Happy new year my friends!

Happy belated… but we still have 364 days to celebrate in 2016 counted as today :D

Anyway, how was your 2015? Mine was wonderful. I feel so blessed. It was a year of new opportunities, as well as a year of healing. Even though I started the year with a (quite painful) dental surgery, I took it as a removal of something that didn’t serve me anymore, a healing. A good sign.

Also last year, the doctors finally found out the cause of my then recurring stomachache, headache, skin rash, brain fog, and other un-wellness: I had leaky gut. I went into elimination diet, then reintroduction phase (to gluten, sugar, dairy, etc), and I fell into another phase of sickness after the reintroduction of gluten and sugar. It was very bad. It was May, and now 8 months later, I have never felt so healthy! It was also a healing.

In February, I received scholarship to Marie Forleo B-School, it was a huge step towards the development of my artwork and personal life, too. I submitted my video as I was looking for ways to show new insights to my mother – that new ways are possible. The new network I was in with my B-School mates itself was a super blessing. It was worth all the nights and weekends I was up watching the lessons and doing my homework. Little by little my mother started to open up herself and tried out new things, like administering Facebook page, and much to my (happy) surprise, she learned quickly and she’s very good at it! And voila possibly my greatest achievement in 2015: flying my mom to Bali and had a 5-day mother-and-daughter date :) Hopefully more of this in 2016!

Went to Sweden twice in 2015. First was in July for my (Swedish) brother’s wedding, that I combined with a vacation at my sister’s in Germany and a ‘homecoming visit’ to my host family in France. The second was in September for work, a 2-week full of work that led to another new project that I will take up starting this year.

And the perfect thing to close 2015? Ah, what else, Start Wars: the Force Awakens :D

I’ve been a Star Wars fan as long as I could remember, and this episode really nails it. I’ve watched it several times now at the cinema (I don’t want to tell how many times ;-)) and still not bored. Still want to watch it again *lol*

Anyway, I’ve got some neeeew stuff on this website for you in 2016, and I’m working on it little by little. Hopeless internet connection at home is still a big challenge until now, so this is my wish for 2016, too: to get a fast and reliable internet connection at home!

Oh well, you are the witness :D

Merry happy joyful new year 2016 everyone!

Artfully, xo,
