Wait. What?!?\u00a0Shut the front door!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s September already?! What happened?<\/p>\n

The summer has come and gone so quickly \u2013 time sure flies when you\u2019re having fun! And boy, did I! I took a road trip with Lisa, my oldest friend in the world, and our families. We went through Austria, Hungary, Germany and the Czech Republic, which was a trip down memory lane for me. In 1990 someone heard me speaking English on a train in Prague and asked me to be the very first native English speaker to work at the very first privatized English language school in the Czech Republic, founded just after the revolution. How could I refuse? I got 80 cents an hour and trained professionals to communicate in English, something that was forbidden just a few months before. It was an honor and a privilege. I went back to my old institute, tucked away in the Bohemian forest. It\u2019s now a luxury hotel and it opened just 3 weeks before I arrived. The receptionist was so excited to speak English with me because she\u2019s studying to become an English teacher. Full circle moment. Misty eyes and death-grip hugs later, we travelled on. And on. And on\u2026..<\/p>\n

I read 11 books in 14 days. Some of them were real game-changers for me. If you don\u2019t know Malcolm Gladwell (I\u2019ve read all his work, and finished \u2018What The Dog Saw\u2019 on my trip), you should. He makes very complex ideas very clear and explains complicated theories in such an entertaining way, you\u2019re hooked from the first page. I also read my friend Galadrielle Allman\u2019s book \u201cPlease Be With Me\u201d, about her father, the famous musician Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers Band. It\u2019s her first book and such an amazing read. Grab it if you can. I also read \u201cSuccess Through Stillness\u201d by one of my heroes, Russell Simmons, together with \u201cCatching The Big Fish\u201d by another one, David Lynch. Through these books, I started meditating on July 28th<\/sup>\u00a0– 20 minutes, twice a day, which has had an incredible impact on my life. Who knew I could ever sit still for so long? And feel so blissful all day long, no matter what? Woooow. (All these books are available on Bol.com if you happen to live in the Netherlands.)<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m back in the saddle, so to speak. I worked hard with my client Diana Matroos (from BNR and RTL) for her role in hosting the 200th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the Kingdom of the Netherlands celebration, held last weekend in Maastricht. It\u2019s the first time my words were presented to the King and Queen of the Netherlands and Belgium and the German President! So proud of her!<\/p>\n

For something completely different, I\u2019m working on the new Mister and Mississippi album, as well as the new Handsome Poets album (your ears are in for such a treat later this year!)\u00a0 and back to teaching at the Rockacademie, the Design Academy Eindhoven, and Albeda College in Rotterdam. Last week I coached emerging artists from Norway, Germany, and Poland. So much fun helping them raise the bar on their lyrics and pronunciation!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m off to twist untwisted minds\u2026but until we meet again, here\u2019s a fantastic video for those of you who speak Dutch. I can\u2019t wrap my head around it\u2026.such crazy genius language shizzle.Check it out!<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you for letting me slip into your inbox today! Looking forward to seeing you next week again. And, as always, feel free to contact me via\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Le Twitteur<\/a><\/p>\n
