LOVE

Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my boyfriend"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states. As we speak.......

As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep feeling of tenderly caring for another person.

¨I love you¨said in english does not mean the same said in Swedish in my opinion. I love you can be a ¨easy-said-love-word-or-good-bye-word¨ to a friend, in the beginning of a relation ship, to a stranger you just meet and like without the deepest meaning and power that ¨Jag älskar dig¨ has.

In NY people I work with loves me, my employer loves me, a person I just spoke to loves me. I love them back. But who do I älskar? Only the verry deepest love I feel, most common a lover or my spiritual twin sister and family.

I feel love for my 73 year old friend in NY, I feel love for my twin sister I saw yesterday and most important MYSELF.

I find it interesting with LOVE and how can it go away all of a sudden, how can it change....how can it show up even if I didn't notice when it happen. Hmmm

¨Life is like a classroom you learn all the time¨

¨I find love where ever I go it surounds me all the time and I give more then I receive¨ That's my philosophy.

Coffee???

I'm surpriced how much coffee swedes are drinking it's 4 cups a day that is a lot. In America they drink less coffee and more of the sweat stuff like sugar, milk, soy milk, cream and caramel stuff (I don't even know the name of the caramel stuff so I call it stuff or just sugar). In New York and the rest of America a starbucks coffee is so trendy and I see so many people walking around with a starbucks. It's a roler coaster life in my oppinion.

Coffe does not omly taste good it smells good as well. The whole making coffee process is nice as well.

Coffee good or bad?

Coffee Good:

:Coffee is rich in anti oxidantes.

:Parkinson's diseas. A number of studies have demonstrateed that regular coffee drinkers reduces the risk of Parkinson's diseas.

:Diabetes. Coffee drinking has the potential to protect against the development of type 2 diabetes

:Improved mental performance. Caffeine in coffee is a well-known stimulant. Coffee promotes alertness, attention and wakefulness. The cup of coffee can also increase information processing.

:Alzheimer's disease. Regular coffee drinking may help to protect against Alzheimer's disease

:Caffeine can open airways and improve asthma symptoms.

Coffee bad:

:Heart rhythm disturbances. Coffee can cause rapid or irregular heartbeats

:Heartburn. A cup of coffee can trigger heart burn

:Sleep. Most are aware of the stimulatory effects of caffeine. High amounts of caffeine taken before going to sleep can cause difficulty falling asleep, tendency to be awakened more readily by sudden noises, and a decreased quality of sleep.

:Dehydration

:Dependence. Although "generally recognized as safe" by the FDA, caffeine is still a drug, a mild central nervous system stimulant, and it produces dependence. Caffeine withdrawal is a real syndrome. You may get a few days of headache and irritability if you choose to quit drinking coffee, however, it is relatively easy to break this habit, and most people are not addicted to caffeine.

:Osteoporosis. Coffee intake may induce an extra urinary excretion of calcium.

:Stomache problems going too much to the ¨shit-house¨ or too less. Many people are using coffe to go, I was like that before I quit coffee.

In my country having a coffe brake is a every day thing for all of us. It has a name too FIKA is what we say. Normally with something to eat like a cake, cookie or chocolate. At friends houses or at a coffe place we have a FIKA. It's a Swedish tradition to have a FIKA.

I'm on my way now 9.45 am on a Sunday to have a tea at my favorite coffee place.

Till then

Indian sexy summer and thoughts about that

Hello lovers

The Indian Summer is here in Stockholm city.

Everyday I have long coffee brakes with my favorite friends

and talk about...nothing or just be quiet like on the pictures attached.

People are so f...... beautiful here in Sweden . Its true that Swedes are tall, strong, blond and beautiful.

I'm happily surprised that here is lovely organic, healthy food stores. They have everything.....coffee that is not coofee, sesame seeds with sea salt, tahini, miso, healthy power balls (nuts and died fruits) other wheat, yeast, sugar free cakes and so on. They also have a fab market on Saturdays. I love it here now. Beacause of the food and the Shakti carpet (small pic attached) I love it more here now.

The Indian Summer makes Swedes sexier, happier, more loving, love more, there is hope.... that the dark time is not here yet, me included.

Everyday I see smiling people drinking coffee in the sun at places that have out door service. At night time sexy people go out and drink and party out doors if possible.

New York verus Stockholm: NY city has the energy, insperation, the people, the crowd, the caracters, style, it's all lovely and fantastic. Stckholm has the beautiful calmness, nature and so friendly people. Very stylish and a lot of fashion that sometimes can look the same. Sometimes boring sometimes so much fun. Hard to say I love them both. The best of 2 worlds.
