First Easter without you, but you’re always with me in my heart and the faith we share. A year of firsts is almost at an end and Good Friday isn’t necessarily a good friday…
Thankfully Good Friday is also the sacrifice on Calvary, that lets me know that we’ll meet again. I know that you’re watching over me from above and I cherish all the good times & memories as I walk on this path in life, that is yet to be revealed.
Love you, always ❤️
That moment when you realize that you have to make a change. A change for something else. A change that involves turning everything you thought you knew upside down. You have to change how you look at the world and how you perceive the world looking at you.
You have to change your attitude towards the inner child in yourself, because if you don’t your inner child will die. The change needs to start from deep within, at the very core of your being. You have to rediscover yourself, but without the prejudice you’ve brought along your entire life.
You have to find a reason to start loving yourself. The logic of your head, needs to find its way to the core of your heart. A change can only happen if you know that your feelings are misguided by your experience. The trauma in your life is not who you are, but who you are have been tarnished by the trauma you have lived through.
That moment when you realize that change can only happen if you face your fears…
The year 2020 will be remembered as the year when everything changed. Seemingly out of the blue, the world as we know it became a place of fear and global lockdown due to covid19. The current number of infected people worldwide has come to 3 455 888, with 245 373 lives lost. The impact on society has been massive and left thousands of people unemployed. Those still employed, have been stuck with home office instead of flying off to meetings across the country or around the world. Covid19 has certainly made the world smaller by way of zoom, teams and other digital platforms, and by doing so giving people the chance to connect for meetings from their own living room. As society slows down due to restrictions, our personal time increases even if we have to endure social distancing and quarantine. For me, this means that I’ve had the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends across the globe…
It is the power of the dream that brings us here…
I have other reasons to keep 2020 fresh in my memory, as it marks the 25th anniversary of my arrival at Walt Disney World. I became a Fellowship Ambassador alongside wonderful people from all over the world and made lifelong friends. The year I spent in Florida became important for me in so many ways. The freedom of being away from expectations and prejudice at home, gave me the opportunity to explore and learn more about myself. But more importantly, it taught me the meaning of family. As a gay man, I might not experience what is considered the traditional family for most people. Obviously, I come from somewhere and have both parents and siblings. But when or if I will experience being a parent myself, is something I know nothing about. Not for lack of wanting, more so because I haven’t been given the opportunity… But then again, what is family really? For me, family is about those people in my life that I choose to be my family. The friends that I have extraordinary experiences with, that I can confide in or that will always be there for me when needed. You don’t have to be blood related, to be considered someones family and you don’t have to live in the same household…
I’m supposed to meet my chosen family for a 25th reunion in London this summer, but who knows what the weeks ahead will bring. Still hoping there will be an opening, I have my reservations intact for as long as it seems a possibility. But whatever happens or however long it takes, I know my family will be there – we will continue to meet on zoom, be part of each others lives and give or get the support needed in the ups and downs of life.
Be true to your dream – you might find your family!
There’s a first for almost everything (if you’ve done it before, it’s not a first). This is a first for me!
I’m coming out….
I’m coming out as an owner of more than 1 mac, and the first for me is that I have chosen to post on this blog from a different device! It has been a very long process and I have given it serious thought before even making it past thinking about it… My hopes are that my MacBook Air will let it go and not think too much about the why’s etc. After all, my MacBook should know better than to stick it’s hard-drive where it doesn’t belong! But knowing my laptop, I’ll probably have to explain how everything is connected for a long time to come… That seems to be a problem with the MacBook Air 2014 model, that it feels superior to other Mac machines and obviously holds all the answers!
However, as the proud owner of several apple devices and certainly my own mind, I have decided that I should be the one to choose what I write on my blog and from which device I’ll do so! It remains to be seen, if I can continue my daily life without constantly having to remind my MacBook that it has no say in how I choose to post my blog!

And if you think this post is about something else, I’m sure I have no clue what you’re talking about!
