I’m Back
Today is my birthday and I find no better way to start off my 52nd year by writing to you. It has been so long since I last wrote. I have missed you. There wasn’t a day that went by without thinking about you and your life. I brought you with me the last two […]
Write Yourself Down
Do you know who you are? Like really know. And do you show that real self to others? So much so that everyone would feel like they knew you forever. Realer than the chairs, the tables, the roads. More real than anything else real. I have been asking myself lately if I know who I […]
Loyalty Is Rare
Heartbreak is tiring. Exhausting. Consuming. Deeply confusing. It is hard to understand. You will often wonder why certain things have to happen. Especially if you are a good person going about your day, expecting the best and doing your best. It will be the most heartbreaking for the good hearted ones. The lovers. The givers. […]
Oranges and Fried Eggs
In the last few months I experienced one of my most significant Life Reentries to date. I taught myself self care for the first time. It started with exercise, then it moved to food choices, to my work, my routine, and it landed me on my childhood dream. This journey had many blind spots and […]

The 15 Year Walk
A few weeks ago, I had a dream that when we die; we return to experience the exact life again. We meet the same people, make the same mistakes, occupy the same story. I put it aside, reflecting that it was a strange dream. Further attaching to my belief that If we do return, we […]
The Field of Ghostly Winds
I have been changing things up in my life lately and I was reminded of the extreme discomfort change brings along with it. It feels like you are standing in the middle of a field with high winds coming at you from all directions. The winds are like loud voices screaming at you to get […]
The First Scratch
Everyone says that love is the most important emotion of all. It has been documented forever. After all, literature and poetry over centuries captured the feeling of love. Like the most famous celebrity. The Queen of all emotions. But what if the most profound feeling of our existence is not love, but loss. And it […]
A Quick Stroll Along My 49 Year Old Life
Today I decided to share a little more about my life. There are so many new readers who joined the Friday Letter Subscription that I think it’s important to tell you about my journey here. My name is Christina Rasmussen and 49 years ago I was born in Greece in a small town called Volos. […]
