Don´t take it personally if someone has said something about you. it says more about them!

I ´m active in the union, I hold a place on the board and I love the conversations and the things that involve us as workers against our employer. Even if our employer is the state of Sweden you would think that everything is cool and no problem. No, no, no. Quite the opposite. The union has to struggle for every penny when it´s time to raise our salaries. Today we had a meeting about our litte group where I work. We´ve had these meetings since december 2013 and we had our last one today and we talked about what we think about things. It was a constructive meeting but one of the persons wanted to make a statement and took me as an example. She said that she told me to work because we had one customer and I did not pay attention. I looked at her not really understanding what she was talking about and I said nothing. I said nothing because I felt I had nothing to say and the only thing that went trough my mind when she was talking was " that is her opinion" "let her ha...

the goodness

Here in Sweden is a debate about what public service can send or not, or rather what they are not sending because it´s election time and the message, in this case a documentary, is showing just one side of the story.

Personally I think that our society is not going to survive, we will have to do something about it, there is much at stake here.  I believe in ...

Sing and let your voice be heard!

Home again after having sung the gospel for almost 3 hours. I thought before I went back to singing that I will let my voice be heard and it is so calming to know that I´ve cleared my throatchakra. I feel a lot lighter and more confident that I have a voice that can be heard and that I can hear myself aswell. I knew nobody at the theater but I never felt alone, I talked to one or two but I did not had the need of talking to anyone. It felt so good because before I would feel so terribly alone if I was at  such an event all by myself, but I was not alone. I had me. It was so touching to feel that emotion of not being alone. Perhaps I have finally become friends with myself.  I´m proud of me. At the concert there are so many different personalities and it´s interesting how they act and react to each other.  Swedish people have sometimes a fear of someone talking to them but when you go on talking and they get interested in what you have to say than they can talk for a...
