Tagged by Soulbrush!

Soulbrush tagged me to write seven random facts about myself. Here goes: 1.)I am born and raised in Rotterdam, but I live in Zeeland for 20 years! 2.) I have been renovating my former house for 17 years, I sold it the day it was finished. Best thing I ever did! 3.) I have been working for KLM for almost 24 years and since 4 years as a senior Purser. Gosh I´m turning into a fossil........ 4.) I have a diplom for running an animal shelter. Before I got pregnant the second time I worked as a (parttime) assistant manager in a shelter in Middelburg. 5.) I live with 4 cats, 2 dogs and we have 2 deer in the front yard. The deer came with the house when we bought it. 6.) I still have the Swedish passport. My father , who was a sailor met my mom when he was in Rotterdam,at that time the largest harbour in the world. I had to choose when I was 21 and decided to keep my Swedish nationality. I have one Swedish brother and one Chinese brother (confused?) 7.) I started painting mandalas when I was 40, when I got a mandala as a birthday gift. When I saw the mandala I knew this was something I wanted to do myself as well. I have been addicted ever since and yes........life begins at 40! I am tagging the following people to find out more about them: Teri Kim Suki Muktha Lisa M Griffin Diana and last but not least Emmitt! Here are the rules: 1 Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog 2 Share 7 random and weird facts about yourself on your blog 3 Tag 7 people at the end of the post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog 4 Let them know they've been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blog.

  2. Marianne!

    Wow! You have an amazingly fun life. I am not sure I can tell you such interesting things about myself, but I will try.

    I have never been tagged before and today I have been tagged two times! :) Does that mean I do 14 odd things about myself?

    Seriously, thank you Marianne, I will do my best with this challenge.

    Very interesting facts! What do the initials stand for for where you work??? You balance the books (like bookkeeping???).

  10. You're a fascinating person! So did you paint before 40, aside from mandalas? Doing mandalas, and painting period, is like meditation, I have always thought, and yours are phenomenal! BTW, you're no fossil, you're a diva and an inspiration (:

    Much love and infinite blessings!
