Twice a year I go to Holland, driving my own car. To visit my children and grandchildren, to see the publisher, to give my car a good overhaul, to see my friends and to do some shopping. And often to give a presentation, this time on Orbs at Op Hodenpijl in Schipluiden.

And also to act as deliveryman, bringing wines and Blanquette de Limoux, home made sambal and goods from Joke’s shop Renaissance to Holland. And taking back all those special things from Holland, like my new books, DVD’s, peanut butter, lots of stuff from the Toko and more, much more.

On the way up and on the way down, I always try to visit new places, interesting places. Or places I want to see again.

This trip was special. In many ways. I took my time, three days, going up and three days going down. And saw how beautiful France is. And I stayed a bit longer in Holland and saw how beautiful Holland is. And I met some wonderful old and some wonderful new girlfriends. All very, very special. Join me on this trip and I will tell you, and show you, day by day, what happened. Enjoy dear friends, enjoy!

My book "Verschil moet er zijn" (Man and Woman sharing differences) is accepted by my publisher Aspekt for release  in the Fall of 2013. And is available as you read this.

I met Marie France in 1995 in Rennes-le-Château. She was the owner of the famous restaurant La Pomme Blue. A very gifted painteré and an excellent cook. Her dining room, there were not many tables, was covered with paintings of her. It was magic. Can you imagine?

To be in Rennes-le-Château, one of the most magical places in the world, on top of a hill with a magnificent view all around, in a lovely restaurant or outside on the cosy veranda, next to one of the oldest castles in France, the Chateau Hautpoul, with her beautiful paintings on the wall and eating the most delicious salads while drinking a glass of cold Rosé. What more do you want?

Marie-France Lebailly, famous for her paintings of beautiful women. Of angels, like herself. Of mysterious women. Women with that magic look in their face.

And that wonderful bearing. Her women are incredibly attractive. We can look for hours at her paintings and then, slowly, begin to understand something of the magic of women. They are like Goddesses.

A bit late, but then, much has happened during this month. The busiest month of the year. With music festivals, folk dancing, Vide Greniers, the Bio Market in Couiza, the Book Market in Rennes-le-Chateau, the people staying at la Source, the crystal skull seminars, the visitors to the Cave of Mary Magdalene, the beautiful skies, the incredible Orbs, and more, much more. But most of all things seemed to be happening to the people. Loosing old friends, finding new friends, transformations, pain,  frustrations, uncertainty, hard physical work, dark energies,  powerful experiences, altogether it was a very demanding and turbulent period. Let’s hope September will bring rest, peace, spiritual insights and love.
