Well, tomorrow’s the day. The day that started with a tweet might end up affecting hundreds of people in a big or small way. Or…nobody. Tomorrow is #HeelHollandHugt. I’m leaving very early in the morning with a big sign that says ‘FREE HUGS’. My friend Ayham is joining me. We will stand at the station and see if […]
I saw something this weekend that really made me stop and think. I usually never stop so that was a big deal, and I try to keep my thinking to a minimum. I stopped. I thought. This was a THING. It was this. I found a guy who put into words what I had been feeling. Lately […]
First off, I just want to thank you for the overwhelming response I got to last week’s newsletter. Wow. I think I got more reactions from that than from any newsletter I’ve ever written. Thank you all for reaching out. It means so much to me. It became clear that I’m not the only one who […]
When a stranger stops you (OK, me) and says “Hey, Buffi. I know who you are. How are you? Can I just give you a hug?” And you nod yes and you cling to him like a lifejacket, you know something’s up. And something IS up. Because so many things are down. I watched the […]
‘ve just returned from a fantastic weekend at the annual Eurosonic/Noorderslag weekend in Groningen. It was my 15th time and it gets better every year. It was wonderful to see my students, clients, colleagues and friends doing what they love and sharing their passion with me. (Oh, and dancing until 5 am was also fun […]
It happened again yesterday. And the day before that. I’m sure you’ve seen it. Maybe you’ve even done it, sweet Buffi? What, you may say? This. I received a lovely mail in English from a new client, and then….at the end….it says ‘I look forward to meet you!’ WOW. Honey, please don’t do this anymore. Let […]
The first time I really sat down and started thinking hard about New Year’s Resolutions was 40 years ago. I was 8. I was visiting my grandmother in Florida (or as we say it, ‘Flahrida’). I thought a lot about my life and what I was happy about (not much) and what I wanted to […]
I hope your week is off to a great start! Mine is full of good stuff – writing with Bart for the new Racoon album (which will take your breath away), speaking at a Linda. event, a photo shoot for a major magazine, recording some fun video lessons (you’ll find out about those in January) […]
Happy 5 December, darling! If you are celebrating Sinterklaas tonight or if you aren’t, I hope you have a lovely evening regardless. May people honor you with poems and gifts, tonight and every night. I’ve been working with some truly inspiring public speakers lately. These are people who are known for moving mountains with their […]
You can fool them with your mouth, but not with your hands. Say what?! Today I’d like to clear up 3 pairs of words that sound exactly the same, but are written differently. If you say them out loud, people will always assume that you’re using the right one (unless they think you are an […]
