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

Today I understand that an island is not the getaway that everyone makes it out to be. An island is life in a microcosm. In these places, there is an opportunity to know the world in all of its fine detail, to experience change and to acknowledge things that we try to ignore in the big wide world. On an island success is the flourishing of the whole, not the temporary rise of individuals. The knowledge that things will pass is ever-present on an island and there is peace in that too. I write my blog with the purpose of sharing my experience of living on two Swedish islands with people in many parts of the world. What hopefully will emerge from this is a feeling of commonality: that our wants and needs are not so different and that we can help one another along in the daily struggle to grasp time and space, and to experience life with all of our senses.

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.
