A few weeks back, work took me on my next adventure. Even though Stockholm is a really easy city to get to from Oslo, it took me almost 2 years to make it back. Last time I was there, one of my best friends from the U.S. was visiting. We only had two days … More Live Your Life by a Compass
LOST BLOGGER. REWARD IF FOUND. …Read the subject line of my email from beyondthefjordsblog.com. Ok, clearly I’m joking and giving myself a hard time.

It’s ok to live a life that others don’t understand. “Do you workout everyday?” “Did you make it to the gym today?” “What are these challenge groups?” “Are you taking another yoga class tonight?” These are typical questions I hear on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. I’ve been involved in sports since I … More Monday. Nothing a Bit of Yoga Can’t Fix
Better late than never, right!? Halloween has to be on the top of my list when it comes to holidays. Throughout my childhood, high school, and college, I loved thinking up creative costumes and spending weeks creating them (yes sometimes months). It is one occasion that I will splurge on. Like the one time I … More A Wee Bit Wicked
No one is you and that is your super power. Nope, I didn’t wait for Monday to roll around to kickstart my week. Sometimes you can’t wait another day to get the ball rolling. This weekend I decided I REALLY need to step up my game this next month. Bring it on November! … More No One Is You
