having reached stability ushering in others

When you have done the work of mastering the self during times of chaos, stability is automatically achieved.
Its only a matter of time.

Its much 2026 and as I turn 55, stability arrives quietly.
Like reaching the peak of the mountain and just being present in the moment.
And then taking on the next step with grace and calm.

Ushering in others and helping them reach their peak is what I now do..

From a place of quiet peace.

3 nights in Malaga

  Discovering Málaga Arriving in Málaga by bus on a calm Saturday afternoon, I take in the city’s gentle rhythm .  Unlike other cities, Málaga doesn’t press; it simply exists, welcoming without intrusion.  Andalusia, they say, has a softer touch than the north—and I feel it. Settling into café Iberia at the bus station, I enjoy a vegetarian tarte and a Heineken 0.  It makes me slightly tipsy, so I sip some water before paying €9.20 and heading to my bus.  Bus number 20 arrives almost immediately, and thirty minutes later, I check into my hostel—a clean, well-reviewed space that promises a comfortable stay. Eager to explore, I step back into the city, which was buzing with people, cafes and pizza places galore.

The café downstairs hums with the quiet buzz of laptops and conversation—young people working, coffee in hand, croissants on plates. How will I spend the nex...

My mother finally kicked my father out of her house

Handling truth - One More Story… My mother finally kicked my father out of her house. She was over 80. Unhappy for at least 40 years. And I — her daughter — gave her permission. I told her she had the right. I showed her it could be done by living my life.  That moment changed everything for both of us. Because in 2015, I had already done the same. I had kicked my husband out of my home in Arnhem. Three years of marriage, a lifetime of trying to fix someone who wasn’t mine to fix. I told him:  "Take your child to your parents. Grow a brain." And then I broke every wedding ceramic I had made with our families and friends the week of our wedding. That was my seal. That was the end. It was a nasty battle, first with a so-called mediator from Indonesia — her energy, still bound to systems of suppression, didn’t recognize mine. She tried to command me. That’s never worked. Then came court. I had to sit through a prosecutor speaking under the banner of  domestic violence awaren...

Sex, Sensuality, and Femininity at 50+

  Sex, Sensuality, and Femininity As I walk into this house in Busot— where my newly made female friend lives— I am introduced to  shameless nudity . She is hot in the summer heat of South Spain.  And so walks around half-naked most of the time. This is her freedom. To walk. To be seen. To exist as she chooses. Her boyfriend has grown used to it. But to me, it’s a foreign act— to take off the top, leave the underwear on, and live in fullness. Without shame. Without covers. Without masks. Own your 50+ body. What are we still ashamed of?
