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 sailboat.
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. We were in our first atoll, Kauehi, in French Polynesia; the Maramu wind blew so strongly that we did not dare to leave the boat. 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.
This new writing project came to me just when the winter in New Zealand had started (June).
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 did choose 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. Pretty quickly I also decided to release one season at a time.
This is a year when we are in New Zealand. At the end of May 2023, we will start sailing back to Europe, a journey that will take around 1,5 years. So, this with short daily reflections fits perfectly right now in my life. It also nourishes my overall question: what will this kind of life shift and journey do to me?
So here we are, Winter and Spring are already out there. Summer and Autumn will come.
These series are only e-books, you find them at Amazon.com.
