You can't cage a free soul and I am one. If you let me free, let me grow and explore, I can give you

About Me

My real name is Renée. Although I live in Roosendaal, I was born in Leiden, March 22, 1968. I moved to Roosendaal in 1995. I'm serious, I laugh a lot, I have humour, I'm straightforward, stable, shy (lost some of it luckily) and I'm positive. I talk a lot, but I can listen very well too and I can be quiet. I love the sea and woods. I love to dream and write poems, although I haven't wrote for some time now. But when it comes down to it, I'm very realistic. I'm working at home care since I was 20 years old and I don't want to do anything else!!! Love my work :) I'm a complete computer freak, a lot of my free time is spend behind that thing :)

Some other side of me:

I have three cats and like those cats I can be stubborn, opinionated and I like to be by myself from time to time. I have some nails too, but don't worry, I will only use them when it's needed. I can be your real angel with a little spark of being develish :)
Oh, and before I forget, I'm a bit of a nutcase!!! ;)

My Interests

People, life in general. Sometimes life sucks, but mostly I think life is beautiful. I believe that people have their own big part to make it beautiful. Working at home care gives me a boost and fills my heart with joy, laughter, sadness, hope and love.
Ton and our friend Corné :)

I'd like to meet:

Don Mancuso and Lou Gramm ofcourse!!! That will be my dream coming true :)

Music:

Jazz, Rock, Pop, Easy listening, Blues. Lou Gramm and Foreigner are my favorites!!! Don Mancuso is great too. And Fleetwood Mack, Stevie Nicks, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Journey, Anouk, Kane, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin. Oh well, too many to mention!!!

..

I can't go through a day without music. And even though I can't sing (I sing so false, you would faint), I sure need to sing out loud at times. I do that mostly when I'm alone at home :)

Mmmmmmmm...........Did I tell I LOVE Lou Gramm? And Don Mancuso? :)

Foreigner/Lou Gramm songs

Movies:

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, To Have And Have Not, The Birds, Seven and many more!!! I'm someone who loves the old movies from the 40's and 50's. Surely everything Humphrey Bogart. The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep and ofcourse Casablanca!!! Here is an Old Movie Star cube :)

Television:

Well, anything that will hold my interest. Can be movies, games, informative programs, animal programs, television series.



adopt your own virtual pet!

Books:

Anything that will bring me up in space and makes me forget the time. I love the books of Colin Forbes!!! Mary Stewart is great too. I love thrillers more than the romantic ones :) The books of Alistair Maclean. The Poldark books, Angelique books, North and South books.

Heroes:


31-5-2007. This is a tough one. There are actually heroes in my book, but I never came up with it, I guess because I have been living with two of those heroes for such a long time. And today it finally did hit me because of a conversation that I had with someone. Someone who has experienced what I have written down here now.
What about the MENTALLY/PHYSICALLY/SEXUALLY ABUSED CHILDREN!!! For they have never known love by their parents and are forever damaged, living with the scars. Forever fighting their past that comes up in every unexpected period in life. SURVIVING is all they have learned and will continue that for the rest of their lives. Fighting forever for love, fighting forever for intimacy and afraid to let them loved and giving love. Fighting forever for getting trust and for giving trust. For never feeling really free.
I have learned so much from them, have such a huge respect, feel so much love for them. Because what we do/feel automatically because our own parents learned/gave that to us, the abused children really have to fight for it and using their energy twice as what we use for energy. Once they have grown up, they still pay for what is done to them, FOR THEIR WHOLE LIVES, BECAUSE THEY NEVER KNEW A LOVING AND STABLE CHILDHOOD!!! They are heroes because they have to fight from nothing to getting and being someone loving!!! Hugs and kisses for those people.

By now you all know that I work at home care, taking care of people in their own houses. We have this client in care, a woman around 50 years old, who got a stroke some years ago. She can't talk and ...

Life

Life might not always give you what you want. But life isn't about wanting, it's about what life is offering you and what you can make of it. No, it isn't always easy, but who said that...

Stevie Nicks singing "Beauty and the Beast"

One of the best songs that Stevie wrote and sung in my opinion. I can listen to this song endlessly and still be amazed with how much emotion she sings. I will never get tired of this one. ...
