Do you remember that movie with Kevin Spacey where a boy decides to start repaying good deeds with good deeds done to new people? Fascinating idea you might say but that’s not how the world works. Granted that’s not how the world works. But what if it was? What if we decided to skip the ulterior motives? To not expect...
Children are naturally inquisitive. Living with three little beautiful human beings has forced me to answer a lot of questions. Questions that I’ve never thought of myself. Answers that I’ve considered to be a given. My children keep on asking. One question leading to the next. All of a sudden I find I am not so sure anymore. Is it...
The human brain is excellent at pattern recognition. You know all those tests on Facebook where you are supposed to find the hidden text? Or texts where the middle part of words are removed leaving only the beginning and the end? Your brain is able to read that text because of its pattern recognition ability.

Another change that I made to my life the last year is breaking free from the to-do lists. Those lists that never ever end. When you cross out one to-do, two new...
Now I’ve officially taken on the 500 word challenge! A bit scary. Putting myself out there for the first time. One of the rules is no editing so bear with me if this doesn’t come out perfect. I’ve made some significant changes to my life during the last year. Or perhaps I should say we, since my husband is with...
My worst critic is myself. I can really make myself feel miserable. As if I’m never going to accomplish things in life. As if I’m forever going to be stuck at a job. Work until 75 (to finance the retirement system we are going to be forced to work to a much older age than today). Retire and then die 3...
