Another year has passed. I got to have another year. 30 years in recovery. Today. A dear friend asked me how I was celebrating this today. And I will tell you. I´ve spent the day with the most important person in my life, someone I love and respect a lot; Me. Doing things I enjoyContinue reading “Recovery one day at a time”

Wholehearted with Requirements
As per usual, my writing here happens when the inspiration, creativity and a productive balance between an ideal head- and heart space happens. This year as a whole, so far, has been quite different than many many of the years before. Different in the sense that I came to a point where I really feltContinue reading “Wholehearted with Requirements”
Paint by numbers – and Life
Some years back, I got an idea to do something for the first time. I love firsts! They don´t happen often enough and yet I am open and curious (and always have space for improvement there) so I welcome them. This particular idea I have no clue where it came from, so I call itContinue reading “Paint by numbers – and Life”
Sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better.
My father died totally unexpectedly when I was 20. That day, I learned not to take Life for granted, that we are here on borrowed time. This runs deep in me. It has paved my way to be grateful for every day I have, and for so much that every day entails. It has madeContinue reading “Sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better.”

Closing one door – opening another…

I usually do this around mid September, as that’s when I celebrate my years in myContinue reading “Closing one door – opening another…”
A gift to yourself – because you are so worth it!
Having worked as a cbt clinician for a couple of decades, specialising in addiction, I have followed the work of Bitten Jonsson since her first book came out. What has become clear to me over the years is that the correlation between physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health is not only strong but intertwined, andContinue reading “A gift to yourself – because you are so worth it!”
My Mother wrote me a letter
In March this year, it´s been exactly 30 years since I lost my mother to cancer. Her final 6 weeks, I moved in with her and did my very best (which sometimes exceeded my own “truths” of what I thought I was able to) to care for her and make her comfortable. I have alwaysContinue reading “My Mother wrote me a letter”
Recovery day 2022
Another year has passed. I got to have another year. I´ve been soul searching all day for what to write in this post that marks my 29 year celebration of my personal journey of recovery.

Moving on
Malta….. Our relationship started 16 years ago, I came for a 2 week holiday, to rest and get some new perspectives. Mainly about myself. I got sun kissed, soaked up plenty of vitamins sea. Was mesmerized by the colours of the sea; deep blue, light blue and emerald. The palm trees draped with twinkle lights.Continue reading “Moving on”
