Inspiration shot July 2022<\/h3>\n<\/div>

The past three months have been hectic. I got corona, one of my father’s caretakers suddenly left, I had to deal with the end of a complicated years-long relationship, lost my suitcase with ALL my clothes and found out that my olive trees are infected with a deadly disease. In addition, I continued to have problems with people I hired through an agency and had to transfer a number of projects for the fifth time(!).
\nOf course, there were also nice things; I bought another apartment in Italy, am in the early stages of a new relationship, and enjoyed two parties for my birthday. In the meantime, my work as a book-writing coach also continued and I helped four people to finish their books.
\nAll this while traveling through 10 countries on 3 continents, organizing 4 retreats, attending 2 conferences and supervising 2 construction projects in Italy. This was quite a lot, even for me in just three months!
\nHow do you keep your energy constant while everything changes around you? Some tips in this Inspiration shot.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Conscious uncoupling<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Unfortunately, most relationships end in conflict. That takes a lot of energy. A years-long complicated relationship had already cost me a lot of energy. Was there a way to close it in a good and beautiful way? I had read about conscious uncoupling and wanted to give it a try. We put together a ceremony and it was magical!
\nA wonderful experience to transcend ‘the story’ and to look from a higher level at what you have learned from a relationship. How you have grown, and how you can continue together as friends, without the relationship part.
\nI recommend it to everyone, even if your ex is not cooperating. You can also do this on your own. I wrote a\u00a0blog about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

My olive trees are dying?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

I am afraid my Italian dream is turning into a nightmare. The deadly bacterium Xylella, which has already killed all olive trees in the south of Italy, has arrived at my Tiny Trullo land. Google confirmed: there’s really nothing you can do about it.
\nI felt defeated and powerless. All the locals seem to resign themselves to it or try to ignore it or hope for a miracle. I just can’t give up. My land, all of Puglia, is nothing without those majestic centuries-old olive trees.
\nThrough word of mouth I about an experiment, which gives a glimmer of hope. Just the feeling of trying something gives me energy and control, the feeling of not being dependent, not having to sit and wait for the blow to fall. Read more in my blog\u00a0‘Save my olive trees!’<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Lost everything<\/h2>\n<\/div>

On the way from Puglia to the Netherlands, my hand luggage was confiscated under protest, as I got onto the plane. I was already afraid this would happen: my bag never arrived at Schiphol. So frustrating! I literally had nothing: no toothbrush, no underwear, no flip-flops, and no sportswear. It also meant a lot of work: improvising temporarily, buying the essentials, and then re-ordering things. That will cost time, money, and energy, which are scarce anyway. Scarcity gives a feeling of stress and pressure.
\nWhen I realized what I had lost, I panicked a bit at first. My super well coordinated capsule wardrobe, which I’ve collected over the past few years: gone. Many of the items I could never get back.
\nStill, I found a way to turn this into an ‘opportunity’. Of course, they are just “things”. I visualize every day that my bag is found and how happy I am to get it back. And in the meantime, I’m going shopping at KLM’s expense. See my new dress below.
\nPS. just before sending this email, I managed to collect my bag from Schiphol!\u00a0Check out these happy pictures.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>
