eBook front coverThe Death and Birth of My Mother and I 

 

  • I enjoyed reading it. A lovely story about a mother and her daughter (proofreader/editor, retired journalist)
  • Very easy to read. I can see why hospice would be interested in it as this story is told from a relative’s perspective (clinical nurse)
  • The process of dying of the mother and her daughter’s experience described beautifully and respectfully. At times I read this with tears in my eyes (retired, traveller)

You can buy your copy here.

The Death and Birth of My Mother and I

I am absolutely thrilled to announce the publication of my new book The Death and Birth of My Mother and I.

I have been extremely privileged and am very grateful to have been able to be by my mother’s side in the process of her transition between the diagnosis of metastatic melanoma and the moment of her passing – a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget.

The Death and Birth of My Mother and I cover

Writing about the experience of six intense months filled with emotion has allowed me to process the whole event from astonishing disbelief to the inevitable outcome: the miracle of death – or arguably, the metaphorical birth of my mother as well as myself.

I hope you will enjoy my story. A very personal perspective based on diary notes by my mother as well as my own.

To celebrate the launch of my book I am giving away three copies, otherwise available for purchase in paperback and Kindle eBook on Amazon.

BUYING PROPERTY IN NZ FRONT PAGE

Well as they say nothing is for nothing!

Yes I ventured out for a year and “had a go” at selling real estate. In that time I was invited as a speaker at Migrant Connections Taranaki in New Plymouth to talk about buying property in New Zealand.

On the night I handed out my presentation in booklet form to some twenty migrants and some representatives of Migrant Connections Taranaki and Citizens Advice Bureau who loved it so much that they found it worthy to hand out to future clients.

Reason being I managed to explain in simple English some common terms used in the Sale and Purchase process which is appealing language wise as well as visually.

I have now published this booklet on Amazon.com where you will be able to purchase it as a paperback, kindle, and more, all around the world! It’s a 24 page booklet which includes a few blank pages for note taking and comes with glossy cover.

Perfect for anyone considering a move to New Zealand as well as the true and blue Kiwi first home buyer.

Hello all!

Wow after a year of membership with FAA (Fine Art America) and a very busy life I am finally getting the time to exploring this site a bit further and am starting to get the hang of some of the features it offers. Over the last few days I spent much time on creating email lists for future emails and have sent my very first email out (very exciting!) basically to put my feelers out to see what the reactions would be (if any!)

Pleased to see that the response so far has been positive and that further emails will be welcome 🙂 ~ if you’d like to receive my updates please subscribe to my website here

I am currently in the process of catching up with uploading some of my creations / photography and there is so much yet to come.

I am a creative working with multi media and spent the last six months learning how to etch and have worked with zinc plates as well as photopolymer. Etching has been around for a long time and Rembrandt was a Dutch artist whose images no doubt will be familiar to you. It’s amazing that in hundreds of years the techniques are virtually still the same.

You will be seeing some of mine in time to come ~ not too far away hopefully! Etching has been most challenging but as rewarding as well, asking a lot of my patience as the process can be very time consuming!

As well as a creative I am also a practicing auric magnetic energy healer and work with people from home in New Zealand and do absent healings for people all over the globe (www.auricmagneticenergyhealing.co.nz). I also work as a field interviewer for several research companies in New Zealand, and am in the process of gaining my real estate salesperson licence. Working my own hours allows me to retain my sense of freedom!

You can check me out on Facebook too, on my pages Auric Magnetic Energy Healing, Ingrid van Amsterdam Art, Photography and Film, and

Looking forward to getting to know you and wish you all the best for the new year,

Ingrid 🙂
