{ perfect weather for hot cocoa }

2014 is nearly over and january 1 is fast approaching. this year seems to have gone by so fast! as one year ends and another begins i like to look back at the goals i set at the start of the year. most of the goals have been met, some of them almost. looking back it has been a great year both personal and professional.

{ new postcard added to collection }
last weekend we've had another 'building dinner'. time to relax, eat, drink and catch up. many of us are business owners. and because of this and the majority of the group working in the music- & entertainment industry we often [tend to] work on weekends. this makes it quite challenging to set a dinner date regularly, but makes it more special everytime we do get together. have a great weekend!

{ fresh flowers }

{ welcome to deventer }
after this weekend i'm starting on my fourth week of running. i'm training according a schedule to slowly improve my stamina. i'm really enjoying it and it's even turned out to be something i'm looking forward to. the goal at the moment is to be able to run thirty minutes non-stop. i know this isn't much but trust me, for me it's a great start. hope you have a great weekend!

{ early morning drive into the sun rise }

sometimes i'm surprised at how much a person can do in seven days. or twenty-four hours for that matter. you know the feeling of thinking your just being lazy?

{dropped of the in laws at the airport. they were flying to sao paulo, brazil}

{meeting at the wedding venue}
my fiancĂ© and i had a conversation about the difference between male and female. in particular about being practical. i think we women are quick to get emotionally involved in just about everything, while most men don't and thus can see things more clear. men just handle with things because they need to be handled. plain and simple.

{daily work situation}

because i'm working from home it's very easy to get lost in your work. i've had days where i would work eight hours non stop without taking a break. it's so important to make time for a break.
