What is the best thing in life?

Yesterday I had one of my epiphanies again. One of those fabulous ones that leave you speechless and filled with feel-good hormones. I once again realized what it is the best thing in life. This time I was galopping like the wind with my friend Malin's family's icelander Hlynur by the meadows in Tungelsta, where I grew up. The sun was shining and the meadows were filled with flowers and fresh grass. All of a sudden I, yet again, realized that that is what I love: Being one with nature, with family/friends, doing sports (preferrably something speedy gonzalessy). Last time it was swooshing down the Alpes that took my breath away. Oh and let's not forget the riding the waves in Bali, ah. I am a succer for epiphanies.

Surviving cancer



Just a few days ago the Brittish 27 year-old Jade Goody died of cervical cancer. Her battle was followed by thousands. She was brave in facing death. It was especially touching to see her strength and positive attitude facing the deadly illness, since I see the same in my sister who has ovarian cancer. She turns 31 this year. Last year in november she got her diagnosis and has since undergone two operations and seven sets of chemotherapy. The doctors have now given her, against not so positive odds, a good prognosis. She will make it! I can now breathe normally again.



This is me shaving my beautiful sister's last straws of hair off in Febuary 2009. Not everybody can pull a bald head off, but she totally can! Bald and beautiful!

Mioli's day



Stockholm in March



Västerbron (which you have to cross twice when running tha Stockholm Marathon, ouch)



Lunch with Aril and Katrin. His fist looks bigger than Kat's head.



Katrin's style tip of the day. Chanel's fabulous lipgloss. And those tights...Rrrrroarrr...Are mine.


The perfect way to spend the day started with a 1h 28 min run with my homie Katrin. The best run in Stockholm (when you're not alone in the dark) is definitely: "Kungsholmen runt". You run around the island and you have fantastic views, especially at a day like this.

Today was the official waffle day in Sweden, so I finished my day off with a bunch of yummy waffles with my bro, my bro's gf, my hubby and my diddy pop (that would be my dad) at my brother's and his girlfirend Alexandra's place. Family rocks. Definitely when it involves waffles. ;)
