2020

 



The year started out great, I played gong at an seminar, was an assistant at a show Búkalú and acted in Hatari´s new music video. Did a gig for Alþingi and for 100 kids in the countryside. Did gigs at Kramhúsið and taught a group Latin/Ballroom dances weekly alongside my normal zumba and jallabina classes at World Class. 

We in Dans og Kúltúr organized an epic Roaring 20´s party. Went on the radio and were featured in the paper because of it: https://www.frettabladid.is/lifid/orjufanlegir-dansfelagar/


Traveled to Mexico for my best friends wedding and met all my friends there. Such a beautiful ceremony.



Tried Ayahuasca and boy did the world change.... LITERALLY
I came home and there was COVID. 

From live classes to zoom
From lots of gigs to none
From live classes to zoom

We in Dans og Kúltúr were suppose to go to Dubai but Covid changed that. 
My job was changed in an instant

So I changed my focus and studied
Became a 
PERSONAL TRAINER
Yoga Nidra Trainer
Absolute Training Trainer
added NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) 
and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

In the summer there was no cases so we were FREE .... for a while
So I saw two concerts, Dúndurfréttir with my dad and Aldamótatónleikarnir with friends.
Went for some cocoa and dance spiritual ceremonies. Did my weekly therapy.

Actress Anna was in full swing

Wrote articles on Vísir.is:

Was a featured guest at the podcast Þín Eigin Leið: 


Blue Lagoon offered Ielanders a special deluxe deal so me and Oddrun went and pampered ourselves. 
Traveled to Hvammstangi to go to my first Sveitaball and saw Paparnir and Stuðmenn . 
Traveled the countryside with Þórdís to Akureyri, mývatn, Ásbyrgi and of course JaJa Ding Dong bar in  Húsavík. We stopped by at the beerbaths for some refreshment. Really fun trip. 

Surprised everyone at work and sang with Ingó veðurguð at their summerfest. 


Became a personal trainer and taught dance along with working in the spa. 
Did coaching and hypnosis. 

Then came second wave of COVID

Adaptability. The rules changed every 2 weeks, so my job changed that way as well. A personal trainer, dance teacher and an entertainer working in a spa, all my jobs were out. So surrended and RESTED! Finally working on my burnout for real. Doing absolutely nothing and that was ok.That was my job!

Best part of 2020

Met the love of my life Halldór and got to know what its like to have a family of my own. Him and his daughter welcomed me with open arms. I moved in after only a couple of months. So grateful.


2020... it was the worst of times...it was the best of times.
A time to reflect on your life. At yourself! 
It all depends on how you look at it right?
