“I must learn to be content with being happier than I deserve.” – Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Yesterday evening I went out with my eldest daughter Anouk to the Theatre Betty Nansen , to watch an old play Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, but made as a modern play, where its acting, modern music, ballet, dance, and beautiful beautiful scenography, stagelight and subtle stage terms. It was both amusing and at the same time touching. We the audience applauded them big time afterwards.

Kalaallisuut

My two girls Anouk and Milla as smaller children enjoying each other and life

Kalaallisuut = the traditional greenlandic national costume.

In some months we have celebration time in our family and are now planning the celebration cloth. For big occassions like ending schools (they are 16 and 20years old) we of course wear our national greenlandic costumes, although we are in Denmark now, and that it will be very very warm to wear them end june. It will be so special and we will have some pictures at stairs made so the girls are having images from different periods of their lifes. Below from different life events!

Their new school chapters will be university for my eldest daughter and a year long youth folk school “folke højskole” next to the Wadden Sea in West Denmark (a danish school form) for my youngest daughter.

Some of the best moments of my present life

I have kept all the moments with my lovely girls in my heart…

SOMETIMES….we need to keep the promises we made to ourselves

And then it happens…One day you wake up and you’re in this place, in this place where everything feels right. Surrounded by farewell cards, flowers and gifts from colleagues, kleenex because of a little extra farewell flu gift from work, lots of coffee, silence and sleeping children and cat. Sunny and warm easter weather. My heart at peace, calm and feeling aligned with my soul. Being my own boss again, following my own inner voice, heading towards a journey where I only see a few steps in front of me. Starting over has happened several times and its like what I did yesterday, last week, last month and last year doesnt define me. Feeling grateful for the opportunity to learn and share my own wisdom. There is no life B, this is me giving myself a life A chance, and I know failing is part of the journey, but I also know catching my own dreams is so fulfilling. It will be fast, slow and soft living.

Wednesday late evening we went out, me and my girls and celebrated my new life with so much laughter with an icelandic comedian Ari Eldjárn (you can watch him on Netflix, “Pardon my icelandic”). I love people who makes me laugh, I love a lot in life, but laughter is one of the best things in a person, its like turning happy ON. And laughter is part of this new journey, doing what makes me happy.

Offering energyhealing, mediumship, psychic and spiritual assessment sessions will be part of my journey, read more on my page inualife.com, but I will also pursue more writing and use my creative background in different projects I have been dreaming about for years. I look forward to share more of myself and my becoming journey.

Joy comes to us in moments

Georg Riedel on bas with Jonas Östholm on piano

One of my favourite jazzmusicians czech born swede Georg Riedel has just passed away. He has filled my life with so much joy, inspiration, amusement, soothing, surprises and a feeling of his music helped me to recognize myself. He is the master of music from the soul.

the words inside…

Some days ago I was decluttering some things at home and found a little poem, which was written to me by canadian poet Daiva Friedmann.

In the early summer of 2023 I went out for a long walk in Copenhagen with my eldest daughter, Anouk, we went a lot of different places, mostly in my old neighbour Nørrebro, where I lived for many years.

At the café in Istedgade Vesterbro where we had some cold drinks at the desk: “Buy a poem & have one of our sweet editors reading it out loud”

After visiting several different places we went to the neighbourhood Nørrebro and had a walk at one of the most famous cemeteries in Denmark, “Assistens Kirkegården” in Copenhagen, founded the year of 1760. The cemetery is still in use, so everybody are aware of respecting grieving people but this place is also a place locals are using for walks, sunbathing and so much more. When I lived at Nørrebro I often used the cemetery as a leisure place, just 2 min from my apartment.

Famous danish poet Dan Turell and pens as a tribute from guest’ and fans visiting his grave

We passed by a young woman at a tiny little desk with an oldschool typingmaschine. Bebause we were talking me and my daughter we just passed by the woman and her desk, so it actually took some backwards steps to realize what she offered. She offered A written personal poem made in the present moment and you could give her a few words for inspiration or just let her write freely. What an opportunity.

It was so lovely standing there in the warm summersun, enjoying my company of my lovely daughter, spontaneous recieving a poem, being very inspired and very touched. I felt myself and my own creativity through her work.

When my girls were much younger (small children) and me longing for expressing myself creatively while being a fulltime single mother I had to find a way to do something without leaving home. So I wrote poetry in the evening, in danish, the poetry was a door to my own creativity. Several of them were published, and I was recommended to write more poems and create a book by a well known publisher and editor.

Finding the above poem some days ago, inspired me once again to reconsider the poetry part of myself. Recently have I been reconnecting with my own creation of poetry and starting up again with new rough drafts of text pieces of new poetry. Perhaps I will share them here one day.

Oceanlove

So still and quiet, just by watching it and being close to it is healing and helping me to release stress, negative thoughts and to stay present in this moment. There is still some months to go before I can slip myself in to it, but yesterdays sun and temperatures gave a little springmessage. I love the feeling the ocean creates inside, limitlessness and expansion of space.
