I thought I could trick myself this time to not get into jetlag mode. It didn't work. Heavy waves of sleepiness sweeping over me in the afternoon. Time difference is nine hours and I notice it. Well - it will pass, next week I will be used to this timezone again.
How wonderful it has been to connect with Johnny and with so many friends already and with many others soon. Potluck dinner this evening at one friends house is fun to go.
Just few months or even weeks ago I or we - Johnny and I - didn't know how to make this happen and now it is reality. So many caring friends around both of us have been helping to make this trip and our reunion to happen - what a huge blessing. I was reading an e-mail of one friend yesterday evening and it hit me once again what a treasure it is to have all these loving and caring friends in our life.
I was in tears and thinking what on earth have I done to deserve all these blessings? It felt almost overwhelming but so wonderfully overwhelming. There is Grace involved in these blessings brought by the friends and good people around. You are Angels walking in human forms. Thank you dear human Angels!

In Boulder from 22nd of March until 26th of May
After a week from now I will be in Boulder for two months.
I want to thank Johnny and all of the dear friends and people that have helped us to make this trip to happen.
I wouldn't have guessed how mouch I can miss Boulder, not just the sun shine which I really love there, but all of it. And Johnny has been very supportive in planning and making my travel plans to come true.
So very soon I will be in Boulder. How great is that! And I will get to do the work there too that I so much love.
I will meet Johnny and so many dear friends - maybe to make some new friends too. I will also see the beautiful spring time there and maybe even get to experience a purple rain again. Last spring I went through a purple rain - the flower petals from some blossoming trees flying in the wind. It was incredible experience and feeling.
The trip is so near and there is still a lot to do here to make everything ready for me to leave. And I am already missing my son and my daughter here.
It is like one friend said - once you cross the ocean you are always in the wrong side of it . Yet I know that I am always in the right place for every moment. Today I am in Finland in Tampere and next week I will be in Boulder at this time.

Spring Solstice and cycles of Life
It is amazing and natural on the other hand how this globe and the whole world are going through cycles. We are again in the moment when the day is getting longer than the night. I see also how the life is germinating and starting to radiate in plants. A renewed life force in the trees and plants is already glowing and visible.
The snow crystals are changing to more glass like and melting in the sun shine.
Sun is rising now around 7am and setting aroun 7pm. Very soon the daylight is stronger and longer than the dark time - so short time ago we had just few hours a daylight here and what a huge difference it makes to have longer days. People are smiling again and looking at each others and around, not just hiding or turning inside.
I have always had a feeling that this is a time for me to end my hibernation and get up from my winter cave. It is time to start new things and renew some things that have been stored for later activity.
This year the Spring Solstice happens when I am traveling to Boulder – to my other hometown. There the difference between the day and the night is not the same as here in North. There the daylight is much longer all over the year than here in Northern side of Mother Earth.
This year my Spring Solstice will last also a bit longer because I am traveling to Boulder and the time difference is nine hours – I am traveling kind of backward in time.
I am very excited about this trip. There are so many people I love and I love the nature and the mountains there – I love the sun shine. It feels extremely good to get there for some time. And I am so happy and thankful that also there I can do the work that I love. This type of work is so full of grace because of many reasons: it is - creative; I can always learn more about things, about myself, about others; I can do it where ever I go; I can meet interesting people, I can help in some way the others – I could continue the list why I am so grateful that I have been gifted this kind of work.

How well we have loved?
This morning one client – friend – called me very early and thanked for a treatment that I did to her yesterday. She had got some insights about her situation and thought patterns. She also read a poem that I had written in December 2004. It was a time when I was feeling strongly that I am love – I am loved. In the poem I had thanked Life – the Living God – about my daily opportunity to find love in me, the Love that had been hiding behind the curtains in me.
Soon after the phone call I was reading my e-mails and specially one long one. There was once sentence that pulled my attention:
President Obama said, “What matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame, but how well we have Loved.”
I couldn’t help but I burst into tears when thinking of these two messages that came right this morning. How true that is! So many loving beings do I have around! – My family, friends and community here and out in the World.
A little while ago there was a lot talk about the Shadow Effect book and movie. There was one exercise in the program which I did while watching it. The idea was to think about one feature that I value in me. When I was trying to think about one feature I thought about being loving but couldn’t quite give value to that because it happened naturally – I don’t do anything there, it just happens – so I chose some other characteristic for that exercise. It is so weird that I was still thinking that I have to be active, do something, in order to give value to it. So often I feel amazed what has happened that I have so many loving people around – near me, never mind if we have some physical distance between us.
Love is – there is nothing to be done in it. Of course I can behave accepting, loving way, be active that way and I rather do so. How much better I feel when I act out lovingly than when I act judging, quarrelsome or any other “negative” way. Although acting out lovingly doesn’t mean accommodating others but being firm in my own space and place when needed. Also there I can express myself so that I don’t hurt others but just stay true what I feel to be true to me.
How good it feels to be loving and to be loved. Obama is a wise man and a wise leader of a huge country and nation. All that matters is how well we have loved ourselves and others.
