Sent the first random postcard yesterday when I was in Brugge (Belgium) on a day trip. Just randomly to my parents – to tell them something I could’ve done by phone.

How I did it: started organizing months in advance, but had too much on my plate. too many other benefit concerts around: better to help something that already exists. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Ever since I heard her first single (Reasons Why) I was sold. I melt every time I hear her sing & the first cd helped me through difficult times. Rachael Yamagata is not just a songwriter: she pours her feelings on the page & then makes music with all her heart. I had to wait 4 years before she finally released her 2nd cd & came to the Netherlands to perform. Read how I did it…
How I did it: By not looking for it. By not giving up on the person I liked. By not caring what other people said. When I just went for it everything ended up in the best way possible. Read how I did it…

Had lunch & went shopping with a friend I hadn’t seen for 6 months – had a blast. Am visiting my best friend in Utrecht tomorrow (havent seen her for 2 months)
without smoking.. wow this is hard! Especially because the weather is so good, and there’s loads of ocasions that make me wanna smoke. Luckily I’m doing it together with my girl, who is one of the reasons as well & makes it a lot easier.
