Fleetwood Mac`s song ‘Little lies’ …bold and cold, popped up in my head the other day. Sometimes we use a little lie to escape a reality or a bad feeling. These kinds of lies are about creating false realities. Often used to make us feel better - or to avoid hurting others, especially our loved …
When walking out of a meeting this afternoon, I was inhaling. Deep ... You know, the inhales that make you feel ‘loaded’ ... I smiled as I automatically moved my eyes up towards the sky. A habit of mine ... Oh’my ... What a beautiful sight ... Interestingly enough, what was sent to me …
Why am I feeling sad? This easter has been special. Things change ... In the mountains we had warm degrees like you would not believe. Back home the garden smiled at us as if was late May. You and I change too. The beautiful elderly in our lives are getting older ... said with a …

I krig spiller alle på lag mot et mål. Som hovedbilde og symbol for mitt digitale fristed har jeg valgt elefanten. Ja, igjen med et smil. …
Norway and the world lost a great man yesterday. In a world where greatness is increasingly lacking, Thorvald Stoltenberg stands out as an icon. Politician, family-man, peace broker, ambassador and much more. He will be missed and remembered by the world for his relentless peace brokering efforts in the Middle East and the Balkans. By …
