THE CURIOSITY RESET

An invitation for you to become a FlâneuZe as I am.
NEUZE in Dutch, means being a little nosy, curious , finding out …

In a world where we’re constantly looking at one another
— online and in real life —

we can slowly lose sight of what is surrounding us… and of what quietly makes our life our own.

Between 2019 and 2023, my life was turned upside down.

And then,
One day, I stumbled upon my old box of watercolours.
Mysteriously,
it had found its way back to me after I had given it away more than thirty years earlier.

Back then, an artist /professor told me that I wasn’t good at watercolour.

I believed him.
So I stopped.

Holding that old paintbox again, something unexpected happened.
My curiosity to see whether the paints were still usable became stronger
than
my fear of making a fool of myself.

That tiny moment changed everything.

That paintbox made me pay attention to what was around me.
I started noticing small things worth painting/reflecting/being grateful for.

A weathered door.
A flower growing through a crack.
An imaginary landscape.

As I painted, stories began to unfold.

Looking back, I can honestly say that this little paintbox
—and my pen—
helped carry me through one of the most difficult seasons of my life.

I don’t know your story, but if you arrived here, something perhaps quietly resonated

I’d love to invite you to your own curiosity reset

For seven days, I’ll be your Quiet Guide.

Each day you’ll receive one small invitation to
observe, write and paint
simple enough to fit into everyday life,
yet meaningful enough to change the way you see it.

Together we’ll awaken your natural curiosity through wandering, wondering, painting and writing.

At the end of the week,

you’ll hold something more than a journal.
You’ll hold seven days of paying attention.
Seven days of your own words.
Seven days of seeing differently.

A gentle return to yourself.
Maybe even to the girl you thought you lost along the way…
