Space & Time for Your Wellbeing
Julie's Nordic Island is my wellbeing blog in co-operation with The Local.

What is a good life in the 21st century? What does wellbeing mean now and into the future? As I pulled out the weeds, chased the hares from my cabbage patch and listened to the woodpecker chinking away at my proud Swedish flagpole, I began to gain a perspective on what we’re missing in our highly practical technology-age schedules: space (mental, emotional and physical) and time. Not only that, I began to feel that the modern yet nature-oriented Scandinavian culture that I had come to live in during the mid-1990s offered its very own philosophical and practical solutions to our modern wellbeing dilemmas. I began to write about them and gave them the collective title, Nordic Wellbeing™.

In Julie's Kitchen Blog you’ll read about combining health, taste, convenience and cost in the kitchen. You’ll also hear more about the values that I believe support healthy eating. These include understanding food to be: a product of nature (and therefore seeking knowledge about where it comes from); a manifestation of personal creativity; an opportunity to be together; a moment of inner calm; an area of life in which to show respect for our planet.
