After 22/7/11

There are no words to describe the tragedy of what happened in Oslo and Utøya yesterday. How privileged I am that my friends, family and dear ones are safe and sound. Today has been a sad and dark day. Flags at half mast everywhere. Festivals and joyful events cancelled out of respect for the fallen and those left behind. Norway is in mourning. Norway is not broken.

We will grow stronger and prove to the world and ourselves that we will not tolerate terrorism. We will not let evildoers win. We will stand together with our heads held high, our minds open and out hearts warm. We will show that being a member of the Norwegian society means respecting, trusting, helping and caring for all those around, regardless of their political views, skin colour, religion, citizenship or ethnicity.

Take care of yourselves and each other!
