A New Beginning! (When mishappens turn out to be a blessing in disguise)

Sometimes you know you need to make a change, but somehow you just keeps putting that thing off… until something happens.

I’ve been wanting to do a makeover of this website for a long time, or possibly get rid of it altogether, but never came around to fixing it. Then one day a few weeks ago I got some help from the universe. My site crashed and disappeared – and it seems like I didn’t have a backup. It would probably be possible to somehow recover it – but instead, I decided to take it as a much-needed nudge to finally make that long-needed makeover.

I first created this website in 2012, just at the brink of graduating from the coach training for Barbara Sher I’d been doing. That’s almost exactly 7 years ago. The time it takes from a child is born until it starts school – well at least in Sweden that’s the age we start school.

A LOT of things have happened in these 7 years. As for one thing, the baby I was 5 months pregnant with at the time has grown to a quite amazing girl who will – such a coincidence! -start school in a few months. Her brother is already in second grade. I’m no longer a sleep-deprived zombie who needs to watch every step my children takes – my boy walks alone to school, I can leave the kids alone at home while going to the supermarket, knowing that they can take care of themselves for a while.

But most of all I have realized that I need to respect my own dreams and confront my own fears. And my well-hidden dreams was pretty much about one thing: to make music. To sing, to play, to write songs. The fears that were stopping me actually even to admit those dreams where huge. They are still strong. But hey, we don’t live forever!
