What is the best thing that I love about my work?
Being genuinely helpful to others is my motive to do the work that I do. We play live music at funerals and the families are grateful for our contribution.
What is my idea of perfect happiness?
The realization of oneness.
What is my greatest fear?
That my continuously growing awareness of love and light will turn out to be fictious.
What is the trait that I most deplore in myself?
I tend to be impatient. I also find it difficult to choose.
What is my greatest extravagance?
Winter, snow, snowboarding; I love it a great deal more than sunny days.
On what occasion would I lie?
When I would be in the situation of protecting my family or in case that lying would serve the purpose of the many.
What is the influence of role models, in my work and in my life?
The best role models made me realize that my best guide is my own inner voice. They also taught me how to listen and act upon this voice within.
What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work?
The situation where live funeral music would have been desirable, if the family had known.
When and where was I the happiest, in my work?
Every funeral is important for every life is.
I am happy everytime the music at the funeral is exactly the way the family (or the deceased person) wanted it.
If I could, what would I change about myself?
I am learning more and more that my imperfections have nutritious value if I accept them. Moving forward and trying to be gentle with myself helps me not to want to change myself too much.
What is my greatest achievement in work?
Together with my business partner and husband Peter, we managed to build brand awareness shortly after we started our business. People recognize our passion to be musically supportive at a funeral.
What is my most inspirational location, in my city?
I get my inspiration from being with my family and connecting with nature.

Restaurant Eindeloos in Leeuwarden is certainly the best place to be. Lovely organic and seasonal food, served with superb hospitality.

That would definitely be my spouse, business partner and love of my life: Peter Krako.
Whom would I like to work with in the future?
Dreams which become a reality all start with the perception that everything is possible. There are two people who I woud love to work with: Richard Branson and Oprah Winfrey.
What project, in the nearby future, am I looking forward to work on?
On Saterday 4th July we have the privilege to provide for live music at a memorial on a Dutch SBS6 television show which is called Utopia.
