9 to 5

New job. Four days a week, at a eatery. Cooking, waiting, cleaning, dishes, aaaaaahh!

It is a typical sagittarius thing - we totally deal with a routine job, we'll do ANYTHING, as long as it finances our next great idea, in my case establishing a small travel company and arrange trips to Egypt.

Everything in the Land of The Sun is ready. What takes time, and costs money, is the paperwork in Norway. And - still a sagittarius girl - I hate that! It feels like restriction and control. But I will do what I have to.

Don't get me wrong, I like my job. It is a social thing. The thing one learn most from, is other people, and that means ALL people, i don't just talk about teachers, parents, not just the old ones, the well educated or successful. But from children, the sick, the housewives, drug-addicts, anyone.

When you regard anyone life presents for you as an opportunity to learn, you will evolve very fast as a human being. You will become very compassionate, as you know how to identify with anyone and understand their situation.

There are all kinds of people and professions represented among the readers of my blogs. Some of them study, others work, some stay at home. Remember that whatever you do you are useful and unique. Remember that to me you are a teacher. And remember to stay "Always Open", so you don't miss out on the opportunities life presents for you.

Have a nice day all of you!

Time Travel

It has been a dream for human beings "through all times"... How can we travel in time?

But I wonder... How can we NOT?

Because we have left the harbour and are sailing down the stream of time, second by second... I would not wish to travel faster at all.

I study the views on the banks of the world as I float by. I wawe and smile to others and invite some of them on board. We enjoy each others company. Some stay and others go.

Sometimes the stream rocks the boat in a soothing and comforting way. Sometimes we have to hold on for life or row to clear from rocks or banks.

But we move. We travel in time. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

The blessings of being human...

Dare to be Creative - Dare to live!

Unfortunately this world is not a safe place, though for some more than others. For a lot of people the normal life is about trying to get enough food, trying to keep warm or avoid getting caught, or getting killed.

Where I live it is not like this. Here peoples' problems are about being fat, not being loved and what they are going to watch on tv next week. Shallow, isn't it?

Well we can't help it. We were born into a rich family in a rich society, and to learn, we have to travel, in one way or another. If you can't jump on an airplane, there are other ways.

Get inspired. Use your senses. Explore. Read. Listen. . . .

Feel.

And then express your feelings. Create. Then you take your life back. Just spending time walking back and forth between the TV and the refrigerator? I am very sorry, that is not living. That is just surviving.

Oneness...

Have you ever heard the greeting "Namasté" ?

It is about oneness. It is translated into something like:

"I honour the light in me. I see the light in you. We are one."

It is a philosophy filled with beauty. Not only are we connected to each other, but we are one. Be one with your partner, your family, your friends. Be one with your colleagues, your neighbours, your fellow bloggers.

What does this mean? It means respect. It means respect for all people, and the purpose that they fill. It means recognition. Which aspect of you does your annoying mother-in-law represent? Your need for control? Recognise it and release it.

Oneness also means you ARE nature, you are the animals, you are history, you are spirit, you are soul, you are the world! "You are.... you ARE!"

Oneness means a lifetime of peace. Are you ready for it?
