That perfect moment will never come
Life has been quite a rollercoaster this past year. There have been lifechanging events that I'll probably be prosessing for a long time. It's the kind of huge events you usually watch other people go through, but suddenly find yourself right in the middle of in your own life. A lot of sadness and sorrow, but thankfully good things as...
A pawprint on my heart
I will always remember when we went to choose our first puppy from her breeder. We were sitting at the kitchen table having coffee and talking about the puppy, when I noticed a tattoo on the forearm of the breeder. The tattoo was a portrait of a westie. The breeder noticed me looking at her tattoo and told us that...
Towards my thirties
On Sunday I turn 29, and this birthday feels more special than the previous ones. The last year in my twenties is beginning and it feels very odd. I tried to remember where I pictured myself when I’m thirty when I was younger, but I couldn’t grasp on to any specific memory. But I’m pretty sure I thought about the...
Busy days and big dreams
I love talking about dreams, because they are something that gives so much more energy into our life. Dreams are something that drive us forward in life – they inspire, motivate and create a positive picture of the future. I wonder if you can ever dream too much? In the past six months positive dreams and hopes for the future...
A new, suprising hobby
As you may remember, we tested out a sport called jiujitsu when I was in New York. I have a habit of falling madly in love with new sports I try, wanting to start training them asap. Usually this mad love dies as quickly as it’s born. After I got back from New York, I checked out the jiujitsu opportunities...
Are you selfish enough?
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about selfishness. Being selfish is often viewed as a very negative thing. It’s not something people aspire to be. For me, I think I’ve taken it to the extreme, trying so hard to not be selfish that everyone else has gone over me on my priority list. Lately I’ve started making big decisions where...
The wonderful effect of alone time
I feel like summer went by in the blink of an eye. Suddenly it’s September and a whole new gear is shifted with all the hurries of everyday life. In a way I can’t wait for those dark autumn nights, though. And for some reason I can’t wait for the first snow to arrive. It would be lovely to feel...
Inspiring women of NYC: Milène Jardine
Everything started with a simple like on Instagram this spring. The picture was one of the first I posted about my upcoming adventure to New York. I browsed through the profile the like came from and something about it intrigued me enough to follow it. Surprisingly, I soon got a message that thanked me for the like. And before I...
Can you just let it be?
“The pressure to achieve and succeed is present in everything we do. We don’t just push ourselves to the point of breaking at work or our hobbies. The pressure to succeed has lurked its way into wellness as well. The inner anxiety and impatience we feel often surfaces as the urge to do something all the time. We have a...
What happened with getting back in shape?
In my earlier post I talked about inspiration. One thing that I definitely got an inspiration boost towards in New York was exercise. We walked around a lot every day, went biking, tried jiujitsu a couple of times and lived an all in all active lifestyle. Before my trip I had some difficulty getting back into a good exercise routine...
