“What does being happy really feels like?” I wondered today. I’m sitting in my lounge seats overlooking my swimming pool on a day-off when the sun is boosting temperatures till over 30°. My cute boxer pup is laying next to me after having made me laugh with her playful moves. This should be a joyfulContinue reading “In search of completeness”

Find your Ikigai
A Japanese word explained by a Belgian guy who is looking for his Indian roots… Funny 🙂 I like to travel, I like to discover other countries and cultures. That’s how I found the book “Ikigai” – when I was wandering on the streets in Mumbai. It was during a warm late night in DecemberContinue reading “Find your Ikigai”
X-Files
I feel like as I’m investigating X-files, intrigued by but not knowing my past. Although my research slowly starts revealing my past, I do not know if and how long that euphoria would last.

Animation on Floor Jansen’s adoption story
While considering to create a blog on adoption experiences, I started participating in a couple of Facebook groups on adoption. One day, a nice animation video in De Verzwegen Generatie Facebook group caught my attention. I found it a very unique way to tell one’s adoption story. I contacted the author, Floor Jansen, to learnContinue reading “Animation on Floor Jansen’s adoption story”
How it all started
Note: this post is quite personal – I think it’s needed to provide further context on purpose and logic of upcoming postings. I don’t mind if you prefer to skip this post or parts of it. I would understand that. People that know me, might have been surprised when they saw my blog launch onContinue reading “How it all started”
