Things I have learned this week(end): Resurrection miracles do happen Sometimes they are electronic Always do backups Do not bring beverages into the computer room Especially not orange juice Actual things to do if /when calamity does strike: Remove the power first Rice is not always the way Patience, and swiftness, is key Disassemble, clean… Read More An Easter Resurrection

Lately, I’ve been enjoying silence. Perhaps it’s a compensation for the louder world outside. Or even the one inside. Seeking balance. I’ve noticed it while cleaning our floors yesterday. No music, no podcast, no background-filling. And I didn’t miss it, for a change. It’s different. Just my thoughts, a few traffic sounds from further away,… Read More Taking Care

Feels like a great day to take a moment to contemplate.. love. Who and what do we love? Why? What (and whom) in this life do we feel grateful for? How can we share this? How can we expand it? What can we do to make this world, and all the beings in it –… Read More Love

Germination is the process by which an organism grows, from a seed or similar structure. I’ve learned that creative ideas often take time to develop. It doesn’t need to be ‘active time’, even. The creational process does a lot of it’s work in the background. If I want to make something, I write it down.… Read More Germination

Long time no post. So let’s do dis.. A reboot. Without the daily bloggings, which have been lagging the past few months, I‘m feeling kind of incomplete. Thoughts, feelings and experiences are starting to fade, unprocessed. And.. I miss the writing. I’ll be re-picking up the daily posts, and hopping back into the archives to… Read More Rebootski

Are there times where you, looking back, learned that changes you initially resisted turned out to be just what was needed to create room for something.. important? Where goodbyes of some sort had unseen, but could-be-turned-into positive consequences? Chaos often clears the way for opportunity. Go with it. Stay on the lookout for previously unknown… Read More Opportunity

Sooo.. what happens if you mix a Thai-inspired pumpkin soup recipe with ‘I’m feeling a bit under the weather’, ‘there’s no pumpkin in the house’ and ‘I think I might have bought entirely too much garlic’? That’s right. Epic Anti-Vampire Garlic Soup. Wards off bloodthirsty demons, and at the same time helps your immune system… Read More Epic Garlic Soup

It gets better. Something good to remember – especially for things that ‘take their time’. I love listening to podcasts. Usually I take the time to tune in on my way to/from ballet class, or while I’m doing administration work and chores at home. Even when the topics are not really dance related, they often… Read More It gets Better

I get a special sense of peace when cleaning/clearing a space, be it for practice or for living. I might procrastinate things at times, but once I start ‘clearing the decks’, something always shifts. Ideas, motivation and creativity start flowing more freely. Conversely, I find it strange to begin something new when the old is… Read More Pure Thoughts

This is my whiteboard for September. For now. After a summer filled with plans, meetings, ideas, training, practice, writing, workouts, learning, classes, preparations, events and activities.. I feel it’s time for a bit of space.   Just time.   Just space.   I have promised myself to keep this board empty until I return. Let‘s… Read More A Clean Slate
