About Lisanne.

I’m a writer, active blogger, and avid reader. I speak three languages, and publish the Tiny Bits Newsletter—a biweekly email where I share 10 handpicked, meaningful things worth your time. Whether it is a thought-provoking quote, an answer to a reader’s question, a handwritten book review, a project I’m working on, and more. The purpose is to offer wisdom that can be absorbed in just 3 minutes, providing you a brief moment of calm reflection into your day.

But there’s more to this platform than my newsletter. I’ve been writing at Lisanneswart.com since the beginning of 2021, as a way to share my favorite books beyond the circle of my friends and family. Since then, the bookshelf has grown to include more than 30 thought-provoking book recommendations, reaching more than 120.000 people every year. This list of handpicked books is here for you to explore, enjoy, and to spark a meaningful conversation.

I also write you a letter every week. They’re personal, a little meandering, sometimes messy—but always honest. Everything related to charity, books, and more. If you’re curious, you can start by opening what I’ve been writing about lately. 👉 Open a letter​.

Most recently, I started the Swart Foundation—a content-driven initiative devoted to help children live safe, healthy, and fulfilled lives. Through stories, interviews, and email campaigns, we aim to open up honest and constructive conversations around the challenges and opportunities children face today.

At its heart, this blog is my journal—a place to explore what matters, document what I’m reading and learning, and invite others into the dialogue. I hope it inspires you to slow down, think deeply, and stay curious. Thanks for being here.
