Choosing compassion over empathy
While it sounds righteous and good to show empathy towards others, it isn't quite the same as showing compassion. It could even create a bigger gap between a professional and a client. Let me explain. To show someone empathy, is to feel what the other person is feeling and expressing an understanding of that, such as I understand that you're upset. To show someone compassion, is to be able to relate to the emotion that the other person is feeling, through having had a similar

Together, we create this world.
It's not about whether you made any mistakes, it's about if you correct them. It's not about whether you didn't know something, it's about if you asked for more information. It's not about what you like or dislike about someone, it's about if you show them respect regardless. It's not about who is right or wrong, it's about what is right or wrong. It's not about if who caused a problem, it's about if you want to solve it. It's not about which authority you exert, it's about w

How I've been persecuted in Sweden
2005 After receiving unemployment for a couple of months, I was asked to pay it all back by Alfakassan without it being any fraud, stating that I would have worked when I hadn’t and had evidence of it, being it mandatory to attend an unemployment program provided by Swedish social security. 2006-07 On sick leave with pay according to past salaries. Constantly nauseated and ill to my stomach, shaking with cold etc but labeled as anxiety. Started eating gluten-free and took i

Not taking things for granted
Yesterday, when I was walking through the forest on my normal route, I scented the deers further in but saw none at first. I shrugged it off, thinking I can't be so lucky every time. Then suddenly, as I approached a large green meadow, I saw a woman and her dog had stopped on the trail looking at one. It started walking away. When I was walking towards to the same spot, I looked for it, but didn't see it. I felt a little disappointed. Had the little deer walked away from me?

Book number four - creator rather than influencer
With the multitude of young adults striving for fame and fortune through their social media presence as influencers, I decided to write a book during 2025 about what creativity is, both as inventions and as art. Through this book, I list examples of various creative professions and share the creative process step by step. I briefly discuss the more common use of AI in society. And I've added several personal examples of my creativity in the workplace, as well as give my own t

A marketing campaign or a smear campaign?
After I first had written my book in 2007, about how I found Hula and learned about living Aloha in Hawaii, I intended to get it published in Swedish. In 2008, I was looking into building Telluselle Living Center either in Malmö or in Stockholm in Sweden, but found nobody interested. Instead, I began feeling sabotaged and my career came to a standstill, including not getting any regular job interviews. I therefore translated my book into English in 2009-10 and returned to Haw

Practicing without soreness
Thankfully, I've been able to take classes in Isadora Duncan dance technique through zoom, again this summer on 6 occasions, 2,5 hours at a time. And without becoming sore! I have also kept doing my own 1 hr practices to a video weekly, throughout the year, besides yoga. I've understood through my own experience, how much a good night's sleep before and after helps, just like not practicing every day. I go for a walk first, to get fresh air and my blood pumping. Eating well b

How I've been stalked
Trigger warning! This post is sharing examples of how I'm stalked by Daniel Andersson (and others), since 2009 that the Swedish police ignores. But I thought it would be good to compile it and publish once and for all. 2009 Daniel contacted me by emails, phone calls and text messages, stating things like I should know how much he loves me and that we already would be a couple because of his address bearing similarities with my writing. He had seen me dancing Hula in the Swede

Entitlement
About a week ago, I listened to the Woman of Impact podcast on YouTube, with an interview of Dr Jessica Taylor, sharing how women have been subjected to abusive treatment by the state in UK (and in Sweden too, I can testify) and how victims of stalking, as well as stalkers, behave. I have been trying to not take it in too much, how much I've been stalked, both online with numerous intrusions and sabotages of my professional endeavors, and in person in my homes. Listening to t

Looking up
One of the things that is different in Isadora Duncan dance from ordinary ballet or jazz, is how our hands are often set to droop. Another thing is that our neck is tilted backwards, so that we can look straight up into the sky. This has been quite the practice for me. I found it very hard in the beginning, and even a little scary. But with practice, both doing the Vrksasana (Tree balance pose) in Yoga looking up, and dancing more from within, it's become easier. I'm now dari

Fostering a supportive language
As someone who has been a writer my entire life, and a professional half of it, choosing the right words is always important. I try to make decisions about which words to use for whom and how, to ensure that my message comes across in the same tone of voice and type of vocabulary and langauge the receiver speaks in. In copywriting, this is referred to as writing adapted to the target group. The same applies when we talk to ourselves and our peers. Which words we choose will m

God's reassurance
After not sleeping nearly enough and not well, I still managed to get up on time and get ready to go to the dentist for my yearly check-up. These visits always make me feel both a bit dread but most of all nauseated and having to go to the bathroom, not knowing if I can make it there. Unless this is a perceived threat that my Swedish enemy does on purpose to try to destroy my mana, as it's called in Hawai'i. Mana, sitting in teeth. Power, energy, essence. This, since it can h

Rewriting my thesis
In 2003, I took graduate classes in Work science in Sweden but didn't pass my exam paper, unexpectedly, and without any real stated reasons. This has haunted me for many years, so this year I decided to give it a new try. First of all, the profession Job coach, or Career coach, was all new in Sweden back then and therefore seen upon as controversial or with a tendency to mean shady courses for personal development. When in fact, coaching is built on one-on-one live sessions w

Setting boundaries
The last couple of years, it's been clear to me how important my sleep is for my health. Not only can I get grumpy and irritated, but I also get more IBS and sometimes headaches. And of course I can't practice as often I want, and when, and only can get things done properly in the evenings, besides having to rest daytime and some days sleep in, to recuperate. As a little girl, my mother used to say she could set the clock according to my needs. I would be hungry at the hour e

Playing Mahjong
I've never been a fan of video games or the app kinds. In fact, I've never even downloaded any. Until now... I got curious when I saw an Instagram ad for the game Vita Mahjong, since my granddad used to have the real game with little ivory tiles neatly packed down in a briefcase. I always wondered about that game and thought the tiles were so pretty and peculiar. It was original and bought abroad. And now, I downloaded the app and play a little as a pause between my work on m

Happy World Press Freedom Day!
There is power in words. Already when I grew up, I was taught this and enabled to search and find my voice in writing early. My dad, who is an author and journalist, bought me my first typewriter at the age of ten, which also is when I first had a small short story published at the youth section in a local Swedish newspaper. My dad brought me there to see how it was printed and the process for its becoming. When I was 15 years old, I nagged my way into getting a job after sch

Dancing Duncan by the sea
Since I tried dancing a little Isadora Duncan by the ocean, when I was in Portugal 2019-20, I decided to give it a try here in Sweden too. I live across the road from the forest and the big inflow of water from the East Sea here, called Mälaren, so it’s been very comforting to be able to both sunbathe and take a dip during summers, as well as see the seasons change up close. While it’s not nearly warm enough yet, to do that, I went down today to dance instead. As with everyth

Speaking with presence
When I was a young adult, I often felt inclined to think about what I was going to say before meeting with someone. Likewise, I often questioned what had been said and done afterwards, and of course how. This could both be to share my love, and to question someone, possibly creating a conflict. Both these things show the same weakness. When we prepare what to say in our normal conversations (not lectures and presentations) and then do, we miss taking into account both how we

Reclaiming my voice, literally speaking
This past month, I've been working with a freelance assignment for an American business doing market research by phone in Sweden. I simply answered an ad on Instagram about making a study and was called a couple of days later. While as so often, the pre-set commission and salary was a little unrealistic, I gave it a go and got paid. Not only was the money very welcome after a rough winter with no social security to rely on, but it also gave me a blessing in disguise. I've wor

My bedtime story
Just like so many others, I too have had to deal with racing thoughts and trouble falling asleep, whenever I'm under attack by either Swedish authorities or my enemy, but I've developed a system to let go. Since I haven't had a permanent home for many years, my sleep is sacred. Not to be disturbed. Never to be questioned. (Unless in an emergency.) I have ever since my teenage years known that I perform the best when I get 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I can cope with only 7
