Misschien voor een ander voelt het nog alsof we in een tussenfase leven. Een ruimte waarbij nog geen helderheid zichtbaar is, geen licht. Maar, waar rust voelbaar is. Geen druk van einddoelen halen of kado&#8217;s verzinnen. Maar simpelweg een fase waarin aan de oppervlakte nog weinig gebeurd.</p><h3>Rust is relatief</h3><p>De periode van rust vergelijk ik met de winter in de natuur. <br>Ondergronds staat niets stil, maar aan de oppervlakte is er weinig zichtbaar. <br>(Behalve de sneeuwklokjes die her en der op poppen.) <br>Ik geloof dat dit ook fysiek met ons gebeurd. <br>In deze rustfase groeien we op manieren die niet zichtbaar zijn. </p><p>Rust laat ons voelen waar we moe zijn. <br>Rust geeft een signaal dat deze periode nodig is voor herstel.<br>Rust is de essentie om weer te kunnen presteren in een periode waarin fysiek meer van ons gevraagd wordt.</p><h3>Presteren in deze fase is on-natuurlijk</h3><p>Zichtbare resultaten behalen is in deze fase niet het doel. </p><p>Resultaten zijn het gevolg van deze rustfase. Deze fase is namelijk een fase van voorbereiding. Een fase van evalueren, bijstellen, je ontwikkeling onder de loep nemen, of een gebrek hieraan. </p><div><hr></div><p>De volgende vragen helpen je om 2026 te verdiepen:</p><ul><li><p>Waar mag 2026 voor jou over gaan?  </p></li><li><p>Welke nieuwe idee&#235;n wil je in 2026 vormgeven?</p></li><li><p>Wat en wie wil je in 2026 -meer- aandacht geven?</p></li><li><p>Wat, of wie, wil je in 2026 loslaten? </p></li><li><p>En wat kun je vandaag nog doen om nog meer authentiek te verschijnen?</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><p>Als we stilstaan, en deze prachtige fase bewust benutten, in ze heel voedend voor onze groei. In deze fase ligt de fundering van het succes in 2026. (En aan jou hoe succes er werkelijk uit ziet).</p><h3>2026 - Het jaar van <strong>Creatie</strong></h3><p>Persoonlijk wordt 2026 het jaar van creatie. Als ik alle synchroniciteit van afgelopen maanden overzie, -ik ben heel blij dat ik iedere ochtend een moment van reflectie heb door middel van <em><strong>&#8216;intu&#239;tief schrijven&#8217;</strong></em>. Teruglezend begrijp ik nog beter waarom ik bepaalde keuzes gemaakt heb-, is het overduidelijk dat ik nog meer mag cre&#235;ren.</p><p>En hoe ziet dat er dan voor mij uit?</p><ul><li><p><strong>Keramiek</strong>: Maandagmiddag heb ik me ingeschreven voor een cursus keramiek. Handvormen maken vanuit inspiratie. Ohhhh iedere dag kijk ik er naar uit om maandag naar Alkmaar te rijden. </p></li><li><p><strong>Lederambacht</strong>: voor diegene die het niet weten, ik maak lederen tassen, paspoort - hoesjes, laptop - mappen. Echt ik vind het heerlijk. 1. Vormen bedenken, Pinterest is hierin natuurlijk mijn beste maatje, 2. leder uitzoeken, 3. uitmeten van patronen en dan 4. ponsen en 5. naaien met de hand. Het brengt me tot rust, snel kan niet, maar het resultaat is een levenslang product wat met het jaar mooier wordt. </p></li><li><p><strong>Schrijven</strong>: m&#8217;n 3e publicatie zit eraan te komen. Het is een verdieping op <br>&#8216;De kracht van Pijn&#8217; - 2021 en &#8216;Je lichaam is Puur Natuur&#8217; - 2024. <br><em>Ik schrijf over pijn en groei, over liefde en verbinding, over stilte, vertrouwen en het vinden van je eigen weg ondanks alle omstandigheden.</em></p><p><em>Ik schrijf over de lagen onder ons gedrag, waar kwetsbaarheid en kracht elkaar ontmoeten. Waar we leren dat pijn niet onze vijand is, maar een uitnodiging om te voelen, te begrijpen en te luisteren door ruimte te maken, met de intentie om je lichaam te verstaan. <br></em>Ik weet nog niet wanneer de publicatie verschijnt, maar ik hou je op de hoogte. </p></li><li><p><strong>Prachtige klanten</strong>: m&#8217;n &#8216;leraar - natuur&#8217; verlies ik niet in het creatie-proces. Luisteren en spiegelen is waar mijn aandacht naar uitgaat als ik individueel met mensen werk. Een totaal andere manier van creeren, maar ik ervaar het als <em><strong>creatie on the spot</strong></em>. Of ik het via een Reading, live of voor een onderneming uitvoer maakt niet uit. Ik cre&#235;er vanuit de inspiratie die ik voel, zie, ervaar door al m&#8217;n zintuigen open te zetten. En als ik voor iemand iets kan betekenen kan ik alleen maar dankbaar zijn.</p><p></p></li></ul><h3>Cre&#235;ren is vormgeven aan vormloosheid</h3><p>Jij bent ook een creator. Wij allemaal zijn een creatie op zich. Human Design, astrologie, wetenschap. We begrijpen nog helemaal niet hoe ons lichaam precies werkt, maar dat maakt het mooi. Dat maakt dat we allemaal uitgenodigd worden nieuwsgierig te zijn. <br>Dus als ik &#233;&#233;n ding mag adviseren; blijf altijd je inspiratie volgen. Dat is creatie in de dop. Inspiratie is jouw rode draad in het leven. Niet groter of meer dan dit. Het is de essentie van wie jij bent.</p><p><em><strong>&#8216;Show It, Show You&#8217;</strong></em> staat niet voor niets prominent op mijn website ivankavanvliet.nl . </p><p>Lekker authentiek verschijnen, het maakt ons allemaal mooier, omdat we steeds dichterbij onze eigen natuur komen en daar vanuit keuzes maken. </p><p></p><p><em>Lieve jij,<br>geniet van de stappen die je zet<br>maar ga niet overhaasten<br>ga niet sneller dan je aankunt<br>en accepteer dat jij niet alles bent<br>jij bent jij<br>en als jij die essentie kunt laten zien<br>straal je als geen ander kan stralen<br>en precies dat is de essentie van het leven</em></p><p>Liefs Ivanka</p><div><hr></div><h4>&#127807; Producten &amp; Diensten - <em>let&#8217;s life your nature</em></h4><p><a

I&#8217;m stepping away from what is known and entering a field of creation where nothing is fixed or known, except my intuition.</p><p><em><strong>And that&#8217;s exactly where fear shows up.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>I feel fear around money.</strong></em><br>Around my contribution to our household.<br>Around the practical side of life that continues no matter how spiritually or emotionally I grow. I can trust what I want, but trust doesn&#8217;t pay bills. I can meditate hours, but attracting money isn&#8217;t gonna work in a passive way.</p><p><em><strong>There&#8217;s also fear around my children.</strong></em><br>I want to support them in every possible way. To help them &#8220;succeed,&#8221; feel seen, and experience as little pain as possible in a school system that values performance far more than personal development.</p><p><em><strong>And deeply underneath, there is fear about myself.</strong></em><br>Fear of letting go of an identity that felt safe, and walking into a world where I allow myself to be fully visible. Visible with my feelings, my intuition, my doubts, my wisdom, and my transformation.</p><p>My fear creates contraction.<br>I hold back, I grip, I minimize.<br>I notice I cling to money more tightly, and big expenses make me tense.<br>It doesn&#8217;t feel like me and it&#8217;s not who I want to be.</p><p>Yet, I <em>know</em> this step is right.<br>My intuition is clear, and my body confirms that this is the path that wants to be lived.</p><p>But holding trust while entering a new world&#8230;<br>That is sometimes challenging.</p><p></p><h3><strong>The quote that changed my perspective</strong></h3><p>On a beautiful mondaymorning, the day after my daughter turned 15 years old, a sentence entered my mind so strongly it felt like it was spoken directly to me:</p><blockquote><p><strong>Fear is a way of accepting you are not in charge.</strong></p></blockquote><p>And it hit me deeply.</p><p>Because I felt, immediately:<br>it&#8217;s not the world that creates fear,<br>it&#8217;s the moment I stop taking responsibility.<br>The moment I rely on circumstances instead of myself.<br>The moment I hand over my inner leadership.</p><p>The truth is:<br>I am responsible for my choices, my direction, and my outcomes.<br>No one else.</p><p>Which means I have something to do and not fight the fear,<br>but <em><strong>take charge again</strong></em>.</p><div><hr></div><h2><strong>The body &amp; fear: knowledge &amp; wisdom</strong></h2><p>When we experience fear, we often think it means something is wrong with us. <br>But fear is fundamentally <strong>biological</strong>, <strong>psychological</strong>, and <strong>energetic</strong>.</p><p>There is a lot of science around the topic of fear. I personally feel very drawn to these authors, because they explain <em>why </em>your body responds the way it does, without focusing on fixing or medicating the body so it simply &#8220;functions well&#8221; again.</p><p>(The names are linked, so if you&#8217;re curious, just click on them and you&#8217;ll find much more about these brilliant minds.)</p><h3><strong>1. The body</strong></h3><p><em><strong><a href="https://drgabormate.com">Gabor Mat&#233;</a></strong></em>, a renowned Canadian physician and author who is a leading expert on trauma and its lifelong effects, particularly on addiction, stress, and childhood development, describes fear as the result of losing connection with ourselves<br>when we stop listening to what we truly need.<br>The body then searches for safety, and it usually finds it in control. (I recognize this in detail, just like cleaning the house or checking my son&#8217;s homework assignments &#9786;&#65039;)</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://drjoedispenza.com">Joe Dispenza</a></strong></em> explains that fear is often a repetition of past thoughts,<br>a chemical pattern the body recognizes:<br><em>&#8220;This feels unfamiliar. Unfamiliar is unsafe. Hold on.&#8221;<br></em>Your body has become <em>more trained in the past than in the future you desire</em>.</p><p>He says transformation starts with awareness:</p><ul><li><p><em>Notice the thought.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Pause before it pulls you into emotion.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Become the witness instead of the reactor.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>This moment of awareness is &#8220;<strong>the space where change begins</strong>.&#8221;<br></em>(That&#8217;s nice to know, now I am sharing about my fears, I create the space where change begins &#128522;)</p><h3><strong>2. The energetic layer</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Fear</strong> contracts.<br>It pulls inward.<br>It closes.<br>It grips.</em></p><p><em><strong>Creation</strong> expands.<br>It opens.<br>It moves.<br>It trusts.</em></p><p><em><strong>In transformation, we experience both:<br>the contraction of the old, and the expansion of the new.</strong></em></p><p>And that&#8217;s exactly where my process lives, and I can imagine that you yourself also recognize some things.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

brought clarity.<br>You can use them too.</p><h4><strong>1. Why did I make this choice?</strong></h4><p>Because my body knew long before my mind:<br><em>I&#8217;m here to write, to share, to connect, to feel, to grow.<br>Not because it&#8217;s easy, but because it&#8217;s aligned.</em></p><h4><strong>2. Can I internally decide that this </strong><em><strong>is</strong></em><strong> my path?</strong></h4><p>Not halfway.<br>Not hesitating.<br>But fully supporting myself:<br><em>This is my way with every lesson that comes with it.</em><br>That decision alone calms my nervous system.</p><h4><strong>3. Am I willing to grow in a world I don&#8217;t yet know?</strong></h4><p><em>New worlds require new identities.</em><br>It often feels like losing something at first, but I also feel and believe my new identity is an identity I recognize because it&#8217;s one I&#8217;ve always been deep inside.</p><h3><strong>My reminder</strong></h3><blockquote><p><strong>Seeing the larger picture is what carries me through the moments of doubt.</strong></p></blockquote><p><em><strong>My future is stronger than my fear.<br>My creative field is greater than my contraction.<br>My body is learning to trust, one day at a time.</strong></em></p><p>And maybe yours is too.</p><p>And reading Joe Dispenza his work helpt me remember something important:<br><strong>You must </strong><em><strong>feel</strong></em><strong> a new future, not just think about it</strong></p><p>This is one of his biggest teachings:</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;The body doesn&#8217;t know the difference between a real emotion and an imagined one.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>If you repeatedly feel elevated emotions like<br><strong>gratitude, trust, expansion, possibility, love</strong>,<br>the body starts believing that the future you imagine is <em>already happening</em>.</p><p>And the brain begins wiring new connections to match that future.</p><p>This is what he calls <strong>creating from the field</strong>, instead of from the known past.</p><div><hr></div><p>Do you personally want to get more insights?<br>Download your free guide and explore yourself a bit deeper.</p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://bodysounds.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/PDF-Guide-Fear.pdf&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Download Your Free Guide&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://bodysounds.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/PDF-Guide-Fear.pdf"><span>Download Your Free Guide</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>A Deeper Journey Into Inner Leadership</h3><p>If you feel called to go deeper after reading the blog and exploring the free guide, I created a <strong>masterclass</strong> that takes this work to the next level.

My thoughts are like the highway on a busy Monday. They demand my focus, various themes racing against each other. Some big, some small, but they all race through my mind at 5 a.m.</p><p>When I breathe more deeply, I manage to feel my body instead of racing down the highway. My shoulders don&#8217;t directly touch my ears, but I actively bring them back to &#8220;normal&#8221;. My neck, throat, and tongue shift from tense to relaxed. I feel much heavier, as if I&#8217;m disappearing into a giant waterbed. Yes, I feel my comfort again. I&#8217;m okay, I&#8217;m not my tension, I&#8217;m relaxed, I&#8217;m trust. I&#8217;m grateful.</p><p></p><h3>The phase in which you outgrow your environment</h3><p>I know what&#8217;s going on in my life. I&#8217;m starting to let go of my normal habits, my work, and my perspective on money. And all of that gives me a sense of loss. This feeling is also a life lesson:</p><blockquote><p><em>Let go of a familiar state; <br>knowing &#8220;what is&#8221; provides a sense of security. <br>Surrender to your desires with a humble attitude and an inquisitive motivation.</em></p></blockquote><p>There&#8217;s a fine line between trust and fear. Of course, I don&#8217;t know what awaits me, and that often frightens me. But in my center, my heart, there&#8217;s a gentle voice, almost a whisper, that inspires trust with a deep sense of surrender: this is your path.</p><p></p><h3>Don&#8217;t take it too seriously</h3><p>When I <strong>think</strong> about it, my shoulders reach my ears again. But when I meditate, I feel this confidence in my bones. It&#8217;s an all-encompassing sense of worth and positive excitement for this new chapter in my life.</p><p>Gratefully, I&#8217;m one of those who are confident enough that visible results don&#8217;t have to come before taking action. I&#8217;m a big believer that results come from taking action based on your gut feeling. But right now, in the midst of this phase of ignorance and discovery, there are &#8220;highway mornings&#8221; and confidence issues when I take myself too seriously.</p><blockquote><p><em>Trust is a gentle smile in moments when you observe yourself. <br>Without knowing exactly, without seeing results. <br>Trust is a loving wing around your shoulders that supports you when doubts arise. <br>Trust knows that this is your path, because Trust is the loving partner of Now, <br>the only truth in the universe.</em></p></blockquote><p></p><h3>Hold On </h3><p>So I must hold on to my faith, <br>my belief, my experiences so far. <br>All of this will help guide me in this moment.</p><p>Humble, gentle, and my companion is Trust. Always.</p><div><hr></div><p>A vulnerable letter from me to you, Substack reader. <br>Perhaps you recognize some of this, and I hope you hold on to your faith as well. <br>And my journey? I&#8217;ll keep you updated!</p><p>With love</p><p>Ivanka</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Het is een plek waar het cosy voelt, zacht en krachtig, aangenaam en gedreven.</p><p>Over die &#8216;zone&#8217; gaat dit verhaal wat ik met je wil delen, <br>omdat ik je wil inspireren jouw gevoel serieus te nemen. Je idee&#235;n tot leven te brengen, niet omdat het moet slagen, maar omdat het prachtig is om te doen en het gevoel wat je aan de actie overhoudt, is heerlijk.  </p><div><hr></div><div class="pullquote"><p>Wanneer je gevoel serieus neemt<br>en je de fantasiebeelden werkelijk najaagt<br>neemt het leven onverwachtse afslagen, waarin de mooiste ervaringen<br>je een rijker mens maken</p></div><div><hr></div><h2>De rol van &#8216;spontane&#8217;</h2><h4>(Ik speel verschillende rollen in het leven. Dit is daar &#233;&#233;n van.) </h4><p>.</p><p>Op die Artist - Date<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> bij Aloha Wijk aan Zee ontstond h&#233;t idee. <br>Het idee om een &#8216;Future Vision 2026&#8217; live te geven aan &#8216;spontaan - ge&#239;nteresseerden&#8217;.<br>Spontaan, omdat ik geen laptop bij me had en dus de website iet aan kon passen. (Yep, ik heb een neiging tot perfectionisme als ik iets de wereld wil laten zien&#8230;)<br>Ik voelde dat ik gewoon mensen wilde vragen of ze zin en tijd hadden om zondagochtend om 9:00 in Castricum live bij elkaar te komen.  </p><p>En dat wilde ze. <br>Wel vroeg, maar met een grote lach zaten we daar heerlijk met z&#8217;n 3en. <br>De ovale tafel cosy opgemaakt, (yep, ook hier hou ik van aankleding) de geur van koffie met een heerlijk gevuld stukje speculaas, de kaarsjes brandend en de orakelkaarten<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a> bij de hand. Een ruimte waar het gevoel van thuis je omarmt. </p><p>.</p><h2>Helderheid voor 2026</h2><p>Het doel van de ochtend  was heldere doelen &amp; inzichten voor 2026.</p><p>Wat ik persoonlijk geleerd heb als ondernemer is dat de dag voorbij schiet en als je niet oplet doe je over een jaar nog steeds wat je nu aan het doen bent. <br>En mijn persoonlijkheid past daar NIET bij.<br>Ik ben een type die houd van ontdekken, van nieuwe dingen proberen en als ik het begrijp en om mijn manier ge&#239;ntegreerd heb, kan ik de informatie doorgeven. Via content, via schrijven, tijdens de sessies.  </p><p>Dit is d&#233; rede dat ik van gymleraar, naar fysiotherapeut naar schrijfster, naar teacher, naar Artist (?) ga. Ontwikkelen door nieuwe &#8216;werelden&#8217; te ontdekken, is voor mij een natuurlijke stijl. <em><strong>Tip van Flip</strong></em>: vind je stijl en handel ernaar ! Ga niet iets doen terwijl je het niet voelt. Het kost alleen maar energie, en dat is &#233;cht niet de bedoeling.</p><p>Maar terug naar helderheid voor 2026.<br>A3 vel voor de neus, potloot lineaal en pen bij de hand, tekenen is wat we gaan doen.</p><p><em><strong>Waarom tekenen?</strong></em></p><p>;) ik hoorde je denken. Tekenen is een deel van jou aanzetten wat niet dagelijks aangesproken wordt. Bij sommige gaat het gepaard met kleuren, beelden en vormen, bij andere met woorden. Maar &#8216;potloot en papier&#8217; geeft &#233;cht een extra dimensie als je nieuwe inzichten, helderheid of verdieping wilt.</p><h3>En dan ontstaat er magie</h3><p>.</p><p>De mooiste fase in de verdieping die je met jezelf aangaat is &#8216;de kwartjes die vallen&#8217;. In dit geval ook door verhalen te delen.

an old but lovely man, trying to move through traffic with his walking stick. The quickness of the young ones, <br>the speed of electric cargo bikes, <br>the masses of people who don&#8217;t even see this beautiful, experienced being.</p><p>When I &#8216;tap into this man,&#8217; I read his body language, <br>his slow movements, and his eyes. <br>His eyes tell a story of their own. I believe he served, his age betrays that, <br>and I don&#8217;t believe that was his best moment in life.</p><p>Thinking about that, about his service, humbles me. <br>I thank him in a silent way for being who he is, <br>and for what he brings to this world in his own unique way.</p><p></p><h3>On that bench I am humble</h3><p></p><p>Screening lovely people and tapping into their lives<br>gives me the feeling of watching shields.</p><p>Everyone, including me, carries emotions.<br>Some people laugh loud, some concentrate in traffic,<br>but all of them are hiding behind a shield.</p><p>Maybe we pull it up when we rise in the morning to start the day.<br>Maybe we had a conversation that was hurtful and we needed protection.<br>Maybe we had the most beautiful night, one that lights up the whole day&#8230;</p><p>There is a story behind everyone,<br>and maybe you recognize one of your own<br>in the behavior of another.</p><p>In love we find answers,<br>in love with ourselves,<br>and with every human being we may observe.</p><p></p><p>May your day be beautiful,</p><p>With love &#129782;<br>Ivanka</p><div><hr></div><p>&#127807; Through writing, I try to express my creativity and worldview, <br>knowing that I&#8217;m fortunate to live in the Netherlands.</p><p>I hope to inspire you.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why? in het

van jullie kennen deze vanuit een live versie,<br>so you know &#128522;</p><p>Ik mag zaterdag 4 oktober, mooie uitgekozen datum, <br>met mijn nichtjes op vakantie.<br>Deze keer vertrekt de boot naar Schotland. </p><p>Afgelopen zomer mocht ik ook al naar het zuiden van Engeland,<br>inclusief Londen, en wat een reis hebben we daar gemaakt.</p><h4>Een reis om niet te vergeten</h4><p>Er wordt wel gezegd dat &#8216;wanneer je het voelt, vergeet je het niet meer&#8217;.<br>(Dus voor de moeders onder ons, een bevalling valt toch niet uit te leggen&#8230;)<br>Als je het eenmaal hebt gevoeld, zit het onder je huid. <br>Letterlijk. Zo kwam Engeland, de Engelse taal, de cultuur, onder mijn huid te zitten.</p><p>In de reis merkte ik dat mijn inspiratie, zoals wel vaker, <br>beter in het Engels zich lied vertalen dan in het Nederlands. <br>And that was just the start.</p><p></p><h4>&#8220;Go big or go home&#8220;</h4><p>Bij aanvang van m&#8217;n nieuwe reis, speelde dit onbewust, maar naarmate de tijd verstreek, begon mijn inspiratie steeds meer vorm te krijgen, in het Engels.</p><p><em>Ik maakte een bundel verhaaltjes in het Engels, <br>het vloeide lekkerder uit de pen,<br>het kwam makkelijker tot zijn recht,<br>het werd (wordt) gewoon een Engels geschreven verhalenbundel&#8230;</em></p><p></p><h3>Hoe dan ?!&#8230;</h3><p>Ja, inderdaad, soms weet ik zelf ook niet waarom dingen lopen zoals ze lopen.<br>Maar gaandeweg mijn levensreis, durf ik er steeds meer op te vertrouwen dat &#8216;het&#8217; klopt. (Zonder dat ik vooraf weet waarom het klopt, alleen achteraf vallen de zogenaamde puzzelstukjes in elkaar.)</p><p>Zo ook mijn Engelse bundel.</p><p>En daarmee ook alle verhalen die nu in mijn hoofd zich afspelen, <br>Engels is de voertaal. (En nee, ik heb geen geschiedenis met Engels, <br>en mijn Engelse leraar Mr. Morcus heeft ook niet bijgedragen aan mijn enthousiasme voor de Engelse taal.</p><p>En toch is het Engels,<br>zo ook verschillende mails die ik verstuur (als je op het Subscribe-Lijstje staat dan) &#128071;&#127995;</p><p></p><h4><em>Ik wil ook dat m&#8217;n moeder het kan lezen</em></h4><p>Schrijven is een proces. Verwerken is een proces. En Ivanka - stijl, is een proces. <br>Ja, soms zit ik mezelf ook in de weg, maar &#8216;het hoort erbij&#8217;. (Go big or Go Home)</p><p>Maar ineens dacht ik aan m&#8217;n fans. <br>Diegene die altijd aan de zijlijn staan te juichen bij alles wat ik doe.<br>Ik mag me gelukkig prijzen dat mijn moeder daar een van is, <br>alleen heeft zij de Engelse taal nooit zo kunnen omarmen als ik dit doe.</p><p>Dus,<br>er moest ook een Nederlandse versie komen. </p><p></p><h4>Ik ruik de finish</h4><p>maar ik zie haar nog niet&#8230;. </p><p>Ik ben nu bezig om alle teksten van Engels naar Nederlands te vertalen,<br>de details in opmaak te cre&#235;ren en ik mag bedenken hoe ik het uit ga geven en presenteren.</p><p><em>Maar dit is waarom ik met enige regelmaat ook in het Engels schrijf.<br>Vanuit m&#8217;n hart, volledig ge&#239;nspireerd door alles en iedereen om me heen,<br>en vormgegeven door m&#8217;n handen.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ik vind het heerlijk gezelschap te hebben tijdens mijn reis.<br>En als je het leuk vindt, praat met me, vind ik ook gezellig ;)</strong></p><p></p><p>Geniet van jouw weekend,<br>ik beloof je van de Schotse Hooglanden te gaan genieten &#127807;<br> </p><div><hr></div><p>&#128154; Volg me op <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ivanka_ambassadeur_lichaam/">Instagram </a> <br>en wie weet zie je nog een Schots wondertje voorbij huppelen.</p><p>&#128154; Tof als je met me mee wilt reizen in deze fase,<br>dank je wel dat je hier tijd voor neemt &#128154;</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[A big ego is looking for Love]]></title><description><![CDATA[Let's live your own
