A talk from my heart

In this video I'm sitting down to have a long talk about feelings and things that's happening in my life right now. The past weeks has been a bit challenging.

My old dog also had bad episodes of Vestibular Syndrome, and he had the same symptoms: his eyes couldn't focus, he couldn't stand on his own, he couldn't keep his balance. We had to help him go to the bathroom by using a sling under his belly to help him stay upright. It's really, really hard to see them that way. But it did eventually pass, and my dog recovered his old energy. He lived for several years after his worst Vestibular episode. There's a good chance Nanook will return to his old self and enjoy more years of life. I'm sorry you have to go through this, but try to hold onto hope. ❤❤

[@jonnajinton]

I have the same experience with vestibulaire syndrome with one of my dogs.. It comes with no reason and can disappear again but it can take weeks. So stay hopeful, Nanook can become better again and for kennel cough my dogs are vaccinated every year but I wouldn't do that with an old dog. Big hug ❤

Jonna, I am a 76 year old Nana. I have two sons and four grandchildren. Living alone, I have time to watch you. You are wise beyond your years. Stay true to your pure heart and all will be well. God has blessed you with many gifts. Sometimes the gifts can feel quite heavy. Know that God loves you and is with you through all of your life. Peace, peace, peace! ❤

I have a vestibular disorder. There was a time that I couldn’t walk from my bedroom to my kitchen. I was bed ridden for two years. One day, I just said no way, this will not be my life. I got up, did a yoga balance pose for 15 seconds, then was down for several days, did it again for 45 seconds, then rinse and repeat. It took me two years of getting out of bed and slowly pushing through this.. Today, I am now a yoga teacher. I still have a slight wobble in my body but yoga gave me my life back. I still feel the left over wobble will heal. ❤

I don’t know how you could ever read the thousands of comments but I decided to write one anyway, just to release some words into the universe. I cry when I think of Nanook and what he is experiencing yet I am so happy for the most loving precious family he has with you and Johan and so many others. I have laughed, smiled, cried, felt awe and inspiration when I get a glimpse into the exceptional life you are creating and sharing with the world. I’m a 65 year old mother of 3 grown children with 4 beautiful grand babies. I was a dental hygienist, stained glass artist, Ironman athlete and a potter. And then I experienced a life changing accident 12 years ago on a bicycle ride. I am now a “walking quadriplegic” meaning I can walk with a cane but am limited in so many ways. I struggle with what I used to be able to do and the limitations I have but am so grateful to still be on this planet enjoying your beautiful paintings, photography, jewelry and music. You have brought my heart so much joy by just being you and sharing the good and the hard times too. I live on the west coast in Portland Oregon USA and have traveled to Gothenburg with my daughter who married a man from there. What a beautiful country! I really just wanted to say how much I appreciate and love all you do in bringing beauty to the world. Thank you from the bottom of my soul ❤ Christy Quinn

We lost our 13 year old lab and it was so hard. It's not only about loosing the dog, it is about loosing that time in your life. Enjoy him as much as you can now. He is such a kind spirit. Sending you guys a hug from the U.S.

[@user-fc9ho3vv5c]

Jonna, our hearts hurt for you two as we watched this with tears streaming down our cheeks. We lost our 15-1/2 year old dog, Emma the night before. Emma absolutely LOVED Nanook. Each time he was on camera, I would say 'Emma! Look, it's Nanook!', and she would actively watch - ears up and forehead wrinkled. It was halfway out of my mouth last night before I realized that she wasn't here. You have given Nanook such a loving home and wonderful life, and when it is his time to transition on, you can be certain that Emma will be waiting for him at the gate and they will watch over us all.

My husband purchased a piece of your jewelry as a Christmas gift. It feels appropriate to hold it between my palms and pray for sweet Nanook. That it somehow connects us and that it may somehow allow these prayers to flow in a more direct way. My heart breaks for you as I know first hand the bonds, the unbelievable bonds that can exist between us and our animal companions. Take care sweetheart, and may God lay his healing hands on Nanook. Take care.

[@silviavol]

Jonna, you have no idea how much you've been helped me! This morning when I woke up and watched your video, I started drawing on cups instead of sitting in my phone. For few hours I was so consumed by drawing and it felt like my mind was resting, which it hasn't been for a long time, and I've been mentally super tired. The day after that, instead of opening my laptop first thing in the morning, I started drawing patterns in my notebook. It felt amazing. I'm usually drawing in my ipad, but drawing on paper felt so amazing and so different, and I found myself in such a flow, that I've never drawn like this before. I drew 9 HOURS that day and filled over 10 pages with patterns that I can now tattoo. (I'm also a tattoo artist) But I've just never ever felt this way when I'm drawing. I'm always thinking too much and I'm scared to make mistakes so I'm never drawing something new. And have always loved the tattooing part of my work, but drawing in my free time has always been super difficult. So I wanted to say THANK YOU! I absolutely love your videos Jonna, you literally are an angel.

[@colleenG.]

I cried along with you on this video. There is nothing like a pets love and when they are sick, you cant help but be worried and concerned as you just dont want to lose them. My heart goes out to you. I love our pet dog so much. I pray for your Nanook

[@jonnajinton]

[@wolftress2503]

It makes sense that you are having nightmares about losing your art studio as you fear losing your precious Nanook. It’s so sad and difficult to come to terms with losing what we deeply love. There’s nothing like it in life. Sending my love ❤️

[@otmamasteph6676]

Oh, I didn't even think about that but that makes sense that the dreams have to do with fear of losing Nanook. Dreams are so interesting, how they're so abstract and indirect, and draw different things in our life together like this.

[@otmamasteph6676]

Yes, oh my gosh, as I listen to the dream again it all makes sense! The firefighters coming again and again are like the vets and the medicine that help Nanook get better. But it's inevitable that he'll get sick again, like the house that keeps catching fire again, and like with the very slow faucet, too slow to give enough water to put the fire out, sooner or later you will be helpless to bring him back to health again. Maybe making the nightmares go away isn't about a feeling of gratitude vs fear for the studio. Maybe it's about this same gratitude vs fear of losing Nanook, coming to a place of acceptance, as painful as that may be. Oh, I hope she sees you comment!

[@92kingsly]

I think you hit it on the nose. Dreams often talk in metaphors, where one thing represents another. And the thing Jonna is afraid of losing right now is Nanook.

[@Sagistar1111]

I’m a certified vestibular physical therapist and I treat this condition in humans all the time! The crystal disorder is called BPPV and is activated and treated with changes in position. It can occur following an infection. I don’t know if it’s possible to do the treatment on animals but what we do is called the Epley Maneuver. Meclizine can help as well and sometimes it can resolve on it’s own without any intervention. I’m so sorry to hear Nanook has been through so much and I hope he is feeling better soon!! Sending love and hugs for all of you! ❤

[@MarionHoppen]

My 14 yrs old Jack Russel Mix had a Vestibular S at Christmas (of course 😉). As I knew this from another dog in 2014 I was able to support her the best way. She recovered now, but took longer than my dogs Chuey in 2014. And yes: you can do proper physical body work with the dog. I think I should produce a little video for everyone’s try... ❤

L-theanine helped our old dog with vestibular syndrome immensely! It is over the counter, pet and human safe supplement that supports mental clarity, among other things. Our Mili had all the symptoms your baby does, dizzy, disoriented, and sometimes confused. With the supplement, she became more alert, present, and stable, and it was a huge relief to spend quality time with her before it was time for her to pass at the ripe age of 16. ❤

[@jenspencer994]

[@winniekortemeier5341]

Our old dog also had Vestibular Syndrome for over a week when she was 14, but recovered and lived happily 2 more years! I pray that Nanuk has a full recovery and many more happy times.

[@levt7651]

So scary and heartbreaking when our angel-dogs get sick. I lost my love, Frankie, just before his 6th birthday. Not the same syndrome. My boy stopped making platelets. We fought for 4 days, the vets trying anything to save him, but he finally answered God's call to come home. That was 7 years ago and tears are streaming down my face as I write this. The first time I've really cried since then. Bless Nanook. You are infinitely loved.

[@phoebesheldonyoung1350]

Dear Jonna, I know what it is like to have an animal in my life who is the closest of family and feels a part of my heart, and to watch them suffer, feel helpless, and worry about losing them. You are not alone in this type of heart ache. For me, it felt so unbearable to see my cat Muffin suffering. Even when she did eventually, miraculously survive what the vet said was "terminal" cancer, I still live with the painful awareness that her life span is much shorter than mine. I agree with you that I don't think I'll ever feel ready to let her go. Sometimes I still feel an intense grip of fear around losing her, but I also don't want to have to grieve her twice, and if I grieve her before it's her time to go, I would miss out on the chance to be present with her and grateful for her now-and that's what she deserves. I also want to break down the walls I've built up around music practice and creativity in general. I commit to doing that with you! Melinda Sue's talk also moved me to tears! Thank you for sharing her youtube with us. I am thinking of you and Johan and Nanook and wishing for you all to be so healthy, safe, and cozy together this winter. From sunny, dry, wide open, Indigenous Tewa land in the high desert mountains in New Mexico, US, I am sending you all so much love!! ♥ Phoebe

Dear Jonna, Six months ago my dog Nora had the same sickness as Nanook! Neuritis vestibular. Almost at the same time and she is also 14 years old! She couldn’t walk for days it was so sad to see her struggle. But she is a real fighter too and she is walking and running around again. Not the same as before, still it little bit of struggle with her balance, but she enjoying live again. Also her hearing is worse. It feels like we have been given extra time with our sweet Nora! We feel grateful! Just like you and Johan with Nanook! Give Nanook a big kiss from Nora, she knows what’s he had been throw! Watching your channel always give me energy, you are very special !❤

I think the fires that you are dreaming about is linked to your overwhelming emotions and/or anxieties that are currently happening in your life. I hope and pray for peace and comfort. ❤ love you!

[@Yvkes]

My old 16 year old border collie had vestibular syndrome. It was aweful to watch and experience! I found out (too late) that taking the dog to a dog osteopath would be the best option. Vestibular syndrome has something to do with the blood supply and flow in the inner ear and it is linked to the spine (neck part and atlas) and it might be that Nanook is blocked there. For my 16 year old girl this message came too late but I know now with my 13 year old Flat Coated Retriever how valuable it is to see a dog osteopath regularly (especially with an old dog). So many diseases of dogs are linked to their spine and mobility (especially neck and hips) and I can only say: Guys, get your dogs to the dog osteopath and watch the miracle and believe me: they will live a far longer and happier life!! Hope, this message finds and helps you, Jonna

[@RoSario-vb8ge]

This is a very lovely advice ❤

[@Sirissssss]

This is sometimes true for humans also re neck and atlas part related to vestibular system. My old dog used to get nystagmus but it used to pass. I think vestibular system might be damaged but the brain and body learn to adapt and habituate both in humans and dogs

Then your story of Melinda Sue from another part of our universe touched my heart. This showed mecwe are all connected in some way, by our hearts, our spirits. TY for your beautiful message and for lifting my heart up, making me feel better.mi send you live and brightness into your days. I will send prayers to the Heavens for your Nanook..

[@mooneye07]

Nanook will recover from the vestibulair syndrome. We have a kennel with Siberian huskies and at least 5 of older dogs got this syndrome. Most of them where within a week much better. They lost their balance a little for ever but were happy and continued their retirement. Stay positive and optimistic, dogs are so resilient it’s we humans who suffers the most when our beloved ones are sick 💜

[@TakeTheRide]

As a scuba diver, I know that if you get a bacterial infection such as a cough or a cold, it can spread through the sinus cavities and then it will affect the eustachian tubes in the inner ear, which will affect balance. That could be it as well. Antibiotics and decongestants will clear that up. Running a fever is a sign of bacterial infection. Prayers for Nannook an his speedy recovery. Prayers for your stress levels as well. Hopefully he'll be back to his normal self soon. Hugs from the Carolinas, USA.

[@kimstewart2344]

Jonna, hello from NY. I'm crying listening to you. Our dog was so loved, and she got sick at 12 yrs old. It was awful and she passed on my lap, after the vet put her at peace. It's terrible, but I heard the most true statement from an animal Dr. " It's not the dogs who fear to go, because it's nature. It's the people who love them, who suffer when they have to go". I still cry when I think of all my sweet pets, but they're happy now, feel no pain. Just love him and help him feel safe, as his life is only the both of you. Also, your dreams might be bothering you because maybe you haven't been painting like you feel you should be? You feel down deep, your studio is there for you and the work you want to get done? Try a new art project, and it might lessen your bad dreams. You have a lot going on with the other new business in town, so in your dreams, your studio is calling you? I wish you peace with Nanoock

[@anikasveganlife2271]

Dear Jonna. I am so sorry to hear the health scares you had with Nanouk! I am a vet nurse. The vestibular syndrome is awful to look at. We can only treat symptoms. Cerenia tablets for nausea in the beggining. And what we like to give elderly dogs is Karsivan or Propentotab which helps with blood circulation. We leave them on it as a lifelong therapy. What could also help his cognitive function and is only natural ingredients is "Aktivait". Sending you lots of love ❤

[@detleftibax]

I wonder if there are specific movements a physiotherapist can do with Nanouk's head, like with humans. I had BPVV (BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITION DIZZINESS) and it took months to get rid of it, but in the end it worked. Not sure if you can apply to animals?

Love you, puppy! ❤

[@maradeejacoby49]

Our dog had this. The treatment from the vet was instantly helpful. It was motion sickness medicine: Meclizine and Dimenhydrinate. Your veterinarian can tell you the dosage. After 1 hour she was improved and 3 days of medicine, completely better. We had rushed her to vet because we thought she had a stroke. Sending love to Nanuk and you who love him so very much.❤

[@hillsandvalleyshomestead7576]

Ours gave us those for our dog also. plus prednisone

[@donnahanderson9181]

Yes keep this medication on hand in case Nanook gets another episode. I am a 56 year old woman and I get vestibular issues myself. The anti-nausea medication really helps. Lack of vitamin D is also associated with vertigo. Also maybe Nanook got an infection in his middle ear when he had the cough? That is what happened to me … if I get a cold or flu I can get vertigo a few days after due to a viral infection. Get medication from the vet so you can give it to Nanook if he gets another attack of vertigo. 💕💝💕

My uncle (here in the western United States) grew up on a ranch. He was pretty tough, and never showed much emotion. He went on two year mission for his church when he was about 20 years old. He worked when he was sick, he worked when he needed to go to the hospital and get stiches, he worked when his fiance broke up with him. But when his horse died, that he had had since he was 5 years old, he was so distraught that he couldn't work for a week!

Catching fire could symbolize that your artwork becomes famous as in your work is 'on fire'.

[@megsmith549]

I run an animal rescue and we have had some success with lavender oil for dizziness in guinea pigs with vestibular issues. We rub it on their ears. It doesn't cure anything, but it might relieve some of Nanuk's symptoms. It's also soothing for them. My heart is with you, Jonna. Peace, light, and love.

[@somanath6458]

Jonna, you literally have no idea of what kind of huge fan base you have here in India 🇮🇳... Love all your work... Nordic n Scandinavian vibes hits different for tropical people like us,,it's like divine heaven .

Im so happy to hear that! I see on the analytics of my KZbin channel that India is among the top countries! Amazing! I love India and really want to visit some day! 😍

Yes I am Indian too!! But my heart belongs to that true nature ❤ I love you u....YOU are inspiration for me❤😊

Вы очень добрый, светлый человечек. Когда я смотрю Ваши видео, моя душа исцеляется. Пусть Боги хранят вас.

[@Denise921]

We bought a vetpad when our dogs got older. It’s a blanket with a rubber underside so the dog can walk better without slipping. Maybe it helps with the vestibular condition as well? I wish you all the best!

[@clints8731]

I remember when my favorite horse died. I was 22 years old. I cried and cried. He was the embodiment of beauty and strength. He was so smart and well behaved. It wouldn't be worth having them if we didn't love them. And a hurting heart offers tribute to their memory. I'm sure your dog knows that he is in very good and loving hands. I'm sure he has many days ahead.

[@juliek.4499]

Hey Joanna! I work with a homeopatic veterinarian in Greece and we had to condole a lot of owners about their hardships, losses and grieve with their pets. The most important thing that we tell them is this: The pet does not understand why their owner is worried or sad and thus this makes itself sad. It is not the fact that it is not feeling good or sick. The pain is only for that exact moment that it is hurting and then it moves on for the day. What I am trying to say is to try to be happy for the good progress and cheer Nanook up (I know it is hard, as i lost my senior dog recently) but trust me this will help him with the recovery. Our pets are sensitive to what emotions we give out. Give him treaats, give him hugs but not with fear of loss but with love and try not to be worried around him! I'm sorry if i came out harsh and what i'm about to say is hard. At some point of your life you know the time will come that you will have to let go. This is the natural order of life and nature itself. Our pets aren't afraid, they just pass on without fear, without regrets. They just go to a painless sleep. Just like my Jena moved on 2 weeks ago. You are such a beautifull soul and i know that you understand the way of life and nature! You've got this! I know you can do it and Nanook can too, he can get better with your good energy! With outmost love, Julia. And I hope i can ease some of the sadness of many other owners that are having hardships or with their loss!

[@Gmaelaura]

Grief and love are joined. Where there was great love there will be great grief. With time, we can let go of loss, but never of love. Those we love become a part of us, and in that way, never die. What a blessing you are to Nanook and he to you. Blessings and light to you, Jonna. The loss of an animal kindred spirit is one of the toughest things to endure, but he still has life to live yet and I know you'll make it beautiful! Lots of love from New Mexico

[@Shelty6]

Oh Jonna. I am so sorry you are going through this. My dog Pippin got that too at 15 years old. It was horrible to watch. We gave something called Cerenia for nausea. Watching them age is not easy. My Pippin got over the Vestibular in 24 hours. But as the year went on he aged and in November he started to refuse food which was not like him. He was a food maniac. After a few weeks of trying to get him to eat and bloodwork from vet showed kidney disease. He was so tired. Two days after Thanksgiving we had to help him cross over. It is so hard. Sending love and strength to you all.

[@christa526]

You talking is never a boring video. None of us will ever be ready. Oh, how we love Nanook, the beautiful spirit. I am praying for you and Nanook in Tennessee.

[@describer99]

I’m a writer and I worked for years in corporate jobs to earn a living. When I would go for long periods without writing, I would get very low and depressed. I’m not a therapist, but I wonder if you start painting regularly again, that your dreams about your studio will fade away. Writing always lifted my spirits. Thinking of you, and sending prayers for Nanook.

[@jachellekarimi6924]

Oh Jonna, I’m so sorry 😞 we just lost our little bear two days ago to something very similar. Nanook is loved by so many! Sending healing hugs and love to you and the boys.

[@carmenstein8382]

Thank you so much for Sharing. I am crying for you so much! I love him as much as I love you and your work. And your wonderful husband

[@josimpson7999]

Jonna, you could never be boring! Chat all you want about your gorgeous little boy, we are all here for you and him. He’s part of your family and life, so it’s perfectly natural to feel worried and anxious when he’s ill. I hope by now he’s fit and well again - and excited for his delicious treat. Sending you much ❤️ and best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧

[@terrifiorelli9819]

I had vertigo and it was so horrible. When it hit, it threw me head first into the wall. I was so scared. The ER doctor did a test to make it happen again so he could see it to diagnose. It is similar to your dog. Yes, it makes you very sick to your stomach. Your dog is very beautiful.

Ohhh so do I, I moved from Yorkshire in England that got a heck of a lot of snow at winter to a place near the ocean that's lucky to get a days fall a year..I didn't know what i had till I no longer have it.

[@lilicsuka8571]

You shouldn't shy away from using art to express those tough emotions either. Some of the most incredible artworks come from raw, vulnerable places. Embrace the full spectrum of your feelings and how they transform into something beautiful or powerful:)

[@mistress9sama]

This might sound crazy or silly but it may just work; sometimes in order to get rid of the fear, you have to creatively get it out of your mind and into a canvas. What you should do is make a painting of that art studio on 🔥 then options of either getting rid of it by selling said painting, donating it off, burying it or setting it on fire... Or perhaps hang it somewhere in the studio and make a weird shrine out of it, like if you offer milk and cookies to the weird painting, the studio spirit will stop with the weird hauntings in your sleep. I honestly think it would be cool to do a painting of Nanook. It might be a challenge because sometimes artists paint landscape better than portraits of humans and animals but it may be a cool challenge to give to yourself. Perhaps once you paint the art studio and Nanook, good things will happen!

[@sorottya]

It feels like to me, that your nightmares are more connected to Nanook, than to your art studio. The fact that as humans, we don’t have the immidiate power to help our loved ones in theese situations are hearbreaking. We try to put the moving of time away from our eyesight, trying not to think of the end of our pets’ lifes even our brains handle the topic so carefully, in methaphors. Wish you strenght, you are a wonderful mom to Nanook, both of you are very lucky to found eachother.

[@ZephysHomestead]

I went thru a very difficult season with our livestock dog who had a twisted intestine and then kidney failure. She went from 145 lbs to 95 lbs. it was a very difficult to be part of this time for me It consumed so much of my time along with our lifestyle in our off grid mountsin life. Serun-mean beautiful in Armenia was a gift to me and we have been so connected since day one So I understand the connection you have with Nanook. Serun survived and honestly it was nothing short of a miracle. She survived Abd I thought more than once she was t going to make it . The Creator had other plans. I pray Nanook begins to heal. Sing songs of gratefulness and joy as you wait his recovery. I filmed Seruns journey on my KZbin channel . Thank you for your encouragement to get started on the new season in my life.

[@marciasmusic3010]

Our Bichon Sophie suffered from Vestibular Disease when she was 12..it was awful and scary.. our vet had us buy a security jacket online to wrap around her.. it did help a bit. She worked through it.. and she lived to be 15… we miss her and love her always. We adopted a little Yorkiechon, Nellie. Nothing replaces Sophie.. but she is wonderful. You will move through this with dear Nanook.. sending love and caring thoughts to you both and your beloved Nanook. 🐾🐾🐶🙏🏻❤

[@twoforonecreativelife]

Yes, I hear the whisper. I feel like I’ve been denying it was there for several years. When you said the words, “breaking your own walls”, I related so deeply that my eyes filled with tears. Why we block ourselves I do not know. Things get in the way I suppose. It feels, to me, that my spirit shrinks to fit into a tiny little space deep inside and once it’s there, it’s hard to let it out. I deny it, ignore it, pretend I’ve more important things to do. Thing is, without my spirit, I am just going through the motions of life without really living it…which is sad, really. Empty. All this is to say that I appreciate you. Every video, regardless of the topic, that you release has a moment that really resonates with me. Something you say or a beautiful visual you capture through your lens hits me right in the heart. This video was no different; I completely understand what you’re saying and feel the same right now. So thank you ❤. So much. Let’s break those walls! For Nanook, I’m sending so much love. To you all. Bless his sweet soul. May you all have much more time together 🤎🤍

[@SatiricalSarah]

"my spirit shrinks to fill a tiny little space deep inside" WOW I felt that, so beautifully said. I've been doing that my entire life. Time to break down some walls! 💪💖

[@irenes3490]

[@jenniferb.7250]

Jonna, I’m so sorry you had to go through this with Nanook.This happened with our sweet Louie when he was old. We too thought it was a stroke and found out it was the vestibular syndrome. Our vet gave him something for the nausea which helped a lot. We kept him safe and comfortable making sure he didn’t go on the stairs. I slept with him on the floor for a week. He was much better in about two weeks. He went on to live two more years to age 16. I felt in my heart when you said you weren’t ready. I felt the same. He let us know when he was ready.💔 I will pray that Nanook’s health is restored and you can have many more joyous days together.❤

[@logordo77]

My old dog (who lived to be 15) got this vestibular disease when he was about 13. It was awful and so scary. It took about a week, but he did recover. And I got 2 more beautiful years with the my sweet boy.

[@littlefernfae]

Jonna, I am so sorry for your sadness and for nanook. I just discovered you and I’ve been trying to watch all of your videos and send my support with likes, but here is a little bit more. Thank you so much for being yourself and sharing your world with us. You have such a beautiful soul and your videos and jewelry and paintings and music and little family are soo beautiful. You have inspired me so much in the last 3 days I’ve been watching. I work from home and play your videos on repeat 24/7 now! I will pray to all the gods that nanook stays healthy as long as possible. Even though it is a sad time, nanook loves you so much and is so happy and grateful for all you do for him, and he doesn’t want you to be sad. Embrace every moment you have and know he will always be in your heart, always, always. Lastly, no matter what your soul is telling you to do, paint, sing, play, cry, scream, love, we all want you to follow your heart and do what makes YOU happy. We love you!! 💙💚💜

Dearest Jonna, my beautiful friend that I have never met. I am over 50 and have my first dog, who is 8.

Whatever happens, Nanook knows that he is TRULY loved and will be until the end. . .which will hopefully still be a long while! xo

Poor Nanook! I immediately felt a big lump in my throat and teared up when I heard he hasn't been doing well the past weeks. I am so sorry to hear about this! He is such a precious soul, you're so lucky to have him and he's the luckiest to have you, too. I wish you and Nanook all the very best💗

[@JeanineDeal]

So sorry to hear about Nanook! Purina dog food has been making a lot of dogs sick. One of our cats developed vestibular syndrome also. He still walks with a head-tilt, but he's doing fine now and doesn't stumble, despite his head-tilt. Also, people who turn the WiFi and all wireless (cell phones, devices, etc.) OFF at night report a dramatic change for the better in their dreams and sleep.

Our elderly coonhound just had this disease & our vet’s office said that it was the day for it & many dogs had been seen for it that day. It was during that extremely cold weather in January in the US.

[@pamelathonus4324]

Sweet Jonna, I am so sorry to hear about Nanook and how hard it's been for you all. I am sending you SO MUCH love! I am doing a course about energy at the moment and I have just learned how to tap into the collective healing energy. Each morning I've been practicing how to heal myself and others. I will dedicate tommorows meditation to Nanook and send out a healing energy ball. As I am writing this, I realize that at this exact moment you have the jewelry that I ordered at your home to hang it outside one of these days, which makes writing this comment even more special because I rarely comment. You get so many comments that I start thinking "Will my comment even matter, because there will be so many beautiful comments already." But it matters and it solidifies the energy that I am sending you and dear Nanook. Take care, I love you, your energy is so beautiful and pure ❤❤

[@MrJdblanco17]

Hi Jonna. You don't know me, but I've been a long-time fan and subscriber of your channel, yet I don't think I've ever commented on any of your videos. This may be a first for me. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you, because out of ALL the channels I subscribe to, yours is the one which holds a special place because of your authenticity, your passion, and the beautiful spirit you possess. Your videos and your talks always put me in a calm and peaceful state. Thank you for your positivity and good vibes, and for sharing that with the world. How things are going now a days, your message is very helpful. I would love to share more about myself, but I rather do so on a one to one correspondence, rather than for the masses. Anyway, I hope you continue to create and be creative. May God bless you and your loved ones.

I personally relate with every part of this video. My precious boy Bailey (he was my golden retriever) had this happen a few months before he passed. He was my version of Nanook. We grew up together too. The true reasons why we put things off and the reasons we tell ourselves we can’t. Walls we build. Yes I relate to it all. Don’t be afraid to put your emotions into your art. I’ll be here breaking my walls down along with you 😊 i know it will be difficult in ways but it is needed. I have watched you for a while now, your energy is beautiful and touches each one of us❤

I found your channel a month ago and since then it has become my safe space. I feel very connected with you and other people here in the comments, even though this is my first comment. Funny that before this video, I was just about to start sewing again after 5 years that I've been avoiding it because of the same reasons that you mentioned. I'm definitely taking part of this challenge of breaking walls with you, let's do it! You have also reminded me to enjoy the beauty and magic of the world and nature around me, thank you so much. I think you are a gift to the world! Love and hugs from Northern Finland to you and everybody else that sees this comment❤️
