Søndag 31. mars 2013. The Value of Sharing. Some mothers have taken the concept of sharing. A bit too far. The other day, a little girl had brought her doll stroller to the playground, and my son was really envious. It had handles and wheels and it was easy to push around, a concept he is very fascinated by these days. So he tried to borrow it. But the girl started whining "Nooo! As he approached and he decided to back off. Her mother got involved and said "Yes, yes, you have to share. At the playground,...

hverdagen: What you pay for
http://marwinna-hverdagen.blogspot.com/2013/05/what-you-pay-for.html
Tirsdag 21. mai 2013. What you pay for. A price is not a price. My son and I went to the doctors office for the 18-month visit the other day. We pay out of pocket when we are there because this office doesn't accept our insurance. But our insurance accepts that we go there and usually reimburses our expenses. When we got to the check-out, the cashier recognized us and whispered: "are you still self-paid? I couldn't hear her properly so I said: "I'm sorry . What? Will your insurance reimburse all of it?

Fredag 28. juni 2013. Today I met a beggar. He wasn't a beggar, he said. He wasn't asking for money. He was just hungry, and asked if I could help him buy some food. That's equalent to asking for money, I thought. Actually it is asking for a lot more than a spare of change. He was probably around my age. From Porto Rico, he told me later, but his English was very good. He said he had three children, no job and had just come out of the hospital. "Life is tough," he said. He demanded, and I ordered one for...

hverdagen: Flowers for Boston
http://marwinna-hverdagen.blogspot.com/2013/04/flowers-for-boston.html
Onsdag 17. april 2013. Almost two years ago when I heard a bomb go off in Oslo, I immediately thought of the construction work down the road. It didn't cross my mind that this loud bang in my safe and tranquil hometown could be a massive bomb that had just killed and injured a lot of innocent people. No cause in this world can defend killing children. The action is cynical, ruthless and disgustingly cowardly. And tragically, it seems to be catching on among insane extremists. One of the goals the terrori...

Fredag 8. november 2013. Where does all this energy come from? Maybe I just forgot what it feels like to be in a good flow, and the contrast to having lost the thread is so striking. Or maybe a break from the flow is good, it forces me to reset, reevaluate and search both in my own repertoire and outside for sparks and inspiration. And of course a good cup of coffee while people-watching is like a having a creative conference with yourself. But I already talked about that. Linker til dette innlegget.

Søndag 11. august 2013. I remember summers lasting an eternity when I was a kid. Weeks and weeks (probably days, but I remember them as weeks) barefoot in the moist long grass in the mountains in Valdres, totally free to go wherever and do whatever. Sometimes my dad went out on the lake with the rowing boat and a fishing net to catch trout. He went out in the evening when the wind caused ripples on the surface of the lake. "When the water is quiet, the fish can see the net," he told me. We go swimming in...

Mandag 26. september 2011. The days are slowly passing by as due date is getting closer and pregnancy discomforts are requiring more and more attention. People are asking "when are you due? Boy or a girl? How are you doing? And life seems to be all about baby and belly at the moment. But sometimes something happens which snaps you right out of the drowsy baby-state of mind, like when husband calls home to say he just crashed his motorbike. Helge was lucky this time. His helmet has scratches, which me...
