I want to tell you some of what I believe in and how it all began. Back in 1991, I was 16 years old and deeply broken-hearted about the future of our planet. I was devastated about all the facts bombarding us with sad news about wasted rainforests, toxins, pollutions, suffering animals and people. Felt so terribly helpless I got depressed. One year later, I moved away from home for the first time of my life for high school in a different city. I will never forget the first eco-labeled product I bought in my whole life. It was washing powder. I remember it simply because it was the only eco-labeled product there was at all by then. Now, 20 years later, they are everywhere.

I can now see that I was both before my time and far too young to worry about such things. But several lonely weekends in my first one room apartment began a spiritual journey for me. Today I don't feel that much alone anymore. Luckily we are a serious growing family longing to grow ourselves and to unite the whole planet.

My mind and philosophy has over the years more and more grown into something of a mystic. I believe that all we really have to do is daring to honest with ourselves and reveal the truth inside. God (Nature, or whatever name you chose to call the world) has placed a purpose in each and every one of us. But it takes courage to listen to that truth, a truth that may be beyond outer expectations and sometimes conventions.

Three years ago, one of the darkest moments of my life, and believe me I'm beginning to wonder if the word crisis has become a normal state to me by now, so this awful one when I almost was about to give up on everything and was so terribly lost - I suddenly heard this song in my mind:

It has turned very special for me ever since. I love The Sound of Music. It's the musical of musicals. The abbess manage to make Maria understand that there is a place meant for each one of us and we have to go out and find what that is. The abbey was not her place, as we all know. And it was really the music that brougt her there in the first place. But she still had her music. In fact she had always felt divine presence in the sound of music. It was never a fail to not belong in the abbey. Her service was simply meant to be somewhere else.

Sometimes life is like that. The best way to serve and help each other is to be honest with ourselves. Not everyone can be PhD:s, or crazy artists, cleaners or presidents. A world like that would be quite lame and competetive, don't you think? Noone would either benefit or improve that much. Nature created diversity so that we all could benefit and contribute. I read a riddle to solve some years ago. It was something like this: Six people sits around a table with big spoons tied up on their arms. Noone of them could reach their mouths with their long spoons and either of them was allowed to eat directly with their mouth. How did they manage to eat? It actually took some minutes for me get it, but the answer is ofcourse; they started to feed each other.  Everything in life is about giving out and receiving something in return, and it takes trust.

Back to the circle of my story. Some weeks ago I was personally invited to join a new community that is called "Inspired Life" www.inli.com/ and will launch next month - november 2011. So honoured.  By the way, the word "Inspiration" derives from Latin: "In Spiritus" - being in spirit, which is exactly what you are when you honestly and spontaneously act from a matter of your heart. I have a feeling this is going to be huge. And it's all I've ever been waiting for in my life. In fact I read about it in a health magazine already in 1998 - the cultural creatives are about ready to contribute, to literary save the world, the planet, the economy, everything - and now we are finally here. The thought is trembling. Take a look at this:

I'm getting deeply embarrassed now. After 20 years and beyond from now, with all the dreams I had, so far all the products I have for contribution to the future of this beloved planet, is some absolutely crazy ebook about my silly phobia.  Story to be continued...
