Changing blogging domain and site

Dear blogger friends, Lately, I had a few problems with the Blogger web site for my blog The Content Reader . I took this as a sign that I should finally create a web site of my own. I have been checking out other options, but could not get my act together. Finally, I have managed to create a basic web site with Wix, which I hope will be developed over time.  It has not been easy to find my way around. One thing one can say about Blogger is that it is easy to work with.  This site will no longer be updated Follow me to my new domain @  thecontentreader.com Hope to see you there.  Lisbeth @ The Content Reader

Merry Christmas!

-
I wish all of my blogging friends out there a little bit of a late Merry Christmas. 



I hope the holidays were nice and peaceful. I celebrated in the south of Sweden with family from both sides and I think we all enjoyed the Christmas time, in spite of it not being too Christmas like outside. But we always have a Disney hour with various Disney figures to look at. It is a tradition since 1960, and there, in the world of fairy tales, we get a feeling for the season. 


Once this tradition has been done it is time for a Christmas smorgasbord, Christmas presents and a quiet evening.

    Merry Christmas from Australia.
    We also enjoyed a Christmas smorgasbord, with a family Monopoly game afterwards and evening swim at the beach.

    Thanks for stopping by and all your thoughtful comments throughout the year.

      It sounds so lovely with a swim! Here we are just lucky if we happen to see the sun for a couple of hours. A swim is only possible in the spa that we are lucky to have in our residence. And that is what I did yesterday. First with a hammam sauna and then a swim. It was lovely! Enjoy your lovely weather.

    Merry Christmas -- yes, a couple of days late. I fear I took some offline time too!

    Your tree looks beautiful and I love the silver heart. Meanwhile, I want to thank you for your visits to the Gypsy and your comments. They always make me smile. I am always in awe of how this blog land pulls us together from all over the world. Happy New Year!

    I made an effort to put everything in blue and silver this year. To go with our new flat which is more or less decorated with white, grey and black. Thank you for being such a wonderful blogging friend. I always appreciate your positive approach to life. I really hope that I can be as positive for 2017. See you there! In the meantime a Happy New Year to you and your lovely family.

A Magical Room, Saloons in 1920s Paris by Ingrid Svensson

Better late than never as they say. This post was supposed to go up last year. At a museum in Sweden I found a book about 1920s saloons in Paris. Very interesting and it generated the post:  Paris in July - French Saloons.    As promised then, here is the first of two posts about four of the main hostesses.  Still picking from the "Magical Rom" and events from Paris in the 1920s. There were four main characters who put their mark on the literary scene of the time; Gertrude Stein, Natalie Clifford Barney, Adrienne Monnier, and Sylvia Beach. For most of you, they are already well known. These ladies had one thing in common, as well as many of the women holding salons, in that they were all lesbians. This was maybe one reason why they ended up in Paris, being more liberal (although you had to be discreet) than many other countries, and the US specifically. They were very creative and talented and did a lot for the cultural scene in Paris, introducing new talents and hel...

The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson

This is one of those popular help yourself books that seems to overflow these days. However, it defies all the good advices we have been given during the last years, that is; stay positive. Manson says: "Let's be honest; sometimes things are fucked up and we have to live with it."  Right! That is life after all. "One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful." Sigmund Freud  With this quote in mind Manson argues that values such as "pleasure, material success, always being right, staying positive", are poor guidelines for a persons life. After all, some of the greatest moments in our lives are " not  pleasant, not successful, not known, and not positive". Which leads him to the belief, and I am bound to agree with him, that it is the individual who is responsible for everything in his/her life. We just have to act due to external circumstances. We are not always in control of all aspects of our...
