Where your donations go?
Hi there,
Just felt the inspiration to give you a little inside info about how your money is being used—just an honest sharing from my side.
First, I am so grateful that you are here. It really gives me freedom to my greatest work and to be who i want to be. And it's very nice to be met by all of you. I feel seen and great. So thank you for that.
It also feels a bit vulnerable to share this with you, because normally, us humans don't really talk about money.
Anyways, here comes a little inside in my life and financial situation. We are very blessed to have some real estate (villa's) in Bali. And this generates income for us (my husband, my daughter, and me). It's enough for basic needs like food and shelter.
Last year we still had a reasonable crypto portfolio, but unfortunately, that has been kinda evaporated. Couple of poor decicions from my partner in a downturning market, and it was gone like the wind (he is forgiven for that).
So a few weeks ago we were brainstorming and praying for another stream of income for our family. And then it happened. My YouTube channel has blown up and now generates a small income. Now we have added Patreon, and this gives us exactly what we needed: another income. It's still a small income, but we are incredibly grateful for what is unfolding for us.
So to answer the question I dropped above. Your contributions are now being used for:
Buying new clothes for me
Getting some extra's like massages and doing some sessions for my fysical body.
Paying for our staff (nanny and chef/housekeeper)
And with the growth of this space and my YouTube channel, we dream about the following things:
Pay for a 1-year lease for a house/villa here on the island. A beachfront bungalow/villa with kitchen!
Get a water filter system to drink the most amazing and healthy water
Go on holiday to Thailand and India (and maybe the US)
Invest in a staff member who can follow me during the day and help me record videos and publish the most amazing content.
There you go. Please let me know what you think after reading this. I hope to give you some more insight into my life and give you a good feeling about your contribution to this space. It really makes a huge difference in my life.
