Simply be yourself, as if, it was possible, at least bite into it!
Learning to trust the flow of life means letting go of the need to control every detail and staying connected to what truly matters: our values, purpose, our people and the bigger picture. Often, the unexpected becomes part of the journey.
As our children grow, parenting quietly changes too. This week I reflect on family, summer, finding a little space to breathe after years of raising children, and the joy of watching them become more independent as they discover their own paths. Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America. 🇺🇸🌿
Almost July already! This week was about firsts, laughter, and slowing down: my first live football match after 22 years of marriage, the incredible energy of the Dutch Orange Army, a much-needed break, and rediscovering the world through my artist’s eyes… plus one unexpected victory—a pair of pants! 🤣
A little throwback: last week, the World Cup kicked off, and my husband has been cheering on the Netherlands withContinue Reading

As May comes to a close, I reflect on two lessons that kept returning: don’t wait for perfection, and don’t be afraid to tell your story. Between being a mom of three, an artist, observing Shabbat, navigating family spread across continents, and building new projects, this month reminded me that progress, rest, courage, gratitude, and letting go all have their place.
A very unfiltered week 😅
Family, motherhood, exhaustion, admin overload, cooking for 14, missing Paris and my daughter, artist life, Glow!, New Mexico dreams, unexpected gifts from another artist… and somehow making the Top 15 of The People’s Artist competition 🤍
A little journal entry!
Sometimes life gives you beautiful milestones and emotional exhaustion at the exact same time.
This past season has been filled with difficult realizations, family transitions, moments of pride, moments of doubt, motherhood, fatigue, growth, letting go… and also deep gratitude.
A reflection on what happens when we keep showing up because we must, even while emotionally and physically depleted — and on learning that balance is not only needed after the storm, but before and during it too.
I used to feel like I had no control over my time or life.
Learning to say yes to others… and also to myself changed everything.
Summary
Complaining.
Comparing.
Feeling.
And ultimately — trusting.
Because in a single week, life can hold everything —
what breaks the heart, what limits us, what lifts us, what finally comes through.
Life holds a portrait —
sometimes visible to all,
sometimes only to oneself.
And somewhere between what is seen, what is felt, and what is understood,
we are simply learning… to trust that things unfold as they should —
and that it is also in our hands to choose to trust,
and to make it for the better.
so parislux !
