Hi Sweethearts!
The fully reckognizing who you are. Who I am. Where I am. How I got here. Where I need to go.
The act of transformation. Of my self.
Do you ever observe your self? I do. All the time. And then I marvel at the act of it, at the being of forces within me, forces that are in motion even when I am not aware. It is like walking through a forest, getting to a clearing in the woods, resting there.
And suddenly, wearing a tea coloured shirt that hangs on my gadoinkadonk feels ok. Two days ago it didn`t. All my admiring of other womens bottoms and shaking of my own has me at the clearing. Has me at peace with it. Feeling happy with my observation of my self.
Has my butt transformed. Because I have transformed how I see it.
The outfit: Black dress, H&M. Shirt, Bik Bok, pursposfully misbuttoned. Scarf, Zara. Chains, Bik Bok. Earrings, Kapp Ahl. Wegdes, Din Sko. Absent tan, Norwegian summer.
Tell me my darling friends, are you in the business of transforming your self?
Also, I love you so very much. I have missed you greatly, and will visit you all. Forgive me for checking out there for a moment.
I would love to connect with you!

Lovely thought provoking piece! I get so excited when I change how I see a part of myself into a more positive image. I’m glad you’re writing again

I’ve missed you too, Anika! *hugs*
That Zara scarf is so pretty on you! I recently had the chance to shop in a Zara store while in Vegas last weekend. SO fun!
Sending you the most obnoxiously squeezey hug right now. I needed a dose of inspiration By Anika in my life right now, so thank you for that.
I do observe myself a lot – I reflect on myself, I think, daily. I recently started to find myself gravitating more towards others and the ideas set forth by others, and I’m trying to establish myself again away from all of that. Sometimes you don’t realize just how much of yourself you’ve lost in the process. But I guess finding yourself again is another beautiful adventure? That’s how I’m choosing to look at it! xo

OH MY GAWSH! Seriously I haven’t been blog reading for so long and I thought to myself if Anika doesn’t have a new post still I’m going to write my dear friend to make sure she’s alive. I’m glad to see you are very much alive and well, although looking quite teenier, my Norwegian Pumpkin.
Yes I am very reflective of the person I am now, a person who has come so far and is still changing and loving every minute of it.
I looovvvee that jacket! It looks awesome on you!

I’ve missed you and you blog very much! Life has gotten busy, but I’m so happy to finally get around to reading my favourites again. Yes, I often reflect on myself, personal changes, lifestyle, etc. Most recently, I’ve noticed how different my selection of company of friends are. I’ve brought more positive relationships in my life. It’s a funny thing, getting older … you learn to brush much off of your shoulder and move positively forward, at least for me it has become quite easier than when I was younger, and I appreciate everything that has happened, the changes and all! Happy summer to you dear. -xx

Good to see you Anika.
Yes, I examine myself to see if I am where I want to be or need to change up some things. You look wonderful and your scarf and outfit is so pretty.
