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.
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.
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.
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.
Outdoor Art
Todays energygiver with family at The Artmuseum Ordrupgaard, we enjoyed the outside art in the park with a lot of mud and sunshine.
Happy birthday and Valentine’s day
Today my youngest daughter, Milla Misou became 16 years old, she is such a lovely human, feminist, animalrescuer and -lover, such a funny girl with a huge sense of humour and is insanely cool. The world will lighten up by her presence.
We went out to celebrate her with a lovely dinner at a japanese restaurant of her own choice, Sticks and Sushi in Copenhagen. Omg we had so much food, that we couldn’t eat all of it, and went home with a big doggybag.
Delicious food make room for new energy, its like being aligned with your own senses and joy and empowering yourself, I really love being excited by new food experiences.
Saturday morning my girls and I are going to see “The Boy and The Heron“ by Hayao Miyazaki. It is supposed to be his masterpiece which raise my expectations even more. Some of you have probably already seen it, I hope you liked it.
Birthdaycelebration, familytime, nice dinner, flowers and beauty all todays energy givers and sacred.
A fool with some good karma
This blog actually started in 2011 as my little freetime in a very busy dailylife as a fulltime singlemother, with fulltime work and a lot of designprojects in my own company next to my work, which was very busy. My blog Aviajaspace as the name say was my space and time in the evening, after I had put my small children to sleep, a time where I could inspire myself and others with my interest’ without leaving home, an hour or two where I were connecting with parts I missed in my life and myself. It was so helpful and I have really enjoyed all those hours of writing.
What were my interest’ in the start?
Creativity, design, jazzmusic, writing poetry, colors, food and cooking, Greenland (part of my culture), art, meditation, needlework, nature, photos and probably other things I have forgotten about since I have changed over the years and my interest’ have changed or should I say deepened. Because a lot of the interest’ mentioned above are still the same, some are just more prominent in my life. If you have asked me 13 years ago what I would spend my time with in 2024, I don’t think I would have answered taking another round with being my own boss without safety net, facing a lot of fear and establishing courage to create my third career in my life (my first career was within tourism, second design and now being a spiritual advisor).
The past four years after we moved to Denmark from Greenland have been a very transformative period, going from a very busy life as a professional interiordesigner, living in a lovely house with a stunning view over the ocean, being blessed with highend clients within the corporate world, earning a good amount of money and in many ways being very succesful.
I was supposed to be where I was those years, in my favourite country, Greenland, with my favourite people, my children and creating a lot of beautiful good design, through a period of time where me and my family needed stability and was rooted one place. But I am a nomad of heart or just not able to settle one place.
I remember the change, the pull towards wanting to change my world, trying something new, without not really knowing my new path. And I know myself, when that pull starts, its like a rolling snowball at the top of the hill, growing bigger and moving faster, until I have to take action on it or life will create circumstances that push me to change my world. This time I took action.
One night November 2018 where I couldnt sleep I re-read a book by the healer Alberto Villoldo, I dont even remember the title, I just knew that I had to check him out. At his homepage I saw he had a month long residential program in California starting February 2018, and it felt so right for me, that I in that moment decided to manifest the conditions for me to participate the programme. (manifesting enough money for the very expensive program, travels for me and my family, living expences for 3 months where I was not working, nearly 5 weeks of programme, 4 weeks of holiday with my children and another month where I was back and working to earn money, and then of course finding someone who would live with my children for a short amount of time before they were travelling themselves to different destinations and eventually meeting up with me in Denmark).
What a logistic, what a manifestation, nevertheless I was pretty consistent in my thought about it becoming my reality. And a couple of weeks after this decision I recieved some business calls with two HUGE designprojects which had to be done immediately, which meant I could raise the cost’ and the money were covering those 3 months ahead.
That was the start of my big transformational period, ending my design career, moving country, starting a new career as a spiritual advisor and of course helping my two girls to integrate themselves in another culture in some important years being teenagers.
Looking back at the past four years, I must admit Im glad I didnt know what was laying ahead, then I am pretty sure I havent thrown myself and my girls on our turbulent quest.
Four years of rocky roads, a lot of moving, change of direction, so little money, Covid time (which we all know was about), feeling soooo lost, digging deep and trying to understand that change of identity is a big loss of yourself for a period of time before you find a new identity or are able to accept and live with different circumstances you havent imagined.
The four years has also been a course in a non-linear journey, letting go of all I have know and how to percieve life, in listening to my inner voice, meeting new people and creating a new network out in the big world, walking new spiritual pathways, besides my healing, adding psychic, mediumship and spiritual assessment to my services.
Trust have been a big part of my journey and probably the most difficult one for me because I have tried to view my life from the old way of thinking and living. I have felt stepping backwards more than forward, rollercoaster after rollercoaster of expansion and contraction, trust and fears at once, anchoring my soul my light and allowing it more and more next to so many shadows and old stuff rising.
So besides feeling low and lost in many periods, it has been and is actually a steady stream of my soul nudging me towards my new direction and a lot of unknown and uncertainty. The part where you have to lean more and more in to uncertainty and meanwhile becoming yourself has for me been a very exciting journey, much needed and a huge lesson in surrendering.
In 7 weeks Im having a blank sheet in front of me, no outside boss, no income, a lot of ideas and intentions about what to create and start and at the same time some inner work letting go of control, trusting that my soul have helped me to this moment.
In love with our latest four weeks
So much to appreciate, the above, nice start at the new schools, feeding a wild kitten, designing a lovely interiorproject, dinners with family, friends coming over to sleep, kind helpful neighbours, a lot of walks….mealprepping, my youngest daughter started working in a stable with 8 horses and helping with one of them, still having 2 courses, one with tarot and the other one my yearlong mediumshipcourse, started having clients at home, so many stars and darkness here in the nights, beautiful mist in the mornings…so much to be thankful for.
Days in may
Rain and more rain, sun in between, long hair cut off, sweet happy big daughter shining at her school, withering tulips in the evening light, reading so many books, one with Ramana Maharshi, a lot of meditation, does anyone want some of our tomatoplants, big decisions taken about life another move, green everywhere, some are travelling above us, first berries, berries to come in the garden, started my yearlong mediumship programme with Mavis Pittilla and her team, so much inner work, soft and vulnerable, simple for the moment….
Happiness, peace, love and sunshine
I love the way the children play at the Waldorfschool and have access to tools, wood, stones, all kinds of things. Their dailylife reminds me of my childhood in the 70’ties…I would love to write more – but I not today…perhaps tomorrow evening while I sit in the train towards Copenhagen.
Food Simplicity
I always loved food, taste new things, experiment, create recipies, I can taste the ingredients in my head, and lately have I been doing a lot of food tv at my Inualife page. Not that I intend to become a chef, more just sharing all the love for new favourite recipies, tastes and the beauty of the food.
This morning my daughter Anouk made a lovely green smoothie, which she makes every morning at her Højskole/kind of bording school, this is not a sweet smoothie, but a very lovely green smoothie, today topped with my homemade granola. The smoothie is made of spinach, celery, cucumber, lemon, ginger and grinded flaxseeds.
