Norwegian bliss

As I find my way into White Knight, slowly handing over my other job to someone far more competent and excited about it, I feel a strange urge to not talk about it. How do you tell those who are still looking, still trying, still not in the right place at the right time that you've been given your dream job? I fin it hard. On the one hand I work harder than most, I take one every challenge I get and I look for more things to learn, more things to do all the time. I do deserve the opportunity, but I wish others around me where getting what they deserve as well. 

But it would be worse if I didn't know how luck I am, how blessed I have been. It would have been worse if I didn't listen but paraded good news around. I really don't want to do that, but I am excited and happy and I will share it all here as no one reads this if they don't want to know.

Funny though how some types of friends are only around when things go bad,when they can be the strong one or the better one. Being happy, it seems, is a good way to loose friends. Or some types anyway

I'm home in Norway at the moment and I'm having a lovely time with family. I'll be singing on Saturday, with a really great norwegian artist (Age Steen Nilsen) and my old choire as well as my Dads orchestra. It gonna be awesome! And when I go back I'm gonna miss people here a lot, thanks to everyone I've seen and will see. I miss geekyness and quirkyness and good coffee. And my lovely family. I hope everyone in the UK is gonna treat their dads on Fathers Day coming up. Anyone have a really good way to do that?

Be well,God bless

As He moved me

It's been a while since I've taken time out to write something here but these last few days the world has moved underneath my feet and I have to share it, I have to tell.

Some time ago, about a week, I went to Preston to meet the founder of White Knight, a company that does a very broad kind of financial advise, everything to new training and networking to cost analysis and advice. I hope that I could become part of their portfolio, part of what they offer the businesses when they help them. But higher powers had different plans for me

Saturday I spent 7 hours talking to R.Walsh, the founder, and we shared a very special day.He is a wonderful man, very wise and in full connection with God, as well as being an extremely capable business man. And for one reason or the other he really likes me. Unlike most men I have met this week, most of which pay more attention to my skirt or cleavage, he cares only for what I have to offer as a person. I'm hard working, out going, inventive, capable and a fast learner. In addition I know my stuff and if I don't I go find it gladly. And he sees all that, and more potential than anyone I've ever met. We share many views about religion as well, we both would like it to be a major part  in our lives, but still do business to earn money. Fact is that being wealthy enables you immensely, and the sooner you realize the more focused you can be. However, I would not go for the money, secretly being a bohemian, but for what I can do with it and I think many feel disappointed, thinking money in it self is going to make you happy when what you spend it on is just as essential as actually getting it.

And so I feel like I'm bursting, like the world is moving beneath my feet to give room for this new oath that have appeared in front of me and I don't really know how to celebrate enough. Honestly, I have lost a lot of friends and pissed off a lot of family by being who I am, whether that is having hope or simply getting results from hard work, but in this job it will finally pay off to be me, in every single way and I think I will grow and develop to a whole new level given the opportunity.

Many shy away from talk of God, especially if they don't believe themselves, but fact is I would not be anything like me without my sturdy faith. My confidence is not in my own person you see, its in the powers behind me, then ones that enable me and bless me with opportunity. That's why you could ask me anything and I will say I can do it. I will win a Nobel Peace prize and I will make a difference. The day I'm right I will put my hands up and tell the world where it all came from. I'm a vessel, a tool, a great one at that and I will never stop being grateful for my gifts and chances to succeed. Now I will work hard but not stress, I will try but put my faith in higher powers and find some way to share it all with everyone around me

If there is anything I can do for you then let me know and I will gladly put in a good word ;)

Oh,and hearing Jason Mraz' "I'm yours" from a Christian perspective gives the song a whole different depth. I recommend it
