Book Event - SWEA Los Angeles

SWEA Tomorrow evening I will be discussing my book, "Två själar - samma tanke", hosted by SWEA (Swedish Women Educational Association) - Los Angeles.  I will talk about how the book came about, read two chapters, answer questions, and sign books.  It will be a cozy intimate evening where I think we will share our stories, as I think my story is also yours.

The evening will be held in Swedish, and I cannot wait to share the English version with all of you English-speaking friends and followers.  It is in the making ...

I am excited for tomorrow evening with a grateful heart, and cannot wait to share stories with you!

A warm welcome!

Book Harvest

The days at the Book Convention in Gothenburg, Sweden, was filled with experiences that I am still taking in.  It was four days of working hard to promote my own book, meeting other writers, going to seminars, and talking with publishers.  All along being surrounded by supportive family and friends.  I could not have made these days as successful and fun, if it wasn't for my amazing support team!  I bow in gratitude for you!

Most days didn't end at the Convention Center, they ended hours later somewhere where the networking continued.  So the only thing lacking during these days were sleep.  That was a small prize to pay for all that I received!

My heart is filled with memories of inspiring meetings, interesting people, and also a lot of fun moments!

I could of course not be at the Book Convention without buying books, that was truly impossible.  I found my favorite publisher, among with some of my favorite authors.  I had to buy another suitcase to bring back all these wonderful books.  Instead of harvesting pumpkins as the season is called for, I will dive into my Harvest of Books.  One book at a time, with a heart filled with gratitude.  Printed literature is still alive!

My love affair with books continues ...

 

Dream Big

We received our bracelets just in time for the Book Convention, and I wear mine 24/7!   It says "Dream Big" (Våga Stort) in Swedish, and it's a beautiful reminder to always dare to dream big.  Thank you to the amazing Jeweler, @atom_47, for making these special bracelets for me and the best support team around! It was a dream come true for me to participate at the Book Convention with my book, and to be able to share the experience with people who always believed in me.

Continue to fight for your dreams, and never give up!  Surround yourself with supportive and loving people.  I promise you, that it makes all the difference.

This one dream came true for me, and it was literary through fear, sweat and tears.  It didn't stop me, it made me even more determined.  Now I'll continue working towards other dreams, and so can you.

Dream Big!

With all your heart!

Media coverage

My first live interview was taped yesterday during the Book Convention here in Gothenburg, Sweden.  My nerves were present under my skin, and I had to remember a great quote; "The day you are not nervous in front of an audience, is the day that you don't care anymore".  I do care, I care a lot of reaching other people and to move their hearts.  I wanted to represent myself and my writing in the best possible way. So yes, I was nervous.  But I was also excited, happy and grateful.  Grateful to all the people who has supported me along the way, and still do.  You all have me deepest thankfulness for a lifetime.  I was, and still am incredible grateful for the opportunity to share my writing and connect with other people.  That is what life is all about.  Connecting with others, heart to heart.  With nerves and all ...
