An aphorism I love. And believe in.
By the wise, so very wise Paolo Coelho.
Do you believe it? Tell me your story…
Kisses and a very Good Night to you all, my loyal readers,
from somewhere around Southern France
from your very own

I’ve seen many versions of this motto, but here’s my favorite, as quoted by Pauli Aalto-Setälä:
Life is short. Learn the rules. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly.
It took me some decades to learn breaking the rules but nowadays I’m getting quite good at it…
Surprisingly difficult it is, for a girl brought up to Behave and Be good.
But so worth it.

“Return to things that are meaningful, and bathe inside of them.
Do the things that somehow make you come alive.”
–Viktor Egelund–

I guess we all have a list of things to do in this life.
What’s on yours?
I have so many things, most of them simple and easy, yet here they are, on the to-be-done -list. Still.
Such as.
Being present. In the moment. For my children. For my mother.
Climb a mountaintop. Visit Tibet.
Enjoy a sunset in peace and silence.
Fulfill a secret dream, too fragile, too personal, too precious to tell a soul.
To love. Deeply. Unconditionally. Profoundly.
To wake up to sunrise, full of tomorrow.
How hard can all that be?
Uh… Peculiarly very much so.

My kids have been sick all week which means that I haven’t slept, had a rational thought or conversation, let alone set a foot outside… in a week.
So I turn to my favorite wise guy Viktor Egelund to make some sense of this chaos called life.
As usual, he’s there for me:
“The chance of anything is always 50-50. Either it happens or it doesn’t.
Just ignore statistics from now on.”
V.E.
As life at the moment feels more like a stumble than a stride, I find Viktor’s words oddly comforting.
If Carrie could get up after falling flat on her face… So can I.
And maybe. Just maybe next time the odds will be in my favor.

You can dance anywhere, even if only in your heart.
Today I have worked very hard on something that is both very important and extremely scary to me. A chance I owe myself to take. Although I still don’t know where I’ll find the courage to it.
I wanted to share this lovely wild picture by Unjung Jun with you – today it has helped me relate with a phrase so real:
No guts, no glory.

All is well, just remember that, especially when it’s not.
Life has a way of taking care of itself.
– Viktor Egelund –
So comforting. Even true, I think.

Don’t cry because it’s over.
Smile because it happened.
