Live Learn Love | Day 164 of my 2023 Journal
Thriving is a complex one. Human nature, our flaws, and vulnerabilities will emerge in any context where we unfold, hence also in this reign. We can learn a lot from studying the seven deadly sins and looking for temptation in our own lives.
The value of home-making | Day 163 of my 2023 Journal
I am very much a homemaker. This is interesting, as at the same time, I am a true nomad. I find it intriguing how I can at the one hand love to move around so frequently and at the same time enjoy the home-making processes of setting a space for social life, and establishing a kitchen with fermentation and sprouting.
The Lake and the present moment | Day 162 of my 2023 Journal
I read about the book “Your stolen focus,” which got me thinking about my focus. How I hardly ever meditate anymore, and how my mind drifts (which is a good thing) and my focus dissolves (which is a bad thing).
Swedish memories | Day 161 of my 2023 Journal
Sweden is somehow a second motherland for me, and l love being back for a while. I love how old memories mix with new experiences and how reflections on past times add to the depth of the current moment, like new strings on an instrument or different resonance.
Scandinavian Summer Nights | Day 160 of my 2023 Journal
Happiness is a state of mind, a concept hard to define and maybe even harder to achieve. There are many things we can do to enhance the chances for happiness to enter, but it is probably impossible to aim directly for it.
Sweet Sweden | Day 159 of my 2023 Journal
Ten days in Sweet Sweden is waiting. Nothing on the calendar but sunshine, forest, birdsong. Beautiful.

More is more | Day 158 of my 2023 Journal
The saying “less is more” has been around for a long time, and it makes sense to a lot of people. The minimalist movement has been big, and it is an important one. Stuff, as well as projects, accumulate, and the consumerism culture is moving at high speed.
Pushing children | Day 157 of my 2023 Journal
Adults obsess about making rules, and setting “boundaries” for children so that they understand = obey. I find it hilarious because adults don’t respect the boundaries of the children. The contrast between the respect wanted and claimed, and the respect given is enormous.
Your focus determines your reality | Day 156 of my 2023 Journal
I trust we are always at the right place at the right time. It is a matter of mindset. Of trusting the process. Of focus. As Chi-Gon (master of Obiwan) says: “Always remember: Your focus determines your reality.” This is such a deep truth. And so we welcome new adventures.
Life witnesses and sailing through the city | Day 155 of my 2023 Journal
Copenhagen is a city by the water. We sailed the canals together with my soul-friend Tamiko and her partner on a big raft. Spending a day on the water with friends in the sunshine is such a luxury. We sailed all afternoon, had meaningful conversations, feet in the water. Storm read “The old man and the Sea” on the raft, and it was perfect.
When you think you have a plan | Day 154 of my 2023 Journal
Some days are overloaded with to-do. If we lean back and trust the process, they might unfold beautifully. When we sat around the porridge and berries, the list of things to do was huge and seemed impossible.
Shakespeare and Nostalgia | Day 153 of my 2023 Journal
A friend of mine told me about a Shakespeare open-air play in one of the central parks - The Tempest, a play I had never heard about. It was funny, moving, relevant, brutal, existential, full of insanity and love (Shakespeares' favorite mix), tragedy and comedy, ribbing out the innermost vulnerable elements of human life and bending it in neon.
The narrow path versus the narrow life | Day 152 of my 2023 Journal
I sometimes tell myself this: If I do what is hard (make my way through the narrow path of doing what I find right despite all systems around me), my life becomes easy (as in I am happy and present and know I am on track in my life).

The New Copenhagen | Day 151 of my 2023 Journal
If I were ever to move back to my hometown, I would not choose the new areas. I would stick to be me. And hope to find some of the wild lives, some of the extreme kind of thinking, and some of the raw and untamed non-matrix lives I have always loved in my city.
Tivoli is my Copenhagen | Day 150 of my 2023 Journal
When my first child was a little one, I was a single mom with half an education, a tight budget, a small apartment, and a good life. We had a lot of fun! We were Copenhageners with cargo bikes and a love for the city space.
Beautiful Copenhagen and our alternative life | Day 149 of my 2023 Journal
When we let go of the ideas of how “it is supposed to be,” we are left in a peaceful place. When we learn to live with less, happy if we have “it all,” and happy if we have “some,” then life is so much easier. We are happy and so ready for this special event. A week in our favorite city - the one we come from. Beautiful Copenhagen.
The journaling challenge | Day 148 of my 2023 Journal
When I started this challenge 148 days ago, I planned to share a photo daily, along with a snippet of text related to the day before—a simple travel-journal challenge. I have loved doing it. It has grown a lot. I try to ignore the attention from social media. Well, I do not ignore the people talking to me, obviously, but I try to avoid being hungry for it. It can be hard, likes can be addictive.
