”Artists are cultural healers” the beloved author of “The Artist’s Way”, Julia Cameron, writes. I believe this to be Truth. If Nature is the no. 1 healer then Art comes second. And while it may be true that the best things in life are free, the crux of the matter with art is that it’s created by human beings: people…

Gaslighting on a large scale
I know, I’ve already written about the war in Ukraine, but I have dear family in the country, and it is just so heartbreaking and troubling to witness what is going on. It’s hard to believe that this is happening in the 21st century! Not only does Putin and his cruel regimé’s actions and rhetoric showcase the worst kind of…

Nature gems in the city
With the arrival of spring, I’ve ventured out into the sun, exploring my new, bigger, home city. It has been an absolute treat to discover several natural treasures close by, something I wasn’t even aware of when I moved into my little flat 6 months ago! At heart, I am still a country girl, so it was a delight to…
On bullies and boundaries
Dangers of delusional leaders and the tragedy of trauma. What’s happening right now in Ukraine is frightening and heartbreaking. I am normally not particularly interested in politics, but this war is so shocking and horrible (like all wars are, of course). As I tend to do, I’ll try and look deeper, into possible root causes behind what’s going on. Sometimes,…

Exciting news & cover reveal
I’ve got some exciting news to share! At the beginning of November, “The Indie Author” by Londoner Jasraj Hothi got released: an e-book featuring a cool collection of interviews from 50 independent authors; among them yours truly. 50 raw and honest author stories about the often wobbly and winding road to self-publication.

Book title & theme reveal!
(photo credit Nathan Myhrvold) Now, why am I posting a picture of a snowflake in August? I’m posting it because I’ve been busy writing these last months: the novel will probably be ready to be put out into the world quite soon and snowflakes play a small but important part in the sequel about Maria. Today, I can reveal that…
Healing tools for trying times
With 2021 still only in bud, I don’t believe anyone is able to predict what the new year will bring even if we all, of course, wish for the best. Let’s hope a needed change in human hearts, behaviors and mindset will emerge out of all of this for the betterment of the planet and humanity. As an introvert, 2020…
From hard work to Heartwork
As I faced Chronic fatigue 4 years ago, I felt a need to express myself; to help raise awareness in highly sensitive people (particularly, but not exclusively, girls/women) on how to protect our precious energy by staying in touch and in tune with the whole rainbow of emotions, processing and (preferably) expressing them instead of suppressing. Honoring the language of…
