“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.

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.

Balanced education

Today we paid a visit to the new school of my youngest daughter – a wonderful Waldorf/Rudolf Steiner school in Aarhus. The school was the reason we located us where we did in Denmark – and we were thrilled by our choice after todays meeting.

This school has a balanced education between body/mind/soul or movement/intellectual and creative lessons. As a creative it felt good to experience this balance – 1/3 of each – because that gives a more harmony in dailylife.

I wish it was me who was going to start at the school 😊 besides its beautiful old buildings, the school is having a big forrest in the backyard where the children can go out and play and have lessons, and the ocean in front of the school – which of course is also integrated in the lessons.

No Ipads – a lot of handwriting and drawing/painting your schoolwork…Everymorning the whole school sing together, 6years old – 20 years old pupils. In between the school buildings there is a kindergarten.

To be continued…just first impression.

Todays colourdose

At Aros at lovely art museum in the middle of Aarhus…I was so lucky to be gifted a years membership with an extra person to this lovely and colourful museum…

Today was the first time of many visits and I really enjoyed it with my girls and some good old friends which came in from Copenhagen to visit us for some days.

Days at museums – exploring this new place – this new city means a lot of walks – today more than 11km/ 7 miles and 15 floors – yesterday was more or less the same…besides I need to continue projects from Greenland I think a couple of days at the beach would be good for us the voming days…

Fresh air + muscle use + meetings

That is what a snowfestival is filled with…the girls and I just went by the harbour to see what the participants have been working with the last two days…it made me remember all the 3 times I have been participating myself, looooong time ago in the 90ties…working with a 3x3x3 meter big snowcube is so wonderful, filled with possibilities! A little part of me wanted to jump in and create a sculpture, but right now its fine to sit in my sofa and do sbsolutely nothing after weeks of being busy! Another time…by the way, they have had sbsolutely wonderful weather, so much sunshine the last two days, during my Brené Brown Dare To Lead workshop..
