When Santa came to us=)

Hi all and Merry x-mas=)

I hope you all have had a wonderful x-mas with nice family gatherings and good food and maybe even some gifts=)

I had a wonderful time and it was a nice relaxed x-mas at home with my mum and her lovely husband. We watched Disney cartoons at 15 o clock, that is a tradition here in Sweden. They show old and new cartoons with Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Robin Hood and many more and it lasts for an hour and I believe all of Sweden is seated in front of the TV`s at that time=)

Then we started to eat the lovely x-mas food and also here traditional x-mas food such as: sausages, meat balls, different herrings, eggs, a potato/ansjovis gratin called "Janssons frestelse", ham and for dessert we ate a dish called "Ris á la Malta" which is rise porridge with whipped cream in it and vanilla powder (or vanilla sugar if you eat sugar). Yum!

Then it knocked on the door and SANTA came! Whoop whoop for the kids=)

No tears from any of the children and Seth helped Santa to read on the packages. Mio and Nemo got lots of gifts and Santa got nice hugs from all the 3 kids and then the opening started. A super nice day and evening and as you all know I´ve met Santa before=) 

He´s such a nice one and lives in Rovaniemi in Finland so if you are in the neighborhood there, go visit him=)

Love and hugs!

I sat by my piano today and recorded my favourite song from The mocking jay=)

X-mas is around the corner and...

… think about that x-mas is NOT about all the gifts we are gonna get or give or the food we are gonna eat or make….it´s about LOVE and thinking of others. 

To show how much we care and love each other and also maybe to FORGIVE and move on if there are things unsolved.

For me, I have always thought x-mas has been hard and its mainly been since I´ve been a divorced child and my childhood x-mas´es was always about having to be at mum´s or dad´s place and when being with mum I missed dad and the opposite.

Then I got my first son and some years later I was a divorced mum and suddenly I had to share him with his dad. So every second year he is not with me and its hard even if I now have two more boys who always spend x-mas with me=)

X-mas is not a wonderful time for everyone. Divorced children may suffer, divorced parents too and then we have the children who need to spend x-mas with drunken parents and I can only imagine how that must be…

We also have all the families and children who can't spend a wonderful x-mas due to no money. Here in Sweden we have far to many children who won't get any x-mas gifts and it´s sad. Cause even if x-mas is about LOVE as a child the gifts are so important to get.

This year I am so blessed cause ALL my three boys will spend x-mas at home and my beloved mum with husband will spend it with us and I look forward to a nice x-mas eve with food and some nice gifts and to be together. To show each other we care about each other. 

So I wish for ALL to have a wonderful x-mas and I send lots of thoughts to the ones who will have a harder one. 

And I give you my favorite song from the new Hunger games movie that I cried when sitting in the cinema cause its so amazing=)

LOVE to you ALL!

One year transformation=)

Hi all,

Today I want to inspire to making a healthier life change and to understand that transforming a body and building muscles take time! No miracle fixing if you don't want to eat nothing, but consistency and discipline and hard work can make you change your body to a healthier and more toned one=)

Below is my own transformation in one years time and I´ve done cross fit regularly for the last year. Started out with 3 times a week and now I do 5-6 woods a week. When I started cross fit I almost died every wod and I didn't dare to do many of the exercises that I do today. My weight has changed and from last year I´ve lost 12 kilos in weight but thats not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I am strong and have muscles and not fat. 

I long to see where I am in 1 year from now=) 

Sometimes I need to stop for a minute...

…. and re-think how I think of things happening. 

It´s easy to sometimes fall into a negative way of thinking without realizing it and then when thinking negative start to question yourself, your life and what you can or can't do..

I am a positive person but sometimes I do dwell over things and now I´ve been in a state where I´ve been negative for some weeks and yesterday after a hard wod I, by an accident, found myself in a yoga class for the first time in years. I normally am to "stressed" to do yoga and such calmer things and prefer to do more hard active sports, but I decided I wanted to try it.

the class was great and then when we started to lie down for the relaxation and letting go of the tension and the coach played a song that chanted: Life is magnificent - hallelujah and so on with such lovely voices I felt how my muscles around my eyes and in my face started to get "tics" and jump around and I felt how STRESSED I am!

In that moment, a feeling of sadness came over me and I felt that: "now I´m gonna start to cry and can't stop!"

But I said to my inner self that it was ok to let the feelings come and that I needed them so I only had some tears falling during the relaxation and then afterwards I went home and put on the music from Buddha bar, jumped in to the bath tub surrounded with lit candles and in the water I talked to myself. I said to myself:

"- Dear Anette, its time to stop chasing around and try to do EVERYTHING at the same time. Its time to do one thing at a time and focus on that. Not do many things half-hearted but one thing and go in for it. And let go of the high demands to yourself. Let go of the feelings of being a loser at some things in life. YOU are not a loser, we all make mistakes but we learn from them. Move on, one step at a time and let the past go. AND start to do yoga every week, read good books about a positive life and embrace LOVE from the ones that love you. And don't give a fuck of the ones not loving you, let them go!"

So here I am:

Starting a new way of living and thinking again. 2015 will be the year when I think of who I am, what I want more carefully and not jump on every single thing that comes to me.

As I said to my mum some days ago:

I guess I will learn - eventually=)

Like a tree I grow and learn through life…

Love and hugs!
