Dear Eva, I was realy sory to hear about the murdered - I thought that at that part of the world life are getting "normally", and as I learn it was a mistake or a question about "what normal life means?" I was realy sory because we do not have so many weman at our parlment and each one of them is very importanat for democracy !!! And, thinking of you at that day - I am sure that it was imposible to open a space for someone when you can't even breath but I am very proud and appriciate that you could. Always here (almost) for you even if it's not on line.

The news breaked out while I'm in a place where I have been facilitating/training a group of people in leadership. Anna Lind was stabbed with a knife yesterday afternoon right here in Stockholm and the news said that she was badly injured but no one spoked about the risk that she could die. This morning just a second before I got the news, a thougth flew through my head - what if.., what will I as a facilitator do with my group, then the thought flew away again. And then I knew - that the worst thing had happen. I prayed for help and I got it - I felt that I was helped to do the best I could do to navigate the group and myself through the day, and holding space for us all. And I was on my way to send a mail to ask for help from you all out there, but I just couldn't do it (actually I did not dare). But you all helped me anyhow just that I knew that you where all out there and "only" by thinking about that gave me strength and power. "Let your soul be your pilot, let your soul guide you" as Sting puts it - Thank you for letting me be a part of this community.
