My hotelroom is tiny. Still, it has balcony (diminuitive) and when I stand there, if I lean over, I can see the Eiffel Tower.
After classes, I come here, take a shower and turn on some French music television and sit on my tiny bed, going over my notes. Exhausted. Missing my kids. And excited […]
With or without our intent or knowledge, we each of us create concentric circles of influence that may affect others for years – even generations. The effect we have on others is passed on to others, and then passed on to others and then others again. This idea – which I have taken […]
When I was 15, I had my first serious bout with death angst. I believe it is common, at this age, on the threshold of adulthood and in the throes of a hormonal frenzy, to think about the life that lies ahead. One has to choose direction. I remember spending a whole day […]

I am moving house. Do you know how much stuff you accumulate over a period of 23 years? A lot. Twenty three years in my little house, but now I am moving.

The past year I have been on a long and extremely challenging journey. This is my personal encounter of what happens when you realize that the course you had set out for yourself, turned out […]
Welcome to the eighth in a series of articles entitled: Awesome Women with Awesome Jobs.
I was looking at my friends list on Facebook one day and it suddenly struck me that I know so many absolutely awesome women with rather special jobs. Jobs that are not just about pulling home a paycheck. No, these […]
Dear diary,
I was cleaning up the attic today and stumbled upon an old box of memorabilia, and what do you know? I found my old glass slipper! It sure did bring a tidal wave of memories!
How strange, it seems like it was both a million years ago, and only yesterday I went to […]
02:34 am: 3 year old enters bed. Wants water. Needs own duvet. Get up and get it. He hogs pillow.
04:12 am: Cat does this scraping on closet-thing resulting in Hubby getting out of bed, walking downstairs, whistling, opening the door and letting cat out. Am impressed with cat’s insights into Pavlovian psychology and ability […]
Oh, how happy I was to find this guest post submission in my mailbox! ‘Wellingstons’ put into words something I have thought about MANY times – but she beat me to the punch. I encourage you all to contribute to making www.cindafuckingrella.com a place where women (and men) share their thoughts. If you are interested in […]

Hi cruel world,
It has been a while since my last written post. I am kindda’ depressed. And very happy at the same time. I’ll walk you through it:
The depression is due to the fact that it is still winter, going on what feels like 23 months of grey, cold, wet, icky weather and […]
It is the middle of February and I am feeling it.
My kids have little eczema-looking patches of dry skin not matter how much creme I apply. They are pale with purple rings under their eyes. The vitamin pills just cannot make up for what we need. Sun.
Ah, the sun. The life that goes […]
A couple of weeks ago, I went on our annual “mother-daughter-shopping-spree” with my mother. I am unemployed and she is retired, so we mostly looked. I came home with coffee – how is that for sexy shopping??!!
In the high end of town, she fell absolutely in love with a pair of shoes. They were […]
