The Quiet Throne: A Poem on True Power

  "That’s not power. Power acts; it does not speak. Real power is the refusal to let the world corrupt your soul—it is the bravery to act from your most authentic self. What they chase is merely an illusion. The truly powerful hold power over themselves." - Shachem Lieuw The Quiet Throne: A Poem on True Power 👑✨ In a world that screams for attention, we often mistake noise for authority. We think the loudest voice in the room holds the crown, but as I’ve learned through my journey in tech, entrepreneurship, and roaming the districts of Suriname, real power doesn't need to introduce itself. It isn't found in a title or a bank account. It’s found in the mirror. The Illusion and the Truth They think it’s a roar, a thunderous sound, A name carved in stone, or a foot on the ground. They chase the shadow, the glitter, the gold, trading their peace for a story they’re told. But that is a ghost, a flicker, a trick— A flame with no heat, a hollow-wick. For power acts, it d...

Ba Da Ba! Wrapping Up the Houttuyn Wellness River Resort Series

Drumroll, please! 🥁 The sweet melodies of life have brought me back to your screens! Yes, guys, it's a new episode of Story Time, and with this one, we're wrapping up the Houttuyn Wellness River Resort series—for now! 😉 I had such a relaxing time that I don't mind traveling back while creating this episode for you.

A View to Remember

Before leaving Houttuyn Wellness River Resort, I just couldn't get enough of that view! I woke up early just to watch the sunrise through the glass windows. It was a beautiful sight to admire. The birds flying over the Suriname River are truly a remarkable sight to behold.

During my stay, I had the Relaxation package. This wellness resort offers various massage packages, and the Relaxation package includes one meal (lunch or dinner), herbal tea, a relaxing massage, a fruit platter, and access to the pool and Jacuzzi. The shrimp pasta I had for my birthday dinner was part of this package. Instead of herbal tea, I opted for a fruit punch.


Breakfast & Bliss

Breakfast at Houttuyn is served between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. My massage was scheduled for 10:00 a.m., so we were one of the first people to arrive at the restaurant. We ordered the Chinese chicken and shawarma chicken. I chose cornbread, and as the friendly staff prepared our food, I enjoyed my first cup of coffee. It's no secret that I'm a coffee girl! ☕️

The birds were singing in the background, and the breeze from the Suriname River kept us calm as the sun began to rise. For breakfast, you get a separate fruit platter, a plate of pancakes, and a delicious, creamy porridge. I definitely liked this breakfast a lot better than that "sardine" nightmare—but that’s a story for another episode! Make sure you subscribe to my blog so you'll be the first to receive my adventures and stories straight to your inbox.


Time Flies When You're Having Fun

After breakfast, I went for a dive in the bubble swimming pool and got ready for my 11:00 a.m. checkout. Time really does go by fast when you're having fun! I was picked up at my cabana and enjoyed every second of my relaxing massage. Of course, I was allowed to stay longer and enjoy the swimming pool and Jacuzzi, but a queen like me always has something to do. 😅 Wearing that invisible crown isn't always easy. However, my self-love exercises help me manage it all with a sane mind.
