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. So, now there's a real itch for summer to take over the seasonal duties. And what summer looks like...

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 summer vacation. And everyone wants something different from a vacation.

Some people want adventure.

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 email message has become less and less my favourite format. 

And it's spring. Which is clean-up...

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 influence gives us a head's up for the season ahead, shedding light on what to expect and why.

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 just dynamic. It's A dynamic. It's the stuff of life. The glue that keeps it all...

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 actual baby, of course. But I still feel a gestation period happening. I'm planning for her, I've named...

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 prepare our choice of actions. Knowing the astrological energetics and influence gives us a...

I talk to you nearly every day. The problem is, I don't usually write down what I say. And because of that, you get very few emails from me these days. I want to change that.

Instagram gets a much bigger part of me. I post twice a day, every single day there. But I don't chat with Instagram the way I chat with you.

As I go about my day, I'm telling you what I hope are amusing tales of observations and things happening in my life. They're rarely big or dramatic. Anymore. But they're real....

I've had dishpan hands for 27 days now. Because 27 days ago my dishwasher broke. It gave a watercurdling sound (like bloodcurdling, but for appliances). Then it choked, sputtered, and stopped.

Naturally, I googled the make and model to try and source a DIY method of repair. I'm very much a do-it-yourself gal married to a do-it-yourself guy. But the sad news was there was nothing we could do, according to Google.

I love my Bosch dishwasher. She's so quiet and efficient I forget...

It's only been one week since we buried Romeo under the majestic conifer tree in our backyard. The same tree we sprinkled my son's ashes under, 9 years ago. It felt like the right thing to do. From my perspective, they were both very similar - except for one being in human form and the other in feline form.

They both had the biggest hearts, the most soulful presence. They both felt larger than life. They both presented as unusual, uncommon in this life. But what they had most...
