My Story


Pulsing

Hi. I am authenktic and on this website I tell my story about my path to more happiness and a more beautiful world.

We are all on our way to our goal, each in our own way. My way is pulsing.

I pulse with my heart (physically) but also with my heart, head and hands (by feeling, thinking and doing).

I create and spread pulsating bright spots. Small repetitive moments of happiness that make life worth living for me.

Every spot is small, modest and a bit quirky.

What I want to show is precisely that recurring everydayness. The great happiness that is in all those beautiful little moments. That’s the pulse.

I make my pulsating bright spots or small moments of happiness in different series, each with its own frequency: Thank YouLoveGrowShineBright SpotThe Pastry ManHenk Verhulst.

Each series is about a value that is important to me, which I convert into repetitive actions and transform into pulsating bright spots.

I pulsate because I realize that my heart only beats for a limited time, and therefore I only have a limited time to do something beautiful and meaningful with my heart, head and hands.

Paradoxically, it is precisely the fixed rhythm of the pulsation that gives me the space to create and spread many beautiful moments of happiness.

My motto: make meaningful moments.

My mission: I want to make the world a little more beautiful by creating and spreading small moments of happiness.

I want to help people with my bright spots, inspire them and also let them pulsate, so that they also help people, inspire them and let them pulsate, so that they also…

My small contribution to a more beautiful world
