Have you noticed that things are speeding up and slowing down in interesting ways right now? I have. But I'm not complaining. I'm making it work for me.

I like that we went from summer's heatwave to fall's beauty to winter's freezing, in 2 weeks flat.

I like that the Christmas season started the day after Halloween so I can consciously add an extra dollop of warmth and gratitude to my...

At 3 in the morning on November 8th, the 2nd total lunar eclipse happens in our night sky.

(Sidebar - Yes, I said: "our". I know it's more common to use the article "the", but I prefer the pronoun "our". When you use the pronoun "our" more often, you feel the responsibility and the privilege. Try it here and there.)

So...the total lunar eclipse, right.  Our moon ( see what I did there?)...

I laid in bed last night with things I would never think about in the middle of the day. Things like how old my paternal grandmother and grandfather were when they died?

I don't know why this was in my mind, but at 4:32 am it felt important to get a sense of longevity in my biology, for starters.

In the middle of the day, I suddenly remembered my 4:32 am thought. Although the details of it all...

I started writing three separate emails to you. I got more than halfway through each of them. And scrapped all of them. This is the process of writing. Sigh.

But it's not the process I've been living through this year. In 2022, I started multiple projects and have been comfortably spinning each one of the plates without letting any of them fall. 

Whether in my personal life or my DrJonni...

Those of us in the northern hemisphere welcome the leaf-strewn season of fall on Thursday, September 22nd. Summer has been hot, long, and...complicated. So fall promises to be a change, a reboot, a turning of the page (or leaf, as it were). 

The influences of the planets above really do affect each one of us. That's why I have a conversation each season with my favourite karmic...

Did I ever tell you I started uni while still in Grade 12 high school? No? There's a reason why I'm telling you now then.

After the first half of Grade 12, I knew I was bound for uni, but waiting till September seemed WAY TOO LONG. I was ready NOW.

Back in the '70s, you had to have Grade 12 or equivalent to gain admission. So I knew I had to be creative.

I went to my English, Biology,...

Did I tell you we're adding 345 square feet to our home? Yep, as I type this, the process has begun. It won't happen overnight, but in a few months, it should (fingers crossed) be complete.

I don't believe in 'good things come to those who wait'. I believe in good things happen to those who create.

And that's why I've been creating something special for you.

I've talked about it in the...

I'm in abundance heaven right now. I'm looking at the 8 tomato plants in my greenhouse and it's reflecting this truth. Eight different varieties and each one is yielding more tomatoes than I know what to do with. (Mostly because I'm not a canner. )

But my tomatoes aren't the source of my feelings of abundance. As I said, they're the reflection. The distinction is noted, and it...

Last week I read this quote by Alan Alda (yes, that Alan Alda). 

I knew it as truth and almost giggled as I scribbled it down and tucked it away. 

"The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.〞

...

I wanted to watch the sunset & shooting stars the other night, but the clouds wouldn't yield. 

It reminded me that even if I know what I want, it doesn't mean I can get/create/achieve/have it. It reminded me that sometimes things get in the way. Sometimes there are plans other than my own. Sometimes I need to pull back and look at things with a wider lens.

I'm not just talking about...
