Having a heart attack has given me new insights into life and its transience. This gave me the idea to give lectures about my insights and, as usual, I do this in my own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Informative and anecdotal stories about life themes such as illness and loss. Topics that deserve attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The title Life Lectures: Over and Out<\/strong> has three meanings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all in Dutch ‘over’ means ‘about’ and the combination ‘over and out’ it means finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The kick-off is on April 30, 2020, which is exactly six months after my heart attack<\/strong>. This lecture is based on my own experiences. In an informative and anecdotal way, I speak about looking ‘death on stilts’ in the eye, experiences in the cardiology department, cardiac rehabilitation physio, ‘are you still alive?’ neighbor app group and other post-heart attack perils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 30 July and 30 November (moved to 7 December) are the updates are the updates for nine and twelve months after my heart attack. At least if my heart stays whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other life themes are also discussed and I besides that invite guest speakers. Currently I am preparing for a lecture titled Dutch rusk without sugercoated aniseeds<\/strong>, that will be scheduled next calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A little context about this Dutch treats tradition:<\/span> So keep an eye on the agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also an opportunity to ask questions. These can also be submitted in advance via the contactform<\/strong><\/a>, then they will be processed in the lecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dutch rusk with with butter sprinkled with sugarcoated aniseeds are the traditional food served to celebrate the birth of a baby in the Netherlands. They are sold in a mixture of two colours: the white-pink mixture is served when a girl is born and the white-blue mixure is served when a boy is born. For now I leave it to your imagination what this lecture will be about.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
