As-salamu alaykum. It’s funny how something as simple as a greeting can carry so much weight. It’s more than just “hello” – it’s a prayer, a blessing, a way of spreading peace. It reminds me of the importance of connection, of community, of treating each other with kindness. It’s something I try to be mindful of, a small act with big ripples.And speaking of big things coming from small acts… self-love. It sounds so cliché, doesn’t it? But honestly, it’s been my lifeline. Especially these past eleven years. Since the breakup, since… well, since everything fell apart. There were days, so many days, where just getting out of bed felt like climbing a mountain. But I learned, slowly, painfully, that I had to fill my own cup before I could pour anything into my kids, into anyone. You can’t give what you don’t have. * It’s a big year. The year the debt finally gets paid off. Eleven years. Eleven years of struggling, of juggling, of wondering how I was going to make it all work. Co-parenting… Don’t even get me started. It’s been a rollercoaster, to say the least. But my kids… they’re my everything. My eldest is 21, alreadY a great man. My youngest is 14, navigating her own world.

My daughter and I had an amazing Monday night at the Melkweg in Amsterdam! It was such a special “mama-daughter” night out, and seeing Omar Rudberg, her absolute favourite artist, perform was the perfect way to spend it. She’s been a huge fan of his for ages, so this was a dream come true for her.I first heard of Omar when he was with FO&O, but it’s his solo stuff that my daughter loves. His music is such a great mix of pop, R&B, and hip-hop – it’s so catchy! The Melkweg was the ideal venue; it felt so intimate, which made the whole experience even better. When Omar came on stage, the energy in the room just exploded! He’s such a dynamic performer, and he captivated the audience, especially my daughter. Her face lit up the entire time. I was so excited when he sang “La Mesa” – everyone was singing and dancing along, and my daughter knew every single word. It was such a fun, shared moment. And then, he did a cover of Rihanna’s “Rude Boy”! It was completely unexpected and amazing. He put his spin on it, and it sounded fantastic. The crowd went wild!Besides being super talented, Omar is also really charismatic. He interacted with the crowd a lot, which made it feel like he was connecting with everyone. It…
