Memories and More

The basic idea of this book is to share life experiences, and thereby give comfort and encourage smiles, by showing my own and others’ reflections on different life-situations. I am sure that many of them are comparable to those that occur in your life, or to others around you. By sharing experiences, we all learn something. Women are probably sharing thoughts more often than men. Many of the events in this book have also been discussed in female groups. They have not all been personally experienced by me but are the consensus from these fruitful discussions. Now I am pleased to share them with you. Among the experiences discussed in this book: heartbreak, the #MeToo movement and my own experiences, divorce as its complication as a parent, and my own thoughts about the pandemic. I also share with you my thoughts about the aging process that we all must endure, if we are lucky enough to live that long, since life is still a gift given to us all. We ought to remember that and enjoy the journey.

The author is a former academic teacher (assoc. professor) who returned after retirement to her country of birth, Denmark, after living and working in Sweden for 45 years.

Today, she lives near the sea and the woods, and it is from this environment that she draws her inspiration. Although she mainly used English in her academic and scientific work, she now uses it in a more enjoyable and creative way. The book is written in a narrative poetry form.
