This year this is only the second post I am creating for the business I love so very much…
In January I lost Tim Snoeks, the love of my life and partner of eighteen years very suddenly to a heart failure. Tim was only 44. I had planned to grow old with him but this was not to be.
Life will never be the same again. I miss Tim tremendously as everyone else, who has met him along the way, does as well.
Since then I am trying to keep Tim’s business Starfish Taxis running with the amazing help of his drivers. My own passion still lies with Starfish Travel‘s Tours and YogawithKirstin.
Loosing your soul mate makes your universe crash and nothing makes any sense anymore.
Everything I touch, everywhere I look Tim is omnipresent but he is no longer here to touch, to hug, to speak to, to cuddle, to be comforted by…..
This on its own is incredible diffcult to navigate.
Then the formalities of an unsuspected death and the bureaucratic aftemath of that hit you -> fife months since Tim’s demise I am still fighting thise battles on daily basis.
I still love what I do and Tim would have wanted me to carry-on and find some happiness (if that is at all possible) again.
In February, Roy, the labrador joint my animal family of horses; Mona Lisa, Monkey and Maybe, cat; Phantom and two chickens.
Life does not go on but the animals give me pupose; someone needs to look after Phantom, who was so clearly Tim’s cat that for weeks after he died she would not speak to me. She is good friends with Roy now and both do get up to a lot of mischievous behaviour.
I am also surrounded by an amazing team of drivers and we have some exiting plans for Starfish Taxis, a bunch of really good friends and not to forget my yoga community!
Despite the silence on this website I have had the honour of touring Scotland with a number of amazing guests – some of which had to endure my crying (apologies!) but that only shows the love I have for Tim and all of you have been so very kind!
Onwards and upwards (family motto of the Lorimers)
