Rusty...

Curacao is truly paradise.

The thunderstorms and rainfalls are epic and gorgeous (and just a tad scary).
The sun on my skin feels like I'm being hugged all the time.
I can almost not picture myself being cold again, ever again.
The green trees and colourful houses make me miss my favorite season Fall a little less.
Walking out into the warm evening after a yoga class is just...
like walking into a lover's arms.
I never knew you could smell rain even when you are swimming in the ocean while it rains.
When you look up to the water surface from under water, while it rains...
Oh dear... the beauty...
Taking a salt bath in the ocean feels like a day at the spa...

I just hope the salty winds won't have the same effect on me
 as on this car by the side of the road...

This is your LIFE

In the Dutch store BRUNA in Curacao,
I found a box with discount magazines.
Hurray! Love that...

In Flair number 37 (a Dutch magazine), I found a really inspiring texst.
This, is how I want to live my life!

This is your LIFE.

Do what you love,

and do it often.

If you don't like something, change it.

If you don't like your job, quit.

If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV.

If you are looking for the love of your life, stop;

they will be waiting for you when you

start doing the things you love.

Stop over analyzing.

Life is simple.

All emotions are beautiful.

When you eat, appreciate

every last bite.

Open your mind, arms and heart to new things

and people, we are united in our differences.

Ask the next person you see what their passion is,

and share your inspiring dream with them.

Travel often;

getting lost will help you find yourself.

Some opportunities only come once, seize them.

Life is about the people you meet, and

the things you create with them.

So go out and start creating.

Life is short.

Live your dream and share your passion.

 

 

It lives in my journal now, and in my heart...



What is your passion?

Housewife

We couldn't be more healthy fed and clean...

I'm a real deal housewifemachine :)

 

 

My favorite way to meditate

here in Curacao,

is to

swim laps in the pool

after dark

with the stars to keep me company

the calming blue lights in the water

the lit up palmtrees watching over me

counting every lap and

only thinking about the next number to count

feeling the silky smooth water on my skin

hearing the ocean behind or in front of me

talking to me in the softest voice

feeling refreshed and as new

 

mmmmmmmmmmmm

Lovers beach

Saturday, we visited
one of the many beautiful beaches of the island:

''Lovers beach''

It was gorgeous and lovely.

We loved it a ,little bit too much...

It left broad red kisses on our white white bodies....

Bring on the aloe vera lotion!

 

 

Birdy

I LOVE the birdies here.

Yesterday, I saw a hummingbird (my favorite)

while eating lunch on our balcony.

 

Our doors are always open to have some airflow

and there is always one chirping on the background.

 

On my walks in to town or to the grocery store

they are always hopping from branch to branch.

 

If I was an animal...

what animal would I be?

I'd be a birdy

according to me :).

 

 

 

 

Yes! Yoga!

Gentle Yoga,

Hatha,

Vinyasa,

Ashtanga

and soon maybe even Tai Chi...

And what is that ''Buddha Bodi'' course?

 

I'm getting a taste of it all

in the cute little yoga studio

where I signed up for a month.

 

This afternoon I think I will go for...

Vinyasa!

 

My Ganesh keeps me company
when I practise on my yoga mat at home...
