We are living in a busy and noisy 24/7 world,. We often forget to take a moment to relax .
A tree pose gives me this moment to relax, enjoying the moment. Being grounded and aware.
Trees are strong but flexible. They are firmly rooted in the ground but yet reach out to the sky with their branches. Trees breath life-giving oxygen into the world and all the life forms them as they exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen.Insects and vines may destroy a tree, yet it keeps on giving, breaking down into nutrients to sustain other life forms. Because of this many beneficial qualities a tree may be viewed as a ulimate example of selflessness.
Coffee good or bad?
My everyday moment of happiness has to be in bed drinking coffee with my husband. Every morning he gets me a cappuccino with freshly whipped almondmilk. A time for us two to start a great day.
When we just arrived to live in NYC, we usually went to Starbucks to get a coffee. It felt like a kind of "holiday feeling", something we did not have in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, more and more branches started and Starbucks opened in the Netherlands. In search of the perfect coffee, we discovered the smaller cozy coffee shops in NYC. The baristas who carry out their profession with passion. There is still one Starbucks store that I definitely do not skip when I'm there, and that is Miami South Beach, the location is great, Ocean Drive overlooking the sea.

Vail is my new number 1!
Skiing is something I am really passionate about, but skiing in Vail added a whole new dimension to it. I've skied all my life, and thereby have been in many great places in the world to ski, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Canada, and United States (Aspen). However, last January I went to Vail, Colorado for the first time and, oh boy, that was really something special.
