Message in a mirror
Some days, seems as though I come across the same message or at least ideas and thoughts around a certain theme or issue. As if there is something I need to learn or grasp and universe persists on it. Yesterday I came across the following either in the press, social media or art: a. Friends…

Gentry escapism
I had to go to a very old part of my city, which would normally be considered dodgy. I went there under that assumption: it would be dirty, dodgy, unsettling to walk around and miserable. It was nothing but. New flat developments have been erected and artisanal this and artisanal that were everywhere. At first,…

Winning?
By profession but also as part of life I negotiate a lot. I almost never accept the first offer and push other people to do same when asked for advice or support. Have gone through some training, have practiced a lot but still have not cracked it all. I could never teach negotiations for instance…

”back to office”
I receive a ton of ad emails with this title now that we get into autumn. They are trying to sell me suits, leather goods that are office appropriate and everything that comes with it. I must admit though that (a) quite a few people work from home a lot – so maybe they are…

The easy No
Whilst on holiday back home this summer, I remembered a recipe by my granny that I had not had in a very long time. It’s super simple and easy and I wanted to experience it again under the sun and the breeze you find in the Mediterranean. It involves going to a bakery and buying…
