I read a column last week of a dutch writer who claims she is tired of discussing everything that happens in her life. She feels a lot of her friendships exist from talking, analyzing, concluding, complaining and listening to each other. To the extend that she hears herself speak the exact same sentences to different people….

Winter is almost here. We are piling wood, lighting the wood burner a bit earlier each day. After the big rains of last weekend the leaves are falling fast. The whole valley is out to restore the damage of the water, the sun is out and we take a walk.

We have been spending three days in the house because of mayor rain. It has rained for three days and three nights non stop and most of the time everything outside of our windows was white with water. Code red all through the valley, encouraged NOT to leave the house. So we made tea, read…

It has been more than a month since my last post. The last weeks in Amsterdam felt like in between time. We have been back for three weeks now. T has joined us last weekend and we can start to find a routine again as a family. But first we still need to shake off…

Tomas is off to Greenland for the shooting of his film, both the location and the shooting are quite intense. He sent these pictures today. So beautiful and sad at the same time.

The world is here on this one page. Makes me dizzy thinking of all these stories behind the numbers… http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/

I was 13 when my parents divorced and I understood that the world is not safe. Two years later I had my first panic attack and by the time I was 18 I had my first full blown burn-out. I was too afraid, too tired and too lonely to sleep, eat or breathe. My life…
