Hi! I m Marisabel! Puertorican living the Dutch life. This is my personal web garden to make things grow. : I write about life, words and colors. Sometimes about my kids.
This is my entry for the IndieWeb Carnival of August 2026, hosted by Chris . I wanted to try a different angel, and I also wrote this originally on paper. I could write on the purpose of life, as we call it. But I believe in a purposeless life. To each their own. To each a song. To each a book. To each a heartbreak. To each a love story. To each a meaning. To each a purpose. Our own. I could write…
[!NOTE](This post was handwritten on Monday 10th of august and corresponds to week 32 but to reasons mentioned bellow, posted today.) Officially on holidays for about a week now. It was a fun week at the holiday park. And while my aim with my blog restrict the informality of this post — the practice of soft prose — here I go anyways. The Car We live close to all sort of public transport, which…
I am officially on vacations. Vacations will last until the day before my birthday — three weeks. On my birthday I go back to work. I look forward to going next week to our vakantiepark , letting children roam free. We go to the same one as last year because it fits our needs. This week’s reflection will be short as I try to minimize my digital and online time (I got carried away). I forgot to…
Let's begin this week's reflection with the highlight. Rio Roller - Mayhem II Quad Roller-skates Finally got Rio Roller - Mayhem II Quad Rollerskates ! I also wrote a post about roller-skating . I am looking forward to Wednesday, given that the weather remains gentle. Japanese Progress Although my motivation fluctuates, I still experience brief spurts of it. I was on the verge of what I thought…
After 2 years of pondering to get new skates, I finally got urban skating roller-skates ! Not that I could not buy them. My old skates are still in good shape. However, they were meant as temporary. Rightfully so. A test run. As usual, I took my time to decide on an upgrade. After my last pregnancy, my feet gained half a size — a common occurrence — meaning my skates were very tight around my…
Perception of color , a fascinating idea — evident by last year’s IndieWeb blog carnival theme I hosted . This fascination is seeded by personal need to understand my own perception. I am often questioned about color choice in my art. Most consider them artistic choice. While I do oversaturate the hues, I actually see these hues. My art is my attempt to show the world the colors I see, hence the…
Weekly notes? Weekly reflections? Weekly notes usurp my mental space. An inability to articulate blog-posts have me ponder a way to break from hesitating behavior. My drafts grow, my confidence diminishes. Mental space overtaken by life itself. As I am unable to sit with the thoughts I wrote. Most would think of editing for a blog a waste of time — just post it! — you say; — who cares! — you…
There is a trend called the “ wall staring ”. If you are unaware of this — blissfully so — it is Gen-Z meditation rediscovery — stubborn creatures they are. They set the clock and stare at a wall for 10 minutes. This act of doing nothing rests their brain. Something the Dutch have done for a long time and even have a verb for . It is good a thing. Other parts of the world call it meditation. “…
As I write. As I type. As I adapt manifestation of expression. Minimalistic approach to words. Elegant simplicity. Poems hidden in lines; lines hidden in words. Games conjured by accidental voice in my head. Head full of narrators and whispers of collected memories. Ghosts of something deeper. Coherence lost a while ago. The machine took it away. I wonder on deserted landscapes searching truth…
[!NOTE](This is a journey of experimentation with words.) Dialog Admired voices group, an invite is welcomed, there is empowerment in community. What is dialog? . I, who craves and engage in active acquisition of knowledge, consideration of meaning never weighted upon mind. At that moment, thought ignited, consideration and re-framing of what conversation in. Conversation and Dialog differ in…
