OK, finally some time to catch my breath. I am not complaining over the speed of my life in the last few weeks, but I really started to desperately need somebody press the pause button:
- first there was a one-week NVC training in Greece. I can hear you going: “Oh, bastard, I hope he is not going to complain how hard THAT was”. No, absolutely not, I am not going to complain, since it was truly fulfilling, all this swimming in the ocean of genuine connection with myself and with people around me, discovering new worlds within and devouring the beautiful environment, human as well as just simply sun, sea and Greece around. But it was intense, nevertheless.
- immediately upon our return we both dived into a week of leading trainings every day, with loads of work that needed to be done in between.
- in addition to that my blogging mate from down under, Razz and his wife Engogirl dropped by and stayed with us during that week – which meant a lot of inspirational sharing, eating and drinking (Razz is a hell of a cook so I urge you to invite them to your home). He can also teach your kids about photography, his wife will teach them mathematics and engineering, they will do gardening…, what can I say, another cool guests to have in the house.
- in the midst of it all we needed to pack again and off we flew for a week in Norway, to give a nonviolent conflict resolution training (me) and an intercultural skills training (Marjeta) in this inspirational college where we like to go so much.
Anyway, here I am, in this wet and windy Norway, just back from a long run, feeling how my system is slowly calming down and getting ready to start with the workshop tomorrow, with blissful silence and serenity of nature all around.
And in this process of slowing down I sort of remembered that I am actually writing a blog and that it has been getting pretty dusty and rusty, with me not finding time to post things regularly. Which led me to recall how the other day Razz was sharing his weird experience with the flow of visits on his blog. And than this lead me to remember another blogger Hayden, who told me that her blog got enormous amounts of visitors when she once posted a photo of Monica Bellucci. You know, the search engines thing – people searching for naked photos of Monica…
And this thought got my dirty mind going.
In a weird direction.
Toward the dark side of the Force.
And out came a plan, a vicious plan indeed.
So, let me show you some photos. Firstly may I introduce you to the gorgeous and sexy yet not naked Monica Bellucci (notice how smart the wording in this sentence is?)

And here is the photo of equally gorgeous and sexy yet not naked Angelina Jolie.
To be attentive to the female population as well, here comes a photo of the handsome and sexy yet not naked Brad Pitt (I will never understand why some women tend to deny this that he is really cool)
And, last but not least, here comes handsome and sexy yet not naked George Clooney (some of you may remember I have a special connection with him, others will understand too if they only care to dig deep into the comments in this post of mine)
So, let’s see if this shakes the rust and dust off my blog.
And for all those innocent souls that stepped right into my diabolic trap; this is a nice personal blog, you see, so why don’t you sit back and relax, have a cup of tea, feel at home and click around a bit. You may even find it enjoyable.







This is HILARIOUS. I love love LOVE it!

So did your ploy work, did your stats go up?
Thanks for letting us stay at your place and I was glad to add to your stress levels so you could enjoy your holiday, oops, I meant seminar, even more.
Without evil there would be no good!

Hey Robert….the workshop was truly awesome, so thank you very much for letting know and realize many things that i did not know or care in communications and in approaching a conflict.
Thanks and all the best!

Razz – well, hard to say, but nothing really extraordinary is going on. Perhaps I picked a bit too out-of-date people and should opt for what is the hottest.
Holiday? Razz, you need to come with me to one of my workshops and than when the day is finished tell me whether it seemed like a holiday to you…
Palden – thank you for coming and sharing this. It is really beautiful to get this kind of feedback. It was a pleasure to have you at the workshop.
