I think the truck tour is one of my favorite parts of King’s day. Usually each driver plays chauffeur to a child – many of which have a disability. As they ride in the passenger seat, the trucks get in line and start their tour of the village. Honking their horns as they go. IContinue reading “King’s Day Flevotrucker’s Tour”

Beauty in your Own Home Town
Ok.. so I live in a village, not a town. But it really is amazing how many pretty and amazing shots you can make just by taking a walk. We didn’t even go that far from home. There was one new achievement unlocked in this walk. I learned how to snap shots through holes inContinue reading “Beauty in your Own Home Town”
Nature in Nunspeet
Now I’ve ‘borrowed’ a backpack – which I can already see is going to be too small, I went with Jessy in a train to Nunspeet. There’s such a wonderful forest full of little treasures to shoot through the eye of a camera lens.
The Test Shots
So I got a Canon 2000D and after a little research, I understand how to change apature, ISO and a couple other settings. I just need some models to practice with. Luckily we have a lot of fun little ornaments in the house. They didn’t mind volunteering their modelling skills.
All Of Me
Living with multiple illnesses, disabilities, and daily challenges has taught me a great deal—not just about myself, but about the people around me who don’t walk in my shoes. I’m not talking about my family or close friends, the ones who’ve watched me grow and adapt. I’m talking about society at large, and the professionalsContinue reading “All Of Me”
Carrying Light Into 2026
Standing and watching the last-ever street fireworks on New Year’s Eve—before the ban is implemented—made me reflect on all the changes 2025 brought with it. Lower blood sugar. A little more mobility. A hearing aid in my right ear to join the left one I was already wearing. I found new online friends. I dealtContinue reading “Carrying Light Into 2026”
Deafinitely Not What I Expected: The Blog My Brain Wrote While I Slept
Dear Readers, After a late night and little sleep, I became painfully aware that I had just two hours left to catch more z’s when the light started seeping through my curtains. That’s when it happened again. Instead of falling into deep sleep, my brain dragged me into another dream where it mixed a tinyContinue reading “Deafinitely Not What I Expected: The Blog My Brain Wrote While I Slept”
DI-RECT at De Kuip: A Night to Remember
It all started with a road trip. Destination: Dordrecht. Transportation: Mom’s car (thanks, Mom!). Jessy and I hit the road, fueled by excitement and a playlist full of bangers to power us through the two-hour journey—which felt more like three thanks to traffic jams that apparently wanted to join the party too. We arrived atContinue reading “DI-RECT at De Kuip: A Night to Remember “
My Ear-y Tale: Staycations, Second Chances, and Screaming at Microsoft
May: a magical month full of plot twists, personal growth, and one long-standing feud with the wind. This was the month I hit pause on life with a staycation and pressed rewind on a decision I made months ago — to stop wearing my hearing aid. Turns out, sometimes life gives you lemons and audiologyContinue reading “My Ear-y Tale: Staycations, Second Chances, and Screaming at Microsoft”
Cane, Cushions, and Chaos: A 60-Day Saga
Dear loyal readers, There seems to be an inexplicable force in the universe—possibly the same one responsible for tangled headphones and disappearing socks—that prevents me from writing monthly blogs as intended. But fear not! The last 60 days have been packed with excitement, progress, and a few laugh-worthy moments that I just know you’re dyingContinue reading “Cane, Cushions, and Chaos: A 60-Day Saga”
