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!
