It’s the end of the year, the days are short and that always puts me in the mood for looking back and try to summarise the past year.
And while I was thinking about this last night in bed it struck me that one of the more important things that I have heard, if not always… »

I’ve added a nice archive page to the site. That should help finding things a bit more easy. It also amazes me how much I have written this year.
In more personal news, I had a good talk with my counsellor today about the whole situation concerning my biological mum and I am glad to say… »

Now that my updates are less frequent than a few months before, I want to draw your attention to the possibility to subscribe to my blog.
To the upper left you can find three options to do this: RSS, Email, or Twitter, whichever takes your fancy.

A lot of things have happened this week.
Most important probably is the news I got that there has been no reaction to the official letters my biological mother has received over the past three months.
In practice this means that the search is now over and there will be no more attempts from the agency to… »

I seem to have entered a stage in which  feel I have little to say.
I work, I practice, I do things I like and that is enough for now.
I feel that any explanations like the ones I had when I started this blog would be inadequate for some reason.
I have already told what my views… »

Whew , it’s been a long time since I’ve posted!
Let me start of by saying that all is well.
I’ve just been enormously busy.
I’ve taken over Lotus Design with one of my collegues while my “bosses” are in Nepal, I’m still following three courses during the evenings and trying to juggle them into some kind of… »

Had a good week.
Lots of work to be done, for sure, as my two “bosses” are going on a trip to Nepal in a few weeks and I have been asked to take over some tasks for them, but I was on track this week and so got lots of energy out of it all.
To… »

Busy busy busy week.
A good week, too.
High point of the week must have been my mum visiting last weekend. If I look back a year then I can say honestly that if that is the only good thing that came out of all of it, it’s enough.
I enjoyed showing her around Amsterdam, shopping, sitting in… »
