Tonight, I couldn’t stop thinking about the meaning of names and titles and the importance we put on ourselves and others.

From the moment we are born, our name is attached to us. Perhaps we’ll change it later in life by marriage or preference - but still, we have that name. It’s not who we are.

And yet, when it comes to our titles at work or as a profession, we somehow tend to put more value on this part of our lives.

Moksi Collective is Growing & Changing and my smile is getting bigger with each day!

There is an African saying that perfectly captures a big part of my mission:

"If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, Go Together."

And Together is the key word here indeed - Moksi Collective is Growing as a Community & Platform.

It’s been ten days since we moved into our new home and a good way of starting this new Series - Life in a rental home.

Finally a fresh new blog post! It’s unbelievable how long I’ve been silent here.

How do you know when it's the right time to say goodbye, to something you love? To a city you love. The place that feels like home...

Last week, it was four years since my daddy passed away. He was only 68.

When I was thinking how to start this blogpost, my mind wandered to a black and white photograph of me and daddy - sitting in a small cable car, on our way to rise high up in an amusement park. I have the photo, so my memory is still fresh of that day...

As a mama who is always behind the camera or snapping away with my trusty Iphone, I made myself a promise. This year will be the start of being more in the pictures with my girls...

Creating a home, away from home.

That was the tagline, my slogan, the red line I used when I started with a new blog project - The Moksi Homes. It was January 7, 2014. Things worked out completely different then I thought...

"Are you moving again?"

"How are the girls doing?"

"I don't know how you all are doing this... what about your children?"

"You are very adventurous..."

Questions. We get a lot of them, especially about how we do what we do - moving our family time after time. These questions about our lifestyle, or better said, the way we live our lives for the past fifteen years, are mostly stemmed from honest curiosity...

Three weeks ago, I was in my beloved Amsterdam. The city where I was raised, the city that always will have my heart. And yes, New York has won my heart as well - as have many more places in the world. But being back there made me realize again that, even after all these years of living abroad, Amsterdam is the one place where we all have family, roots, friends, and a house...
