Dear Nic

* * * * * * * *  * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

* You are one of the most intelligent *

people I know. That, in combination with *

your wit, humor, spot on, delivered straight–

forwardly in a blink of an eye, cutting the un–

essentials, is very refreshing but also intimi–

* * * * * * * dating. * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

To get straight to the point.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

And even though we are so different, we still want 

the same things in life. To shed light on what makes 

us feel alive. To shed light on what matters most in *

the world; to fully live, fully laugh, fully embrace life 

* with everything that it has to give us. But we also 

want to make this place a better place to be in. *

* We want to make an impact, an impact of * 

* * * * * * * our own. * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * *

* * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We also know how to serve those curveballs life 

throws at us merely by punching Satan in the face.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

When life gives us lemons, we make the most tasty *

drinks 🍸. When life gives us pain, we keep at it until 

* there is only some stain left. When life gives us sun–

shine, we make sure to shine bright like a diamond 

& to shine on other people while paving their way 

to the stairways to heaven. That is what makes 

* us unbreakable and forever intertwined *

* * * * * * * with each other. * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * *

* * * * *

* * *

* *

* * * *

* * * * * *

* * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * *

* Exactly one year ago, the *

last Thursday of May 2023 to be *

precise, you attended the very first 

* event of She Told Me A Story after me 

advising you to. Just as you advised me 

* for the very first one, in April a month *

* * * * * * * earlier. * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * My hope for you was to break those fences, *

* mending fences, making the most beautiful * *

pottery of all the broken windows that shattered 

over the course of life events. My hope for you was 

also to untangle all these invisible threads that are 

all woven delicately in our bodies, beings, souls, *

hearts and minds. My final hope was for you to *

* * let that little girl inside of you to show the * *

exterior world, the mortal world, transform *

* you into the most authentic version you 

* * possibly can master and muster. * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* As I watched you sitting there, where *

you attended your first event, with your arms 

crossed you said nothing while we were talking about

Motherhood. You only listened as I was silently cheering 

* for you to slowly but gradually open up. However, I could 

never have phantomed one of the most beautiful unfoldings 

in such a short amount of time. You poured your heart 

out and I could not have imagined how gracefully the

co-founders embraced your story. You politely asked us not to make any judgments. And I promise you this much, we didn’t. We embraced your words or statements and we have not shared exactly what you shared with us. And we never will because we intuitively knew the strength it must have taken you to say it out loud. They really carried 

* * your sharing worthwhile and with dignity. * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * *

* * * * * *

______

And then you crashed with your bicycle…

_____

* * * * *

* * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Fast backwards, you and I started *

to talk at one of the events of Level. We 

* both felt the need, urge and craved con– *

versations on a deeper level. I remember that 

I told you that I wanted to build an empire and 

you humbly replied all you wanted was to have 

a small (ish) business. Well, fast forward, I still 

want to build that empire but now I want ever–

one, anyone and everyone who is committed * 

* * * * * * * * to both * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

She Told Me A Story  & The House

to be in it.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I want this empire for all of us.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Well, my dear Nic, there is something that you need to know. *

And there is something that I need to speak out loud so that

everyone in the entire universe hears of it. Luv, you neither *

belong in the small arenas or in a smallish empire. You belong *

to the largest arenas hosting one TED-talk after another

👏 👏 👏

starting off with toastmasters. I can only applaud you

and admiringly cheer for you with this acknowledgement and

any necessary means to get there. And when you do give your *

* first TED-talk I will not only sit in the front row in the * * *

* audience cheering for you but I will embrace all the insights

* * * * * * * * that you will delicately share with us all. * * * * * * 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Your mind is your most powerful tool. Use it wisely.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I see you. I feel you.

* * * * * * * *

Your work doesn’t go unnoticed. And I have made a *

pact with your inner child for you to own it and claim 

it in this lifetime. It is an honor 🎖 and a privilege to 

stand by your side any witness this most beautiful *

* unfolding of you transforming into your full *

* * * * * * * * * potential. * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I am proud of you, I am impressed by *

* the way you have carried yourself ever since *

that bicycle accident that took place about a year 

ago. Even though it was not a pleasant encounter 

for you or your family I do believe that it made *

* your journey fast forward your journey. *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * 

* * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

And the best part of it all is that you will *

no longer need to grieve the life you never

chose to live because you decided to live and 

lead a life fully lived. Your life, your way, your 

style. I call it the à la Nic mode. Whereas you 

belong in the spotlight, I belong to the moon 

* light. I dance and swirl in the moonlight *

* * * *silently echoing throughout * * * *

* * * * * the whole galaxy. * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * 

* * * * * * * *

* This I know, when you combine your *

witty mind with your heart, you will transcend *

several lifetimes to come. That I am certain of. I know 

so because I feel you and I see what you are capable of.

I also do believe that you are on to a whole lot of wholeness 

on a whole other level than we intended it to be in the first

* * * * * * place. Who would have thought? * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* And now when we intentionally and purposefully leave the

darkness behind us and where we decide to let the sunlight *

shine through us, we radiate sun rays on those who still haven’t *

found their way navigating through the darkness. And of all

that shattered glass, we mend ourselves with making the most

beautiful mosaic & masterpieces there are to find. And I couldn’t

be happier knowingly to have you by my side ❤. 

I trust you *

with my heart and I know that you will protect my integrity 

* and make a silent roar whenever someone threatens my

personal space, place and when the day arrives and my 

* creative self is ready to introduce herself to the *

* * * * * * * * mortal world. * * * * * * * * *

Good luck and make sure to enjoy the 

ride surfing on the waves of your life journey.

Yours faithfully,
