Loss, Love and Dreams

Life is no linear upward line, but it’s like a set of waves, sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down. That’s what The Surf of Life is all about.
I lost my mind, my dreams came true and I found love in many different shapes and forms.

Until I was thirty, I didn’t know what losing was like. Sure I lost the occasional field hockey game or failed a test in school, but really, I didn’t know about true loss. The kind that breaks your heart, the kind that makes you furious and that you can still feel in years past. But after I celebrated my 31st birthday in a mental institution, I found out there is an order in life or in our Universe. You do not make life, life is given to you.

I also didn’t know there were different kinds of love. I had only known one love until then. My college sweetheart. But after we broke up I experienced many different kinds of love. Instant love, love that fades and the kind that you love, but don’t love you in return. For years I tried to find love, but I have learned I have to stop trying so hard, create space for coincidence and let people come to you.

And finally, all my life I had been dreaming of living in the US. When that dream finally came true I had a sense of magic. What if I dreamed up something else? Could I have that too?

My dream is to touch millions of people’s lives, so they can learn how to surf life.
