WONDERFUL WINTER DAY


The last couple of day have been fantastic winter days.

Blue sky, sunshine and no wind.

Olivia wanted to ride out (on her Sunshine) and we also brought with us, her dog Twittie. Twitte is a dog Olivia rescued from a shelter were 500 dogs sat and the adoption rate was a couple of dogs a year. Olivia was only four years old when she adopted Twittie, but showed us all how responsible she already was back then. She has always been there for her dog.



Twittie is to left behind the Pony.

THIS WEEKS COLUMN ABOUT LIFE, DARKNESS AND LIGHT

Nedan ar den pa svenska, eller klicka in har till Tidningen Nara


The Darkness is the Light's Way of Preparing us for Something Beautiful

Animals and children are our great teachers of wisdom.
Their wisdom is always spot on, and inspiring.
It was the day before Christmas Eve two years ago; my daughter Olivia broke her femur in a riding accident. Weeks turned into months as Olivia was home alone in her home.
The school did not support her, despite pressure from me. Relatives and friends were far away! It was a hard dark time, with pain and tears.
"Mom, it hurts to live! "Olivia said one morning.
As mom it made extremely painful to hear those words. We talked about that after the darkness comes the light, and not to try to lose hope.
One day asked Olivia me to drive her to the stable where the accident had occurred. She went to the big beautiful horse. ' "It was not your fault and I do still love you!"
The place where the accident had happened sat deep within her, like a vicious thorn in the heart.
We decided to search for a new riding school. We found one that was not far from our home. There was a beautiful sand-colored (palomino)  pony named Sunshine. Olivia and he hit it off immediately. Never before had I seen a horse and rider become so attached to each other that quickly.
I looked up to the Universe and smiled.
"Mom, do you remember the day when we talked about never losing our hope when it feels dark. Not to see an accident as only something negative. " said Olivia
I recalled a message from a street dog that reminded of what Olivia said.
To my luck, I found my notes from the time I met the homeless dog.
Most people are afraid of pain, but they also fear facing their fellow beings pain. They many times flee and judge it to maybe, it can be a drama they do not want to be involved in. A person's pain is not only his or her lesson; it is everyone's lesson. It shows if you are judgmental and walks away, or if you are the one who helps. A lesson is not only negative, but if the fear comes in, it will become negative.

That's Amore!

Mörkret är Ljusets sätt att förbereda oss för något vackert

Djur och barn är fantastiska lärare. Deras visdom är alltid klockren och inspirerande.
Det var dagarna innan julafton för snart två år sedan som min dotter Olivia bröt lårbenet i en ridolycka. Veckor blev till månader som Olivia tvingades ligga ensam i sitt hem.
Skolan stöttade inte henne trots påtryckningar från mig. Släkt och vänner fanns långt borta! Det var en svår mörk tid, med smärta och tårar.
”Mamma, det gör ont att leva! ” sa Olivia en morgon.
Som mamma gjorde det oerhört ont att höra de orden. Vi pratade om att efter mörkret kommer ljuset, om att försöka att inte förlora hoppet.
En dag bad Olivia mig köra henne till stallet där olyckan hade inträffat. Hon gick fram till den stora vackra hästen. ’”Fina du, det var inte ditt fel och jag älskar dig fortfarande!” sa hon.
Platsen för olyckan hade satt djupa spår inom henne, som en ond tagg i hjärtat.
Vi bestämde oss för att söka efter en ny ridskola. Vi hittade en som inte låg långt ifrån vårt hem. Där fanns en vacker sandfärgad ponny vid namn Sunshine. Olivia och han fann varandra direkt. Aldrig förr hade jag sett ett ekipage vara så sammansvetsade som de två.
Jag tittade upp mot Universum och log. 
”Mamma kommer du ihåg den dagen då vi pratade om att aldrig förlora hoppet när det känns mörkt. Att inte se en olycka endast som något negativt.” sa Olivia
Jag mindes ett budskap från en gatuhund som påminde om vad Olivia sagt.
Till min lycka hittade jag noteringarna från den hemlösa hunden.
De flesta människor är rädda för smärtan, men ni är även rädda inför era medmänniskors smärta. Ni flyr undan många gånger och dömer det till att det kan vara ett drama ni inte vill bli involverade i. En människas smärta är inte endast deras lärdom, det är allas lärdom. Det visar om ni är fördömande och ryggar, eller om ni är den som hjälper. En lärdom är inte endast negativ, men om rädslan träder in, blir den till negativ.


Med dessa ord vill jag, Olivia, Max, vår Sunshine passa på att önska er underbara läsare en riktigt God jul och ett Magiskt 2017.
That’s Amore!



CHRISTMAS MARKET in GERMANY


Amazing Christmas Markets in Germany. There are so many to chose between. This year we chose a castle up on a Mountain. It was incredible beautiful.

It kept me thinking though how people back at that time got all food and drinks up. It was steep!
Gladly, we got to say hello to St Nicholas.
Crowded.


Me and handsome boy, Max,

It was very cold and windy, but the well tasted glue wine tasted much better then.

That's Amore!

STRONG FROM THE PAST

                     

                                                     I have never met a strong person
                                                     that has had an easy past.

SANTA CAME EARLY THIS YEAR


I always say that there is no Christmas without a book (or several books) I always love to open up one book at December 23. In Sweden we call that day for Little Christmas. In southern Sweden was it the day before Christmas, and people were allowed to taste a small amount of food from the up-coming Christmas table.

I invented myself that we could open one Christmas present the day before Christmas. However, this year I couldn't wait. When the books came from Amazon, I opened it up.

I had also totally forgotten that I ordered Vegan Jerky. Spicy and Smokey!
My children and our Dentist loves me extra these days. I baked chocolate chip cookies, and made hot chocolate with mint, marshmallows and on top with vegan whip cream --I have to say, we love Vegan whip cream  more than the "normal" whip cream.
We already jump started our Christmas celebration . "Why not enjoy everything as many days as possible", tells the little child inside of me.

That's Amore!

I AM A WARRIOR


Ones I was a victim, 

after hard work I turned around to become a survivor.

Now, I am a Warrior.

Every child should feel safe in their home(s) 

Alla barn måste fa kanna sig säkra i sina hem! 

HELPING THE KIDS WITH THEIR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS


"I am not good of wrapping Christmas presents, however, I can unwrap them quickly!"

Chacha rescue dog has her own way in this household of 12 dogs. The other 11 dogs would let go of the the present when I would tell them. But not Chacha, she becomes more determent to keep it.

Kids howling and Mom yelling. Thats the Christmas spirit in our home right now!

SPIRITUAL FEATHER




After the fire the feathers that I had received every day were gone. I thought to myself,  perhaps my Guardian Angels took a break after rescuing my home, and 12 dogs.

Three weeks from no feathers, until last Sunday when I climbed out of my car. It was pitch-black, but I saw it immediately between my feet. There, the gorgeous feather laid.

I have faith in Life and Universe.

That's Amore

DECEMBER 1


Unbelievable day today. Happy December 1!

Incredible wonderful weather today!

6 C and sunny, no wind. It was magic walking through the woods. Some birds were singing beautiful up in the tree tops. We felt free and the mind felt free!

Olivia and I said, making turns;

Look what God created
Look what Universe created
Look what Holly Spirit kept
Look what Mother Nature is all about
Look at ArchAngel Michael is protecting
Life is wonderful when you see the holiness
That's Amore!
