New courses

So it was the evening of yet another good day. I was at school from early morning till after lunch. A very lovely friend drove with me to school, which is about half an hour. She is the girlfriend to one of my closest partners from the Innovation studies. We always have nice chat on the way to and from school, so she’s just a delight.
At school we got to meet two new teachers, one in a course on business communications, which has both oral and written parts, and all the lectures are in English. The other new teacher we met today has lectures on communications theory, which is a part of a bigger course that also includes digital communications. All in all an interesting day at school today.
Today I also made an enquiry on a job that I’ve applied for, and would really like to get. I got quite a positive response there, so I’m looking forward to find out more before the weekend. Until then, there are always courses both Thursday and Friday, and a whole bunch of assignments to figure out.
Besides all of this I’ve had the pleasure of having nice conversations with both a good friend, and my kids. It pleases me to see that they’re all figuring it out and feeling better and better every day.

A good tuesday

Today was the first proper day at school, at a new faculty. This time studying International Communication, and really looking forward to it all. I think the courses so far are interesting, and the class feels like a bunch of nice positive people. We’re going to learn to make simple web-pages, and I think that is quite exciting. Also there is a strong emphasis on English and on communication in general.


When I came home, I got a phone call from a good friend, who I haven’t met for quite some time. She invited me to join her on a short trip over the border to Sweden, so off we went. It was the most wonderful trip, as it always is when we are together.

Bonus number two came when I logged on Facebook, and found out that a new video from Abraham-Hicks was posted today. After watching it, I decided to share it with you guys!




I found it rewarding to watch, as the information is quite profound. If you don’t like it, no hard feelings! However, if you think this was interesting stuff, you can find out more at their own website.

Lazy day

Today has been a quite peaceful and laid-back day. No big happenings, and that suits me just fine. I’ve spent the day watching house-makeover programs and movies on TV and listened to Abraham some. I’ve also had a nice talk to my 10 year old, about allowing others to be their own people, and how her happiness comes from her, and not from other people doing what she’d like them to do. This afternoon I had a long talk with my neighbor about life and Abraham’s approach to emotions and the emotional scale. Then tonight I had a nice talk with my sister on the phone about feeling good and allowing.


I’m so lucky to have so many people around me to discuss life and all its variety with.
Got to smile and feel the gratitude now.

I’m really looking forward to the first real days at school, and to find out what the courses are all about. Also, this week I hope to hear more from at least two employers about work, and starting on some paperwork at the job where I’m the director/manager.

Until tomorrow… Ta-ta!

Some development in my world

There’s a really long time since I last wrote a blog post. In fact, it’s been so long that I’ve felt somewhat disencouraged about writing. But since I’ve started, that’s all water under the bridge. To make a long story short, I’ll just make a list of what I recall of the last few months.

JUNE:
  • I finished my bachelors degree in Technological Innovation and Entrepreneurship after 3 years of studying at an Engineering school. (Here is link to our project)
  • I was at two interviews for work, but didn’t get any of them. One was for a hotel director and the other was logistics director at a refugee camp. Neither was a dream workplace, but could have been good challenges.
  • I searched for job online and my main focus was on feeling good and relaxing.
  • We had 2 weeks of intense heat, so we spent a few days at the beach.

JULY:
  • My oldest sister came from Sweden to stay with me and my kids, searching for work in Norway.
  • The theme of the month was: “Focus and feel good”.
  • I kept applying for jobs, without any results. Due to summer vacation, there were not many jobs available. I’m glad I’ve had the time to relax this summer, I really needed it.
  • I started up a “club” for a few of the students from school, to help each other keep up good moods and positivity while looking for work. We also want to help one another with other things, or even start a business project together.
  • I’ve spent quite a few days making jewelry, and a good friend of mine is getting some of it to sell at her website.

AUGUST:
  • My brother and his wife came to visit from Iceland, and I got to go with them to a business meeting here, with a company that I had helped them to get in contact with. They are now preparing import to Iceland from that corporation.
  • I was asked to become the director for a company that is to import alcoholic drinks from Iceland to Norway. Since this is a company that has not worked on this before, I would need to work on this process part time for several months before seeing any paycheck. I said yes.
  • I have been offered two different tasks as a counselor for companies. One is assisting someone who is exporting an idea to an Icelandic high-tech company, and the other is an Icelandic company who wants to explore the possibility to open a department in my area.
  • I have applied for a job, working side by side with one of my best friends.
  • I have been to an interview for a job that is the kind of job that I wanted to have before I started on my bachelor studies.
  • I applied for school, for “International Communication” and got in. School has started for both me and the kids and it looks really good. I might have to put school on hold though, if my work hours crash with classes, as earning money comes first now.


I’ve also stayed in touch with my friends, and family. Three of my friends have had babies this summer, all of them beautiful and healthy boys.
Every day this summer I’ve listened to Abraham for several hours, and the result is:

I feel better being me than ever before.

Now, my goal for this blog is to write a little bit every day about what’s going on, as well as linking this blog to what I'm uppto. As you can see from this, a lot has happened, and I’m sure there’s some stuff I’ve left out.

I hope you leave a comment if you please.

Enjoy, feel good and relax!
