active vs passive

I read an article this week about active and passive forces. Basically there are different forces within us making us take action or not. The thing is, most of us are not aware of or question why we do what we do, which could lead us to take the wrong action or to take no […]

This week’s creative constipation

For years I have been pulled towards an idea for a new project. Every time the idea has popped up in my head I have felt this strong need to tell it, and every time I’ve walked right into a wall unable to find a way through the story. This week I found out why, […]

Should vs Must

I watched an interview with Elle Luna by Chase Jarvis on YouTube this week (watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDDw3ZaeU-s). I had never before heard about Elle, but was totally mesmerized by her appearance. There was something about her that rang so true. She was truly present. She talked about the difference between should and must. The quote […]

Taking that leap of faith

A week ago I launched my first ever podcast ‘Framgångar och Motgångar’ (‘Success and Setbacks’). What a ride! I started the podcast for two reasons: First I have a dream and need to open up the industry and to start to talk about how things really are in order to shine a light on how we can […]

The simplest question

This week I have had a little assignment. It was just a simple question, but it turned out to be more powerful than I first thought. How can I love what I have a little more? I took a look at different areas in my life, and asked that one question. It’s the simplest little question. Even […]

As if

What if I would tell you that you actually can be, and do anything in the world? What would you do? Who would you choose to be? This past week I’ve had so many small shift of perception happening. I have started to work with a coach that I’m sure will get me to where […]

A week’s lessons

This week I have spent some time thinking about what the daily situations, actions, and stories might be here to tell me on a deeper level. Or at least what I should get from what happens. For some reason I felt like sharing them. Monday I was tired, and it was the first day back at […]

Make mistakes!

This Sunday I’m quoting Neil Gaiman and his ever so brilliant post. “I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and […]

Reflection

It was my birthday this week, and I love to spend this time of year in stillness reflecting on the year passed, and to simmer in what I want for the next. I have come to think that how I spend my birthday is the way I live my life. I have became so much better […]

Forgot the bead

At 8.30 pm on Wednesday evening I saw my jar of beads, and I remembered I had forgotten the bead practice in the morning. I opened the jar, took out the bead, dropped it in the other jar. The symbolism hit me. I had forgotten the bead, and I had forgotten to live with intention. […]
