Carrie, as Leia you were one of my childhood heroes | #blog366

I am very very sad tonight. When I had Mika in my arms tonight, listening to the Star Wars main theme as lullaby, my mind went far far out in our galaxy. My eyes landed on a star just above the rooftop. I thought. Are you there now, in your eternal Alter Ego – General “I do not take any shit” Leia Organa?  Yes. From Princess to General. You came, and you owned.  Wherever you are now, Carrie Fisher. The Force is with you, and now, you are one with The Force. Rest in peace, in and with It. All…

№ 24 – The Day | #blogg24

The little blog challenge, counting down days to xmas, final day! #blogg24 ending with a traditional family photo we usually do. With Nadine in Norway and three cats upstairs at Karin’s mum Hedwig’s house and hard to get in one pic, it ended up with the three of us here. So. Hope you had a great day and night! We did. Good night!

№ 2 – The Core | #blogg24

Second of 24 postings, counting down to Christmas. The core. The things that defines you. The most important.

Do. With the practice, I keep centered and…

A reflection of my name. The Anders’es on Google Images. Anders is derived from greek ‘man/human’. Sometimes, very hard to live up to. Wonder if these experience/d the same. Where, a rhyme, not intended, wondering, if they wonder’d: “What’s in a name?”. Happy Name’s Day, all Anders’es, wherever!

Mika 18 months! | #blog101 #MikaTheHero

Today, Mika turned 18 months. 1 point 5 years. 547 days. And growing! Here he is at our city library, again. We just love it. And hope, that he will grow on loving the temple of books and other media. The public sphere, with access to knowledge and stories of all kind. Here he showed some slices of his radiant charming personality. Playing peek-a-boo with some tween girls around 10yo. Making them laugh. Giggling himself. Before, we went to the first visit at the dentist, just an introductory small check, and general info. All things OK. After, we went to…
