A Mother’s Letter

Mar 27

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m not a mother. And neither am I a daughter. But I do have a mom and a sister. And I have witnessed their bond over time.

At times it was really really shaky. When my sister rebelled, my mom persisted. There are many reasons for it, but essentially it was my moms persistent divine love that created the space for my sister to feel safer than her immediate circumstances.

By God’s abundant grace and my moms unconditional love, she returned.

Moms, dont stop loving. Daughters, you are loved.

May you be inspired [to love and feel loved]

me.

3 Things That Inspires Me About: Arnoe de Vries

The idea of these “3 Things That Inspires Me About:” series is to honour my friends for the great role they have played in my life.

Here goes my first buddy: Arnoe. With an “e”.

3 Things that inspires me about Arnoe:

  1. Impulsive
    Arnoe is most probably one of the most impulsive people that ever walked this planet. He is one of those rare people who will suddenly decide to take 3 months leave and travel Asia. A characteristic that can have serious repercussions but also a characteristic that inspires me to live life. Really, live life!
  2. Friend
    Friends come and friends go, but a true friend is there to watch you grow. That kind of says it all. There are few friends that has been there to watch me grow. From my strong believes about relationships to changing my views about what it means to really live life, Arnoe witnessed it.
  3. Analytical
    He is one of the few ones who has the ability to analyze everything except the repercussions of his impulsive decisions, for everything else he really has the ability to think through virtually everything in a strategic step by step process. Most people love “5 Steps To _____ [fill the blank]” articles. Well, Arnoe has the ability to create a 3, 5, 10 step process of virtually everything.

Thanx DoeD!

I am inspired by you
