For you, me, us.. about everything and nothing. I'm flying somewhere over the rainbow feeling a bit in love in the world and want to share it with you. Try to make your day better, make you let go of your head and just enjoy the ride with my favorite quotes, music or thoughts of the day. Read them, feel them, try not to think, just make it your own from your own experience, soul and heart, feel what it gives you. Let go of your ego and set your spirit free
Be aware of your breathing as often as you are able, whenever you remember. One conscious breath (two or three would be even better), taken many times a day is an excellent way of bringing space into your life.
Don't take yourself to seriously, take it easy, everything will be okey. Don't let choices ahead scare or confuse you, hope for the future, but try to live today. Right here, right now. Hope for the best and what ever you choose will help you in one way or another. Don't over think it. :) "Once you choose hope, ANYTHING is possible" - Christopher Reeve
It's always a good feeling when you know you are on the right track, live it and love it. But try to never let yourself get stuck, if you end up just standing there you'll get run over. In life I believe it's important to keep on walking on the right track, but of course take as many stop as you need to take a moment to observe what's going on and to ask yourself why you're on the way you are. From there, take what you learned and move on. Don't let anything hold you back.
Thank you sunset, for holding me with your warming colors. For showing me how light is one, connected with everything. Thank you for sharing your beauty in the salty mysterious water, the magical sky, the never ending trees, in his, in her and in my soul. You make me feel grounded, and really understand that everything that goes up has to come down. This is the time of the day, when I get the feeling of being completed, with you, with nature, with space and with myself. You make me realize that the day has come to an end, that a day is over, and that the time has come to someone else to have a new day, with a new beginning. Now, its their turn. Its about give and take, thats life, the ying and yang. That's one of the reasons why sunsets brings me peace, because it feels like I'm giving something. Something untouchable. With something incredible. To the people who wakes up to the same sun that just went down where I am, the sun that keeps on giving and giving and gets nothing back, I'm wishing for you to open up your hands to the sun as if you where its ground, hold it, like its holding you with it's warmth. Give a little back. Its a new day, feel gratitude, watch the sun goes up and be grateful for being able to begin a new day. And at every sunset, suddle down, be grateful for the day you had and ask yourself how and what do you feel right now? And as the sun goes down, be grateful for the people that's now waking up. Send some love, we are all under the same sun.
Felt like I needed some extra healing after a weekend with a couple unexpected news.
It's a new day, time is now and life might kick you at times, but it will never give you something you can't handle. It will always be okey, if you let it.
Ill start my day and week with a crazy dance all over the living room, I was even standing on the table. All by myself. I'm I crazy? Yes. Do I love it? Yes. Did it feel great? No, it felt absolutely amazing! Surprise yourself! Shake things of, spread some energy, it's okey to be childish!
Can jump around and dance to this song for so long! Makes me very happy and giving me the butterflies in my belly. This song means a lot to me, we were listening to and feeling it a lot on my teacher training.
Try it out! Put some colorful, comfortable clothes on, maybe grab some kind of maracas or a person. Dance like nobody is watching and sing out loud! Allow yourself to just have fun with yourself. It's okey!!
Tittar upp i himmelen ikväll, tänker på dig och din familj. Önskar jag va där hos och höll din hand, önskar vi alla var återförenade, i en varm ompysslande kram. Men vi är inom varandra, i vår hjärtan. Livet är en utmaning, och då och då sparkar livet till en. Men låt det inte sparka dig något annat än framåt. Du är stark, du är en solstråle som kommer lysa igenom detta också. Vi är alltid här som stöd, vi finns alltid här. All kärlek till dig min vän.

Don't let things you want make you forget about the beautiful things you've already have. If you ever get to greedy, take a moment, maybe a step aside and ask yourself if you really need it. Try to feel how important it is to you, understand how lucky you are to have the things you already have. And than maybe realize that you easy can dance yourself away from it. Everything is always a bit more fun with some dance moves.
WHO says that study can't be fun?! Rethink and redo your study habits, be creative, have fun with it. Don't take yourself to seriously, study with your friends, make study games, try to sum up a song about what you learned or maybe paint a big collage? "Learn more, share more"

My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

Pure sunset love with beautiful souls in Costa Rica!
Pappa, min förebild, bästa vän och glädje. Vart jag än i livet är håller du alltid mig kär, du tror på mig som ingen annan även fast vi är långt ifrån varann. Jag tänker på dig ofta, längtar efter att se dig i din norske yllekofta. Att vara din dotter är jag stolt över, du är en trygghet jag behöver. Är så lyckligt lottad av allt gott du givit mig, att du lärt mig att allt alltid kommer vara okej. Att som barn fått vakna upp av en sådan god person, med en energi och tacksamhet varenda morgon är värt så mycket mer än en biljon. Du är unik och med din kärlek gör du mig rik. En rikedom av äkta glädje, värme och upptacksamhet. Som varje dag ger mig hopp om frihet. Du finner alltid ro när morgonen gryr, när den för många andra fort flyr. Att ta vara på dagen påminner du mig om, att man inte behöva ha så bråttom. Du och mamma har skapat miraklet familjen Gröndahl, vi fem tillsammans är en dansande spiral. Spelar ingen roll hur många cirklar vi måste gå, för vi finner alltid vad vi vill nå. Trots att vi är på olika ställen så ska du veta att jag är med dig där i cellen. Snart tar du steget ut och en börda börjar gå mot ett slut. Jag älskar dig så mycket,
Och önskar dig med all kärlek en god födelsedag, som vi snart ska fira med ett fadderundrans drag!
Grattis min favorit!

I am so grateful of what life taught me, and brought me. A bit less than 2 years ago I took a little step closer to something called Yoga. Not a religion, it the science of religions, the crystallized truth. I began to practice it before I started work in the mornings in beautiful Antibes on the sun deck at sunrise with my dear friend Paige. It was my favorite part of the day. She was the one who introduced me to yoga, we supported each other, and she was about to do her teacher training course. Now it's my turn, now I'm about to leave. She was here in Fort Lauderdale the this week, haven't seen her in a years time before the other day. Yesterday she told me that she left something for me in the Bahia Mar hotel reception when she left this morning, something she wanted me to have.
In the package was her favorite poem "Song of the soul" that she read when she taught her very first yoga class on her training and she's been keeping it with her ever since. And this incredible person gave it to me and hoped it will bring me what it to brought her.
She also gave me her little happy Buddha, that she kept with her on her training and practice. He is the supreme signal of joy, well being, vision of happiness and is used as an enhancer in attaining all areas of positive aspirations.
She also wanted me to have her bookmark from Costa Rica that she used under her studies to keep track of where she was. Must say that I am very thankful that YOU of all people was with me of the beginning of my yoga journey. She said the other day, that yoga and I would have found each other even if it wasn't for me going to Antibes, looking for a job, found Paige and so on. Which might be true, but I am very grateful it turned out the way it did, that life gave me that, and that you, my dear, beautiful creature of happiness invited me to join you. You have affect my journey, THANK YOU for sharing your gifts, being who you are, always making me laugh and thank you for your caring for people, you want people to be happy, you do bring them joy, you have such a big heart and a kind soul.
You are my little happy Buddha, you bring energy, wealth and joyful blessing anywhere you are placed. Grateful life brought me to you when it did.
Believe that every tree, spirit and creature has as much right to live as you do. Believe that you were born with love, to help others and looks upon creation with eyes of love. Believe that you are here for a good reason, that your life is linked with others and that you can bring more happiness into life. Be proud and believe in yourself, put others before your own more often and become a source of joy to all you meet.

My best friend, love and soulmate is flying to Australia today, we are gonna be away from each other for a whole month! :O We have never been apart for that long, we are not really that kind of texting, sms and so on couple. Haha! Anyway, if we are able to live upon each other 24/7 I'm sure we will be able to spend some time apart. It will be a challenge BUT also bring a bit of a change in my everyday life, and change is always good! "Life don't get better by chance it get better by change".
A dry riverbed winds its way through a deep valley. Without water, the river has little effect upon the gravel bed or the rocks and boulders in its path. When the river flows with water, then and only then does it have power to change and to carry things from one place to another. The river can now move rocks, wear away at boulders, and even change its course, cutting into and altering the surrounding banks. In the same way, asanas do not transform the body until we can effectively move force through them. When we align ourselves in a asana we find a harmonious realationship between the parts of the body so that force can be conducted into, through and beyond the body into space. It will open spaces between joints, elongates muscles, and clear a pathway for energy to flow freely. We need to flow with our breath, not only on your mat, practice it all the time, in your everyday life. Take yoga with you everywhere you go, follow your breath. When you feel confused or hurried, take a minute to still still and be with your breath. As you breathe, count down from ten to one on each exhalation. Imagine yourself returning back to your center as you do so.
