How I have enjoyed to this writing course again. Knowing the questions from last time makes me feel more confident in responding. Last time I did the writing101 course our internet router crashed just in the last week of the course. It stressed me to go to the library attempting to finish the course there, missing my good chair and the English spelling […]
Last night I did something new! I took part in a muddy night trail race arranged by “Runners’ Corner” my favorite shop on running shoes and everything connected to running in my home town Herning in Denmark. It was barrier breaking for me being more like an orienteering race where each participant had to use a map and find the 7 posts […]
“Mine your own material” Day 16 in our writing 101 course: I did a post on IKEA recently and I was asked to show my readers what effect that has on my home. Thank you for the idea Janelle! Many people love to hate IKEA. I don’t because I have good memories about getting something nice that I could afford. I […]
As a response to today’s assignment I would like to tell you a story from our national fairytale author Hans Christian Andersen. The story is called “It’s a true story” and takes place during 24 hours in different poultry runs in a village. At the village, where the incident did not happen, some hen said to each other : A terrible […]

I started to blog one and a half-year ago, writing from my heart on different subjects, challenged by the different writing and blogging courses from WordPress. Through all the years I […]
As a participant of the writing course 101 we are asked to make an update via writing about having coffee with a friend.

I enjoy more and more to read blogs and get to know the fellow bloggers I have come across. It helps me to remember you when I systematize in a post after blog content. I have a mixture of many subjects I write about and I admire those of you who can concentrate on one big subject. This post is the third in […]
"Here lived" in respons to and old Talmud saying " A person is only forgotten if he is NOT mentioned" the German artist Gunther Demnig strives to make a stumbling stone in the side walk of as many Nazi victims as possible at their last home.
Day 5 in the writing course 101 I will combine with my Friday Devotional Event. From the Old Testament Psalm 126:5 They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing That verse has often given me hope and confidence to continue the good fight whatever circumstance I have been in.

For my story about my relation to the huge Swedish furniture concern I wanted to find a special picture from an IKEA catalog from 1969. On the front page was a picture of a ship’s couch.
