Hello Alda, after having finished reading your memoir this week (I love the way you write!!!) I am so happy to read that after having come back to Iceland for good thirty years ago you were able to craft for yourself the life you were longing for. Your words about turning every grim thought or saying into its sunny, hopeful contrary have struck such a chord within me that I have shared your post several times accompanied with my own commentary, because I have discovered that incredible power of the mind in the last months as I battled throught a personal nightmare. Thank you for sharing your own experience as it will surely help others and as it has sort of validated my own journey from the shadows to the sun! Thank you so much!
Thank you Marie-Laure for sharing my post, and for your kind words about my writing. I'm sorry you've had to go through something difficult in the past few months, and very glad that you found my words reassuring.
It is nice to hear/ read, that Germany was a nice place to heal for you.... if you live here, everything seems greener elsewhere.... for me it is Iceland, over the fence, the better smelling, better tasting grass....
Hi Alda, I was engrossed in this. Wonderful, stirring even, to read how you navigated such a profound transition. Glad the fates were smiling in the end, not least because you gave yourself up to them, combined with what the kids call manifesting.

What doesn't break us really seems to make us stronger. Sounds mainstream but I have experienced it first hand.
So great to read, as someone who also has an "Iceland dream,"....someday!

Sometimes, we just need a bit of help to get us out of our own way.

Very well said. It's amazing what happens when we get out of our own way.
