If August was a roller-coaster of a big work load, mishaps and a budding feeling of change, then September feels like contentment and joy. Yet, my post this time starts out in a different direction.
I really enjoyed reading about your family history and about Finland. My sister in law is Finnish so I love to learn about the culture, country and people. Lovely to read you again and I can't wait to hear about your story.
It so lovely to find out how people have these connection in different shapes and forms to Finland. Yay to you having a sister in law who is Finnish! 😊
I very much enjoyed reading about your family history, about Finland… it reminded me how we all carry the stories of our parents and grandparents with us, how their lives continue to live on through us and how the places they lived (or visited), as they once were, still exist in those memories passed on to us. I have never visited Finland but the stories about it, told by my grandfather who visited it several times due to his work, paint a picture of it that I carry in my memories, along his many Finnish postmarks from the 1950s that I still keep. I am looking forward to reading more ❤️
Oh, you have Finnish stamps (postmarks) from the 1950:s! That is quite something. Finland is such a small remote country that it warms my heart when people have a connection to it, like you through your grandfather. Thank you for your lovely comments ❤️
I so enjoyed reading about your family history and you make me want to visit Finland again (I went skiing in Ruka a long time ago!). There’s so much history I’d love to know more about.
Very happy that Create Ensemble was useful for you! Hope to see you on 17th September at the next one!
Your writing is wonderful. Go for it — write that Novel. Happy 100 to your Mama.
Thank you Prajna! This really made my day!! ❤
