesday October 18th, 12 – 13.30 PM (CET/Amsterdam time), where I share all my secrets…👀

ME? A MUSEUM EXHIBIT?

In 2015 I was the first digital nomad to have their own exhibition in a museum. Come to think of it, I may even be the only one, ever…😂

My story, photos and old passports were displayed at the emigration exhibition "I am leaving" in the beautiful Flehite museum in Amersfoort, The Netherlands. The idea was to show a day in the life of a digital nomad.

Many people got inspired about this new "category" in travel and emigration and I still can’t believe that this actually happened. 🙏

P.S. If you want to know more about this lifestyle, soon I'm giving a Digital Nomad workshop. Link in the bio.

LOCATION INDEPENDENT ENTREPRENEUR

Hi! Let me introduce my 'digital nomad' side to you. I am originally from The Netherlands, but I got ‘fired’ from my country because I travel too much. I live a life of complete freedom. I have traveled to more than 100 countries and now keep visiting the ones that I like best. In the past 15 years I have not been in the same place for more than 4 weeks. 🌎

My life may sound like a dream (and it does have a lot of perks!) but it is not always easy. Because I don’t fit in the system, I constantly get into problems with authorities. I had to find a solution for my registration, taxes, insurance, company, bank accounts, passport etc. 👀

Because I know that there are a lot of people who want more freedom (especially now!), I am sharing all my knowledge and experience. I wrote two books about this topic: ‘Digital Nomads, how to live, work & play around the world’ and the Dutch ‘Handboek voor wereldburgers’. 📖

Plus I regularly organize an online ‘Digital Nomad workshop’ where I give practical tips, answer all your questions and help you to design your dream life. When you register, you will receive some videos that I recorded about the most important subjects, so you can get started immediately. During the live online session I will help each of the small groups with their situation. The next one is on Sept 13th, link in the comments/bio. Come and join me. 👩🏼‍💻

This live online workshop may be the first step towards your new life!

CONGRATS @stephensteers_! 🥳

I always thought writing a book was a pipe dream. I had no idea what to do or how to start…until I met Esther.

I attended Esther’s book writing workshop in Mexico City where she shared her Reverse Writing technique. It blew my mind. I finally knew what to do. With Esther’s support through the process a long time dream came to life. I can now proudly call myself an author! Thank you Esther! 🖋
