In my post of february 14th, I sketched some wishes for my life’s development… it is such a pleasure to read back now, and know, I have received all and more! Staying true to my intentions, I shall detail the hows and whats in my emerging Spellfinder blog…
Just mentioning it here to express my gratitude at [...]

A dear, wise woman has died. My last “grandmother” – mother of my mom’s partner. Today we bury her.
Tante Hans – always cheerful, wise, honest. Compassionate. Never a complaint – yet she stood her ground.
I am grateful to have known her, grateful she had such a swift departure. I am inspired by the way she [...]

It seems I keep signing off here… but honestly, I have been proliferating blogs at a disturbing level, dear reader. Since september 2008, when I got back in the blogging game, I have created and been posting on and off at around seven blogs.
However rewarding, and how I am tempted to keep it up, splitting [...]

The tent is so small, I want to stretch my arms, rest them under my head, but the coffin shape doesnt allow it. I push the cloth, feeling dimished. Why didn’t we rent a room in the hotel, where we could have normal beds, to stretch ourselves in all we like? We walk from the [...]

It has been almost a month now when my dad suffered his brain stroke – january 6th, day of the Epiphany.
So, is the epiphany that we all need some resetting?
I had a vivid summary repetition of four childhood dreams. Dreams that came to me repeatedly at the age of 8.

I am taking a blogging break until february 14th – when I shall return with love.
I need some time to continue my morph – break out of my online cocoon, put more of the new me out in the real world. Try ways to show my friends, family and my new colleagues (that I still [...]

The power of thought is the power of creation.
Like cold air and the exact conditions, that create a snow crystal out of a water drop.
It is the Namaste light that shines in my eyes, and in yours, too (thank you Nick for reminding us).
I call upon my own powers of creation, as I invite you to call [...]

Yesterday around noon my brother called me. My dad had a brain stroke (his 3rd one) yesterday night. He is in hospital and lost his speech.
My brother and me went to visit in the evening, he was strangely chipper, trying to crack jokes without words. Trying to cheer us up, I guess. But also sad [...]

The power of selection, the power of choice, that is real.
I am not so sure about the power of words, thought, opinions. Words – when spoken or otherwise made public, yes. So it is not in thinking them, but in expressing them where power lies. Sharing. What we join in here.
But thinking, judging, forming opinions [...]

“Some light reading for my brother – check”, is what Xander thought when he grabbed the Nick Hornby novel from the table at the Viennese Barnes and Nobles. “Slow temperature meat cooking”- sis in law likes innovative cooking, right? Check. Why his wife always complained about the difficulty of giftgiving, he marvelled. Nice price, too [...]
