The multitude of sayings and proverbs in existence telling you that good things come to those who wait, with time, this that pineapple has its merits, but in my experience, it is a little more needed than just time.

When I had to drop out of my old executive job by the end of last year, time was very badly needed, for it had been a rather rare commodity for the last decade. In fact, I have paid with the most part of my thirties to learn. Learn about myself, learn what I am capable of doing, where my limits are, to listen to my body and my heart - but first and foremost: what is not for me. Being an Executive and not able to work creatively anymore, for example.

Therefore, after almost being burnt out, it took me quite a while to heal, to get back to a place of creativity, to find out where I was going. And it took many people along the way, to guide me, to point into the right direction, to challenge and support ideas and concepts and plans. All of this took time.

All of the effort and energy and work that has been put into the pot together with the last half year's time comes together, condensed into today's plat du jour: from today on, I am my own enterprise, I'm open for business, and I am looking forward to all the stories we will share!
