is sooo important. But I feel slightly put off when I find my self in the position of not having access to my bathroom for 2 whole days since they are sorting out the plumbing where my flat is!
I called a friend and have crashed her place keeping the cat company during the day today. Turns out its a good thing to be able to go to the bathroom... since there are no bushes in the city :)
Haha... wonder how to turn these two days into the best they can be?

A wet dream for a theology student
My day has been spent inside a big pile of theology books... I am not kidding when I say that I have discovered at least 8 different people in 3 generations back on the inside of the book covers. I have discovered over 10 different bible translations and LOADS of reference books. So if anyone wants to study the scripture, this is the perfect place to be I guess.
At least my job for today is over, a library has been created for my father and now I am heading to a friends place to watch Greys Anatomy...

A day on the countryside
Waking up one can see the signs of the warthogs outside the garden, driving to town we first saw a few deer... then we saw and elk and her calf! Texting a message to our german friends who eagerly look for them each time they are here we wanted to share the moment :)
After a few hours in town running erends we headed home again to deal with our projects for the week! Even on the way back we saw deer... gosh they're all over the place this time of year.
Just had a nice morning in front of the fire and had breakfast, the wind is blowing outside, it's a classic autumn day...

MY STORY
A determined and involved person who loves a challenge is one way of defining me. I find joy in involvement and satisfaction in achieving goals.
Organizational development makes me tic, I love finding new systems and solutions to problems that exist within an organization. The challenge lies in simplifying the daily work routines for staff as well as creating room for the organization to perform at a maximum.
With part of my upbringing abroad the ability to quickly adjust to new surroundings and circumstances has come naturally. Using this ability in combination with my social personality creates an extreme “people person” as my last boss chose to describe me. I like bonding with people, creating new contacts not only to develop myself, but also the organization that I work for.
I have made a point of working through my years as a student trying to bring something from each place I have been given the opportunity to learn from. The relatively short time spans that I have had at each employment since graduating is due to the difficulty of finding relevant jobs within the current Swedish market. I see that holding temporary positions early in my carrier has been an opportunity in disguise allowing me to gather experience from different positions.
My latest position started at Travelstart as an executive assistant to Stephan Ekbergh in Cape Town, South Africa and in spring 2008 I transferred to the Swedish office where I worked till end of April 2009.
For a full CV please email me and I will send it through to you.
Warm Regards

wow - it works :)
Last Saturday morning was spent with friends and a pancake breakfast. However this was not the best part of the day, but instead the best was provided by one of the kids.
A 2.5 year old was shown that one can feel a persons heart and that one can listen. Of course it was amazing, and she needed to make sure we all had hearts she could feel...
After each and every one of us had pulled t-shirts up and let her feel and investigate, it came to the turn of her mother. The little girl put her hand on her mothers chest, then lent in and listened... After which she excitedly exclaimed "Wow - it works!"
Lets get amazed by something obvious today... cause there are lots of things that we need to say "wow - it works!" about.

Chicken soup
At home with a high fever, a runny nose, runny eyes and a sore throat... Having a hard time focusing my thoughts that keep lingering towards someone ringing on my door with chicken soup... why does that only happen in the movies... I need to make supper...

Count your blessings
I'm in my couch, resting, watching the big bang theory, getting some cheap laughs, and feeling totally relaxed!
It seems far too easy to get caught up with the small negatives in life and focus on all the things that don't go our way! I decided to see the other side of the coin and instead count my blessings and see where that leaves me...
So I took the time tonight after an amazing weekend with good old friends to sit down and focus on the blessings in my life... and they are truly many!!! From the obvious things like I have food on the table, a roof over my head and heating indoors! To the fact that I am extremely blessed with friends that I love and trust, and not only in one place but all over the country and basically all over the world! I have an amazing family, parents, siblings, cousins and extended family whom I love dearly. I have got sooo much in my life it feels blasphemous to complain about anything!
Sure there are things I want to change in my life and there are things that need to change... But tonight I choose to focus on the blessings in my life and lay my head down to rest with a smile on my face :)
Don't forget to count your blessings... I promise they are more than you think ;)
