CURRENT MISSION

The only way to cultivate an 'open mind' is to be open to people and experiences. So you have to be somewhat naïve, I think. I am (if you don't mess with me)!

ABOUT ME

I live with my daughter (°2007) in Antwerp. In my house I also host 4 students.
I am a teacher in high-school.

PHILOSOPHY

In my home, we are real. We make mistakes, but we say sorry. We give second chances. We have lots of fun. We give hugs. We forgive. We are patient. We love each other.
