all these emotions of mine keep holding me from giving my life to a Rainbow like you.. - Jimi -

About Me

Hey , I'm Yonne. I'd love to be able to tell you who I am, but that is a question I can’t answer yet. So that will just have to wait ;) What I can do is give you a glimpse of what my life is like. ~~~~~~~~~~ .I live in the northern region of the Netherlands on a small farm with my parents (Anne & Hans), brother (Jaap), grandfather, two cats (Alisa & Poekie), a goat (Vlekje) and a rooster called Mr. Bean. It’s a big messy, unfinished house, but its home. We have a big garden, very green, very ‘wild’ (Some people would call it untidy, to me it’s just untainted). ~~~~~~~~~~ .The town I live in is very small; we have a population of three hundred. We don’t have any stores, just a burnt down bar and a church. Let’s just say I’m very thankful there’s a bus stop (I should, I don’t have my drivers license). It’s no wonder I’m very dependent on my bike. The nearest stores and train station are about two mile away, so it’s not too bad. ~~~~~~~~~~ .My personality I think is best described as fickle. Not something I’m particularly proud of, but that’s the way I am right now. Anyway, it seems to keep people interested, they keep trying to fathom who I am. I guess most of us have an urge to obtain the unattainable sometimes. Anyway, most of my ‘interests’ I have already shared in the aforementioned section, so I wont elaborate on that. ~~~~~~~~~~ .The way I look.. I have long frizzy semi-curling blonde-red-brownish hair (depending on the light, which is quite obvious seeing as there is no colour without light). I have blue eyes and pale freckled skin, tanning only gets me sunburnt, so I’ve made my peace with being porcelain. I’m about 5’7, which in the Netherlands is about average for a female. I wear baggy pants and a long sleeve shirt most of the time, but my 'style' varies from day to day. I usually wear my glasses, without them I can only see as far as 2ft, beyond that it’s just blurry moving colours. I own contact lenses, I’m just too indolent to wear them every day though. ~~~~~~~~~~ .What I do.. I used to be a beautician, but decided to leave that behind. I wanted to make people happy and make them feel beautiful. I learned rather quickly this was not the way to go. It sounds corny but real beauty does come from the inside. I think people would be much happier if they were to spend their money on mental coaching and thing of the sort instead of exterior alterations. ~~~~~~~~~~ .Therefore I’m now taking a different approach. I’m studying ‘Emotional Bodywork’ which is a fantastic way to nibble on various types of alternative healing. I'm doing this to gain self-awareness and to free myself from my ‘restraints’, but after finishing this year I might choose to continue studying to become an alternative therapist myself. I’m experiencing (among other things) Body Work, Reiki, Shamanism, Rebirthing, Meditation, Gestalt, Bioenergetics and I’m also learning a lot about Hinduism and Buddhism. It’s hard work most of the time, but I gain so much and I am reminded how good it feels and how much it’s worth the effort after every weekend of training. I’ve had a few tastes of these things before, but I’m glad that this year I chose to really start chewing. So far I’ve already grown unimaginably far, it feels really good. ~~~~~~~~~~ .My job.. I actually quit my job recently and it feels great! No more handling complaints for the tax company for me. It feels great to have time to realize goals and dreams I’ve harbored for so long. I have time to dance again, and draw, and even having time to waist is nice. Anyway I’m exploring my career-options right now. Traveling is at the top of my list (preferably to a warmer climate). Other than that all options are open. All that is left is the hardest part.. figuring out what I actually want.. ~~~~~~~~~~ .Well that’s not all I have to say, but all I'm going to tell for now. Thank you for taking an interest. ~~~~~~~~~~ .Liefs, yonne. MyGen Profile Generator
