I have always written and read. My first journal had a little lock to keep my secret thoughts. The latter are filled with images. As a child, I spent much of my time in the library and as an adult, I lived in a library. We joked and said we had a direct distribution from Adlibris (the Swedish version of Amazon) to our home. Those books are all gone, replaced with a continuous flow of e-books, as we now live on a sail boat.
Later in life, I wrote academic reports based on the research project I was involved in. I was close to getting a PhD, but at the last minute, I luckily found what would become my career path in life, coaching.
The urge to start writing about my long coaching experience came when my husband and I crossed the Pacific Ocean. I felt it was a good time to start writing what became my legacy.

Reflections and Photos from the Other Side of the Earth.
A Play Project by a Sailor and Coach.
Reflecting on one’s day and life is such a great way to get to know yourself. In the following books, you can follow a year in my life – learning and transformation continue!
This new writing project came to me just when the winter in New Zealand had started (June). I knew I had one year in front of me before our sailing back to Europe would start. I had long wanted to include and do something with all the photos I am constantly taking. When we did sail over the Pacific, I chose a photo from the day, to which I wrote a small reflection. Here you can see the result. I liked that format and decided to do something similar. I was also curious to see what would come without planning anything in advance. It also nourishes my overall question: what will this kind of life shift and journey do to me?
Katharine St John-Brooks, who has edited this series, shares her impressions:
“My first impressions were of the beauty of her photographs. Those wonderful skies! And the glorious scenery and flowers. Although I am a Londoner, I too have been to New Zealand and thoroughly appreciated being reminded of its glories.
I have enjoyed Anna’s reflections: her overarching messages about the importance of taking time, curbing one’s impatience and making space to breathe and let new things in. I didn’t know her when she was her ‘big City’ self in Stockholm, rushing about in the way we urban souls do. You may know the English saying: “If you want something done, ask a busy person”?! But having the opportunity not to be busy and to ‘be’ rather than ‘do’ has clearly been a wonderful, life-changing experience for her.
There is a lovely tranquillity about Anna’s writing. She invites the reader to be reflective with her and to share in her recurring themes around Nature, letting go, learning from the universe, the passing of time, flowers, trees, waves …”
So here we are Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn.

Messages from Nature
#1 Hot new release in Pictorial Travel at Amazon.
I am fascinated by the beauty and wisdom of nature. Every day I witness the sky, the ocean – the surroundings I am in.
I take some photos, often at dawn and twilight, and then wait for the message connected to what I am experiencing. Simple messages, you will recognize them too.
This book came to me during a sailing from Noméa, New Caledonia through the Coral Sea, entering Australia and the Great Barrier Reef to Cairns, continuing to the pearl Lizard Island, the small remote village Seisia at the top of Cape York peninsula, and finally to Darwin over the big Gulf Carpenteria, Arafura and Timor sea.
The overall message I get is that there is hope and that we are allowed just to be.
