Momentous Moments

Welcome to my ever changing, very messy (mid)life season of life, that’s filled with many mixed emotions. To survive, cope and – hopefully – thrive, I capture momentous moments of daily life in a wondrous world of words.

I write because I have to.

Because not writing is just not an option for me.

My name is Mies (short for Michèle) and I co-authored two ‘Wereldwijven’ books – an empowering collaboration between several Dutch women who live in different outskirts of the world.

A massive burn-out taught me that routine and a mindful writing practice is possible even when everything else feels impossible. Creating a world of words on paper gives me joy. For me, it is the much needed oxygen to weather the seasons of life.

I was one of those kids who secretly read in bed under the covers, a flashlight in hand to illuminate my way through the page-filling adventures.

My favorite writers were Nancy Drew, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl and when I grew older Agatha Christie, Gerald Durrell, The Bronte sisters and many… so many others!

For the purpose of inspiring your reading, I’ve added a book nook to stroll around in, may you find what suits your soul to read.

Happy Reading!

Note: my afiliate partner is bol. therefore I’d like to let you know that whenever you buy a book through my website, I get a small percentage of the sale and that helps fill my piggy bank to buy more books to read and share with you here in my momentous bookcase. I’d like to express my gratitude for supporting this enjoyable obsession of mine! Much obliged.
