Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname

 Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname Just like in the photo above this text, I am okay but I am not completely okay. I feel awful on the inside and for a long time it was difficult to find the motivation to return to blogging.  Tomorrow's Christmas, so I mustered all of my strength to at least finish another episode. I've been gone for a while because as usual, life got hectic. But this time in a bad way! As you guys know a while ago I started a company in Suriname. Most of my days were spent creating Story Time episodes, working, doing social work or going along to get a taste of the field.  When we go to clients, sometimes I get to see awesome places. Or in between on our journeys we tend to make pitstops. This Story Time episode is supposed to be about my visit to Beni's Christmas palace. But let me tell you about what happened after that first. Just so you can understand how my Christmas spirit, transformed in the energy of mourning. People see the good, but I'l...

 Midnight Creeps: Haunted Plantation

"Illustration of Surinamese slaves working on a sugar plantation"



Hello friends, how have you been? We're already in October! Gasp, time does go by fast.😏 It's the month of Halloween and I've finally got to posting this episode of Midnight Creeps on my blog. As you know we're counting down Halloween with a creepy story each Friday night at Midnight! Welcome to episode 5 called " Haunted Plantation". This Story Time episode is inspired by my visit to plantation Frederiksdorp in Commewijne. On this plantation, many cruel things happened, and the history tour I took only inspired my creativity. I already launched episode 6 of Midnight Creeps, but unfortunately, my audio didn't come out correctly during that livestream. I'll have to redo that one, and it's a real pity because that one was the best so far. It takes us on an adventure to the realm of the King of Halloween Town. But at least you guys get to enjoy episode 5 of Midnight Creeps. If you are new to my Story Time blog, make sure to subscribe or follow my blog! That way you'll be the first to receive my exclusive content in your inbox. Today is Marroon Day in Suriname. On this day we celebrate our Marroon brothers and sisters. Eons ago they fled the plantations to look for freedom deep in the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest. They didn't have an easy life and had to hide from the Redi Musu's and other armies sent to hunt them down. It was a risk that they were willing to take to be free from the reign of their cruel plantation masters. In the eyes of the rich plantation owners, they were nothing but stock. Now their descendants are still living in Suriname thanks to the bravery of their ancestors. I wish all Surinamese people a happy Marroon day! May you guys experience happienis and abundance in building up your community.

This illustration was inspired by my time spent in the Marroon Villages of Suriname. I got to learn their culture, traditions and their lifestyle. The best thing about being in Suriname is that each time I travel to another part of the country it's like visiting a whole new world. Different people, cultures and traditions sharing love under one vlag. But that might be for another Story Time episode!
👽👾🛸 Have fun watching my video and see you at next week's episode of Midnight Creeps. I'll be waiting for you with more stories from right here in tropical Suriname.💓
