FIERY PHOENIX

Since I was born in the year of the Rooster, I have felt a kindred spirit with phoenixes before. I have also had my fair share of moments of rising from ashes to new shining heights. 

So of course it felt remarkable when the Duolingo language learning app sent me a summary of the year and declared that I am a fiery phoenix in the diamond league… that's how I felt. Risen from the ashes again after drifting into the wrong energies somewhere in the meantime.

Tuline fööniks

Kuna ma olen Kuke aastal sündinud, siis olen fööniksitega varemgi hingesugulust tundnud. Tuhast uutesse säravatesse kõrgustesse tõusmise hetki on ka omajagu olnud. 

Nii et muidugi mõjus märgilisena ka see, kui Duolingo keeleõppeäpp saatis aasta kokkuvõtte ning kuulutas mind tuliseks fööniksiks teemantliigas… nii ma tundsin end jah. Uuesti tuhast tõusnud pärast vahepeal kuskile valedesse energiatesse triivimist.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL

One of my big multi-year projects was successfully completed. When I got to the capital, I drove past an advertising poster, which belongs to a flooring company and I almost always resonate with its messages.

This time too - there was the text “Carpet well, all's well!”, which paraphrased the saying “All's well that ends well!”.

Lõpp hea, kõik hea

Üks mu suur mitmeaastane projekt sai edukalt lõpetatud. Pealinna sattudes sõitsin mööda reklaamplakatist, mis on ühe põrandakatete ettevõtte oma ja peaaegu alati oma sõnumitega resoneerub.

Seegi kord - seal seisis tekst “Vaip hea, kõik hea!”, mis parafraseeris ütlust “Lõpp hea, kõik hea!”.

PEGASUS

I went to the cinema one night, there was an art exhibition in the lobby. My eye was caught by a painting of a woman playing the piano and across from her stretched out on the crest of a wave, Pegasus, the white winged horse of Olympus.

I was returning to 100% dedication to writing, and this painting reminded me of that beautiful phrase that says, “You play the music that is in your heart, and everything will work out for you.”

Pegasus

Käisin üks õhtu kinos, fuajees oli kunstinäitus. Mu pilgu püüdis kinni maal, kus naine mängis klaverit ja tema vastas sirutas end laineharjal välja Pegasus, Olümpose valge tiibadega hobune.

Olin tagasi 100% kirjutamisele pühendumise künnisel ning see maal meenutas mulle seda ilusat lauset, mis ütleb, et jaga seda muusikat, mis on Su südames, ja Sul laabub kõik.

WHITE MOOSES

I took the train from capital to south. Across from me sat a cute child in a light pink knitwear, with a row of mooses frolicking at heart level. The experienced sign guru immediately looked: a little girl in pink - a sign that my inner child is fine, the heart chakra is open and clean; the only place where I am still in male energy (white color) is that I am waiting for a certain sum of money and abundance to arrive (seeing a moose means the arrival of a particularly abundant period of life), but obviously the signs just said that it was on its way...

And a week later the waited amount, 20,000€, was deposited into my account.

Valged põdrad

Sõitsin rongiga Tallinnast Lõuna-Eestisse. Mu vastas istus armas laps heleroosas kudumis, mille peal südame kõrgusel kepsutas põtraderivi. Kogenud märgiguru vaatas kohe: ahhaa, väike tüdruk roosas - märk, et sisemise lapsega on hästi, südametšakra avatud ja puha; ainus koht, kus olen veel meesenergias (valge värv), on see, et ootan ühe rahasumma laekumist ja külluse saabumist (põdra nägemine tähendab eriti küllusliku eluperioodi saabumist), aga ilmselgelt märgid just ütlesid, et see on teel… 

Nädal hiljem see oodatud summa, 20 000€ laekuski mu arvele.

START WRITING

The major renovations to my country house that had been dragging on for several years were finally coming to an end. I was getting excited to start working on the manuscript for my next book (which, among other things, reflected this journey that had lasted for several years). 

At the same time, several people recommended that I watch the series “The Dreamer. Karen Blixen’s Journey” - I have loved her for a long time, but when I delved deeper, I realized that it was about the period in her life after returning to Denmark from Africa, when she initially had difficulty finding joy in anything… which is often what creativity brings back quite quickly.

Hakka kirjutama

Mitme aasta pikkuseks veninud suured maja renoveerimistööd maakodus olid lõpuks ometi ühele poole saamas. Võtsin hoogu, et oma järgmise raamatu käsikirjaga (mis muu hulgas kajastas seda mitme aasta pikkust teekonda) tööle hakata. 

Samal ajal soovitasid mitu inimest mul vaadata sarja “Unenägija. Karen Blixeni teekond” - armastan teda ammu, aga kui siis süvenesin, sain aru, et see räägib tema eluperioodist pärast Aafrikast Taani tagasi pöördumist, kui tal oli algul raske leida millestki elurõõmu… mille toob sageli just looming üsna kiiresti tagasi.

LIFE TAKES CARE OF YOU

I drew a card from my massage therapist’s deck. At first, I didn’t quite understand the image on it - but she looked at it, smiled and said: “Life takes care of you.”

I’ve had my doubts at times, of course. But when I take a step back and look at the bigger picture, I can see that she’s right. Life really does take care of me.

Elu hoiab Sind

Võtsin massööri juures kaarte ning ehkki ma saadud pilti esimese hooga ise ei mõistnud, ütles ta seda vaadates kohe: “Elu hoiab Sind!”

Muidugi ma kõhklesin selles vahel, aga suures plaanis tundsin, et jaa… nii on.

PILLAR OF LIGHT

Already for some time I had a feeling that when the house renovation project that had lasted over three years was finished, a great weight would be lifted from my shoulders and a great qualitative leap would come in my life. 

On the day when the bigger works got done (only small improvements remained), I drew cards and got one with the text: “Pillar of Light. Your vibration is rising. You are the oracle.”

Valgussammas

Mul oli juba tükk aega tunne, et kui üle kolme aasta kestnud majarenoveerimisprojekt valmis saab, langeb suur raskus mu õlgadelt ja elus toimub suur kvalitatiivne hüpe. 

Tol päeval, kui suuremad tööd tehtud said (jäid veel vaid iluparandused) tõmbasin kaarte ja sain sellise, millel tekst: “Valgussammas. Su vibratsioon tõuseb. Sina oled oraakel.”

ONLY GOOD CHOICES

I was travelling to Tallinn Fashion Week when I saw a poster by the road with the text “Only good choices”. 

And that’s what really awaited me there, an absolutely wonderful short break: champagne, flowers, delicious dinners and breakfasts, fashion shows and meetings with lovely people!

Ainult head valikud

Sõitsin Tallinna moenädalale, kui nägin teel reklaamplakatit tekstiga “Ainult head valikud”. 

Ja ainult need mind tõesti seal ootasidki, oli absoluutselt suurepärane lühipuhkus: šampanjat, lilli, hõrke õhtusööke ja hommikusööke, moeetendusi ja kohtumisi armsate inimestega!
