Last year I did a round-up of Xmas markets around the Copenhagen area. I have done this again for 2009 for the LINK (Ladies International Network) newsletter and I’ve also received some great info on Christmas concerts from the LINK group. Here it is for those who love Christmas hygge.

I wrote the following article for Copenhagen Exclusive Magazine. It appeared in print last year but never made it online. It’s filled with lots of tips on things to do in and around CPH during the summer! Wonderful Copenhagen also compiled a list of Sea View Hangouts.

When the days become [...]

I read a passage in a wonderful book I’m reading (that I also highly recommend) called “Anam Cara, A book of Celtic Wisdom,” by John Donohue. It resonated with me so much that I want to make sure it sticks. SO, I’m putting it here to do that!
“SPONTANEITY AND BLOCKAGE”
The story is about how [...]

What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know, except in so far as a certain knowledge must precede every action. The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do: the thing is to find a [...]

Just a few pictures taken last weekend. These give a pretty good flavor for a typical sunny, spring Sunday in Copenhagen. Most of these were taken by my husband, Lasse Fredrik Jensen.

Word has it that the new Ambassador to Denmark is soon to be appointed. Jyllands-Posten reported that Laurie Susan Fulton, a top D.C. lawyer and ex-wife of well-known former Senator Thomas Daschle is the selected Ambassador to The Kingdom of Denmark. It’s not yet 100 percent official though as of this writing. Apparently it will take [...]

We took a walk down Strøget to see the damage done from Friday’s vandalism. Here is what we saw. Looked pretty well cleaned up in just two days. It’s still quite a shame that these historic buildings were damaged like this. But all in all, it could have been worse, I suppose. And apparently the police [...]

See video here: http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Indland/kriminalitet/2009/05/09/085229.htm#
The footage on this video is unreal. I simply cannot believe it was filmed let alone not stopped by the police while it was happening. And to make thing even more unreal, NO ARRESTS WERE MADE — that’s right — not a single person.
Basically, a whole area of Strøget (the shopping street in CPH) [...]

Friday, May 8 is a holiday in Denmark. It’s a day off for most. However sadly when you ask about what the holiday is, most have a difficult time explaining it. In essence, most know it simply as a day or three-day weekend rather than a recognized celebration of some kind.
Since it’s now my seventh year [...]
