Are you a night owl or a morning lark? I have a bit of a dilemma. I would say my natural inclination is being a night owl. I like to work in the evenings because I love what I do and often want to get things done before the next day. However, if I work in the evenings...

My friend Astuti looked beautiful in her black and white dress. As she sat at the front speaking about her burnout, the room was listening. She recalled how she felt, how she only shared what was going on with a few people and what she did and needed during those...

We sat down in a coffee shop in Uppsala, Sweden. It had been a long day and I was thinking about cakes. I asked my mother-in-law what she wanted and she opted for a mango smoothie. I was impressed. It was a konditorei so imagine the buns, cakes, and ice-cream there...
