Words and Reflections
Hi, tomorrow, January 1st, is just another day, but, at the same time, it's everything but. Every year, I use the ending weeks to make a quick look-back with the intention to then, based on my experiences, good and not-so-good, make a reset and turn my gaze forward. I look for words that reflect how I want to feel and that I wish to be inspired by in the new year.
2022 was the year:
I got a permanent position at the Academy of Music in Oslo
Established the duo DVE with the fabulous dancer Pauline Reibell with whom I have worked closely throughout the year, and that has become a dear friend too.
I gave myself some short periods of Solitude in my beloved hometown Stockholm.
I remade my website to reflect my decision to focus my energy more on playing than teaching. Playing has always been my number one, but, especially during covid, I pushed on to make a living by being a dedicated teacher.
I allowed myself a short vacation in the summer and during Christmas.
I fell back into some less good patterns of mine. I might share more of this later, but to do that, I need time to heal first.
...
My words for 2023 are Believe, Energy, Focus, and Free.
I dream about new collaborations, musical compositions, confidence, and butterflies, calming down and giving myself all the space and Solitude I need to be the best version of myself. I dream about a blooming garden in the spring and profound moments with my family and friends. I dream of performing at new venues, creating from my heart and freedom.
Have you thought about your words for 2023? What are your dreams?
With this, I sincerely thank you for being in my Universe and wish you a Happy New Year!
Much Love,
