Site move and update

Leave a reply

I have moved this site to another webhost. Setting up a new WordPress and importing my old data went smoothly. In connection with this move I also restructured my images (I keep them outside the blog in a gallery at one of my domains) which required updates on many posts. I think I’ve found them all and that images show up everywhere I intend to have one.

Letter from a mother

Leave a reply
A friend of mine on Facebook tagged me in the photo below and to the letter in Spanish. Later a French translation turned up in that thread and I have found an English version. That letter strikes a cord in me, it could have been written by my mother to me. We're in that phase of life when the tables turn, she no longer manages on her own and I have to help her. Changes happened gradually and fairly slow during the last few years but lately it changed much faster. It's hard to see your mother change Read more [...]

You Don’t Call Me. I Call You

Leave a reply
The business card below popped up on a friends wall on Facebook. It's a card with attitude and the story behind how it ended up in the press can be read at The Best Business Card Ever: A Warren Buffett Story, Starring His Girl Friday, Devon Spurgeon. The Huffington Post wrote about it too at Devon Spurgeon, Warren Buffett's Chief Of Staff, Keeps Hilarious Business Card: 'You Don't Call Me. I Call You'. For some occasions that kind of card can be useful but using a Gmail address is a bit generic. Read more [...]

Vivo Barefoot Ra black

Leave a reply
Today I took one step further in my transition to barefoot walking. I went to Fotkultur in Malmö and bought a pair of black Vivo Barefoot Ra. The Ra is one of the most classic VIVOBAREFOOT styles to date. The sumptuous vegetable tanned leather upper sits on the original VIVOBAREFOOT sole. It's a truly versatile shoe; smart enough for the office and stylish enough for a night out, offering barefoot health benefits from day-to-night. I wanted real barefoot shoes which means no heal, no built in Read more [...]

I bought Keen Sun Valley Slipper in September and I really like them. Today I got my Keen Sayulita Lace.

Perfect for your transition from work to play, week to weekend, Keen’s Sayulita lace-up shoes are made of soft, flexible suede and styled with a laid-back look. Read more [...]

How does one become a butterfly?

“How does one become a butterfly?" she asked. "You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.” - Trina Paulus Serendipity at work I had finished reading "Enchantment" by Guy Kawasaki which has an origami butterfly on the front cover. The quote above turned up in my Facebook stream and the butterfly connection is obvious. Going from caterpillar to butterfly is a great example of change which is what my business is all about.

Me as a collage

Leave a reply
My bio-text on Twitter says "Inquisitive, openminded, loves life. Professional coach, mentor. Please note that Twitter is my water cooler, I prefer conversation over promotions." Today I felt like creating a collage that shows the first part, "Inquisitive, openminded, loves life." I think the collage can be titled "a harmonic thinker with a childlike mind." Childlike in the sense of being open and inquisitive. It's also about playing more, one of my goals. Read more [...]

Nike Free 3.0 V2

Leave a reply
I have been posting some about barefoot running and walking. The big shoe companies are clearly paying attention to the (minimalist approach) trend. Nike was first to market with the Nike Free, a flexible shoe for “barefoot like running” with less padding than the company’s typical offerings. The Nike Free line of footwear features a segmented sole which provides greater flexibility while still having an amount of cushioning. The Free line is based on a scale from 1-10, where 1 is barefoot Read more [...]

Key Coaching in English

My previous business home page was bilingual, English and Swedish. I created Key Coaching (Swedish) as a new WordPress installation. Now I have started to rebuild Key Coaching (English) from the ground up. I have imported some of the posts from Bengt's Notes (this blog) because I decided to have my business oriented blogging over at Key Coaching. That means topics such as coaching. mentoring, business and networking will be at Key Coaching in the future. The old posts for those topics will be removed Read more [...]
