This blog's name Munching on a Dream has been with me for over six years and I keep wondering if it isn't a bit too weird to use. Back then it came to me in a hunch, as a gift from the universe or something, and I accepted it with…
Reading guide spring 2021
Hey you, if you're new to this blog or to me, you may have a hard time finding your way here! I discuss quite big topics and themes and one can easily lose the overview, especially if there isn't someone to talk you through it. This complexity is exactly my…
The great paradox of online business and marketing coaching
Every time I look on Instagram I am bombarded with ads from seemingly successful online business and marketing coaches, who are here to help me start and grow my online business and live the life of my dreams. I love these ads because I find them highly entertaining. They all…
Why I won’t write about the positive effects of kundalini yoga
After my previous writings, I was planning to write about the positive things that I took from practicing kundalini yoga. I have now concluded that I really don't want to. Here I explain why that is and why I will never speak of the yoga in the same way again.…

On my path & the kundalini yoga chapter
After my latest burst of inspiration for my blog in November, I have again found other inspirations elsewhere. I drifted away, again. I came back now because I keep having this need to justify and explain my writing behaviour and patterns. This comes forth of my need to live my…
Around the World ~artwork~
