I thought about starting off this post to you with something obvious, like - "Wow, can you believe it's already August?" or "When August hits, it means summer is already half over" or something like that.
But I just can't. I just can't.
I know who I'm writing to. And I know you are far beyond the obvious, the drone, the sleeping version of living.
I know you want...
Hey there - It's Jonni.
10 years ago today I wrote a brief email newsletter that started with: "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." The words of Dr. Seuss were in my heart.
That's because on July 16th, 2012, my only child, 22-year-old Connor, was killed in a crosswalk, when a distracted driver ran a red light.
It may have been a decade ago, but it feels as though...
Hey there. It's Jonni.
Is Canada 155 years old today? That depends on how you look at it.
It’s been 155 years since Canada formed a Confederation. But what about the hundreds of years of European history? What about the thousands of years of indigenous history? What about the millions of years of natural history?
It's all shaped Canada. And it’s been millions of years in the making....
Hey there - it's Jonni.
I feel like I've been in my greenhouse more than my office lately. It's that time of year. You should see my tomatoes shooting for the sun! I needed an antidote after binging the last season of Peaky Blinders.
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, summer feels like it's taking its sweet time to get started this year. Spring has felt long and drawn out....
Hey - it's Jonni.
I fell down my share of rabbit holes this week, know what I mean? I blame Google, Siri, and my ever-growing curiosity about all things. At the end of the day, I can't say I always checked a lot off my imaginary to-do list, but I felt full, satisfied, and complete. And I slept better.
This week I also realized that June is imminent. Most people I know are thinking about a...
In January, I bought an old caravan.
Scratch that.
I bought a vintage Airstream, and I've been creatively nurturing her into something special for months now. Hence the lack of emails to you.
If you miss my emails and aren't following me on Instagram yet, please do. That's where I drop head-scratching bombs and light flashes every single morning. But writing up an...
Spring officially begins on Sunday, March 20th, no matter how much sooner we want it.
Spring gives us that fresh, new, breakout feeling we all long for. It's in the air, it's in the tempo, it's in nature all around us.
The influences of the planets are like the lyrics of a song. They provide the awareness when we don't understand why we feel the way we do. Acknowledging their...
If you've been following me on Instagram the last 8 days you'll know I've been endlessly talking. I've posted my maximum allowed words every morning, and countless IG Stories.
What have I been passionately talking about? The next level of love. Because as we all watch the events of the world, we're seeing it being created right now.
What I know is that love isn't...
Have you ever been both distracted and extra focused at the same time? As though you're being pulled in two places at once?
I have, and I am now. And it's a weird, laser-sharp feeling that permeates my cerebellum 24 hours a day. (Cerebellum --> the little brain at the back of my brain that coordinates my balance.)
I have a new project, a new adventure, a new baby on the horizon. Not an...
Winter officially begins on December 21st, but most people have been getting that winter vibe for weeks now. The desire to focus inward, to reflect and reassess before responding, is the current feel.
The sights and sounds of winter surround us, but above us, the influences of the planets truly give us the depth and awareness that helps to explain our emotions and thoughts, so we can plan and...
