		<title>A Day In The Life&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is early morning in Oslo. I have a feeling this might just be a good day while stretching my 172 centimeters like a cat, postponing the shower for as long as I can. I go through my dream and wonder why I was busy saving young birds all night. Then I start thinking about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Duo-concept with my pianist Hilmar Kristoffersen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My pianist/keyboardist Hilmar Kristoffersen and myself have worked with our duo-concept for several years (doing events), but never given a full concert as a duo &#8211; until this spring when we gave a concert at Myren Gård in Kristiansand (southern Norway).

I am using this concert teaser (press info) written by concert arranger Monica Brenna to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing new songs &#8211; with the help of a piano and some magic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my tiny apartment in the centre of Oslo there is a piano &#8211; judging by the space this is against all odds. The piano is slightly out of tune, but it is my dear companion when writing songs. The label manager has asked me to write about 30 new songs for the next album [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Norwegian &#8220;Carrie Bradshaw&#8221; was invited to the show with her writing-pad in the bag, wearing a smart outfit and too high heels&#8230; People were drawn to the side to pose for the press photographers, celebritites were coupled up and you could sense the emerging gossip in the columns the next day under giveaway headlines: [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Bachelor started with Yes Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago I was one of the bachelorettes in the Norwegian version of &#8220;The Bachelor&#8221;. That in itself is old news. What is the connection between my participation in this reality-show and the movie &#8220;Yes Man&#8221; featuring Jim Carrey? The mind behind this decision is still current business.

There was in fact a &#8220;direct link&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creamy guitar and singing with a kitten&#8217;s paw&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In addition to being an artist and singer/songwriter I am doing a PhD in music performance at the southern university of Norway (Agder University). It is a crazy idea to keep up with writing blogs when there is so much to work on as it is, but the way I see it is &#8220;the more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dark music video from the Irish woods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filming a music video at the edge of daylight is a challenge&#8230; When I brought a crew over from Oslo to Ireland in connection with shooting videos for some of the songs from the album &#8220;THE  ANCHOR AND THE DREAM&#8221;, we tried a &#8220;stunt&#8221; just before the break of dark on the first day [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Spectacular&#8221;, &#8220;shocking&#8221; and &#8220;poetic&#8221; are three of the words that recur when describing the work of Jerzy Skolimowski, who visited Oslo to be present at his art exhibition opening &#8220;Essential&#8221; (paintings) and the premiere of his recent film  &#8220;Essential Killing&#8221;.

		<title>Getting experience as actress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier I checked in at the Norwegian soap &#8220;Hotell Cæsar&#8221; doing a small guest role as a doctor. When I went to the reading rehearsal I discovered the scene involved the handling of needles (syringes) &#8211; but something told me already then that I would not be allowed to actually pinch somebody (even if it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Climbing stairs to get perspective&#8230; ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[HIGHER THAN MY STAIRWAY
Climbing stairs to get a better overview
I wrote this song for my album THE ANCHOR AND THE DREAM. The dream that inspired the lyrics was about climbing stairs, and as I climbed I gradually gained more and more perspective: getting a fantastic view and focused insight. But the case of stairs came [...]]]></description>
