90 seconds

90 seconds...that's what it takes for the mind to decide if we follow an impulse or not. With impulse I mean follow our intuition to say something or do something, follow an urge, the heart's need, the core's craving... After 90 seconds fear comes into the picture and complicates things...

90 seconds... to say hello to a stranger, let people who do something good know you appreciate it, 90 seconds to go on that gut feeling...

90 seconds to rock

What is so cool about Norway?

What is so cool about Norway...What makes it so energizing to live here? This is what makes it for me. First of all : fresh air to breathe...Secondly : the mountains, the sea shore, the fjords.
The nature here is amazing: adventurous and healing. Did you ever notice how half an hour out in nature "solves everything" ?

What I also like, is the finishing of work at 4pm. Acctually I do see traffic jam sometimes already at 3.30...True , people do get up quite early, but hey, if you have some extra hours in the afternoon....great!!!! Here you can even see the boss going at 4 to pick up his/her child at nursery. I already experience some better quality of life even after only 2 months since our reptariation from London. Being able to eat dinner together as a family is one. Not having to postpone things to the weekend but have some spare hours in the afternoon is already great.
And this is from a lady who LOVES London...but for other reasons.

Before leaving I had a feeling that going back to Scandinavia with my little family was the right thing to do...after many-oh-many discussions on what to do....And coming over and still feeling that this was really the right thing feels even better. We based the decision on our values. The values of nature, freedom and good health. It was not based on the value of adventure...but hey, adventure just jumped in...as it does in life....

What are the reasons you live where you live??? Curious tho hear your stories.

First days in Norway

At the core of things

We landed...We are in Norway now, Stavanger to be precise...YEAH !!!!! We are EXACTLY where we are "supposed" to be...Feels good breathing fresh air, playing in the sand dunes in Sola Beach, taking walks and exploring the area around lake Stokka....I realize so much that when we are true to our core things flow...I feel true to the one in me who has been craving for nature...:-)

What is in your core???

Energy shift

I assume that you know what I mean when I say that there is one chapter coming to and end and a new one is just about to start?

That is exactly where I am in my life now. And the energy shift that is taking place is very interesting to experience. We are about to make the move from London and going to settle in Norway. There is this incredible peace of mind inside me. Like this is exactly where I have to be, this is exactly where I have to go.

I was in Norway just for two days to look for a house , and it felt so RIGHT...there was the sand dunes, the surfers, the mountains, the calm, the simpleness, the fresh air, the prettiness of the city...and not to mention THE PRAWNS bought directly from the fishermen !!! :-) (I know I am a bit of romantic...AND so be it!!!! :-)

This didn't "just happen" to me , it has been planned for and decisions have been made out from my values (and of course my familiy's values ) and our dreams , what we want from life...and I am happy to see what is about to unfold....and on the way I am enjoying every step...

Where are you in life ? What is about to unfold?

Love & sunshine from inside,

GOOD morning :-)

What would be on your list if you had 5 more years left to live?

Who are the people you would like to spend time with? What would you like to have more of in your life ? What would you like to have less of? What are you happy about right here and now ? Which are the areas of flow in your life right now? Any dreams to be fullfilled that are still in the waiting room for another day...?

Every now and again it's great to remind ourselves that life is really here and NOW, enjoy it every day, celebrate it, learn, grow, laugh, have fun, dance, be with the people you love to be with, write love letters to the once you care for, let them know you think they are cool people to hang around...have champagne pick nick in the park, ....

How do you celebrate today?

Love and have a fab weekend
