I had looked it up once in the past and put it in my calendar. Perfect! And what makes it even more special, in my opinion, is that today marks exactly five years since we left the Netherlands. I never expected that we would return. A lot is happening inside me because of that. So it feels like the perfect moment for some reflection.<br data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"702\" \/>This blog is about the insights life has given me. Our reflection on the past five years has been shared today in a YouTube interview, which you can watch here.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"1143\">I also discovered today that \u201c20,000 days\u201d has even become the title of a documentary by Nick Cave. I had no idea who he was, but apparently he\u2019s a musician (I think I look younger than he does, hahaha) and in the film he lets his thoughts wander through his life and his future.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1262\">Maybe I\u2019m halfway through my life. Maybe not. Maybe I\u2019m already close to death. In the end, it doesn\u2019t really matter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1721\">Those 20,000 days of experience have shaped me into the person I am today \u2014 with all her quirks and flaws. I\u2019ve already done, experienced, and seen so many things!! Amazing!!<br data-start=\"1438\" data-end=\"1441\" \/>And yet\u2026 right now, my life feels heavy. I\u2019m struggling to see the meaning of it all. Despite everything I know. And perhaps the place where we are now plays a role in that too. I\u2019m not really used to feeling this way \u2014 at least not since I learned that I am the one at the wheel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1843\">What have I learned in these 20,000 days?<br data-start=\"1764\" data-end=\"1767\" \/>Of course, far too much to list. But I\u2019m picking out a few important points:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Insight 1&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1756305885982-cd531580-6ee2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;\u2018I didn&#8217;t choose my family'&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"148\" data-end=\"275\">A classic line of mine whenever we had to visit family and I didn\u2019t feel at home with my uncles, aunts, cousins, and relatives.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"277\" data-end=\"809\">Back in 2000, when I was on online forums about childhood vaccinations, there were people who said that the soul chooses the parents. At the time, I thought that was nonsense. By now, I believe that sometimes it <em data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"493\">is<\/em> true. I think it can be the case when soul agreements have been made. But sometimes you also come here for certain experiences, and you end up with people who help provide those experiences\u2014or you are shaped by what happens with them, and those experiences help guide you toward the ones you actually came here for.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"1260\">That\u2019s why I believe that family should never be forced on you. It clicks or it doesn\u2019t. But nothing should be mandatory just because of a bloodline. Especially when it comes to uncles, aunts, cousins, and extended relatives. If it\u2019s fun, great. If not, you won\u2019t see me ;). Often, others can\u2019t handle that, because \u201cthat\u2019s not how it\u2019s supposed to be.\u201d I really don\u2019t care. It\u2019s <strong data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1197\">my<\/strong> life, and I choose who I do or do not want to spend time with.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Insight 2&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1756305886010-58b480cd-c1c7&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Death is not the end!&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"145\" data-end=\"359\">When I was seven years old, I was staying with my grandparents\u00a0Dijkstra during the Christmas holidays. My grandfather had a heart attack, and a few days later he passed away in the hospital after another one.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"361\" data-end=\"513\">I had a cousin who came to the Netherlands when she was four years old, but when she was ten and I was almost fourteen, she passed away. It was a shock!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"515\" data-end=\"1042\">I couldn\u2019t make sense of it. She had already lost her parents, then she was adopted at the age of four, and then she still died at ten? I just couldn\u2019t understand it. Once again, I was confronted with death up close. When I sat in my room and asked what the meaning of it all was, I felt the presence of my <em data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"828\">grandfather<\/em> Dijkstra, and he let me know that she was safe, or that everything was alright. In any case, a deep sense of peace washed over me. And from that moment on, I knew with absolute certainty that death is not the end.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1312\">That understanding continues to deepen and shift even now. Recently I discovered that when we are awake, we are actually asleep\u2014and when we sleep, we return to our natural state of BEING. I could never grasp this in the past. Now it\u2019s starting to sound almost logical!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Insight 3&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1756306817606-af78c67d-de5a&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;A higher education is better avoided&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"167\" data-end=\"533\">As the oldest grandchild in the Dijkstra family, I felt a certain pressure to perform. As a girl, I felt I had to prove myself even more: <em data-start=\"305\" data-end=\"326\">Was I smart enough?<\/em><br data-start=\"326\" data-end=\"329\" \/>I had a fine experience in primary school. After that, I went to what we call HAVO. Yes, I had to work for it, but I didn\u2019t truly resist it, even though many subjects and much of the knowledge didn\u2019t make sense to me.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"695\">The result aftter that: I completed a one-year private hostess training that prepared me for the travel industry <strong data-start=\"636\" data-end=\"643\">and<\/strong> the business world, with no fewer than 23 subjects!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"697\" data-end=\"1074\">It wasn\u2019t until I had children of my own that I became far more critical of the school system. I noticed how children were forced into a mold and were expected to become \u201caverage.\u201d Kids who were too smart were expected to tone it down. And children who were behind were pressured to perform better. All despite promises that every child would learn at their own pace and level.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1463\">In the past 10 years, it has become especially clear to me that the higher the education, the <strong data-start=\"1170\" data-end=\"1178\">less<\/strong> developed the ability for independent thinking seems to be! And the less people actually know about life.<br data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1287\" \/>And the essential things you need in order to live aren\u2019t taught at all: finances, growing food, caring for animals, living in harmony with nature, using your inner guidance&#8230;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1465\" data-end=\"1771\">And in the end, all those \u201cbright minds\u201d rely heavily on skilled tradespeople\u2014people who can actually <em data-start=\"1567\" data-end=\"1571\">do<\/em> things with their hands. And yet that group is undervalued, both as human beings and in salary. Meanwhile, the \u201cbright minds\u201d can\u2019t do those things themselves and uphold a system based on dependency.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1773\" data-end=\"1960\">For that reason, it was an easy choice to take our children, both of whom were at the start of their final year in HAVO, with us abroad. From <em data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"1903\">life<\/em> they learn how to truly how to live\u2014that\u2019s how I see it now. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Insight 4&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1756307011802-857dcdb2-7516&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;We nemen het leven veel te serieus&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"174\" data-end=\"320\">I find it funny that this one pops up for me \u2014 and that I genuinely see it as true \u2014 while at the same time I still fall into that trap myself. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"322\" data-end=\"650\">More and more I understand that a part of my original Self is here on Earth for a human experience, and that it simply needs a body for that. Nothing more, nothing less.<br data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"494\" \/>\u2018My\u2019 children are not <em data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"522\">mine<\/em>. \u2018My\u2019 husband is not <em data-start=\"544\" data-end=\"550\">mine<\/em>. I have children, and I have a husband. I have hands, and I have a body. But THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"652\" data-end=\"1032\">This also means that, in essence, nothing needs to be taken personally. Of course, that doesn\u2019t give anyone permission to behave unkindly. At our core, we <em data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"812\">are<\/em> love. And we are all connected. The more I realise this, the more compassion I feel for everyone. That doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m friends with everyone \u2014 but it does mean there is no space for hatred, no matter what someone does.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1205\">The lighter you move through life, the more enjoyable your experiences will be. Because we attract what matches our frequency. So you might as well make it fun \ud83d\ude03, right?!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Insight 5&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1756307216303-ef80388f-f9fb&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Everyone has their own path to follow&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"169\" data-end=\"436\">In March 2020, I initially wanting to shake everyone up a bit and tell them about the truth that was happening. But later that year, after we left the Netherlands and started a nomadic lifestyle, I came to the realisation that EVERYONE IS RIGHT \u2014 because we all see the world through our own lens. And for every point of view, evidence can be found to support it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"438\" data-end=\"517\">From that insight came the next one: everyone is here for their own experience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"519\" data-end=\"880\">Perhaps you are here to help others, through your death or trauma, to avoid certain choices. Feeling all emotions is something we can only do as humans, not when we return to our natural state as pure energy. And if we want to experience everything, chances are we will also be a perpetrator in one of our lives \u2014 just as at some point we will also be a victim.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"1174\">This insight has given me incredible peace. I no longer feel the need to change people \u2014 I let them be where they are. It also means I give far less \u201cadvice,\u201d because that comes from my own experience. And by sharing my experience, I would already be influencing the outcome for someone else.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Insight 6&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1756307214127-49e32c95-7148&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;There is no reincarnation \u2014 all lives are happening NOW&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"196\" data-end=\"443\">Only after watching this podcast did I begin to understand how everything can be woven together. How it\u2019s possible that when you resolve something in your own life, it can be healed for your ancestors, but also for your children and grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"834\">From the perspective of time, this makes no sense at all. And although I had often heard that time doesn\u2019t exist \u2014 and was willing to accept the idea \u2014 I never truly understood it. Today, 27 August 2025, is not the same moment as 3 October 1845. So how could I, here and now, do something that could still affect an ancestor living in that time?<br data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"793\" \/>I simply couldn\u2019t wrap my head around it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"1071\">Reincarnation was something that, due to my Christian upbringing, was impossible \u2014 at least at first. But from around the age of 35, that belief began to shift. I started to realise that we don\u2019t have just one life, but countless ones.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1445\">At Ten Have Publishers, where I worked from 2005 onwards, a book was published about a child who could remember his life as a pilot in the Second World War. He had died in combat, shot down. His sister from that life was still alive. The child visited her and even knew her nickname for him. It was fascinating \u2014 and it made me think more and more about my own past lives.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"2025\">Until I saw a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vwYqXo1EJcM\">podcast from Next Level Soul about Quantum Jumping<\/a>. Gaia Chinniah explained \u2014 for the first time in a way that finally clicked for me \u2014 that time does not exist and that all lives are happening in the <em data-start=\"1662\" data-end=\"1667\">now<\/em>. She shared an example of a woman who couldn\u2019t get pregnant in this life. Through a quantum jump, Gaia entered one of that woman\u2019s other lives and discovered the source of her struggle. She resolved the issue <em data-start=\"1877\" data-end=\"1884\">there<\/em>, which immediately influenced the woman\u2019s current life (because everything exists in the now) \u2014 and indeed, the woman later became pregnant.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2027\" data-end=\"2063\">At last, everything fell into place for myself!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Insight 7&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1756307487194-87438249-a32d&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Nothing \u201chappens\u201d to me \u2014 I am the one behind the wheel&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"192\" data-end=\"278\">For a long time, I didn\u2019t understand it when people said that being happy is a choice.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"280\" data-end=\"412\">So many things happen, right?! How could I be happy about them if they weren\u2019t exactly pleasant experiences? I really didn\u2019t get it!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"414\" data-end=\"850\">By a series of circumstances (which, of course, weren\u2019t coincidental), the book <em data-start=\"494\" data-end=\"515\">Ask and It Is Given<\/em> by Esther, Jerry &amp; Abraham Hicks crossed my path in 2016 (thanks to Robert Bridgeman, who was an author at the publishing group where I still worked, and who hadn\u2019t actually read the book himself \ud83d\ude05). I started reading it, and the content was so different from everything I knew that sometimes I could only read a few pages at a time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"1378\">After finishing the book, I wanted to know even more. I wanted to understand it fully. Luckily, there are tons of YouTube videos on virtually every topic \u2014 often based on someone\u2019s question. Whether it\u2019s about illness, infidelity, lacking a partner, parenting, money issues, or what else is out there in the universe \u2014 you can find explanations from Abraham on nearly everything. After endlessly watching, it slowly started to sink in. And now, I can often answer questions myself when I hear them. It\u2019s incredibly empowering!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1380\" data-end=\"2159\">This knowledge made me realise that there\u2019s no point in crying for hours, or being angry for hours, days, or even weeks over something (which I <em data-start=\"1524\" data-end=\"1536\">definitely<\/em> used to do with Leo). Many people disagree with this, believing it means bypassing your emotions. But I followed the advice and experienced that it really works. Of course, you can show your emotions, but you shouldn\u2019t stay stuck in them. Your natural state is love and happiness \u2014 and you can choose to return to that state, so that you can attract more of it. Incidentally, the positive counts many times more than the negative. So you don\u2019t even need to be positive more than half the time to attract positive experiences. Even 20 minutes a day of consciously choosing beautiful thoughts can make a world of difference!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2161\" data-end=\"2351\">Since then, my life has changed. I enjoy it so much more. Many people prefer to blame others and circumstances. I prefer to be in control and take responsibility \u2014 another theme of our time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2353\" data-end=\"2855\">I can also let go much more in my relationship and allow my partner to make his own choices, choices that aren\u2019t mine. And most importantly, to let go. Let go of children, who have their own path here on Earth and must learn. Let go of the idea that my partner <em data-start=\"2614\" data-end=\"2623\">belongs<\/em> to me. He is a free person who can choose. And it doesn\u2019t say anything about me if he were not to choose me. Everyone is free to follow their own path and learn along the way. My \u201cchallenge\u201d then is to maintain my own boundaries.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2857\" data-end=\"3142\">For a while, we even discussed the idea of an open relationship. But we both came back from that idea (without a third or fourth person being involved). We concluded that, perhaps in an ideal world, it could work, but it\u2019s still too deep in us to handle it \u2014 and that\u2019s perfectly fine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3144\" data-end=\"3198\">There are no wrong choices. It just has to fit <em data-start=\"3191\" data-end=\"3195\">me<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Insight 8&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1756319220966-fe9e1432-4cbe&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Follow the Money&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"388\" data-end=\"1050\">I discovered early on that so much in life is connected to money. When I started working at Rabobank at nineteen (because they still had a travel agency back then, where I really wanted to work), I learned that I wasn\u2019t allowed to join the pension fund. I hadn\u2019t completed four years of further education after high school, nor had I gone to university. I simply started working young \u2014 and I assumed that meant I would also retire young. When they told me I could only participate from age 23 onward, I began to see through a lot of things, and I stopped believing in the pension system altogether. It became clear that I would have to take care of that myself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"2011\">In the year 2000, a lot happened regarding health. On one hand, my husband became ill, and the hospitals couldn\u2019t find anything \u2014 so officially it didn\u2019t exist. At the same time, we had just welcomed our first daughter, and suddenly I began reading about the National Vaccination Program and what it might do to healthy babies. How severe are the diseases they\u2019re vaccinated against, and what are the actual risks for children (and adults)? During that period, we made huge leaps in understanding how the healthcare system works. The child health centers seemed to have one main purpose: guiding people along the vaccination path. And we saw how nutrition could be healing \u2014 we saw it in my husband. Through alternative medicine, we discovered what <em data-start=\"1801\" data-end=\"1806\">was<\/em> wrong with him (a metabolic condition that regular medicine couldn\u2019t detect, because they can only test for a specific variant \u2014 and if it\u2019s not that one, they\u2019ll never know which one you actually have!).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2436\">I discovered that research is often sponsored by companies that already have a solution.<br data-start=\"2101\" data-end=\"2104\" \/>I discovered that if you want a certain outcome in a study, you can always steer it that way. It depends on who funds it and what the financial interests are.<br data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2265\" \/>I discovered that being healthy doesn\u2019t generate enough profit \u2014 being sick and creating pills <em data-start=\"2360\" data-end=\"2366\">does<\/em>.<br data-start=\"2367\" data-end=\"2370\" \/>I discovered that doctors don\u2019t study health; they study medicine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2438\" data-end=\"2763\">And I began seeing more patterns in taxes and banking as well. A government undervaluing the country\u2019s currency, leading to massive inflation after transitioning to the euro. It fits the plan: people must have less, because then they are more easily influenced. If they can take care of themselves, they cannot be controlled.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2765\" data-end=\"3248\">In short, over the years I discovered that so\u2011called \u201cconspiracy theories\u201d are not theories at all, but the harsh truth. I\u2019m not saying every theory is correct, but they are labeled that way to frame people who think differently \u2014 so that those who believe the media assume that this group is crazy. They\u2019re not. That group has the ability to think for themselves and truly investigate. They don\u2019t look at what\u2019s written in newspapers. They examine entirely different kinds of facts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3250\" data-end=\"3675\">That\u2019s why I started seeing the importance of doing things differently. I saw how the blockchain technology used in crypto could be a perfect opportunity for an alternative economy. But unfortunately, we also discovered that a lot of fraud happens there as well. Sadly! We haven\u2019t yet found a good working alternative system, but we continue searching. That things <em data-start=\"3615\" data-end=\"3620\">can<\/em> be different is clear. We\u2019re going to crack that code!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Sectie&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1756319153254-66c8b6be-56b4&#8243;][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"136\" data-end=\"330\">Looking back over this list, I can see the pattern: I\u2019m trying to understand life. To grasp its purpose, the reason for being here on Earth. And I\u2019m also trying to understand the bigger picture.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"332\" data-end=\"689\">Ultimately, it\u2019s all about experiences. Whether here on Earth, on another planet, or in a distant star system\u2026 everything is about experiences. That\u2019s where knowledge lies. But the creative power comes entirely from <em data-start=\"548\" data-end=\"560\">the desire<\/em> \u2014 from being able to envision it. That\u2019s how new planets are created, new stars are born, and new universes come into existence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"983\"><em data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"714\">\u201cA Drop in the Ocean\u201d<\/em> is a business-spirituality book also published by Ten Have. In essence, that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about. Everything is connected, everything is intertwined. All the qualities of the universe are already within us. And together, we form the Earth, a star system, and beyond!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"1188\">All I need to do is enjoy every experience. Not to take it too seriously, no matter whether it fits the picture in my head or not. In the end, it leads me to the experiences I came here on Earth to have.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1423\">As far as I\u2019m concerned \u2014 here\u2019s to the next 20,000 days! If I learn as much in the next 20,000 as I did in the first, I can hardly wait! In the meantime, I\u2019ll enjoy life even more, and now, more than ever, I\u2019ll take the wheel again.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1769\">We\u2019re finding a place to call home. A place where we can start our vegetable garden with a greenhouse (I\u2019ve already grown lots of little pepper plants!). And we want a space where we can host workshops, helping new nomads become more self-reliant \u2014 including technically. We\u2019re excited to share the knowledge we\u2019ve gathered over the past years!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][stm_sidebar sidebar=&#8221;527&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_zigzag color=&#8221;orange&#8221; el_width=&#8221;70&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Other blogs I wrote&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1763376808486{margin-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_basic_grid post_type=&#8221;post&#8221; max_items=&#8221;3&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1763377052994-9bc3a681-cf71-5&#8243; taxonomies=&#8221;133&#8243; el_class=&#8221;consulting_posts posts_per_row_3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]August 27, 2025[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;I celebrate 20,000 days on earth!!!&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1763374634316{margin-top: 20px !important;}&#8221; subtitle=&#8221;8 insights that I gained in these 54 years, 9 months and 20 days on this planet&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7344&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Today, August 27th, 2025, I have been on this Earth for 20,000 days!!
