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.

Small trips

Taking my bike on the train to give my old father some newly baked bread
New part of the Metro in Copenhagen in progress

Now where I can jump on my bike and bring it with me on the citytrains but also in the busses, I can go everywhere. This morning I baked some bread early early, biked together with my eldest to her work where she started at 8am, and then went on to visit my old father in City to eat breakfast with him. I love it!

Windowshopping

I love looking at windows – the way things are displayed – I dont have a huge need of buying things after years of decluttering and being more and more minimalist. But I get inspired by all the rich imagination the decorator have put in to their work.

Today I passed a local beautiful furniture store – besides a lot of nice art deco things – they had a lovely circular french lamp. And at one of the departement stores they have made a mindblowing Lego landscape, or some Lego entusiast’ have made it…

A fly on the wall

German photographer Menno Aden has shot a series of Berlin interiors from an unconventional viewpoint, looking down from the ceiling he has made a series called “Room Portraits”. In each room photo the camera has been centered at the ceiling. At first I thought the rooms were collages, but then I had a closer look and could see it was a photo of a room….the angle is lovely and made me think of isometric drawings…The spaces varies from supermarkets to private homes to classrooms and carparks…and so much more spaces…

groenlandica…

Recently I got a new friend, which I share all kinds of interest with, like design and cultures, antiques in general, art of all kinds, old paintings, food and a lot more subjects….our conversations start one place and end out a totally other place in half hours…
One evening me and one of my acquaintances was invited to a dinnerparty at his place together with some other nice people, and discovered that my new friend collect some beautiful woodfigures by the famous greenlandic hunter and wood carver Johannes Kreutzmann, and that my acquaintanty is the grandchild of the woodcarver…that was a lovely and funny “coincidence”…..
Johannes Kreutzmann started woodcarving these huge figures because all the unsual people he admired and loved went alive and then he tried to create and carve them in wood.
Another reason was he couldn’t hunt at his old days because of his sight and he started this artistic path.
The figures are so beautiful, the sizes, colours, craftsmanship and expressions…and the way my friend had arranged them made a huge impression on me…very artistic and thoughtful arranged…

 

originality of spirit ….

As a professional interior designer this magazine just speak to me in all directions, colourwise, history, styles, personality,  or as described by themselve “authoritative, relevant, lavish – and unpredictable, quality and attention to detail”…..

I love it, thats why I bring in a LOT of photos this time…
