  Hello,
  Today is a sad day here in Sweden - our foreign affairs minister Anna
  Lind has been murdered. The news breaked out while I'm in a place
  where I have been facilitating/training a group of people in
  leadership. Anna Lind was stabbed with a knife yesterday afternoon
  right here in Stockholm and the news said that she was badly injured
  but no one spoked about the risk that she could die.
  This morning just a second before I got the news, a thougth flew
  through my head - what if.., what will I as a facilitator do with my
  group, then the thought flew away again. And then I knew - that the
  worst thing had happen. I prayed for help and I got it - I felt that
  I was helped to do the best I could do to navigate the group and
  myself through the day, and holding space for us all. And I was on my
  way to send a mail to ask for
  help from you all out there, but I just couldn't do it (actually I
  did not dare). But you all helped me anyhow just that I knew that you
  where all out there and "only" by thinking about that gave me
  strength and power. "Let your soul be your pilot, let your soul guide
  you" as Sting puts it -
  Thank you for letting me be a part of this community.
  Eva
