did you believe the news about burkinis being forbidden at french beaches? be happy that those women who choose to wear that, visit a beach. it is not long ago that women in europe used to wear things that resemble burkinis, accept for the headscarves. but even those resemble the swim caps to protect the hair. and what did i see last weekend at a beach in ouddorp (south holland, the netherlands). a lot of mothers and grandmothers enjoying the beach with their kids in bikini and swimming pants, but they themselves kept on their neat blue skirt and white shirt. they do that for their christian believe. should they be obliged to undress at the beach or keep away from it. no !! everyone should wear at a beach what feels right. be happy with the variation and just enjoy the sand, the sea, the wind, the playing kids.

just imagine being banned from the beach because you can not proof you only wear clothes at the beach in the summer because you have some sun allergy, or you are ashamed of your white skin, or you use medicine that forbid to much sun on your skin?

Lenny Kravitz — Let Love Rule Love is gentle as a rose And love can conquer any war It's time to take a stand Brothers and sisters join hands We got to let love rule Let love rule We got to let love rule Let love rule Love transcends all space and time And love can make a little child smile Can't you see this won't go wrong But we got to be strong We can't do it alone We got to let love rule Let love rule We got to let love rule Let love rule

rebel met vleugels: het verhaal van icarus

marcel roijaards heeft een prachtig, meeslepend verhaal geschreven met zijn boek rebel met vleugels. hij heeft de dramatische mythe omgetoverd tot een positief en vrolijk carpe diem en liefdes- en vriendschapsverhaal. inventief is de manier waarop het verhaal verteld wordt door middel van een verboden voordracht in het openluchttheater. de gevoelens zijn herkenbaar, de woorden zijn beeldend en het verhaal van icarus is aantrekkelijk en meeslepend. meer over het boek op de website van marcel roijaards recensie van bas maliepaard

sagacious to use sage

sage is such a wonderful herb, although i do not like the tea from sage. if you, like me, hate to use chemical deodorants but also hate smelling after a busy day, you can use sage. drink it as tea with a bit of honey ( http://www.ehow.com/how_6098728_make-sage-tea-ground-sage.html ) or like me, just chew a nib of dried sage a few times a day (depending on the weather and the program from one to four times a day). it works marvellous. and besides, it is healthy for your throat too.
