I had my mouth full of cava when my good friend Monica gave me the look. “Gry you need to take your life seriously. It’s not a rehearsal! You get one chance.” Short after our drink two women close to my heart died.

I will never forget my last phone call with Merete. With a voice that went right through my bone and marrow: “I am 80 years old. My cancer eats me alive. I weigh 44 kilos. If you know what you want to do, don’t postpone it. Do it now!”

My inside was kicked around until my heart melted and became soft as a sponge. To live is a very physical experience. Changes are too. The next day I started to plan my exit from the life I had lived for so many years. A life that simply did not work any more.

Now I find myself in a completely new setting. I have turned into a journalist who want’s to devote the rest of my time to connect with the human heart and our capacity to love. As humans we live in a reality that changes with every breath we take. If we look deeply into our condition, we don’t have a lot to hold on to, besides the moment now. The beauty of it is that the present is a very magical place.

All my projects are about the human condition at this moment of time. If I can shed some light into the matter my mission is completed. I believe strongly in the power of listening to each other's stories. I believe in our capacity to love unconditionally. Love is our bridge to realize that we are all in this dance together!
