If the only possible answer is \u201cYES!\u201d<\/h2>\n

Over the past months I have created space. I thought it was for rest. Life had other plans\u2026<\/p>\n

Do you know that feeling when something unexpected keeps pulling at you, in a completely different direction than you had in mind? When you dare to listen, something can arise that feels bigger than your own schedule. That is exactly what happened to me this month, and suddenly everything started moving very fast\u2026<\/p>\n

Now I am curious, what do you do when the universe knocks on your door and the only possible answer seems to be YES<\/em>?<\/p>\n<\/div>

Mystery school<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>

I thought I was going to spend this winter quietly in my TinyTrullo<\/a> in Puglia. Until I saw a Facebook post about a Mystery School<\/em> in New Zealand that I had heard about before. My first thought was, how wonderful that there are still temple trainings where spiritual knowledge is shared. Maybe one day, ‘when I grow up’, I will do something like that. The post talked about a 6 week training starting February 1st 2026 and invited anyone who feels the \u2018calling’. I scrolled past it.
\nThen I scrolled back. A calling<\/em>. It would not let me go.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe soul shines through the garment of personality, integrating it instead of being hidden by its structure.\u201d<\/em> I could not stop thinking about it.<\/p>\n

But I also felt resistance: so much for my quiet winter. New Zealand is so far away. And I do not really understand what the training is about. A mystery indeed. Still the feeling got stronger. I HAVE to be there. So this is what they mean by a calling.<\/p>\n

Guess what, I got accepted and I am going to the Higden Temple Training<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Around the world in 101 days<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Did you know that you can fly around the world for about \u20ac5000, 16 flights within a year, business class<\/strong>? Jaume, a friend from the Dynamite Circle, kept talking about this, so I asked him if I could use this to get to New Zealand. A return economy ticket easily costs around \u20ac3500 and then you arrive completely exhausted. “No problem,” he said. With his help I booked a RTW ticket, visiting friends and family in Canada, the USA and Hawaii, discovering new islands in the Pacific: Tonga, Samoa and Fiji, and spending a week in Japan after New Zealand. I will return to Europe early April.<\/p>\n

I actually wanted to spend a week in Puglia over Christmas, but an economy ticket cost the same as adding a business class trip to South Africa to my RTW ticket. You can guess what I decided… Check my crazy travel schedule for the coming months<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arriving rested, having new adventures, travelling in ultimate comfort. It is not complicated, you just need to know how these tickets work. One of the secrets is your starting point. I am starting in Oslo, which saves thousands of euros. Curious? I am forcing Jaume to write a book about this and teach a workshop.<\/p>\n

The magic of surrender<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>

Ever since my theatre show I have been in surrender mode. Actually, it had already started before, and the show was part of it. I am letting the universe decide which direction my life goes, and it is often very different than what I thought or wanted. But in the end it brings more beautiful and better experiences, exactly what I needed, without knowing it. And more and more often, it brings pure magic.<\/p>\n

Do not resist. Be curious.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have been talking about this all my life: surf the wave! But in reality I never really dared to get on that wave and always stayed at the shore. Now suddenly I feel that I am standing on that wave and it is exhilarating. I wrote a FB post about it: Surf the wave of surrender<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n<\/strong>Yes Man!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A feel good movie in which Jim Carrey plays a man who decides to say yes<\/em> to everything, which turns his entire life upside down. By that simple choice he opens the door to new experiences, opportunities and unexpected adventures.<\/p>\n

But blindly saying “yes” also brings problems. He gets caught in absurd situations and realizes that setting boundaries is just as important as being open to opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>
