Back to School! (SVA2)
I applied to the Jönköpings kommun at the end of October (advanced planning!) to continue to study Swedish at level SVA2. This is free of charge and takes place through a “Komvux” (short for kommunal vuxenutbildning, literally “municipal adult education”).

A Swedish “Enchantment” Haiku
This is a series of posts from my reading of Katherine May’s book, Enchantment. This is a photo I took at a friend’s place in Mullsjö – Bjurbäck in August this year. Here’s the English version (not a 100% translation of the Swedish version, though…). Magic in the small; learn, unlearn—see life’s true gifts. Joy… — read more

Miracles of Daily Life
I ‘stole’ this from James Clear who ‘stole’ this from Sadhguru. And I find it fits fabulously into the theme of the book I recently read: Enchantment by Katherine May.

The “Enchantment” Playlist
This is a series of posts from my reading of Katherine May’s book, Enchantment. I love Star-Lord, the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy (a group of intergalactic misfits and anti-heroes).
