Linnéa
I am a person who is terrified of
not living my life; of sitting in my chair as an old lady and regretting not
doing everything I could to make my life complete. This means that I'm a person
who gets things done.
All my life,
horses have been a big part of my everyday life. My mom trained race horses and
my first pony, Pelle, stayed with them at the Täby galopp race course stables.
I went on to my next pony, Karolina, with whom I had so much fun. We went
exploring in the woods, galloping on the fields and jumping bareback over
fallen trees. When she died, so did I, and this marked the beginning of a long
pause in my horse life, even though my mom still had several horses.
I started high
school majoring in theater and arts and had three amazing years where I learned
a lot about myself and gained confidence and life direction. After high
school I moved straight to New Zealand where I was accepted into Auckland
University of Technology to study a 6 year long master’s degree in Psychology.
These plans changed, and instead I worked as a barista and travelled the whole
country, loving every second of it. On my way home, I went to Australia to
travel for a month.
Back in Sweden, I
studied sales and marketing, before moving onto a bachelor degree in system
sciences. After graduating, these two degrees led me to a software development manager position at the Fristads Kansas Group, where I am working with e-commerce and system development.
In 2012, my
passion for horses came back, stronger than ever before. I bought my horse
Vasara 2013 with the aim of really going all in within show jumping.
Unfortunately, Vasara got badly injured 2014 and in 2015 after 10 months of
rehabilitation I had to let her go to the green hills as the injury could not
be cured. To repair from the loss I spent time trying to reconnect with the things
that used to make me happy; photography painting, dancing, writing... Until autumn 2017 when a little gray horse named Gramy stole my heart and soul.
My guideline in
life is to just do it. Don’t let anything stand in your way. Though many things, and people, will try to break you and your dream, you cannot give up. I want to inspire
other people to just go for it. Just do it. It will all turn out ok, I promise.

Linnéa. Så heter min nu tre månader gamla dotter. Jag kan väl inte påstå att hon är döpt efter dig, men det har i alla fall fått mig att tänka på dig och fundera på vad det blev av dig. Idag har jag börjat läsa Hobbiten för min fyraåring och det fick mig att tänka tillräckligt mycket på dig för att googla upp dig. Glad att se att du verkar ha haft det rätt bra :)

Åh en liten dotter, grattis! Och vilken bra smak att välja ett så fint namn! Första barnet?
DeleteJa, jag får nog lov att säga att jag har det bra nu, men det var ett par tuffa år innan det blev så.
kjamizzzaj!!
