Life brings so many changes, doesn’t it? Sometimes planned, yet often when we least expect it. Usually welcomed, yet occasionally a curve ball.
And even when they’re planned and welcomed, changes are frequently unsettling.
I’ve worked through most of the unsettling emotions these last few (quiet on the blog) months. Now comes the unsettling physical aspect: This American in Norway is moving to Colorado!
Temporarily? Permanently? The future will let me know.
But much of my heart will remain in this welcoming country, as Jan’s family is my family, I’ve been shaped by the culture of which I’ve been a part, and sharing it with you has been a gift. I’m not the same woman who moved here in January 2007.
This little piece of the internet has a new name. It will be mostly quiet, but referring to the changes written about above — you never know what the future will bring!
Nine years in Norway, as seen through my photos
and heard through the music of Edvard Grieg and Ole Bull.

Good Luck Cindi ☺
Best wishes for your future!
Hope everything goes well with the move. Lykke til!
I know, I know….. I am Cindi’s husband, but born and bred in the West Coast of Norway, this post brings tears in my eyes…. The pictures, the music, the move……..
Hi Cindi,
It’s so good to hear from you again! 😉 Had been missing you.
I wish you good luck with your move and all that will come out of it. Let the end of one part of your life be the beginning of a happy new one.
Take best of care,
Pit
Oh my goodness. Good luck!
Good luck with your new life.
All the best for the move Cindi.
Welcome home!! XOXO
Good luck 😊
Cindi, I haven’t missed you because I’ve been struggling (and not blogging) too. My relocation was longed for, and a cause for celebration, and yet, despite being in the place I want to be in, I’ve struggled with finding some sort of control, meaning, and community back where I belong. I hope it’s not the same for you. Good luck, and I look forward to hearing all about this massive life change one day in the future.
I love the memories you’ve made.
All the best in Colorado. I’ve cherished your blog posts over the past few years and it’s given me encouragement to explore living in Norway. I’ll be there for the month of April working on several projects in Oslo, Bergen, and Tromsø. Maybe, someday, it’ll be longer. Thanks again and good luck.
Wow! Best of luck with the move and what might lay ahead….
Wishing you all the best on your move and your future in Colorado. Unfortunately I was unable to watch your video here in Germany but I’m sure it is amazing.
Best wishes on the new path and move…
Hi Cindi!
You are bittersweet, I’m sure. Leaving a beautiful country and memories…but, likely heading to where your daughter lives (right?) and I can’t think of a more wonderful place to move.
Maybe even I’ll get to meet you someday.
Best wishes and thanks for sharing the gorgeous photos. xoxoxoxo
So nothing momentous then?! Hope it all goes as you best hope. Look forward to the beauty of the Rockies!
Best wishes for your move to Colorado, and I hope everything will be working out well for you and your family. I’ve enjoyed your photos of Norway very much. Of course, Colorado has a fair bit of amazing scenery itself!
Wishing you all the new found joy in a new found place… such a beautiful video!
I have missed your posts… and look forward to more… at your own pace.
Good luck Cindi! all the best for your journey back home! I’m sure it’ll be different because you’re different and maybe you’ll live your home in a different way! All the best! 🙂
Good luck, Cindi. I will miss you, Jan and Beautiful mackenzie!
Cindi — what took you to Colorado? Are you there already?
