20 years ago today I started this blog, with this quote.
That was Tina v1.0; No kids, single, hadn’t started any businesses yet. This blog opened doors. Forever grateful.
I have been a bit quiet recently, but I am still here.
A warm thank you to everyone of you who stops by occasionally.
Congratulations on this amazing achievement. Your blog has been a great source of joy to me for a long time. Long may it continue xx

Thank you for your message of calm kindness as we navigate the rocks and shoals this world is putting in our paths.

What an achievement, Tina. Congratulations!
I started following you in 2012, in Geneva, after my boyfriend (now husband) and I started dating and he mentioned your blog.
You’ve been such an inspiration along the way. I moved to the States, opened a coworking space, and started a bunch of creative projects, like my blog (in 2014).
I don’t think it would have happened without your inspiration.
Thank you, Tina!
May 27th, 2025 / 12:48 pm
It and YOU changed the trajectory of my career and my life in ways I’ll never be able to repay. Thank you. ❤️

Been visiting this blog since I was a teen. It’s still in my top bookmarks ❤️
May 28th, 2025 / 4:43 am
Still here, in fact I downloaded an RSS feeder for the first time in ten years. Tired of the algorithm. Tired of the AI images and click bait. I am remembering how wonderful it was to curate my content. You were one of the first in the feed.
May 28th, 2025 / 5:40 am
I pop by every now and again – glad it’s still going. You are an inspiration.
May 28th, 2025 / 1:27 pm
Thanks. I think I’ve been here from almost the start. Always a great experience. Maybe add a “random post” button? With that much content to choose from, it might be a fun option.
May 28th, 2025 / 2:49 pm
I’ve been with you at least 15 years and still refresh looking for new posts multiple times a week. So glad you’re still here!
May 28th, 2025 / 4:40 pm
I’ve been following along for at least 17 or 18 of those years! Congratulations. You and your blog opened doors for me as well, and I am forever grateful to you. Thank you Tina!
Long live blogging!
