Recovery one day at a time

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.

Nobody and nothing can compete with it.Continue reading “Music is Life”

I got a letter

In a couple of months I am about to start a new (parallel) path on my professional road, leading to adding an additional competence and another set of tools for my toolbox.In order to be admitted to this program, I was asked to submit 2 letters of recommendation.This is one of them;” I was introducedContinue reading “I got a letter”

So what are you doing next?

When people come to see me, they usually have something “urgent” in some form, that they believe is their “problem”. Cause that´s usually what my clients say in our first session, in one way or another. I call this “what gets in the way of the real issue/s”. So in order for growth and progressContinue reading “So what are you doing next?”
