Re:jesus – The Word [what my church’s plan for two years from last August].
The Word provides nourishment. (Mattew 4:1-4)
The Word shape us. (Luke 6:46-49)
Jesus also pointing on the (Mattew 5:18) [Roman 8:15 – in this verse did today’s preacher, get his motivation and what was the start to find his identity in Jesus]
The Word is Living. (Hebrew ) The word give us everything no matter if we feel anything. The word isn’t dependant on what or how we react or feel. The word isn’t just for me alone.
“Do’s and Don’t’s “
Don’t do to much.
Don’t read just alone. (Very important to share and get word’s from other Christians)
I got inspired from work where the pulpils in 7th grade going to start a upcycling project this week (week 5 of 2024). My udea started three weeks ago and I have used as much time as I have been able to use. Evenings and weekends, when I have been well, sewing together pa5ches to bigger patches. I have got so far now, that I can finally start to cut the pattern 😍🧵✂️.
Here is the pictures from the start;

Easter24
During this Easter I managed to get sewing machine oil on the just finish pants 🤪 …
…so than it was to pick up the area of the pants.
My type of Art
I have now been able to use them at work (finally) this last week. And they are my very much favourite pants! The benefits of sewing my own wardrobe is to sew clothes that fits me. With leg length of 91cm (35,82 inch) I struggle to find pants that are long enough and nit to lose in my waist.
I have never shared this before. This is a part of my story whom I am and have become. With my background, Eating Disorder, loss of faith and becoming a believer.
Backgroundfor this specfic story; I come from a smaller county, smaller class and a teacher that didn’t aloud bollying. A small school and everyone knew about each other. My mother was a teacher in 5th grade when I started 1st grade in the same school. I lived in this county for 6 years, went in 1st and 2nd year in this smaller school.
When I was 9 y.o. my family moved. My journey of being bullied started and at 11 y.o. my eating disorder started. My family had just moved from one county to whole new one approxy 350 km north from where I felt at home, still in the middle of Sweden. I had no friends, I was the new girl, I was different, I was taller than everyone else in the class of 20 students. I came from a Christian family, I was thin, I think everything about me was wrong according to my new classmates. At least that’s how it felt there and than. I literally don’t know what I did or why they choosed to pick on me. I just know the facts that came with it. ED. Eating disorder, physical, mental and psycologic bulling, that no one knew about more than me.
It started for real1988 when I was 11 y.o. the same year I got my period. The bullying & ED started. Hormons started to change me. If anyone saw something no one said a thing. I hide it well. I was “a bit lucky” because of the time fashion was big cloths – the start of the 1990’s. I could hide well. I ate one big meal once a day, more than most. For years I didn’t eat breakfast becauce I got nausea from eating.
I think I maybe surpriced some people of how much I ate. I ate like growing boy becauce I grew quite much those years. Until I was 16, I ate less at home and more at school (Sweden has free warm meal for lunch in all schools). Therefor I could hide it at home. I had my scouts once a week, I did sports twice a week and two friends was what I had to hang with. Yet no one said a thing. So I guess they didn’t see it.
At age 16, I had been bullied for seven years. Seven terrible years of many bad momories. Memories I carry with me to this day. But today I processed these painful wounds.
At 16 y.o. August 1993 I moved away from home mainly cause I didn’t want to see all my classmates. I hated them and I hated myself. I didn’t wanted to live. And between september and december 1993 I tried several times to not live. I made a decition to not be a Christian and interrupt with Christians the day I moved. I had suicidal thoughts almost every day that fall. I choose to take a big distance from all kind of Christian people that August. I didn’t want to have anything to do with them. Because I was so disapointed. I started to hate all those Christians who said one thing and did the oppostie – like my own father – and from that time he wasn’t my dad anymore he was just the man my mom was married with. Biologically my dad but so much more a hypocrite. He preached out about how life should be but did the oppusite at home.
My first turn-around-point was a cold december night 1993, I had gotten hold of some very strong painkillers and some beer. Took it, fell a sleep. Woke up sitting in the bed with closed eyes yet seeing a strong light and me standing on the tip of a cliff and a hand reaching out to me. I am sure it was Jesus. I knew enough from my childhood about that Jesus could come as a strong light it’s has been describe. (I were not a believe in at that time, but that was the closest my brain could think of. )And when I actually open up my eyes, I saw puke on the other side of my room. Which didn’t make any sence it could got there. If you puke, it would be on the floor on the side of the bed! I can’t explain how it got there. But for sure it got to me. I understood that I should live.
The day after my wierd night in December 1993 I started to live, my life the way I wanted it without christian people and not letting anyone be able to say anything about me or how I look like. Yet still with ED as a part of my life…
Between 1994 and 1999 , I lived my life my way. Still hiding my ED. I was never so sick that I needed to visit a hospital, but I got to a point where I weighed just the minimum towards my lenght and BMI. This weight is 68kg (149 pound). A number that is still in the back of my head as a warning. To never get there again.
In 1999 I had a period in my life, when the ED was more and stronger than anything else in my life. A school nurse asked me “why do you have a need to get weight every week?” I knew she knew. I understood she could send me to the hospital for more surveys..nothing I wanted. So I told her. The first time ever I told an aduldt about my ED, age 22. Twelve years later from when it all started.
August 2000, I lived in the same county and municipality as my parents. One weekend I went away with some friends – Christian friends – still not interested in what they had inside. Still cold on the inside. Still a lot of hate and dissaponitments towards parts of my family. Still living with ED.
(Summerbreak August 2000) I recieved a bible verse that weekend, had to borrow a bible. Read it. Didn’t understand a thing. It came back three times! I talked to one of the pastors asked him what I should do and (this was during a service) and he said, “I think the Lord have giving you this verse to share” and gave me the microphone. I said “I am not a believer but I got a bible verse”.
I read it loud and went back to my seat. “A while after came a guy – who was a part of my friends but yet he was from the States, the lord had lead him to Sweden(!) – to me and said Thank you for sharing! Those verses was to me. “I had asked the Lord to use someone, not a believer to show me why I am in Sweden and what the next is for me.” And I know I have had friends praying for my life since August 2000, most of them haven’t had a clue what I’ve been through yet they wanted to pray for my life.
He was right, the Lord used me non believer! That Sunday, was my second turn-around-point in my life from Jesus (August 2000). I said “Okay Jesus, you are real when you can use me non believer to someone who are a believing Christian.” “I am willing to start to get to know you, but don’t force me and let me be able to be in “my environment” with non believers.” My journey with the Lord started there with ups and downs!!
The path we walk in life.
And in september 2002 I made one of my biggest decisions, to start eat normal. To get in to routines of eating. 8 times during the hours I was awake. Every 2nd hour. To beat the ED. To gain weight. I used a lot of protein powder for extra good energy. (As a baby I had inherited high metabolism) and after 15 years of ED my metabolism got even higher… 🤪 therefor protein power. I alaso started to talk to two pastorol carer for a year. Can’t see that this would have been possible without the Lord and my journey with him! To not let my ED don’t rule my life anymore.
My third turn-around-point in life. And every day is still a reminder of what, when and why I need to eat on regular times and two warm meals. I still struggle some day’s with the mental part to actually eat when I need, especially through work. But I can say, I am today free the ED in the way it was.
I have as an aduldt realized some deformed body parts like uneven breasts, one bigger fot, one longer arm as a consequence of the ED while I were growing. The fact that my ED maybe is a reason that I can’t have kids (which never been a longing), or maybe is the reason I got into perimenopause age 43… I have now accepted it all, but for years I was embarrassed about my body.
You can’t see I have had ED because I never went to far as for many others. But yet I went to far in the first place cause I started with the shit. This shit disease have open up my eyes in the last years. And I want to study and learn more about it to be able to help other young girls and boys. I have come to the point where I can live with the side effects it has given me. And I think this is an other reason to why I like to work in the school, to be able to observe the students (kids). I can say as I am an aduldt now, that it is a heavy disease!! It’s mental and psychological damage is clear in so manylevels!! 😒
To be freefrom ED for me means I am not thinking of when I should eat during the hours I am awake to gain the most of energy throughtout the day, which was my goal for those 15 years in life.
But this year – 2022 – I celebrate 20 years of beeing free from ED. But I also think of it every year that past.
Still one day at the time to conquer the disease.
How other bloggers have helped me to put words on my experience of my ED since I started to blog. And this post, have taking me almost all this month to put words on how I have experience, live with ED, get out of it, start to enjoy life again, the backsides of it and how I want to live my life.
With the Lord on this Journey it will be possible to climb one level higher each Day.
A prophetic greeting I recived this evening in my house church, to you who need it.
A picture from the Lord;
A bathing jetty. Strong wind around you. Stormy sea. Steady ground. The mountains in the background. The rays of the sun which are the light of Jesus. The clouds that create shadow in your life. The faith you have in me your Father. The cross that is your security and your reason for your faith. The flowers that give you the positive energy for the day. The stones around the pier that can provide support for tired legs. The waves around the pier that calm down when it clears up. The benches that are worn, so that we can recognize ourselves in how life can be.
A picture, where the words trying to give you a picture from the Lord about how you can feel like life is.
A picture ment like support and guidness, wisdom and love.
Inspiration and the Love from God. How good foundation you have in Him, the Cross and your Faith.
The rain and the storm can clean your thoughts, wondering and how you after can stand fri and feel like you have a new Body, Soul and Head.
The woman that has inspired me in many ways had biRthDaY yesterday. She became 79 yesterday 🎉🎉. She is ill with dementia and Alzheimer and she is my mom. She has learned me a lot of life, how cook food, how spend or not spend money. She is the person I look up to. She has been my inspiration in many ways.
Many people is surpriced she is still with us becauce of her illness and becauce she has been really sick twice in 13 months. Both times didn’t the doctors think she wouldn’t survive. Butshe is a strong woman. A lot of people was praying for her and she came back stronger. 🙏✝️
I am Thankful even though I have not seen her for the last four years. I love her even more now, than what I said or showed her when she wasn’t sick.
And I miss her.
I just want to hear her voice again…💖
She was the one that learned me to prepare food, wash clothes and make easy dinner with one of my brothers when I was 8 y.o. She nagged on me to clean my room as I become a teenager and she have helped me to move so many times 💖 (!) She has always been there even if we lived on a distance 💖 of minimum 350km to maximum 1200km for many years.
As long as I can remember she has been on a bycycle, to work or to the grocery store or prayer meeting. She loved to do easy exercice. She stoped using her bycycle about a year after she stoped to drive the car. We didn’t aloud her for safety of her self and others in trafic. But she’s been able to walk for many years. Even if it only were for 20minutes in the end, she walked. She had a small route she walked daily. 💜 She liked to be outside, she loved the forest, she went to the forest to pick wild berries and learned me where and how to find it.
This picture is from 2011 that Summer she and dad came visit me here in Norway. That was the last time she visit me. 💖 Her sickness had escalated this year and when they visit me I had to enjoy every minute I got with her being able to talk and walk. I miss that part of my mom 💖
Every year I pray I will have the opportunity to go and visit her for the last time before she is gone. 💖
I hope I make the trip in 2020 both financial and with someone that can watch my cat 🐈.
My mom was saved as a teenager and she had a relationship to the Lord. Now I 🙏 the Lord is with her every Day.
HaPPy biRthDaY Mom 💖💖💖
Love you!!
💖You have helped me in many ways in life! I can’t say it to many times, I love you Mom. 💖
Life challenge when we ask God specific what we want and which door He open.
Genesis 15:1-5;
1,«After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, «Do not be afraid, Abram I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.» 2,But Abram said, «Lord God, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damscus?» 3,Then Abram said, «Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!» 4,And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, «This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.» 5, Then He brought him outside and said, «Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you able to number them.» And He said to him, «So shall your descendants be.»
What do we do when things doesn’t go like we want? Have God told you something that you are still waiting on? How does God’s challenge you? And does God challenge you like he challengedAbraham?
Are you trusting God and God’s plan, when things aren’t going like you thought? Are you standing there and asking «where did you go God?» Just because you don’t feel God?
What does the Hebrew letter say to us?
Hebrew 6:13, 6:19.
6:13; «For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself»
6:19; «This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the evil.»
Where are your anchor?
Who is your anchor?
Are you trusting God and His plan for your life?
Why do we fear God and don’t trust ourselves? Because we don’t trust God enough.
How and what do we do with the covenant we have to and with God?
Make sure that the anchor fall totally down to the bottom. Make sure that the anchor do it’s purpose in your life!
Does your faith endure challenges?
Do you trust God?
The challenge from God can look or feel like this sometimes.
My thoughts….
I know I trust God. I reminding myself of the fact that I have to put all my life into his hand if my life is gonna to work. If I don’t trust my Heavenly Father I don’t know how my life would look like. Well I know it wouldn’t look like it do right now.
This preaching has enough questions to read this more then twice! Which I hope you do. Sit down somewhere you feel you can get some input from God. Think over those questions, see if you can answer them right away or if you actually need some time maybe days. It’s not an easy answer here!
As far as I know, I know I trust God and give Him my life every day but do I listen to all He says? I believe I miss some of all the things he is trying to tell me. I can be busy with other things or maybe it’s the TV that take “all my attention”?
I want to be challenge of God in my life, I don’t know if I am ready for it all the times though. I believe those questions are important! to live with every day! And I think it’s one of the challenges God has given us.
To be there and listen to him.
To trust him always.
To not fear.
To accept a challenge and learn on the way in our Christian life wherever we are in our journey with Him. ❤
When I started to blog I did it clear my head, not really to get people to start following my blog for sure! But here I am, few years later with around twenty followers!
It’s been a Journey, my Journey to figure things out. A positive exploring journey. Where I have had to trust Dad’s Word to me, to listen to what He says and understand that this is what He want me to do not just for me but also for you who read.
It’s about to share the good and fun
and bad or sad
things in life.
God has given me the gift of greetings to other people. He gives me uplifting words, pictures or Bibleverses. He has also given me prophetic words back to me through friends this year – 2018.
*The first greeting I got this year was; the 28th of April.
I did not really understand, so I Said “Dad if you give me the same message 3 times I know it is from you, but you also have to show me clearly what this is about.”
*The second greeting came in June and *the third in November.
All with the same message:
“I will make your Creativity bigger”.
Was I or Am I up for a new challenge?
In November and December I started to see clearly and understand what Dad wanted for me and this blog. When more and more of you who are now following my blog. I understood this is my challenge, my gift from Dad my Lord. This is what He wants for me.
This is the greeting “I will make your Creativity bigger“.
To share.
My Dad, our heavenly Father, has spoken to me, to share my Christian life, my Daily life to inspire others. To follow Him and let Him guide me.
I do not know my future but I know He will guide me and give me the right words.
I am not good to read the bible… But Dad has pointed this out to me;
“You are willing to hear my voice and do what I ask you to do, which for me is better then to read and not understand the words.”
Not that I don’t want to not read the bible. No no no. I want it but I fall a sleep ☹️ no matter what time it is. It is all about to get good habits. Which for me is to read through the Bible-app and read uplifting week-plans.
So now I’m looking 4ward to next year and the year after that! With Dad and this blog. 😊
I wish you all a Happy New Year🎇, Happy life🎉🎉, a good relationship with Dad our heavenly Father where ever you are around the 🌏🌎🌍.
I will Try to post more often then until December-18, which was special. I hope my blog will be full of inspiration and that you will let your network know about me, if you like it. 😉
It’s Christmas eve 🎄 it’s finally here. The Day I have been waiting on.
Here comes the verse for today; Psalm 37:21
The wicked borrows and does not repay, But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
This verse is just like what Christmas is all about. To show mercy and be giving.
We celebrate the newborn son that came to this World for us. Our Father gave us a son, to be able to show mercy to others. And we have the oppurtunity to give, show love and mercy.
It’s little Christmas eve, the last day to shop the very last things.
Here is the verse of today;
Psalm 31:7-8
I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered ny trouble; You have known my soul in adversities,
And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.
And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.
It is the time to recieve, to enjoy with friends and family, to love and forgive. I hope you will be with someone you love or care for tomorrow and the Day after that.
Spend time is better then gifts you rap in paper. Remember, you can’t buy time but you spend time. 😉
I lost my homemade advents calender ☹️😢 Therefor I have to post the 20th on the end of the 21st…
Psalm 98:1
OH, sing to the Lord a new song! For HE has done marvelos things
To dare to sing to the Lord, to try to sing, whatever or however it sounds, just do it. Because that’s what it says. HE our heavenly Father will do marvelos things!
Believe and have faith.
Try and don’t care what other people think of your voice.
My inspiration to colours in life comes mostly from some interior magazines.
This is my second book of inspiration, or scrap-book as most people would say, where I do my version of “the pins” you find online. I have to keep my inspiration or ideas when I find something I like. Most people who buy a interior magazines maybe keep it a month, I keep it for years. I go back and find something “new” I have not seen or maybe I did not like it when this magazine was new in my home..
Here is few pictures from my 2nd scrap-book… it’s a good mix of Christmas to how to organize flowers with candle ligths 😉…
Some ideas from my first scrap-book..
This is like a candy store for me.
This gives me lots of positive energy and it’s relaxing for me, it’s like to “go in to a hobby room” even if I just do this in my couch or sewing-corner. 😆😆😆
Sorry (to everyone who following my blog) I have not written in a while! I’ve been travel and time has fled to fast since last blog! It’s been a bit crazy with a new work-experience place…
Any way,
I don’t know how you see me, more then maybe a very creative person, but I love colours. Strong colours. And I need colours in my life. My home for example has colours and it’s not the ordinary home like everyone else. Yes, it’s my chaos with colours. 🙂 It makes me HaPpy. I have had a dream of a red kitchen since I was a teenager, I don’t think this kitchen I have in mind will be totally red in the future as I dreamt of but that’s okay. As long as I have one spot in red I will be happy.
You know how much I love the Autumn, which is a season of lots of colours therefor the featured picture of a leaf. Which leads med to the pictures I’m gonna post here, some may be pictures I’ve shared before.
The feeling of turning the music on and the television off. 🙂
This weekend is that just what I have enjoyed. I spent some hours in my couch on Friday evening more because I couldn’t be on my computer after a migraine attack. But I can’t say I watched the programs on the television, no it was more in the background.
So what better isn’t to just turn it off?!?
Time out for a good book.
Yesterday did I sew some and fix some with the sewing-machine and no TV 🙂 after that I went out to be social and celebrate a friend on her birthday. A good decision!
Today I woke up with some ache in my body so I had the TV on in the background, it was some interesting sports and then some boring sports.. haha but after that I had vacuum cleaned my place I felt for some piece and quite.
So music on and I reached for a book, where I am in the end but it’s like I never end it no I rather start a new book..but now I’m gonna finish it! 🙂 So I peacefully can start a new “fourth book” or maybe it’s just a “third book”..
I think it’s okay to read more then one book as long as you know the different and what’s in which book. I usually read 3-4 books parallel with each other. Therefor can’t I read 5 books (well technical I can) but I don’t think it’s so smart. I had a discussion about this with a friend last week, she can’t read more then two parallel of each book and she is fascinate about people like me who read more then that and I am fascinate over those whom only read one book. My mom rad only one book at the time but she also “swallowed” the books she read and she had a hard time to put them away. i am a bit of the opposite of that in my reading.
Men are from Mars women are from Venus (gonna start to read it. Millennium, Wedding dress and Summer breeze.
For me it’s more of a thing to read different genres/type of books and get a better vocabulary because I love to read both in Norwegian and Swedish and English. And when you read more than one book and in more than one language you should be able to increase the vocabulary. 🙂
I love the Autumn and have since I was a kid. It is something about all the colours, the rain and the air.
It gives me more energy then any other season. For me it’s a positive time.
I love the Autumn rain because it most the time comes fast, hard and leave most the time fast but I also like it when it’s rains for day’s. It’s something beautiful with rain.
But it’s also all about all those beautiful colours! The nature has in my eyes a special power when it comes to colours. Just how different all kind of leafs changes colours from Day to Day is a WOW feeling!
How a flower which is both blooming and over-blooming and still is so beautiful.
Or when a leaf goes from green to red!
How beautiful a yellow feld can be…
And how a waterstreem flows through a subarea and the sound of it give you harmony just pasting it above it..
How beautiful it is to walk with trees on both sides that shifting in colours ☺ or pasting this with the contrast.. 😉
It gives me lots of inspiration, Joy and energy even if I have a bad day or a cold. 😉
Here is my inspiration in life to get up every morning, to do what I manage, to live, to get through the day. My staircase..
The gym.
Silver – my cute cat.
Life on a stick, isn’t that what the saying says? It’s a short line and expression of how life is…
Life is like a staircase. You walk up and some days you walk back. But to get up to the top is the best, because there you’ll see what’s hiding from you. You’ll see the light, all the things you know and don’t know.
It’s been almost three months of searching on my own to find a place where I could have a new work-experience, with no luck. It’s been a journey of it’s own. It’s been fun most days.I challenge myself and made it. But I have now come to an end and gonna apply for part-time jobs which is what I can manage with this body today. If I in the future will manage a full-time job is not in my head right now, but will see maybe I’ll be there again. I hope so. Right now I just need to focus on the gym twice a week and then get in to a good job-routine with structure.
I am still walking my staircase. It’s an interesting climbing to reach my future. And I am still looking forward to see what this year have to give me and what it will bring me even after five month into 2016. I am still as curious what new things I’ll learn on the way!
So today is the first day in three months I am gonna look for and hopefully apply for a job. In the meantime my consult at NAV will try to help me to get me a work-experience place that can lead to a job. So every day I have enough energy I’ll look for a job and I’ll have my breaks, I’ll find something that fits me! I haven’t given up! I see the light in the tunnel.
Few nights ago I had a breakdown. I was crying out my fear, my emptiness, my frustration in my life to God. It was good! It helped me so much after.
It helped me so much that I was Brain Storming out in »my garden» the same day (just later) with the sound from the stream we have in the end of the garden.
It helped me to clear my brain and to think new.
It’s like God has given me something invisible I can’t touch but use. It’s like finding new path’s, road’s, street’s of how to find a job, search and think. I have peace. I still don’t have the motivation I had but I can see the light in the tunnel again. I am willing to find my way.
Last evening which ended into late night or earlie morning I was actually on my LinkedIn profile. Reading about «how to make your self more attractive» for the employers. What to write to attract. Very interesting reading!
– That gave me inspiration and hope.
I think a breakdown for me was just what I needed to see clear again and see new light into what I am doing. To explore new paths and enjoy life more. To take one day in the week to just do some fun stuff with a friend. To re-start.
I want to be hungry to learn more about my areas, about administration, find literature in this area. I want to be hungry on God. Trust him. Walk that specific street with him.
This breakdown was an eye-opener for me.
A good one!
Like, what do I want in a job? What am I looking for? Do I put my faith first in life? What do I do with the days? What would be a benefit for me?
So far have I already learned to watch myself from the sideline in a positive way. It have helped me to understand myself more. Good lesson.
This week began with a lot of inspiration, and I sew after joining a Facebook group. And I’ve both gotten and started cutting a pair of pants that are in my length !, which I look forward to getting both to go in one-sided pants but also just because they’re the right length.
The old jeans I’ve used for many years are now my pattern. 🙂
But the motivation to apply for a job is not as big. It became even less motivating when I tried to find interesting posts and suddenly there are so many who require Bachler education in administration jobs.
“…last week did I try to use my network without luck. “
I have told most I know that I still have the motivation to apply and get me a job, yes, that’s true. To some extent. But, yes, there is one but here, motivation is not as great as motivation as sewing … Oh, that’s not so good! But then it is and say the individual, I tried it and “use my network” last week. I sent my resume to one in my network and he passed it on to his boss and yesterday I was notified that I was going to interview today. This after searching for more jobs in months without anything back. So I came to interview today, it went well and now I just have to wait for what’s going on.
This picture took I directly after the interview. Oslo harbor in a cold wind.
If I get this job, it’s at the outset that when someone has to go to the doctor, doctors, sicknesses or vacationers need extra help. That she I met at the interview asked if I could work for example during the Christmas holidays, clearly I can. Yes, it would have been nice to meet the family, but earning money is more important than traveling.
“One lovely hour by the sea.”
Today I took a trip down to Sjølyst boat harbor to enjoy the fall and the boats. It was almost like meditating and I had time to talk to God while I was there. 🙂 A pleasant hour by the water. With lots of good cool air, luckily I had the down jacket otherwise I would have frozen too much. Yes, I have just started the down jacket, it’s not super cold, but I’ve got a bit hot than freezing.
“The motivation often goes blank a bit like a battery ….”
But back to motivation ..
To “find” inspiration and motivation is not simple or easy. It will not arrive by mail or by e-mail. It often runs out a bit like a battery, so I’ve run out of motivation. and I do not know how to get or get back to it … But I hope it returns after the trip down by the sea today or that I’m right to get to work soon so I do not have to send more applications.
Now I’m going to sew a little to do something completely different.I’m very excited.
Thinking, skirt. We’ll see if that’s it is in the end. 😉

A friend of min told me she got more inspired to pick up her writing after I told her about my writing. I like to hear thing like this, that my creativity inspires others.
I got more inspired to write after that.
When my friends tell me that they get inspired of my creativity in life or small things I share with them about life. My first though is “how do I inspire you with my life?” then I think “well I guess that is a good thing”. And when I talk to my nearest friends about this, most of them says “its just how you live that inspires me”.
How do we get inspire in life and what inspires us? Well I know that we all find inspiration in thing we like. Like colors, cars, flowers, interior, houses, garden, music, words, life, nature and more. But how do you make that as a part of your life?
When I, like yesterday was on the beach and read one of my favorite books I had the sea on my left side where I was sitting, heard the water moving and made waves. I got inspired to go and find “floating timber-wood” along the water edge and bring home. And there I was walking around to find those good “floating timber-wood” and I got inspired to pick up some blue shells lying on the beach and bring home.
I get inspired of a lot of different things in life. It can be like yesterday, by the water or to walk into a store full of colorful fabrics or interior store. Its rare that I buy something, but I get home full of ideas in my head with everything I’ve seen and I most the time make something out of what I have home.
And I think its the same for most people. You all get inspired of something in life and you try to do something else out of it. It can be to write about it, paint it, write music, to sing or something else. And I wish you all find your way to be creative in the way that fits you.
This is my thought, since I went to elementary school I have liked writing short stories and novels- but for the last ten years I have not been writing as much as I have wanted to. I love toread bookswhere I get drawn into thethe detailsat onceand watch tvseries wherethe details arein place anddescribethe eventswithdrama.
I like this, what Elizabeth Gilbert writes. It fits in to who I am. I did start to write but I had a break. A bit of a long break. But I’m back. I have started to write again and I hope and wish you will read it. I never thought I would write a book but writing helps me get my thoughts out of my head instead of analyzing everything as a lot of people do.
I love to write as a way to give the thoughts wings because I am not that kind of long analytic person. In that case I am not very “girlish”. I have a realistic brain that loves structure and routine and having things in order, numbers and multi-tasking.
I get inspiration from crime books and TV-series like Castle, NCIS and Law and Order and similar series. One of my favorite series is Sex and the City – with the writer Carrie Bradshaw ( Sarah Jessica Parker). For me its all about how she writes, her thoughts in life.
I have some journalist in my family and I think they have inspired me too in some way. They write daily and I can read some of it online and learn more. I have quite close friends who works with media and they also give me ideas. To write for me is not a problem I have so much in my head I can write about so no, that is not my issue. As long as I have my computer and a good cup of coffee I can write until I fall a sleep. I get inspired by words from my friends, what I hear in the store or on the train. I get influence from everywhere. Its just to get it down. Mostly I write it down on paper and than here on my computer.
I’ve just started to write about summer memories from my childhood, maybe it will be something more than just write it down at home who knows. But the things I will share here will be shorter stories and novels.
