J as in Jean-Michel Jarre | #blog26 #wishlist

As I already have written in the warm-up of this blog challenge (in Swedish), which started June 26 on my 50th birthday, some of you might already know what would show up in “J” in my A to Z Wishlist. Jean-Michel Jarre – The Live Experience! I got introduced to Jean-Michel Jarre early on in my own personal “musical biography”. My uncle was a hardcore music addict as me, and I thank him for discovering alot of music during my upbringing. Jean-Michel Jarre was one of his findings in his search for the new and pioneering. 1976, the Jarre album…

H as in Hobby | #blog26 #wishlist

Mika captured by Karin today, at a BBQ invited by our friend Hanna and meeting some of her friends. In these days, with Football Male European Championships, this might be appropriate, ha ha! But seriously, Mika loves balls and getting them into move. But he also loves music and dancing – moving in his own style. And banging on things! But whatever he chooses coming to what he loves to do, I wish he does it independently out and from his own heart. His own hobby, his own passion, his own style and expression! And not end up being a…

E as in Extra Birthdays | #blog26 #wishlist

Yesterday we had a visit from our dear friend Hanna Ericsson! And I got an Extra Birthday celebration! She had the intention to join us on the very day, Sunday, but couldn’t come. So there we were, celebrating Wednesday as an Extra Birthday! I got a present, Hyperbole and Half by Allie Brosh, an Internet Sensation. From the little I read so far – HILARIOUSLY GREAT! Thank you, Hanna! We have 365 (or 366 as this year) days per year – to just pick some and celebrate just the fact that someone is born, lives and means deeply so much…

D as in Depeche Mode | #blog26 #wishlist

The blog challenge, beginning June 26, 2016, my 50th birthday, con’t. The ABC basics – check. As simple as 123? Maybe :). Aikido, Birthdays, Core. Enter – D! Musical experiences, bucket list, following the Grand Theme “Music For Health”. Depeche Mode! This is irrational, I agree. Not. Seen. Them. Yet! I have followed their music since the Just Can’t Get Enough days. From the very beginning! And I didn’t see them, live, back then. So. Modern times? Their last tour was 2013/14, passing Sweden. And they did headline Arvikafestivalen, 2009. No, no, no. Not! Well, I hope to see them…

B – as in Birthdays! (62!) | #blog26 #wishlist

I started yesterday with a blog challenge, with 26 wishes, from A to Z. It was my 50th celebration of earth rounds done around the sun, and now I feel being part of something I want to be in. The Wisdom Flow – for real. Maybe taken seriously, who knows? Anyways, now, it feels great! I am overwhelmed en masse from all the love bombing yesterday, primarily from my closest circle of family! Surreal, and so calm! You were there, so great, so full, so deep! Thank you Mika, Soto, Jippii, Deshi, Uchi, Nadine, Karin and Hedwig! Home, and then…

A – As in Aikido! | #blog26 #Wishlist

I have many things to thank for “keeping my flow, life and health”, through my 50 years (as of today). One of the core gratitudes is given to the Art of Aikido. Thus, when walking through a Blog Challenge Wishlist, A-Z, starting today, #blog26, I am not taking “A as in Anders” as a firsties. No, Aikido goes so far beyond my “ego” as I can imagine. Much of the experience of Aikido you cannot really express, and everyone practicing it have their own story to tell. I will not try to transfer it, since the more words I use,…

About Turning Fifty Rounds Around The Sun – Statement From A Train | #blog366 #SaturdayLove

Written off the grid at 1337 CEST on the Writer Android App, in the net shadows within the deep green ocean forestry of Värmland: “I am sitting on a train to pick up my daughter in Arvika. Tomorrow, I turn 50 years, according to SpaceLog Tellus. And there, I would like to focus this “statement”. I have defined away the “crisis” moment when counting decades. So irrelevant, unneccesary and stupid to live your life as-if turning these counts of orbital rounds around the sun should define when to really have a crisis in life? Let me tell you this instead:…
