The love for animals

I´ve been not feeling good today.  I have a lot of joint pain since I have reumatoid arthritis since 2006. 
The pain started in 2006 first in my feet, I had difficulties to walk, went to the doctor said I needed shoes insoles to get better. I got them but I did not get better, I got worse, every step was a torture and I had to walk, I had to work and I was alone taking care of my children, so I had no one to lean on.

So, after a few months I started to get joint pain, everywhere, I had difficulty to move or putting on a t-shirt, I could not wash my hair, my mom had to do it. I had to stay at home, I was constantly tired and wanted to sleep. Nothing helped! Since I did not have a diagnosis I did not know what I should take to feel better, only pain killers.

So on the 19th of december 2006 I got to go to Karoliska sjukhuset in Stockholm and they diagnosed it as reumatoid arthritis. 
It was a relief that I knew what it was and that I could get better but I had to start taking a lot of medicin asap.
I started with a big dose of cortison and cortison injections directly in the joint. I can not say that it is the most nicest pain in the world but it helped, I started getting better and 4 months after that I started working again half time and later on full time again. 
Reumatiod arthritis has become my friend, I accept that I have the dis-ease but it is not my person. 
Spiritually I have discovered that if I´m feeling down my joint pain starts again. It´s linked to my emotional state and it never fails.

Ever since I had the RA-energies upon me two weeks ago I have been feeling down and with a lot of pain in the stomacharea: not strange because feeling go throught the gut. 
Lately I have been expiriencing attacts of crying when I see what is been done to animals. I almost can feel their anxiety, their pain, their fear, everything! It´s awful and there is nothing I can do about that. 
I know a lot of people don´t agree with what I say, their argument is always why I don´t react like that when it comes to people.
I do react the same and every living being has a value to me, no exeptions, but animals are living souls and we treat them so bad and see them as only food or how to make a buck or two because of their skin or just for the hunt.

Cruelty to animals is fundamental to how we treat ourselfs, is this the way we treat ourselfs, with no respect for human or animal lives? 
How we treat them is our mirror of how we treat us, and I really do not like what I see. That is why I support WSPA, APCA, Hundhjälpen, and many more, I sign petitions and I help economically aswell. I get so emotional and really feel a pain inside and in my heart the sorrow just twists it and it´s hard to breath. 

I really hope that we start treating animals with respect and that we co-exist with them. I do not even kill a spider, it´s taken outside without harm. I try not to eat as much meat, I try to eat more vegetables but it´s sometimes hard when your kids want Mc Donalds and so on. 
We do not eat Mc Donalds anymore in this household, so there are a lot of things you can do with no effort really. I drank Fanta the other day, I drink very seldom soda and I did not like it. No more Fanta for us!!!

Start with small things and I know that someday we will have a society that respects all living things and I really look forward to be a part of that world. Today is a good day to start! 

Love to you all!

Namaste!

I´m a vegetarian

I decided a couple of months ago to become a vegetarian. It is something I have thought about a long time but have never been able to commit to stop eating meat. I like meat, but since my daughter and I saw a animal transport in Spain and she saw inside the truck she saw pigs on their way to slaughter, she saw them in the heat, standing all together and being driven to the slaughterhouse. It was too much for her, she started crying and she said right there, that she would not eat meat anymore. We ate our last hamsandwich on our trip through Spain, France and Italy. We came home and we have started to eat only vegetarian food and I have not eaten any meat since the 15 of august and I really don´t miss meat at all. I feel that it is the right decision to stop eating meat and I really think that I´m doing something for myself and for the animals and for the enviroment. There is nothing more provocative than telling people that you are a vegetarian, they almost hate you and think t...

Inspired

Okay, I feel inspired (filled with spririt) to begin my writing. I´m not orignally from Sweden. I come from far away where people still have the warmth and they are interested to get to know you. My father was an officer (pilot) and my mom was a stay at home mom. My brother and I are close even though not so long ago we had a quarrel and we didn´t talk to each other for almost a year, but we have talked about it and today we are good. Blood is thicker than water.  When I think back to the time I was a little girl I have always talked to God, even though my parents are not religious at all. They did not even baptise us when we were children. They said then, that we had to decide for ourselfs if we wanted to be baptised when we are grown ups. I was baptised together with my daughter when she was 10 months old. I did it from my own free will. I prayed as a young child but I felt unconfortable because since my parents were not religious at all it seemed strange to pray because I had ...

The german language

I love the german language!  Yes! It´s true. German sounds so beautiful and well spoken it´s like music to my ears.  I grew up in Germany, in 1974 I arrived with my mom and brother to Berlin. Our father was there already and waited for us. It was wonderful to be in a new country but at the same time kind of scary. We did not know where we were going or were we would sleep but that was no problem in the end.  The first word I learned in german was "Aufwiedersehen". It was the East German ambassador in my country that taught me that word. I could not have known than that I would study "Germanistik" later on as an adult.  Germanistik is the sience of the german language and literature. When I began my studies in Berlin in 1988 I had to "unlearn" the dialect I had when I began my studies. My phonetics teacher said that since I would be studing Germanistik I had to learn to speak what it´s called "Hochdeutsch". Hochdeutsch is like Oxford Engl...
