A Beautiful Living

A mother of two, wife, historian, and communicator. I write about and am passionate about real, authentic life. Like any ordinary person trying to find meaning in everything. In a restless world where we need love, community, and connection more than ever before, I want to share about what is closest to my heart; the many nuances of motherhood. And the experience of becoming and being a mother.

I want to write about being human, and having human experiences in this time we live in. I live in Norway, in an old farmhouse from 1870, with our two children. I crave a slower life, and peacefulness. I crave being at peace, working towards a life where acceptance and love is the norm, where we can build a better world bit for bit. I fully believe that the world needs maternal love to be more peaceful and better. To get there, we need to start loving our planet and each other more.

I want to normalize experiencing the ups and downs of life, and humanize what has previously been taboo. Since my first blog in 2009, I have tried to put into words what is difficult and elusive to understand. The invisible processes that we feel, but that language does not fully capture. Motherhood is a patchwork of such processes. But so is life.

On my blog you will find reflections on my life, and my attempt to find meaning in everything. Life can be really hard. But it can also be beautiful.

I hope you’ll find it inspiring.

FREDAGSBUKETTEN(E)

_DSC0077  

Så ble det fredag denne uka også. Mens jeg har svinset og svanset meg mellom byer og bygninger på vei mot forelesninger og levering av papirer og lister til forelesere, har jeg dagdrømt om ranukler. Fine, myke, lekende vakre ranukler. På blomsterbutikken var de, til min store skuffelse, utsolgt! Men ingen blomster blir utakknemlig med hjem. Så hyacintene og tulipanene pynter nå opp så vårlig og florlett spisestua og stua vår. Og jeg skal løpe for å gjøre meg klar til en fin kveld med han jeg deler livet mitt med. Det er bare fredag en dag i uka. Den fineste dagen uka har å by på, synes jeg.

Ps. Følg meg gjerne på instagram. @julianneryd
