I Wish There Was a Pack
I wish I could discover that underneath this seemingly endless everydayness of everybody’s mind, there would be a vast, juicy wildness just waiting to be set free and spring into the world like magic firework in a dark night sky.
That there would be someone authentic and real and fiery underneath that grey skin and those dark rings under their eyes.
Read MoreWishcasting Wednesday: What I Wish to Create
In the light of my soon to be expected date with Ground Zero, I have but one wish this Wishcasting Wednesday.
I wish to create my own, vibrant and glowing business.
I wish to be able to create lovely, enriching and healing digital products, and that these will be dearly loved and appreciated by the ones who buy them (and I wish there will be many buyers!).
Read MoreMy Love for Literature – and My Summer Reading List
I’ve always been deeply in love with literature. I spent a lot of time with my nose in a book when I was younger, and as I grew up, my love for fiction took a break and was replaced with a love for subject-oriented prose instead. Now, I’m back to loving (and craving) both. Maybe that’s my inner Gypsy and my inner Victorian balancing themselves out again. 
Taking Back the Word “Should”

Creating Blank Sheets of Time and Space
The calendar is telling me that I’ve had a month off, just about. One third of my summer holiday has gone by already, and I haven’t got much to show for it. The two novels in my head are still resided only in my head. The children’s book I finished this winter is still not published, or even translated from Norwegian to English. Both my blogs are neglected, my home is a mess. In short, everything I planned to do this summer is still out in the blue somewhere.
Why?
