COPENHAGEN CONNECTION: It’s cold.  The sun is shining brightly, if you stand still someplace place directly in it, you warm up…but the wind coming in off the ocean is frigid.  I nestle closer. Inhaling, I feel alive as the salty sweet air cleanses my lungs and plays jump rope with my hair.   The guide explains the history behind every building.  She speaks four languages and adds humor to each, as she attempts to focus our gazes upon this massive building perched at the ocean’s edge.  This one in particular is a National treasure, the Royal Theater/ Opera House.  Morten whispers the secrets about the theater that aren’t in the travel guides.  His words dance across the waves as the sound of his voice transports me back to the beginning and I discover the history it has to offer…

"The History of the Royal Danish Theatre
In the period 1722-1728, the Danish dramatist Ludvig Holberg, in an unprecedented outburst of creativity, wrote a series of comedies that laid down the foundations of modern Danish theatre. His works were staged in the ‘Comedy House’ (Commediehuus) in Copenhagen’s Lille Grønnegade. The advent of state pietism put an abrupt end to the festivities in Lille Grønnegade, but after the death of the pious king Christian VI in 1648, amore liberal attitude prevailed in the capital. A small group of actors, remembering and saluting Holberg’s ‘poetical rapture’, exploited the new cultural atmosphere in Copenhagento form their own company. On the occasion of the opening of the theatre in 1748, they were just 8 actors and 4 actresses, and they performed two French comedies. A company of this size was only just able to fill out the roles involved in a revival of the ‘good old days’ of Holberg and Molière’s comedies in Lille Grønnegade. Later on, there followed the comedies of Beaumarchais and his roguish barber Figaro – and a vogue for sentimental German drama.&quot; …..read more at  <a href=”http://www.kglteater.dk/”>www.kglteater.dk/</a>

“Have you ever discover something that made you question reality?”

I guess as a parent you really do view your children through “different” eyes. At least that’s what my mother called it. When she see’s an ugly baby/toddler in a beauty pagent/talent show she will always exclaim, “poor thing, it’s so ugly it’s cute!”

Let me explain my mother is Korean, so she has a distinct Asian wisdom behind her statements. I learned this long ago as she told me Korean “fairytales/fables” before bed, translation is a very sardonic mistress.

“Unquestionably the Hans Christen Andersen of Korea: she had spun webs of reality where baby frogs buried their mother by the sea shore out of love and sisters were washed ashore still embracing after being lost at sea.”

Very heavy material for a four year old, but always with a lesson. Love comes at a price: hard work, patience & usually some type of suffering, just for good measure, lol.
I remember always wondering why all her stories were so sad. Many times while telling the stories she would cry. I always wondered if she was crying because she was sad the frog’s mommy died. Didn’t she know it was only make believe?

As an adult I realize that maybe that’s not the reason she is crying. I came to this realization at 4 am, after opening a box of Pizza my son Jeffrey had ordered for lunch. I haven’t been sleeping well worried about work/economy/election/Jeff and especially my mom’s recent strokes, so I figure the pizza will put me in carb coma for at least a few hours.

“Sausage & pepperoni?” I mutter as I open the box.

Who could have possibly have ordered this I wonder?  Jeff had. “So my son’s favorite pizza is actually sausage & pepperoni…after all this time” I mentally review. Jeff always tries to make people happy so he “goes with the flow,” in most situations. I realize I do the same by always ordering a pizza I think he likes. The Danish irony is, we are both eating pizza that’s not our favorite & pretending it is to make the other happy.

As I took a bite of Jeff’s pizza, I thought about how scared I still was about losing my mom. This pizza was a perfect example of what she always conveyed in her bedtime stories. I realized that those last few nights in Denmark actually put me in my mother’s shoes for once. I was a strange person in a foreign land, surrounded by people speaking a language foreign to me, missing my mother & family who could be ill or even dying, but tied steadfast by the love for her husband.

“By the second bite, I knew why my mother always cried when she told me bedtime stories….”

Telling me bedtime stories was the one time she felt safe sharing her fears, joys & pain. In her web of reality she would weave the pain of missing her mother, fear of her possible death, joys of motherhood and hopes for tomorrow. I realize now her children were possibly her only audience at the time due to the huge cultural gap & racial prejudices. Fairy tales are the perfect way to explain grown up thoughts to tiny minds & still have a happy ending.

My mother always ended her stories by telling me she loved me and that she wished my grandmother were here to see me. “She’d go crazy if she see’s you,” she’d say because we were all so beautiful/smart/good. That was her way of saying, “totally overcome with emotion.” *Giggles

“Reality is perception. I realize life really is a circle. I am my mother and my mother was me. I still have so much to learn and teach but wonderful mentors to guide me.”

I throw the rest of the pizza in the trash. It’s served it’s purpose and fed both my body and mind.
“I’m going to ask more questions and actually listen more.” I promise myself. I don’t want to regret what I didn’t do or say. I want to try to “walk in the other persons shoes more.”
I click off the kitchen light.

“I am truly blessed…each time I look at my mother’s smile or see her eyes in my son, I thank GOD for making me a part of their lives.”

Kisses Kimber

Don’t Worry, Be Happy Lyrics

Don’t Worry, Be Happy
From the Movie “Cocktails”
Performed by Bobby McFerrin

Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don’t worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don’t worry, be happy……

Ain’t got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don’t worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don’t worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don’t worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don’t worry, be happy
Ain’t got no cash, ain’t got no style
Ain’t got not girl to make you smile
But don’t worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don’t worry, be happy (now)…..

There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don’t worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don’t worry, be happy……
Don’t worry don’t do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don’t bring everybody down like this
Don’t worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don’t worry, be happy

“WE are not a people who FEAR the FUTURE…WE are a people who MAKE IT!” Barack Obama.

We all need to help “write the next great chapter, in the great American story…”

This year the 4th of July meant I got to share my version

of this holiday with several people who are really

experiencing it for the 1st time this year. It made the

pressure pretty high, with little actual planning so I ended

up just “winging it.”

When I tried to explain to my nieces what the

4th of July means I was given a little assist

by our new 1st family, the OBAMAS.

Their oldest daughter Malia Ann Obama

shares her birthday with the

Unites States of America.

Brianna, my oldest niece, reminded me “Izzy’s birthday is Monday,” so she understands how important birthday’s are.

“America gets fireworks…

instead of presents!” she giggles.

Even a child knows everything deserves

something on it’s birthday but what

do you give a country?

*GIGGLES*

Of course my great Dane of a husband being so worldly…

knew the BBC.COM and of course the WIKIPEDIA version

of 4th of July, so he was an easy sell.

What he didn’t know was what real Americans

did to actually celebrate it. I mean he grew up watching

American movies as much as we did, so he half expected

a marching band or a CMT music video come to life.

*Giggles…

What actually occured was a lot of GOOD CLEAN FUN!

Tons of food, some burnt to a crisp…lot’s of splashing in

the pool, few false alarms from over protective psyco

mom’s/mini heart attacks, more food, streaking by the

boys, T&A chicken fighting, hairpulling, more moons,

DESSERT followed by an AWESOME firework display

(thx Morten, Jeff & Jimmy.) All from the comfort of

Jr & Ann’s new HOME SWEET POOL HOME.

Things went even better than we could have ever planned it.

All the kids loved it, most to the point of sleep:D

The older boys like COLT watched out for the little ones,

teaching Tallen that he had nothing to fear from those

BIG explosions in the sky!

Everyone huddled together to share this moment

in each others HISTORY…one day we will always remember

& keep dear fordozens of 4th of July’s to come…

“I hope everyone in the World enjoyed YOUR 4th of July.

No matter if it be a holiday or another day…

every day speant with those you love

should be made memorable.

We will never be able buy another day…

please don’t waste them.

Start now.

*PRICELESS.”

HOME April 11th…

Every story has a beginning, middle & ending.  Our story begins, like most fairy tales end….

“and they lived happily ever after.”

However, in order for you to appreciate the entire story we should tell the story in true Disney style.

There once was a girl named Kimber that lived in the fairytale land of  Florida, nestled near the heart of Disney World.  She dreamed of her handsome prince one day riding in on his white horse & sweeping her off her feet into the sunset…(enter handsome prince).
In a distant land far, far away (kind of more Star Wars than Disney but try follow along with me) lived a handsome prince/Viking/sailor that dreamed of one day meeting an exotic princess that he could defend & protect.  Living in the wintery, Nordic lands of Denmark had made this prince a master at all things Viking/sailing/shipping & also gave him an appreciation of warmer isles.  This led to him to traveling in true Viking style, in search of his beloved.  After many visits to Miami Florida where shipping & sunshine are plentiful along with beautiful exotic princesses, he found the fair Kimber! (cue first kiss).
Like most love stories there is always an inadvertent match maker & this story is no different…One day the exotic princess & the Danish prince met on-line through a mutual FB friend.  Just like all fairy tales, it was love at first sight.  Soon they were engaged & married!
The Danish prince (Morten) & the exotic princess (Kimber) married then honeymooned across the Danish countryside.  Their love grew to include not only each other but the country of Denmark & it’s amazing history & culture.  Now the lovebirds were torn…where would they spend their “happily ever after?” (enter Bjoern Global).
Of course the only way to be able to enjoy life with each other, theirr families & with both the countries they love, Kimber & Morten created Bjoern Global.  Together with a band of their closest, most trusted ladies & knights they strive to bridge the gap between both countries, it’s people, and maybe make the world a better place.
Our goal is to live happily ever after…surrounded by our friends & loved ones.  With families in both Denmark & the US, we can help anyone from other countries to bridge the gaps between them.  Since we have had to fight dragons (red tape) & overcome the difficulties of bringing together two people from two different “world’s,” we want to help others have a much smoother transition.
Whether it’s help taking advantage of the amazing pricing of investment homes in the US due to the dropping home market or finding an amazing yet affordable vacation home in Florida or in Denmark, we are here to help.  Americans can discover the history, beauty & culture of Denmark and the Danish can explore the tropical climates of the US & the surrounding island nations.
Bjoern Global allows us to spend time, as equally as possible, in both Denmark & Florida.  Our fondest hope is to make as many friends as possible, while building a successful company along the way.  If you would like to be a part of this fairy tale or need help with your own, remember:

“If you can dream it, we can help make it reality…ask us how we can help!”

Stay tuned for more juicy details about this modern day fairy tale…
