Routine beats word counts
Blogging gets easier with routine. Forget word counts, write a little every day, and let the posts come naturally.
Blogging is beyond age
Blogging erases age and borders. It’s a space where walls turn into bridges and inspiration flows freely.
Where inspiration lives
Everyday life is full of creativity, but only if we make ourselves available to it.
Doing the work
Talent helps, but without hard work it fails. Those who succeed are the ones willing to do the work.
Most people care
A sick day made me think about kindness, trust, and how most people - strangers included - really care about each other.
A new home for my photos
I’ve moved my photos into a new blog, giving them a space of their own. For now, it lives separately, with new photos cross-posted to my timelines.
Writing within limits
I used to write my blog in Swedish and translate it into English. Now I write directly in English. It takes longer, the texts are shorter, but maybe that’s not a limitation after all.
Beauty in the chaos
In times of chaos, something new stirs. When our walls crack, we open, and hidden creativity finds its way through. This is how we shape the future, here and now.
Micro.blog Wishlist #2
Less than two months after sharing my Micro.blog wishlist, three out of five wishes have already come true. Here’s what’s still on my mind for the next round of improvements.
The unseen victories
Even in dark times, progress happens quietly — unseen victories that remind us why we must keep fighting for peace, justice, and a better world.
Finding your own way
Finding your own way in life can mean sticking with one thing or exploring many. Both paths can be just as right, as long as they feel true to you right now.
Am I the new asshole?
Spent an hour inspecting a house and listening to a blame list longer than the inspection itself. By the end, I’m not sure if I fixed anything — except maybe my own status as the new asshole.
Writing it off
This week started badly, everything went wrong twice. No advice, just this: write it off. Writing clears the head and makes the day feel lighter.
Your blog, your rules
Personal blogging isn’t about rules, it’s about rhythm. Some days I write a chapter, some days just a footnote — the key is keeping it joyful and rewarding.
Our kryptonite
Just back from the new Superman movie, and it got me thinking. We all mess up, regret things, and miss chances. That’s human. The trick is remembering we’re not alone in it — our kryptonite is thinking otherwise.
You have me
A customer once said he had nothing of value, and his girlfriend replied, ‘You have me.’ A joke, but also the truth. We take so much for granted, yet nothing is ordinary once we learn to see it.
Bloggers unite
Earlier this year I joined the original Bear blog question challenge, and with Kev’s help it spread across platforms. I’ve now gathered the replies by platform.
Many men called Otto
Met the neighborhood’s own “Ove” the other day — car horn, complaints, and all. Unlike the movies, real-life Ottos never change.
Cookies and blogs
A little story about cookies, generosity, and how the blogging world still carries something beautiful that much of the Western world has forgotten.
A suitcase full of dreams
A family I met today is off to Thailand for half a year — finally living out a long-time dream. It got me thinking about that quiet inner voice that dares us to believe something might actually work.
