I will take you through my quirky life story. A story that started with 25 years on stage: as a professional singer and pianist, in theaters, at weddings, in studios and in places I sometimes didn't even know existed. I've sung absolutely everything — from my own songs to purely commercial gigs — and every note has shaped me. When the big breakthrough didn't materialize, I decided to reinvent myself. I went to college, found my way in the world of political advice and discovered new talents I didn't know I had. At the age of 48, I even started a painting company — just because I could, and because I have always had faith in daring to start over. And now? Now I am fully committed to my investments to be able to live independently for the rest of my life. But above all, I have found the music again. After almost twenty years of silence, I dare to sing, play, create again... And that makes me happier than ever. I dream of performing again, sharing my own music and touching others with the creativity that has always been in me. Because if you want to be happy, you have to do what makes you happy. (Cruijff was right.) Read, listen, watch, and enjoy — and who knows, maybe our paths will cross again. Love, Jacqueline
