My experience with Yoga...
Encaustichris

Yoga. For many, the word is synonymous with relaxation. For others herbal teas (oh horror, jakkes and bah) drinking ladies. Yoga knows many exercises, often with exotic names. Once, a long time ago, I thought Yoga could be good for me. I was a stressed youngster, with a strong spastic bowel, and thought Yoga could help me relax better. So I went looking for a Yoga teacher, who was soon found, and ...

Thanks for all the encouragement for the Walking Iris button! I passed them all, and it worked, because today the button is a little higher! And I promised to give an extra encouragement. Earlier this week I found a happy stone, a smiley face, and I now put it in the pot with the plant. All positive energy: if no beautiful flower comes out of it! By the way, I think I'll do the update every few da...

The second photo of the walking Iris button. There's actually no change to be seen. And this will continue for a while, so I doubt whether this button is suitable for the challenge... But of course I took a picture, challenge is challenge 😉. Come on bud: grow, keep it fun for the Yoorsies! #marchmoves #marchmoves #walkingiris

At the invitation of @missmuhimu and @Albert van den Berg I participate in the March moves challenge. The idea is to take a picture every day of something that starts to bloom, the budding spring. Of course I participate in my stubborn, own way 😉 and chose my Walking Iris as the subject. The first buttons are signaled again. I take a picture of the same button every day. I hope he wants to grow...
Got a gift!

Anyone who has been following me for a long time knows that I have a “thing” with Anne Frank. Her diary was the first book I ever bought myself at the local bookstore. I got money from my Grandpa and Grandma, and I really wanted to buy that book, and I did.. The book is still in my bookcase, I have read it several times. Of course I also visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, several times...

Today we will go into the #yoorsworldtrip2021 to Paris! Although I haven't been to Paris before, I've been there. huh? What do you mean? Well, I was going to Paris on a city trip, in 2016. My gallbladder had other ideas about that, so that trip was postponed. But in 2012, I was in Paris for a while, sort of.... How then? I was in Las Vegas, where they recreated Paris, in a Casino! Above you'll see...

It's Sahara Sand Week. That is to say: I've been hunting for a beautiful sunset all week, one that colors nicely through the sahara sand. So I stood twice on the beach, photographing the sunset, and just that one day I had to work there was an insanely beautiful sunset! But I couldn't stand still anywhere to make a nice picture of it. Tonight I was back at work. And what do you think? Correct! Whi...

Last week I promised to keep you up to date on the progress of my puzzle.... Update: it's finished! The day after my blog, my friend with a pathetic face said: “You certainly want to make it alone..?” Well, I'm hard to resist that look, so I said no, you're welcome to join. And so it came to pass, how sweet we are: we have no time for TV, we spend hours puzzling. And what is he beautiful! The ...

Monkey, note, Mies, Wim, Sister, Jet.... my grandmother and my mother pounding the entire reading board on request. For them, that used to be the way they learned to read. Our neighbor, who died last year, was schoolteacher. Until her 90th (!!) year she tutored at school, and now that she has passed away, and her house must be empty there will be all kinds of things for the day. Yesterday we got a...

Every year it is deployed: the voice guide. Even though I already knew what I'd like to vote, I filled it out as a joke.. Seriously filled, though. The voice guide is made by Prodemos, the House for Democracy and the Rule of Law. I had never heard of it, I must confess, but I'm not very concerned with politics.. The voice guide will present you 30 statements, where you can choose “agree”, or ...
What is sailor?

1 week ago
Sailor, maybe you've heard of it once, maybe not. Is it different from ordinary fog? Yes, and no. The difference with ordinary fog is that sailor is created at sea: cold air pulls over the warm sea creates fog. Conversely, there is also: warm air pulls over a cold sea. Clouds then emerge, which linger low: fog! Sailor can be very annoying: when you are on a beautiful day on the beach, and the sail...

I just clicked on a post on Facebook, and immediately I was notified that I had activated fairshare on this post. How can this? This was not my intention😊. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a new setting? #daretoquestion

Reiki, a gift for yourself!
Encaustichris
1 week ago
For a couple of weeks I've been thinking about writing something about Reiki. Reiki is a (spiritual) life energy, Ki, that you pass through your hands. Years ago, I did a Reiki course, Reiki 1. During that course, your channels will be opened, and you will learn how to treat yourself and others with Reiki. I have experienced the course as very valuable, and since then I have been using Reiki regul...

Everything that gives you attention is growing...A true saying, so maybe I should not write this post at all, and yet I do it.I've been thinking about it for a long time, because I don't want this to be a negative post about Yoors, the platform where I found my spot in the last four years.Yoors: a platform with a beautiful approach: you create good content, and you will be rewarded for it!Unlike (...

And I found it! In the form of a new puzzle 🧩! When I finished the elephant puzzle I was so excited about the quality of the puzzle that I started looking for another one. Consequence.... There's a stack of puzzles here, but I was looking for another one. After two months of waiting, he was there again; the colourful butterfly. 1500 pieces, and I already know.... a real challenge. delightfully!...
Sunset on the beach

Yesterday, a beautiful sunset was predicted. There would be sahara sand in the sky, turning the sky red. So I went to the beach armed with camera, to photograph the beautiful sunset. No saharazand grain to be seen, and a wall of sailor, but just as deliciously walked! Will you walk with me again? #yoorsoriginalvideo #yoorsvideo #beach #ijmuiden

At the request of Henkjan, I made a set-up for a welcome post for new members. I think it's important to point out that Yoors is not primarily about making money, but about creating good content, and getting to know the platform. That money will come later. By placing the emphasis on the money you “motivate" in my humble opinion behavior that we do not want to see here. And while we're talking a...
Hang an owl?

We're in owl mode, my girlfriend and I. So when my father-in-law sent a message that in the middle of a village near Ransuilen had been spotted in a tree, we jumped into the car and went to take a look... And again we were not the only one! In a tree, just in private individuals in a garden we counted seven Ranks! Ranks are night-active owls, which means they hunt in the dark. They mainly eat mugs...

What a wonderful day it was! My day started with a good weighting moment, almost a kilo off in one week, you understand I was pretty happy with myself. And because the weather was nice, and of course I would like to see this result more often, I decided to take a walk before my work. We wanted to take another look at the owl, and our Mandarin duck friends. Mr or Mrs. Owl sat in the hole enjoying t...

We walk a little nowadays, and we get to places where nice things can be seen, like the Mandarin ducks from earlier this week. Yesterday we walked in a city park near IJmuiden, of which we have heard many times that a forest owl would live. Now we have looked for that before, but owls have the property of being able to hide perfectly, even though they are full of sight! When I was with the Mandari...
A real vintage KODAK camera!

2 weeks ago
Every now and then I get something in my hands that I think if this device could talk... So yesterday I received a visit from the son of our late neighbor, who came to bring an old camera. A Kodak, which was produced in the early 50s (1953-1957). It is a rectangular box with a viewfinder on top and on the side, and on the front the lens and an opening that presumably measures the light. According ...

The Mandarin duck: I had heard about it, and knew it was a beautiful animal, and that it does not occur naturally in the Netherlands. That turns out to be wrong, I have read that the animals sometimes breed in the Netherlands. Last weekend our local facebook group almost exploded: two Mandarin ducks have been spotted in our area! Well, sometimes I'm rather curious in nature, and so I figured out w...

Mandarijneenden komen van nature niet in Nederland voor. Toch zijn er twee neergestreken in mijn omgeving. Facebook ontplofte, en ook ik nam een kijkje. Hieronder twee filmpjes van de twee mannetjes. Bijbehorende blog vind je HIER! (Ik experimenteer met pay per post) #yoorsoriginalvideo
