When the Present Moment is Too Much

                The present moment is sometimes unacceptable, unpleasant, or awful. It is as it is. Observe how the mind labels it and how this labeling process, this continuous sitting in judgement, creates pain and unhappiness. By watching the mechanics of the mind, you step out of its resistence […]

Let it Flow

Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of  the swing to the left; rythm compensates. ~The Kybalion

Copenhagen Christmas Markets 2009

UPDATE: AOK published a rather long list of markets too. Check it out! Last year I did a round-up of Xmas markets around the Copenhagen area. I have done this again for 2009 for the LINK (Ladies International Network) newsletter and I’ve also received some great info on Christmas concerts from the LINK group. Here it is […]

Common Thread: Time For A Change

Have you ever noticed that sometimes the same theme or topic seems to repeatedly come up in random places or between disassociated groups of people? They don’t “seem” connected, but somehow they are. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve had four different people tell me the exact same thing…and it happens to be the very thing that I am […]

“The force of a hammer blow depends on the energy applied; the power expressed by a man’s bodily instrument depends on his aggressive will and courage. The body is literally manufactured and sustained by mind. Through pressure of instincts from past lives, strengths or weaknesses percolate gradually into human consciousness. They express as habits, which in […]

How I plan to spend the month of November

The summers are over way too quickly here in Scandinavia. I guess that’s why we savor it so much. That is if it happens to be a nice summer. This year was only decent and it was good that we opted for Italy instead of Norway for our summer holiday otherwise we would not have […]

Copenhagen Summer Fun: Something for Everyone

I wrote the following article for Copenhagen Exclusive Magazine. It appeared in print last year but never made it online. It’s filled with lots of tips on things to do in and around CPH during the summer! Wonderful Copenhagen also compiled a list of Sea View Hangouts. Sunset at Furesøen – Denmark’s deepest lake When the […]

Just Face It…

I read a passage in a wonderful book I’m reading (that I also highly recommend) called “Anam Cara, A book of Celtic Wisdom,” by John Donohue. It resonated with me so much that I want to make sure it sticks. SO, I’m putting it here to do that! “SPONTANEITY AND BLOCKAGE” The story is about […]

Baby Dies: 11 Danish Doctors Make Grave Mistake

I am astounded….and stunned, but regretfully not surprised. Today’s front cover article on the largest national daily, Berlingske Tidende, reads: “Baby døde efter lægesvigt,” (Baby died after medical failure). It’s a very sad and most unfortunate story about how, after several (ELEVEN) attempts to get proper treatment, a 14-month old baby died from swallowing a battery […]
