the BLOG as BOOK!
This book is a compilation of my thoughts, fears and dreams in times of change: societal change due to the pandemic, and personal change due to moving homes as a small family. It features all log-book style entries from this blog in 2020 to digest all the foreseen and unforeseen firsts of a turbulent year.
The table of contents make the blog content more accessible to those readers who prefer a book in their hands rather than a screen – and 10 pages of photo souvenirs give insights into beautiful Ixelles, stunning Arabianranta and precious summer cabin life.
The book looks back at the past, holds still in the present and points to the future. It contains emotional experiences, trivial memories, societal assessments and political stances as well as occasional spelling mistakes and colloquial terminology.
All -potential- income through book sales will be donated 50:50 to those in care and on the streets. Namely 50% to the Brussels' homeless assistance "L'ilot" and 50% to the Belgian association of infirmier*es in the care sector "L'ACN" – with 3€ grains and a mere 10% of Brussels’ eurocrats purchasing it, they’d end at ± 25.000€. Each. Just saying.
You can purchase it for 15,15€ from this site: epubli
