Many people here are not for the cinematic videos ( although they are so beautiful), we are here for you. To be a part of your journey and make you a part of ours. I too am in an uncertain time in my life and just your presence through this video brings me joy. Know that you are so loved not for what you offer but for who you are. Sending you much love Jonna🫶
I couldn't have expressed it better, that's exactly how it is and that's how I feel. I just love seeing and listening to Jonna, no matter where she is! Her pure presence is great !🩷✨ I hope, dear @jonnajinton , that you get through this difficult phase well! Lots of strength and love! ❤️ Things will soon be looking up again 🍀🫶🏼
@@jonnajinton Love and thoughts from Australia Jonna. 🙏🐕Millions are struggling globally. Stock up BIGTIME with Food. Its back to living off the land and trading with likeminded folks. Love and light. 💕🐕🙏 Pete NSW Au.
Jonna you don't have idea how much you impacted me through the way you show up in this world. So much softness and depth. I know watching someone from a video doesn't encapsulate their entire being and their life. I'm just beyond grateful I get to live in this time where I have access to see people like you and be deeply inspired. Thank you
Aww, Jonna, yes many of us are struggling and cannot fully reveal the issues that are taking place in real time. I just want to say, that even though we have never met, I say prayers and you are included in them because you are a treasure to all of us and I send my love to you and Nanook❤❤❤
It sounds like you’re learning more sustainable ways to nourish your heart without the gaze of the world being part of that. Don’t worry about when and how often you post unless you want to worry about it… your authenticity and being who you are is all you need!❤❤❤big hug and kiss to you and Nanook 💖🌅☁️🍂🧡😘
Nothing is more beautiful than the truth about the imperfection of this dance called life because when we really look, we see all that the dark has taught us about the light. 😊
Joanna I hear you say Nanucks world is shrinking but YOU are his world. I truly believe that for our beloved dogs it is being with us that brings them the joy, whatever the location. My heart is already breaking for you knowing my own heart has endured the pain of losing them. ❤
THIS video is exactly why I follow you. Your vulnerability to share the tough times is authentic and I believe everyone who watches you can relate to the ups and downs, especially in today's inverted world. Hang in there and continue to be inspired by Nature's Beauty and the quantum field of Love then turn around and share it with us. The world needs more of what you give. We love you, Jonna.
Sorry for the difficult time you are going through Jonna and thank you for sharing. It's so refreshing to see NORMAL in a "Perfect World" where everyone is being "Superficial" on their social media - using filters and faking exct. Sending love and hugs, hope you will experience positive personal growth through this difficult period in your life ❤ we can Only truly appreciate our MOUNTAIN TOP moments, after walking through our VALLEYS days🫶 ❤
Thank you for this video. I hope that even you have hard times now. Give yourself time and pick a beautiful berry after berry yourself back. Healing takes time! Lots of love for you and Nanook. 💚✨ 15:22
As much as nanook was exhausted after, I bet he doesn’t regret it the fun of meatballs in the woods. It’s those times of joy that make the rest of the time worth while. I have an older dog and she’s slowing down, she has muscle aches after a trip to the beach, but I, my wife and our dog dog all get so much joy from those times and as long as she has time to rest, it’s ok.
I remember when we play with my elderly dog (she was very much like Nanook), she just couldn't stop. Even when we told her it was time to rest, she would just continue to play with rocks, sticks and cats. I bet Nanook love his fun too, it's good for him and he will have no regrets ❤
I came here to say the same thing and to offer a recommendation… our senior dog also loves walks but she couldn’t keep up and was limping. I started giving her a chewable tablet from the vet for joint health that contains glucosamine HCL, chondroitin sulphate and MSM. After 3 days of this supplement, she was showing dramatic improvements. She was running again, no limp and much more active. I know she’s old, this won’t extend her life but it gave her back her vitality. Maybe Nanook would benefit from a similar supplement?
I don’t think it quite matters to us what exactly your videos are about. I feel like the majority of us are here for you, and the love and good feelings that you bring us. I know personally, every time I watch one of your videos I leave it feeling lighter, happier, and more hopeful about my life. Eternally thankful that I found you.❤️
Hi Jonna, I’m from the united states, I’m a widow and quite alone ! But not lonely ! You are such a beautiful person, inside and out ! And you bring happiness to so many people ! Just want to say thank you , and we love you ! 🌹
Do you not realise that we show up here to spend time with YOU and not the ‘content’? As wonderful as your content is, It doesn’t matter whether you post a cinematic sensation or just a sit down chat! You ARE your content and regardless of what it is, it never fails to bring authenticity, warmth and love to out hearts. You show up whenever you want, with whatever you want because true friendship is unconditional. Much love to you and Nanook ❤
From an old grandma, from Colombia, South America, I promise to pray the Lord brings you HIS JOY. Praying He gives you PEACE and you can endure in his Migthy Hands whatever is causing what you go through right now.
"From my heart" ... Jonna is always giving from her heart. That's why we're here. We appreciate that it's not just the sweeping, curated, wonderfully edited videos but also some real life and struggles. We're with you and we're for you. So many hopes for you. Still hopeful for sweet Nanook (my little dog is 15 and a half now... the slowing down is difficult to watch). Anyway, take care in the changes. We're cheering for you. We appreciate your thankfulness for us... but we're so thankful for you. You give us so much peace and beauty.
Jonna, I am an old man, and I absolutely love your songs. My great grandmother emigrated to the US from Sweden in 1867 at the age of 12 as an indentured servant. my great grandfather emigrated a few years later. Grandma became a midwife, grandpa became a teamster. Your songs bring out a great deal of emotions in my mind. Thank you
Jonna, I remember one of your vlogs with "be like a bison" phrase... it was a rough time in my life then, heartbroken, lost hopes, isolated, and I wrote that phrase and hang it on my wall, it was like a chant in my heart whenever I doubted myself, "be like a bison" I'm passing it back to you with gratitude :*
I bought the Be Like A Bison necklace for my son. To give him strength for himself and his lovely wife after the most heartbreaking loss a young couple should go through. Like you Maria I wish to send that same strength back. Jonna Jinton be like a Bison ♥️
From Spain I am sending you a big hug and very best wishes for whatever it is that the future brings you. I have enjoy3d every single one of your videos ever since I found you on UA-cam. Please come back soon. Much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I bought the necklace with this inscription for my son who has muscular dystrophy. He lost most of his muscle strength and is very limited in his movement . He wears the necklace every day and he is a force to be reckoned with. He writes poetry and novels, he embraces life to the fullest even though he can’t stretch out his arms to do it. Your beautiful energy is infused in all that you create, it makes us all try harder and enjoy every moment. Thank you 🙏 now you can count on us!! We are holding the space for you to find your way to more joy and peace. Take the time you need, we will wait until you are ready to takes us again on your magic carpet! Love you 🥰
I remember that one too. It was over 3 years ago. My mom died that night and this was the first video I saw. Me and my mom used to love watching Jonna's videos. It was what I needed to hear. But it is hard to be a buffalo.
Dear Jonna, I strongly believe that the majority of us who watch your videos are not expecting anything from you. You are one of the greatest story tellers we have had the blessing to watch on UA-cam, and the story you are sharing with the world is YOUR STORY, Jonna Jinnton’s Story. So please, don’t you ever feel like you owe us anything, because you don’t. You have all the right to do whatever you want with your videos and story. It is YOUR LIFE. The people who really watch your videos LOVES YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. In good and bad times. The fact that you care a lot what your followers think about you, speaks very highly of you, how big and wonderful heart you have and how much you care about other people. On behalf of your followers, we are so sorry you are feeling this way about your feelings, Nanook and personal life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in these difficult times. You are not alone. We hope that all those feelings and things you are going through will make sense in the future and that you will use them to grow and evolve into an even greater you, a more wise, strong, caring and more creative Jonna Jinton. Never forget to be kind to yourself and your feelings, just like you are kind with the world. Lastly, be patient with yourself and the process. Everything happens for a greater reason and God’s time is always perfect. With love, your UA-cam family and friends. 🫂🫶🏼🙏🏼🕊️
Perfectly said, thank you 🙏🏻 and for many of us, you see, it is needed sometimes. There is time to shine ✨ and time to be loved, and that’s what you are ❤ by thousands 🥰💝
Nanook is such a happy boy, and I am sure he still fully enjoyed his meatballs in the woods (such a cute idea!) even if it tired him out. This might sound weird, but my father is about to turn 96 and while his mind is still sharp, his body can no longer keep up, and due to various conditions, his world constantly narrows more and more, and it breaks my heart. Food is also his highlight, though his ability to taste is almost completely gone now. He is still happy. He does his own laundry, makes his own breakfast and lunch, plays cards with some friends, reads books, watches TV, does puzzles, works on projects. Always a smile on his face, in spite of everything. It is hard knowing he will never be able to come to my home again to eat a meal or see my Christmas tree. It is sad knowing I can't bring him to a restaurant or out for a drive to see the foliage or a view with mountains. Yet he is content with the little things in life and teaches me the value in the daily things rather than the big events we mark as milestones. So, I see my father in Nanook and they seem to be at the exact same stage, getting through each task, each day, each nap, each meal, with joy in their hearts and peace in their souls. I hope you find peace, too, during hard times. xxx
Bring tear to my eyes. 😢 I just lost a beloved cat. that was with me since childhood and he was my childhood and now left me to grow up, but I feel his spirit and I know it. This is way death of others and self isn't the worse for me. I know it is not the end and that the soul stays with us. But your story remind me for that my father is getting old and how many times have I dreamed he would one day pass on and I cant think of how many tears I would cry... he is just 75 but this is a lot. 😢😢😢
@@ofirshorshy8281Доброе утро! Рядом всегда наши любимые животные.Разговаривала с котенком и благодарила своего ушедшего котика, что он так быстро прислал мне защитницу Алиску. Тяжелые сны ночью, воздуха не хватало, а любимки наблюдали и создавали движение воздуха, как могли. Взрослый кот, над головой, чтоб проснулась. Все будет хорошо! Золотой осени!
Please take your time, Jonna. This video brought tears to my eyes, because you are so vulnerable and that is so beautiful. The energy you have always given throughout the years is incredible. It's pure love, your whole being!
One of the biggest reasons I've been watching you for so long, is the balance of peace and calm you bring and the perfect cinematography, with the reality of life and it's struggles. You inspire me to be creative, you've taught me to see beauty in even the smallest of things and you keep reminding me of how beautiful life and nature is. But you also show that it isn't always so perfect and peaceful. You and your videos have really helped me get through tough times. You always speak from your heart with such deep love and care. You are a truly beautiful person, Jonna. You don't need to worry about your videos being shorter or different from normal. We understand, and we want you to be well. It is okay to take the time you need. None of us want you to take on any more stress than you already have. We keep coming back to you for who you are as a person, not only for what you post. I really appreciate how you show both sides of life. It makes me feel like I'm hanging out with a friend, rather than a random person on screen. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm sure most of us would agree. Thank you for sharing all the beauty as well as the uncomfortable things. And for always speaking from your heart. Take care of yourself, Jonna. We are here for you
Nanook is so well loved Jonna. When he does pass away, hopefully not for a long time, Nanook will tell all his friends over the rainbow bridge that he got to live so many wonderful years with an ageless elf that always loved him and fed him meatballs. When my Thor passed, It hurt so badly, but I could almost feel his spirit gently comforting me and almost telling me he would always be with me. Much love to you Jonna, Johan, and Nanook.
So beautifully said. Jonna, I feel the same ATM, just totally flat, and I can't find my smile. However, when I put your videos on, it helps so much. Please take care, my friend, and know you are loved and needed. I'm sending all my love to you and Nanook. ❤ Ally
Your videos are extraordinary not because they're cinematic masterpieces, or works of art, though they often are. They stand out because of you. And because you are human, all the facets are not the same, but it still glitters. I appreciate your honesty and I respect your need for space. I often do. And life is hard, just know your viewers understand
I have watched many videos that a similar to this (cinematographically wise) but not one of them come close to Jonna’s.. which is very simply, because they are not Jonna. So much love from the other side of the world Jonna.. the very south of Tasmania ❤
I think the main theme of this channel is to really experience the seasons, to really feel them. Because of that, Jonna has suck a good perception of the time passing by. The scene of she helping Nanook to get out of the van and then patiently walking with this now old dog was so beautiful. She really treasures each moment with him and comprehends that time is passing by. This was a beautiful video.
It's so hard watching a beloved pet grow old and frail. My older cat, Milo, just recently turned 16 and despite having kidney disease he's in pretty good shape. But it is difficult knowing that time is becoming limited with him, just like you feel with your dog. It's almost like mourning before they eventually pass away. It's the price we pay for loving them as much as we do. Sending you and Nanuk gentle hugs from Wisconsin.
My beautiful best friend senior dog Gypsy passed away 2weeks ago.She was 18 years old.She had slowed down in the last 4 years of her life and it had become too hard to take her to the beach and do all the things we loved and used to do before.But like Jonna said Nanook is,she was still happy just walking around the yard,barking at other dogs & people walking past the gate.Enjoying the sun.She also loved her food very much.She still looked good even at 18,with thick healthy coat etc then 2 weeks ago she didnt want to eat anymore.Her appetite had started to lessen a week b4 this.Then in 4 days she declined rapidly and could no longer walk.I had already started to mourn her weeks before she passed as i just knew her time was coming.Ive cried a river of tears and missing her soo much.Its been so hard.Lost a good friend just 3 months ago as well.Was very sudden ,unexpected and a huge shock.Still feel in disbelief and so much grief.So much changing in my life as well.Feel very much lost,down and unmotivated so can empathise with the way you are feeling dear Jonna.Sending you so much love🩷💖🌸 take good care of yourself Xxx
@@monika2231 Think of the beautiful blessing that your dog chose you to be her human mother, to share her love with you, and live her physical life here on Earth with you. What a privilege. You have loved her well, and still do. She most definitely carried that love with her when she travelled over the Rainbow Bridge....and feels that love even now.
@@karlenemacdonald6549Thank you soo much Karlene for your kind words. I don’t know why I didn’t see your message till now. It’s been a little over 6 weeks now since Gypsy crossed the rainbow bridge , as you so beautifully described it. Its still sooo very hard.I still shed tears several times a day everyday.It still hurts so much , but I have felt her presence around. Sometimes I can hear her breathing the way she used to breathe when she slept near me. She also used to tap with her nails on the back glass sliding door to let her in when she would want to come inside, and I heard that tapping the other day.I went to the back door but there was no-one or nothing there. Im not sure if she knows that she has transited to the next dimension yet. This other thing that happened was also so strange; about a week ago we had some fairly heavy rain and i was in the lounge room and i heard so distinctly in the kitchen/dining area the exact sound she used to make when she would shake her coat off when she was wet after she would come in from the rain.I was the only person in the house and I was just sitting on the lounge in silence,there were no other noises around , so the sound I heard was very clear ,distinct and very real.This isn’t the first time that I’ve had such experiences.I guess it just reinforces what I already know,that the spirit lives on forever🌈🦋🌸
Remember Jonna, be like the buffalo! Cows run away from the storm while the buffalo charges toward it and gets through it quicker. Don't prolong the torment. Become the buffalo! I'm sending you all the love and light I can. You are an amazing soul and you deserve healing quickly.... go be the buffalo!
It’s an old Indian American saying/ legend. They strongly connect with buffaloes - sacred, totemic animals and symbols- not only as life giving and life saving animal. As power, power will, as mother
Aw, Jonna, we come to see *you*, really - you are like a beloved cousin to 5 million people ... we all wish we could sit next to you, give you a hug, watch the sunset and maybe share a cup of coffee. But no demands. Sometimes you need to just "be". Please, feel no pressure, but just feel all your cousins supporting you.
Thank you for sharing Jonna. Take your time and honour your feelings and needs. We will be here no matter what you decide. The first most important thing is for you to be well.
Watching these shorter, less cinematic videos feels like listening to a kind friend you've known for a long time. I listen, I nod along, I empathize and think kind thoughts in your direction and say kind words "to you". I know that sounds silly and a bit mad but I've been watching your videos for years and feel a level of comfort with your videos. I am sorry you're struggling- it's human to struggle and in those moments we are the most human. Thank you for sharing- I am honored to hold space for you♡ Please take care.😊
Thanks for being so open and vulnerable with us, Jonna. I think it helps many of us feel less alone in our struggles when we know people we admire go through similar difficulties. I have felt creatively empty for such a long time, but your video makes me want to try again. 💛
It's hard to see Nanook getting old. When i started to watch and following you he was such a full of life walking, running... it opens a wound with my last dog watching him slowly being closer to passing away. Hopefully you can enjoy and spend all the time with him now every minute giving him hugs and kisses. Be strong sweet Jonna. Take your time. Be with Nanook for now. Sending him love. 💛🕯
I remember those days too 😊Aging can be very beautiful. All the memories across their stages of development. It can also be very difficult for loved ones to experience. Gotta hold onto the joy they bring us ☺
Dear Jonna, you have the right to be sad, to be tired, to not feel like it, I think your body is talking to you and needs to slow down. you have done so much in recent months, you have given so much energy!! Sometimes you have to come back to yourself, to your darker side to find even more light and you are a real sun☀️ you radiate so much that you need to recharge. Be gentle with yourself Courage Jonna, we love you very much! Tender hugs to you and Nanook❤❤
Dear lovely Jonna, sometimes, when we give so much, in love and life, and create as much as you've worked upon, this summer, with enthusiasm, our energy-system needs to call us back, saying "Slow down, only this much my nervous system can handle, you need to take time out, and reflect on your achievements and expectations". So, I suggest don't put to much on your plate right now, take naps, and sit with yourself in good companionship, welcoming how you feel with love for yourself, inviting your angels to keep an eye on you, supporting you. Know that you are loved. 💗🤗
Dearest Jonna, yes I can relate. It sounds that you're doing a lot of things right. Take your time, go out in nature, don't let the wall grow too high. We all have those times, struggling. I send you and Nanook tons of LOVE! And I am grateful about you and your beautiful work! ❤
I love ALL your videos Jonna. All the ups and downs. All the light and dark. All the truth and beauty that you bring to the world, by just showing up as YOU. Whatever you share, we are all grateful. x
Everything online is so curated and so many people show only the highlights - it’s a bit toxic. You’re a breath of fresh air. I guess sometimes all we need is to see someone being human just like the rest of us, to remind us we’re not alone in our struggles. I hope you find your joy and creative spark again soon. Sending lots of love to Nanook. You’re two beautiful souls!
My grandmother always would say, "this too shall pass" and it will. Immerse yourself in nature and feel the energy around you. Take your time and sometimes, through the tough stuff, your creativity will become greater. Hang in there and I'm sending you a hug❤
I so appreciate the time you spend with your dog. I have two sled dogs and one is almost 13 and I am sending you and your dog love energy. It's very wonderful to see you all 🙏
Your relationship with Nanook is so much like my soul dog, Moose. He was with me out in the forest & nature everyday, and went through all my life milestones - single life, marriage, and the birth of my daughter. A piece of me died with him, and I pray that I will be able to see him again when it comes my time. There is nothing like the love and companionship of a special dog. Don't be upset with yourself indulging Nanook with all his special celebrations. Yes, he may be sore the next day, but it was all worth it for him - trust me. Make him comfortable, spoil him, get in all those cuddles and special memories. Live each day to it's fullest abundance. Be gentle with yourself as well, Jonna. People who are deep feelers can be so hard on ourselves. Enjoy and embrace your time alone, and be ok with giving yourself grace. Sending hugs!
One thing that isn't talked about a lot is the dread of having to say goodbye to your furry loved ones. It's knowledge we all take on when we bring them into our hearts, but it's never something that you can really prepare for. When my beloved cat, Chloe, neared the end of her life, I knew it was coming. I feel like I mourned her before she was even gone, and some days, I would just cry at the thought of losing her. And when she did pass, it was so painful, I literally couldn't keep food down for over a day. A part of my heart will always belong to her, and we took in two new kittens and some of my heart is with them. The love will always be there, and it's limitless.
I had the same feeling with my male cat, Bran. He was a giant black cat with yellow eyes, always figthing with other cats, coming back with injuries.. I spent so much time with him when he was a kitten, I still remember each and every moment.. after him disappearing I just said I will never have an other cat. No cat would be like him.
There is one consolation when your pet dies. t is that you have given him/her a wonderful and joyous life. Let that bring you peace when Nanook's time comes.
Jonna- it’s in the unknown that magic happens.. it can be scary but it means something beautiful is on the horizon. Often things that aren’t meant for us fall apart and this is incredibly painful, but it’s just making room for the beauty that is. I hope in a year you can look back and feel deeply grateful for these tough moments. Sending you so much love!
We love you Jonna. Take as long as you need and you don't need to tell us anything you're not comfortable telling us. Change is hard. You share so much of yourself with the world. You are allowed to keep some of yourself just for you. Doing something that brings you joy every day is a great idea. Much love to you, Johan, and Nanuk. ❤
Dear Jonna, I am absolutely overwhelmed by the love in this comment section. What an honour to be part of this online-family that you have created! I discovered your channel a few years ago, when I was struggling a lot with life. Nothing felt safe, every believe and every vision that I had about my life seemed to be shattered. Your beautiful energy, your honest vulerability, the peace and the healing powers of nature, that you somehow manage to capture in your art, were so therapeutic and they helped a lot finding my own path in life again. We, as a community, don‘t expect anything from you. Just take your time, heal, create melancholic content if you want to or happy content or none at all, either is fine. We will be waiting for you as long as you need and hopefully we can give back at least a part of the love that you have given to us in the last years. I‘d like to share a famous quote by Leonard Cohen that helps me a lot whenever I feel broken and uncertain. „Ring the bells that still can ring, forget your perfect offering, there‘s a crack in everything, That‘s how the light gets in“ Also, a wise woman once told me to „be like the bison“ ;) Lots of love for you and Nanook ❤️
Nanook is a wonderful dog! We are just blessed to have our fur babies for a short period of time in our lives. I don’t think a house is a home without a cat or dog. Hang in there for him especially when he passes because they want to see our faces when they pass and we’re there for us. Praying for you for more strength and getting through this.
Thank you for linking up with the Willow Hand Channel -- for me, at age 79, pushing 80, this mix somehow brings me some feeling of connection with my long-gone parents and their friends who were great appreciators of the beauty contained on this Planet Earth. Personally and planetarily, I believe we'll see bigger forces toward rescue than toward destruction, but not every day. (Hope my finances will stabilize soon, so I can pay in to your group here! Thanks for being a voice that helps!)
Never underestimate the value in authenticity and normalcy. Those are our greatest stabilizers in this life. It’s a blessing to find others, our kindred others, that help us walk when we’re wobbly. We each do that, and isn’t it wonderful this community you founded! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please hug Nanook for me. ❤
Jonna, I've been watching you from the beginning. Your creativity and your perspective has literally changed my life. I found you right after I moved to rural Northern Utah from France and your videos made me so incredibly grateful to be creating my life in the mountains. I had lived a fast-paced life in a French city before and the shift to a small mountain town was a hard adjustment at first. Your channel was my saving grace, as it taught me to really learn to appreciate the exquisite nature around me, a slower pace of living, and the changing seasons. I'm sorry to hear you are going through this hard time. Please just know you have such a positive impact on so many people around the world. You, just as you are, are such a blessing to all of us. You've got a whole community of people behind you. Please remember that when these difficult times arise. Sending you so much love.
I think a lot of people having this feeling of an unknown future and a blank paper. I definitely experience it right now and it's not easy to stare into nothing. But nothing also contains everything. I wish that you will receive great visions and clarity soon. And all the best for sweet Nanook ❤
Dear Jonna Jinton! I'm sharing this from my hard too: I've been watching your beautiful videos for many years, seeing your creative path and much more. I also love nature and working with cameras. Especially when I was still single, your videos and those of other UA-camrs, yours and their interesting stories, helped me a lot to get through the long and lonely times of lockdown. I would like to say a big thank you for that! It affects me too to see when an animal ages quickly. It was terrible to see how sick you sometimes looked in the last two winters because of the months of darkness - and to hear what you yourself said about it. I've seen how much you and Johann have created, expanded, rebuilt and built up in the last few years (houses, outbuildings, garden, minibus, sales point/shipping, studio), and on top of that these harsh winters. Sometimes the body and mind need long breaks to recover. I'm getting older and the older I get, the more I notice that the long, grey and wet winters here in the German mountains are getting to me. Next year, that's one of the main reasons why I want to emigrate to sunny Spain with my girlfriend. Maybe you should open a branch in a warm country to sell your beautiful Nordic silver jewelry and your art... a small property with a small apartment for the winter holidays. Stays abroad can also bring some inspiration to any creative person. I wish you lots of luck and success in all your endeavors!
When I was struggling with my own life, your videos were and are still the biggest comfort and motivation that I turned to. So I hope that when you are feeling all the lows and all the highs, know that we will always be here waiting and supporting you all the way through ❤️
Dearest Jonna, I'm also having a similar feeling at the moment and today was one of my lowest mental health days in a long time. You appearing on my feed and sharing your wonderful calm spirit and soul with us is like a balm to mine. I'm so sorry for your struggles and your sadness but because of your wonderful generosity in sharing yourself, you have made me feel less alone. Your presence is, as always, magically healing. ✨God Bless you and Nanook and all your family. With all my love, Coco xx
A tiny piece of Nanook is my dog. I think thousands feel the same. We can learn so much from dogs about staying in the present. No matter if the forest doesn't work for him anymore, he has the people he loves, so his world is as huge as his heart.
Every time I spot a new video of yours, I feel the same rush of joy as when I meet up with my sister after a long time again. You've been our friend and family member for so many years, we are not going anywhere. Whatever hardships you are going through, we're here with you ♥️ sending lots of love and patience to take root in the beautiful forest all around you 🦌
It's quite amazing how we manage to get through some of the dark times we encounter. There's always a light...Jonna, I hope you're aware of the peace and calmness you emanate. You've certainly brought joy and hope to me through your videos. Thank you. All good things to you.
Dearest Jonna, your face shows your inner turmoil right now, the exhaustion you feel, the at times hopeless feelings, these however, will be fleeting as you birth a new side to you and new adventures unfold. Your gentle heart, humility and authenticity will always shine through. The fact that you can speak your truth to all of us is a shining example of the purity of your soul. We are ALL here for you. xx
Jonna, You are graced and blessed from nature, use it as you have shown ALL of us to heal and get through, Day at a time and we are always there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If only I could express to you how much you have helped me through my life. Hugs to you!
Jonna, you have such a beautiful soul. Please take whatever time you need and know that all of us who love you will be here when you are feeling up to it. Please take good care of yourself. You truly are a treasure in this world. Sending you love from Alberta, Canada.
La vie n’est pas un long fleuve tranquille …nous rencontrons des difficultés, chagrins , désillusions , deuils …. Nous sommes malmenés parfois , secoués, terrassés ….c’est ca « l’expérience de la vie » qui va nous façonner au fil des années , forger notre esprit, arrondir nos angles …. Et nous faire rencontrer de belles personnes pour avancer courageusement !!! Joanna , après la tempête vient toujours le soleil …. NE JAMAIS PERDRE ESPOIR Une grand mère qui te prend dans ses bras
I want to give you A warm hug. I know the feeling you talk about really wel, and I think it’s very authentic of you to share it with us ❤ breath by breath, day by day you will find a way through all of it, the dark and the light, the hurt and the pain, the good and the smiles. ❤ I wish you the time you need and send you A warm heart 💖
Bless you for being so open. Nanook is a beautiful blessing, and every day you can spend with him is a treasure. I know the pain of watching your fur baby age and wondering how life will unfold once they go back home. It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. You have the support of so many people around the world who hold you both in their hearts with everything you're going through. 🙌 Blessings to you, beautiful soul. ❤
Whenever I'm having rough moments in my day I lean towards watching your content because it is so calming and fulfilling!! Such bad beautiful intro, I could almost smell the crisp air.
I absolutely know what you mean with feeling blank and having an unknown life/future. I am in this state since many months, already a year and it's so exhausting... I hope, it will get better soon, but you're not alone. And it's also good to know for me and others that we are not alone. Big hug and much love from Germany! 🤎
In a world where everybody seem to be focused on being productive, successful and showing only their best version, I am relieved for your honesty and humanity.
Dear Jonna, you have the most warm, beautiful soul. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing hardships. Praying you through the hard days and sending you light from America.
My life is pretty hard day-to-day (pain, disability, isolation, poverty) and Jonna's videos remind me how to see the beauty in the world. But it's also comforting to know that she goes through hard times too and doesn't let it darken her soul. The cycle will return to the happier times, Jonna. You shared joy and beauty with us and now we'll hold it for you for a time.❤
Thank you for sharing these thought and your reality. I feel very much the same. Trying to keep my soul alive is a struggle, nice to know others may be crying too. So hard to see the light thru so much darkness! Memories sustain for only so long and this pain feels like forever. Peace and grace to you! Thanks
Sending you so much love Jonna. You are such a precious diamond for mankind. Thank you for your heartwarming words. There is so much wisdom and trust in life. So many of us have the feeling of closing the old life, while standing in front of the doors to new but yet unknown times. Yes, we have to go step by step and with every step we will see more clearly. My mantra: How good can it be?! What miracles will I experience today? Best wishes from my heart to you. You give so much ❤ Never forget to allow receiving.
Dear Jonna, It's been almost 2 years since I started learning swedish and your channel has always inspired me to keep learning, even if I'm passing through hard times here and there, we all have our struggles. But know that you inspire many worldwide, you're a legend, you're so admired. Be well. Ta det lugnt
Thank you for being so genuine and sharing your heart with all of us. You are so loved...happy to hear you're resting more, and still pushing yourself a little bit to create, or like you did in this video, simply enjoying creation. We are with you. Wherever the road turns...you're never alone. Bless you Jonna!
Every living thing has a beginning and an end. It is part of the grand scheme of things. It is hard and beautiful at the same time. All we can hope is that, as we slow down, we have those around us that love us and we do the best we can to still enjoy the little things. Nanook is VERY loved and lives a wonderful dog life filled with nature!
clicking this video at the hardest time of my life, can relate. We feel the same, which is a great relief to me. Thank you Jonna for sharing this to us.
My love to you and your precious canine. Mine turns 16 in a few weeks and it’s hard on us guardians of our pets. She is now deaf and like yours, lives for food 🙂. Enjoy every second with them. Take care of yourself and when you are ready to talk with someone, you will. Sending bright light💞
It is so hard to see our pet getting older, I'm so relieved that your sweet Nanook is well, and you and your family too 🙏. We lost our beloved dog, Joyce, on last february, we were not prepared and we didn't see it coming. She was 10. We are still not able go back where we used to take a walk with her. Autumn was her favorite season, she loved the forest so much and she used to sit at the top of the garden or on the beach next to the river, and she could just sit there for hours and appreciate all the life in the nature around her. It was such a joy for us to look at her and just stay with her... My dear Jonna, I don't know what is going on in your life right now, but I just wanted to tell you that we love you no matter what. Take really good care of you ♥ I send you a lot of love ♥
We ALL go thru very low points in life ! I am in my twilight years & i have learned that for people who are deeply connected to the earth - like i am & i sense you are too - absolutely NEED to get outside during low times. I take short walks, make a point to watch sunrises & sunsets, actually watch the seasons change, & so on... If i stay inside - i only focus on my problems or things not right in my life. When i go out - i close my eyes, take a deep breath & lift my head to the sky & as you let your breath go - do that with the thought of 'releasing ' your problems out into the world ! When you open your eyes & lower your head - it must be with the intention of SEEING the world all around you & then let your feet take you wherever!! I will continue to send you HOPE & LOVE & to all ! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
You inspired me, helped me find myself when i was so lost in life. Of course your videos, how you capture nature, your creativity are beyond words but what helped me most is letting us in your journey with every side bad or good, ups and downs with the purest most beautiful human way possible. Even if you don’t post anything for a while or ever, no matter what, I feel so blessed to get to know you and your journey. I don’t think I’ll ever forget you and how you helped me grow as a person just by being you. My heart&soul are always with you and your family 💙 (Biggest hug ever)
I sat for a long time after watching this video... I'm not sure if I can, or should try, to express my own experience here. However, like so many others have said; know that you are not alone. Autumn can be a time of great solace and beauty, the bright yellow and orange and red leaves sharing their warm reflected light. But as the old saying goes; if your heart is cold, our fire cannot warm you. The... not knowing, is the hardest part. It steals our sleep, our dreams. It is a dark forest path that we must walk carefully along...sometime alone. And that's ok. That's as it should be. But the forest is our home. And it will care for you as you are as much of it as it is of you. You are exactly where you need to be, even though it doesn't feel like it. Breath... and know that you are receiving kind and dear thoughts from many who have found solace and joy and hope and serenity in the parts of your life you have been kind enough to share. Now, I need get back to walking down my own forest path...
Jonna, the last video you made on the island was beautiful! You’re to hard on yourself. Yes, we love the cinematic videos you post, but your “simple” videos are just as wonderful. I’m sorry you’re struggling. I wish there was something we could do to help. Just know we’re here for you. Sending you love and light. Kramar ❤
A little over a month ago I had to say goodbye to my almost 15 year old dog Miki. He was my friend and savior and the pain is still so fresh. It was so hard to see him decline as his heart started to give up. I tried my best to give him relief with medications and love but it could only go so far. I know Miki knew how loved he was and I know Nanook knows how loved he is ❤ It hurts to see your friend become older and frail.
So very sorry for your loss of Miki. Our fur friends are truly our family and often our saviours as yours was for you. I lost my cat 24 years ago and wasn’t given the opportunity to say good bye to her which to this day upsets me. The thing I’ve seen and have heard spoken of dogs is that they will go the lengths of the earth to please their masters, despite their own pain so something for dog owners to be aware of in those final months and weeks of declining life. Maybe Nanak will drag himself along to be with and make Jonna happy, to protect her and not leave her side. So something to be aware of in these harder times. This was such an honest and beautiful video from Jonna..I hope she doesn’t mind me saying this about dogs, just an awareness, and thinking of her beautiful Nanak. Love & Light to us all❤
I've been going through a really rough patch the last year or so, too (divorce, moved to back to my home country after 20 years abroad, unemployed until just recently), so I feel you. Change is always so hard, especially when it is change that we hadn't anticipated. Holding you up in my heart, and wishing you little glimmers of light in the fog of it all. Take however much time you need. We'll all still be here.
Nanook is a treasure that will always be with you...he always is filled with such joy. We all slow down when we get a little older, fourteen years is incredible. Every thing changes we have to understand the impermanence of all we experience. Behind the clouds the sun is always there. Hugs to both you and Nanook
You bring so much inner beauty to everyone online! Thank you for sharing your truth - it is courageous! I admire that you are able to reach out in your difficult time - it is something that I could not see myself being able to do. I'm sure that you will have an outpouring of positive support from everyone from the online community! Sending you positive thoughts, and wishes that you will find what you are seeking, and will feel calm and comforted! You are a beautiful soul!
I have been feeling really depressed for the last week, very difficult. I feel I have lost my passion for my profession, my skills, my growth, my future, and, and, and. Listening to you, knowing I am not alone, gives me just a little strength, so thank you. Not that I wish that on you, but you made a bit of a difference to me.
I know this also very much, many people go through this at the moment what I hear and read, "the dark night of the soul "......it is a very intense time right now , in energy. For the better of us all here on earth.
Beautiful video which had me in tears. I resonate totally how much you miss having Nanook on your adventures, having lost my dog 1.5 years ago , watching them slow is incredibly hard but he is happy and knows how loved he is and that is worth everything , please dont feel bad about taking him into the forest for his birthday game , he was really enjoying it and he wont be feeling bad that you did that for him. Dogs understand totally the meaning of the word unconditional , enjoy every moment with him , he is truly a living legend xx
Dear Jonna, thank you for sharing your feelings that most of us know as well. Sometimes life gets tough... But in moments like these I repeat "It will pass" - that is my experience... it always does in some way. In moments like these I like to watch your videos... they usually cheer me up or calm me down. And like you said... concentrating and being grateful for all the little beautiful things around us is really helpful! Get better soon, don't give up!
He’s a beautiful animal with a beautiful heart. Watching this vid helps me understand huge changes in life. I live and help take care of my mom. It’s so hard. What’s happening to Nanook, mirrors my mom’s struggles. It’s as though one is watching A slow motion train wreck. I know I’m gonna lose her soon. I hope Nanook, like my mom, can stay strong as long as they can. I hope the same for you too
I love the fact that you are always so open about how you are feeling because everyone goes through struggles in life. It's part of being human and luckily a lot of times it pushes us towards personal growth. You are so refreshingly genuine and such a beautiful person. Although your cinematography is amazing, I also love watching videos where you just talk to us and fill us in on what you have been up to or how you are feeling. Sending you and Nanook lots of positive energy and love!
I’m thinking planetarily and energy of the world is affecting us empathic folks. I’ve been down and weepy and heavy feeling the past week or so. I know it’s time to let the tears flow and keep that energy moving. I have just started , today, sitting at the table and picking up art supplies. The seasons bring change. ❤
I used to have 2 big shaggy dogs, Border Collie breeds. They were both female and both lived until 18 years old. I used to do everything with my dogs outside of work. We lived in Western Australia and would swim at the beach and beach walks and bush hikes. There are beaches where dogs can be. After they both died, at different times, I was SOOOOO lost. I still go to dog beaches, and go to our favourite places. I miss them so much. When they got older, it was difficult to see them unable to physically do what used to be such joyful activities. I feel you. Much love 🙇♀️💗
You have worked hard and shared so much love with the community you have built here. Well done. Take the care of yourself that you need to. People here really care for you. Smart to realize that life is a struggle at times. Also smart that you are gently pushing yourself to show up to do kind things for yourself. Pick those berries! That is one of my favorite things to do in the summer as well.
We appreciate your genuine honesty about the struggles in life. And, you’re right, all us humans go thru this…many times. One of the best ways to get through it is to keep thinking about what is working well in your life. Even the simplest thing, saying I am young! You wouldn’t believe how many people are dealing with the pain of the human body aging. To be young is such a gift. Yes, we know, problems and concerns are huge. We have had to dig deep and find the gifts in the life we have. There’s really no alternative…love your life, including the hard times, because this experience, in our bodies on planet Earth right now, is So sacred and precious. We send our love and support Jonna ❤
I feel for you. I've been in a similar state for a year now. It's like I'm standing at a train station waiting for the right train to come. Some mystics call it the dark night of the soul. When the old aspects of yourself die, you enter a certain void. And then, little by little, all the new and true parts come in so that you can live your new true self. I have learned to trust and surrender to this process. Hey, and I'm not ready for fall and winter yet either! I don't want summer to end soon.
I know this video is a little older, but I can relate so much. I'm going through a lot myself and my creativity has diminished so much over the past few weeks. But like you said, sometimes you need to just push through. Every video I've ever watched that you made has made me cry, they are so heart felt and we share the same passion for nature which makes me really emotional. I think one of the things that really bothers me in life is how much the land is changing where I live. We live similar lives, but you're a little more isolated. There is a fair amount of development going on and my home is gradually loosing it's connection to nature, which really makes me feel disconnected from who I am.
Yes trust the process. Everything will unfold as it's meant to. Take the time to heal your mind, body, and spirit. Don't push too hard cuz sometimes the body will rebel, especially if it's calling for solitude and quiet. Just BE Jonna and you will be ok. Sending much lovingkindness 💜
Nature knows you are hurting Jonna, that is why she put on an amazing display for you. You are a woman of the woods and it welcomes you. Take your time feeling better. Your viewers will wait, and send positive thoughts your way. You truly are beautiful, inside and out. So gentle and pleasant, a joy to listen to and watch. Prayers to both you an Nanook from PA USA
Joanna you are so authentic and your transparency crosses many hearts and so many life’s are touched by your openness to share…the good, the bad, and the ugly. As so many people have shared already, we are here for you, and the content of your video are at times so beautiful but it is you, we are seeking. Stay strong, prepare your body with extra light this coming darkness, SAD syndromes is real. Some light kits out there are truly life changing. Take good V’ts D&K2 blend. You owe us nothing, but to be true to yourself first. With so much love xx i have as well felt this summer the fastest and most challenging of all…it’s the summer of inner quests and inner search…
You are his world, as much as you believe its food its you. Seeing our pets grow old & frail is heartbreaking and we feel so much sorrow for them getting slow because we remember them as the bouncy, lively pup they once were and its painful to no longer see that. Whatever your struggling with I wish you the best and sending some comforting hugs.
Hugs, Jonna! I feel honored to get to share a little in your life and to witness your honesty and courage as you choose to share the difficult alongside the beautiful. Love to you!
Many people here are not for the cinematic videos ( although they are so beautiful), we are here for you. To be a part of your journey and make you a part of ours. I too am in an uncertain time in my life and just your presence through this video brings me joy. Know that you are so loved not for what you offer but for who you are. Sending you much love Jonna🫶
Thank you with all my heart ❤😭 Sending you tons of love!
Jonna - sending love. 💜
I couldn't have expressed it better, that's exactly how it is and that's how I feel. I just love seeing and listening to Jonna, no matter where she is! Her pure presence is great !🩷✨
I hope, dear @jonnajinton , that you get through this difficult phase well! Lots of strength and love! ❤️ Things will soon be looking up again 🍀🫶🏼
@@jonnajinton Love and thoughts from Australia Jonna. 🙏🐕Millions are struggling globally. Stock up BIGTIME with Food. Its back to living off the land and trading with likeminded folks. Love and light. 💕🐕🙏 Pete NSW Au.
Exactly! We love you Jonna! You have been there for me everytime I was struggling. Know we're here for you.
Jonna you don't have idea how much you impacted me through the way you show up in this world. So much softness and depth. I know watching someone from a video doesn't encapsulate their entire being and their life. I'm just beyond grateful I get to live in this time where I have access to see people like you and be deeply inspired. Thank you
Aww, Jonna, yes many of us are struggling and cannot fully reveal the issues that are taking place in real time.
I just want to say, that even though we have never met, I say prayers and you are included in them because you are a treasure to all of us and I send my love to you and Nanook❤❤❤
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! ❤😭🙏🏻
Do u think is break up?
What a beautiful thing to say to her and I completely agree. 🩷
It sounds like you’re learning more sustainable ways to nourish your heart without the gaze of the world being part of that. Don’t worry about when and how often you post unless you want to worry about it… your authenticity and being who you are is all you need!❤❤❤big hug and kiss to you and Nanook 💖🌅☁️🍂🧡😘
Nothing is more beautiful than the truth about the imperfection of this dance called life because when we really look, we see all that the dark has taught us about the light. 😊
❤🙏🏻
wow that was beautifully said..shivers!
@@DewdropsAndBlueberries Detsamma** haha >>>> Watch This Space!!! WISDOM is key Byeee Toe Xx
Absolutely, Changes are hard. You said it perfectly. Life is a dance❤
Gentle hugs to you, Hugh. Thank you for your inspiring comment.
Joanna I hear you say Nanucks world is shrinking but YOU are his world. I truly believe that for our beloved dogs it is being with us that brings them the joy, whatever the location. My heart is already breaking for you knowing my own heart has endured the pain of losing them. ❤
Yes.. ❤
THIS video is exactly why I follow you. Your vulnerability to share the tough times is authentic and I believe everyone who watches you can relate to the ups and downs, especially in today's inverted world. Hang in there and continue to be inspired by Nature's Beauty and the quantum field of Love then turn around and share it with us. The world needs more of what you give. We love you, Jonna.
❤❤❤!!!

Sorry for the difficult time you are going through Jonna and thank you for sharing. It's so refreshing to see NORMAL in a "Perfect World" where everyone is being "Superficial" on their social media - using filters and faking exct.
Sending love and hugs, hope you will experience positive personal growth through this difficult period in your life ❤ we can Only truly appreciate our MOUNTAIN TOP moments, after walking through our VALLEYS days🫶 ❤
Well said…me too.
Thank you for this video. I hope that even you have hard times now. Give yourself time and pick a beautiful berry after berry yourself back. Healing takes time! Lots of love for you and Nanook. 💚✨ 15:22
As much as nanook was exhausted after, I bet he doesn’t regret it the fun of meatballs in the woods. It’s those times of joy that make the rest of the time worth while. I have an older dog and she’s slowing down, she has muscle aches after a trip to the beach, but I, my wife and our dog dog all get so much joy from those times and as long as she has time to rest, it’s ok.
I was going to say this too. I am certain it made his day ❤
it was probably the best day he had and thought to his self, yay i get to find meatballs ❤ perfect day for him
I remember when we play with my elderly dog (she was very much like Nanook), she just couldn't stop. Even when we told her it was time to rest, she would just continue to play with rocks, sticks and cats.
I bet Nanook love his fun too, it's good for him and he will have no regrets ❤
Yes, in the video clips, he looks SO happy to find and munch every meatball!
I came here to say the same thing and to offer a recommendation… our senior dog also loves walks but she couldn’t keep up and was limping. I started giving her a chewable tablet from the vet for joint health that contains glucosamine HCL, chondroitin sulphate and MSM. After 3 days of this supplement, she was showing dramatic improvements. She was running again, no limp and much more active. I know she’s old, this won’t extend her life but it gave her back her vitality. Maybe Nanook would benefit from a similar supplement?
I don’t think it quite matters to us what exactly your videos are about. I feel like the majority of us are here for you, and the love and good feelings that you bring us. I know personally, every time I watch one of your videos I leave it feeling lighter, happier, and more hopeful about my life. Eternally thankful that I found you.❤️
❤😭🙏🏻
@@jonnajinton 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

Exactly that ❤
Well Said!!! i guesswe all appreciate the Lady Very Much after myself following for Years Now Tc x
Hi Jonna, I’m from the united states, I’m a widow and quite alone ! But not lonely ! You are such a beautiful person, inside and out ! And you bring happiness to so many people ! Just want to say thank you , and we love you ! 🌹
Do you not realise that we show up here to spend time with YOU and not the ‘content’? As wonderful as your content is, It doesn’t matter whether you post a cinematic sensation or just a sit down chat! You ARE your content and regardless of what it is, it never fails to bring authenticity, warmth and love to out hearts. You show up whenever you want, with whatever you want because true friendship is unconditional. Much love to you and Nanook ❤
❤😭🙏🏻
I definitely check out for a new video to see how ARE YOU! Not how many beautiful shots your drone have made. Although I love it, but I love YOU more!
From an old grandma, from Colombia, South America, I promise to pray the Lord brings you HIS JOY.
Praying He gives you PEACE and you can endure in his Migthy Hands whatever is causing what you go through right now.
"From my heart" ... Jonna is always giving from her heart. That's why we're here. We appreciate that it's not just the sweeping, curated, wonderfully edited videos but also some real life and struggles. We're with you and we're for you. So many hopes for you. Still hopeful for sweet Nanook (my little dog is 15 and a half now... the slowing down is difficult to watch). Anyway, take care in the changes. We're cheering for you. We appreciate your thankfulness for us... but we're so thankful for you. You give us so much peace and beauty.
Thank you with all my heart ❤ You have no idea how much your words means 😭🙏🏻❤️ Sending you lots of love!!
Jonna, I am an old man, and I absolutely love your songs. My great grandmother emigrated to the US from Sweden in 1867 at the age of 12 as an indentured servant. my great grandfather emigrated a few years later. Grandma became a midwife, grandpa became a teamster. Your songs bring out a great deal of emotions in my mind. Thank you
Lord, have mercy.🙏🙏💕💕💕
@@n7kme Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Jonna, I remember one of your vlogs with "be like a bison" phrase... it was a rough time in my life then, heartbroken, lost hopes, isolated, and I wrote that phrase and hang it on my wall, it was like a chant in my heart whenever I doubted myself, "be like a bison" I'm passing it back to you with gratitude :*
I bought the Be Like A Bison necklace for my son. To give him strength for himself and his lovely wife after the most heartbreaking loss a young couple should go through. Like you Maria I wish to send that same strength back. Jonna Jinton be like a Bison ♥️
From Spain I am sending you a big hug and very best wishes for whatever it is that the future brings you. I have enjoy3d every single one of your videos ever since I found you on UA-cam. Please come back soon. Much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I bought the necklace with this inscription for my son who has muscular dystrophy. He lost most of his muscle strength and is very limited in his movement . He wears the necklace every day and he is a force to be reckoned with. He writes poetry and novels, he embraces life to the fullest even though he can’t stretch out his arms to do it. Your beautiful energy is infused in all that you create, it makes us all try harder and enjoy every moment. Thank you 🙏 now you can count on us!! We are holding the space for you to find your way to more joy and peace. Take the time you need, we will wait until you are ready to takes us again on your magic carpet! Love you 🥰
I remember that one too. It was over 3 years ago. My mom died that night and this was the first video I saw. Me and my mom used to love watching Jonna's videos. It was what I needed to hear. But it is hard to be a buffalo.
I missed that. Could you please explain what it means?
Dear Jonna, I strongly believe that the majority of us who watch your videos are not expecting anything from you. You are one of the greatest story tellers we have had the blessing to watch on UA-cam, and the story you are sharing with the world is YOUR STORY, Jonna Jinnton’s Story. So please, don’t you ever feel like you owe us anything, because you don’t. You have all the right to do whatever you want with your videos and story. It is YOUR LIFE. The people who really watch your videos LOVES YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. In good and bad times. The fact that you care a lot what your followers think about you, speaks very highly of you, how big and wonderful heart you have and how much you care about other people. On behalf of your followers, we are so sorry you are feeling this way about your feelings, Nanook and personal life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in these difficult times. You are not alone. We hope that all those feelings and things you are going through will make sense in the future and that you will use them to grow and evolve into an even greater you, a more wise, strong, caring and more creative Jonna Jinton. Never forget to be kind to yourself and your feelings, just like you are kind with the world. Lastly, be patient with yourself and the process. Everything happens for a greater reason and God’s time is always perfect. With love, your UA-cam family and friends. 🫂🫶🏼🙏🏼🕊️
💯 Could never have been said any better! 💖🙏💖
Thanks for your perfect words and yes! Your words are mine too and I am also sure of many others! Way to go Jonna, hang in there, you are not alone!!!
💚💛💙 lovely
Perfectly said, thank you 🙏🏻 and for many of us, you see, it is needed sometimes. There is time to shine ✨ and time to be loved, and that’s what you are ❤ by thousands 🥰💝
Nanook is such a happy boy, and I am sure he still fully enjoyed his meatballs in the woods (such a cute idea!) even if it tired him out. This might sound weird, but my father is about to turn 96 and while his mind is still sharp, his body can no longer keep up, and due to various conditions, his world constantly narrows more and more, and it breaks my heart. Food is also his highlight, though his ability to taste is almost completely gone now. He is still happy. He does his own laundry, makes his own breakfast and lunch, plays cards with some friends, reads books, watches TV, does puzzles, works on projects. Always a smile on his face, in spite of everything. It is hard knowing he will never be able to come to my home again to eat a meal or see my Christmas tree. It is sad knowing I can't bring him to a restaurant or out for a drive to see the foliage or a view with mountains. Yet he is content with the little things in life and teaches me the value in the daily things rather than the big events we mark as milestones. So, I see my father in Nanook and they seem to be at the exact same stage, getting through each task, each day, each nap, each meal, with joy in their hearts and peace in their souls. I hope you find peace, too, during hard times. xxx
Why can’t you take your father for rides to see things and to eat?
Bring tear to my eyes. 😢 I just lost a beloved cat. that was with me since childhood and he was my childhood and now left me to grow up, but I feel his spirit and I know it. This is way death of others and self isn't the worse for me. I know it is not the end and that the soul stays with us. But your story remind me for that my father is getting old and how many times have I dreamed he would one day pass on and I cant think of how many tears I would cry... he is just 75 but this is a lot. 😢😢😢
@@ofirshorshy8281Доброе утро! Рядом всегда наши любимые животные.Разговаривала с котенком и благодарила своего ушедшего котика, что он так быстро прислал мне защитницу Алиску.

@@ofirshorshy8281 I'm sending you a BIG HUG!
What a beautiful share, wishing days filled with joy for your father.
Please take your time, Jonna. This video brought tears to my eyes, because you are so vulnerable and that is so beautiful. The energy you have always given throughout the years is incredible. It's pure love, your whole being!
One of the biggest reasons I've been watching you for so long, is the balance of peace and calm you bring and the perfect cinematography, with the reality of life and it's struggles. You inspire me to be creative, you've taught me to see beauty in even the smallest of things and you keep reminding me of how beautiful life and nature is. But you also show that it isn't always so perfect and peaceful. You and your videos have really helped me get through tough times. You always speak from your heart with such deep love and care. You are a truly beautiful person, Jonna.
You don't need to worry about your videos being shorter or different from normal. We understand, and we want you to be well. It is okay to take the time you need. None of us want you to take on any more stress than you already have. We keep coming back to you for who you are as a person, not only for what you post. I really appreciate how you show both sides of life. It makes me feel like I'm hanging out with a friend, rather than a random person on screen. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm sure most of us would agree.
Thank you for sharing all the beauty as well as the uncomfortable things. And for always speaking from your heart. Take care of yourself, Jonna. We are here for you
I agree with every word here! I feel exactly the same way.
I agree 100%
Yes! A big fat DITTO!!!🌻🌼🌻

Nanook is so well loved Jonna. When he does pass away, hopefully not for a long time, Nanook will tell all his friends over the rainbow bridge that he got to live so many wonderful years with an ageless elf that always loved him and fed him meatballs. When my Thor passed, It hurt so badly, but I could almost feel his spirit gently comforting me and almost telling me he would always be with me. Much love to you Jonna, Johan, and Nanook.
"Ageless elf." Thank you for putting this into words. 😊
Thank you, for your honesty and spirit..my animals are my family and other things as well it's okay feel sad..yeah I get it..❤
So beautifully said. Jonna, I feel the same ATM, just totally flat, and I can't find my smile. However, when I put your videos on, it helps so much. Please take care, my friend, and know you are loved and needed. I'm sending all my love to you and Nanook. ❤ Ally
Your videos are extraordinary not because they're cinematic masterpieces, or works of art, though they often are. They stand out because of you. And because you are human, all the facets are not the same, but it still glitters. I appreciate your honesty and I respect your need for space. I often do. And life is hard, just know your viewers understand
I have watched many videos that a similar to this (cinematographically wise) but not one of them come close to Jonna’s.. which is very simply, because they are not Jonna.
So much love from the other side of the world Jonna.. the very south of Tasmania ❤
I think the main theme of this channel is to really experience the seasons, to really feel them. Because of that, Jonna has suck a good perception of the time passing by. The scene of she helping Nanook to get out of the van and then patiently walking with this now old dog was so beautiful. She really treasures each moment with him and comprehends that time is passing by. This was a beautiful video.
It's so hard watching a beloved pet grow old and frail. My older cat, Milo, just recently turned 16 and despite having kidney disease he's in pretty good shape. But it is difficult knowing that time is becoming limited with him, just like you feel with your dog. It's almost like mourning before they eventually pass away. It's the price we pay for loving them as much as we do. Sending you and Nanuk gentle hugs from Wisconsin.
My beautiful best friend senior dog Gypsy passed away 2weeks ago.She was 18 years old.She had slowed down in the last 4 years of her life and it had become too hard to take her to the beach and do all the things we loved and used to do before.But like Jonna said Nanook is,she was still happy just walking around the yard,barking at other dogs & people walking past the gate.Enjoying the sun.She also loved her food very much.She still looked good even at 18,with thick healthy coat etc then 2 weeks ago she didnt want to eat anymore.Her appetite had started to lessen a week b4 this.Then in 4 days she declined rapidly and could no longer walk.I had already started to mourn her weeks before she passed as i just knew her time was coming.Ive cried a river of tears and missing her soo much.Its been so hard.Lost a good friend just 3 months ago as well.Was very sudden ,unexpected and a huge shock.Still feel in disbelief and so much grief.So much changing in my life as well.Feel very much lost,down and unmotivated so can empathise with the way you are feeling dear Jonna.Sending you so much love🩷💖🌸 take good care of yourself Xxx
Yep, I have two doggies who are 11 and almost 12, and one 17 year old kitty.
I totally believe we can mourn before the actual passing away of a pet or a family member. It is very hard to watch the decline.
@@monika2231 Think of the beautiful blessing that your dog chose you to be her human mother, to share her love with you, and live her physical life here on Earth with you. What a privilege. You have loved her well, and still do. She most definitely carried that love with her when she travelled over the Rainbow Bridge....and feels that love even now.
@@karlenemacdonald6549Thank you soo much Karlene for your kind words.
I don’t know why I didn’t see your message till now.
It’s been a little over 6 weeks now since Gypsy crossed the rainbow bridge , as you so beautifully described it.
Its still sooo very hard.I still shed tears several times a day everyday.It still hurts so much , but I have felt her presence around.
Sometimes I can hear her breathing the way she used to breathe when she slept near me.
She also used to tap with her nails on the back glass sliding door to let her in when she would want to come inside, and I heard that tapping the other day.I went to the back door but there was no-one or nothing there.
Im not sure if she knows that she has transited to the next dimension yet.
This other thing that happened was also so strange; about a week ago we had some fairly heavy rain and i was in the lounge room and i heard so distinctly in the kitchen/dining area the exact sound she used to make when she would shake her coat off when she was wet after she would come in from the rain.I was the only person in the house and I was just sitting on the lounge in silence,there were no other noises around , so the sound I heard was very clear ,distinct and very real.This isn’t the first time that I’ve had such experiences.I guess it just reinforces what I already know,that the spirit lives on forever🌈🦋🌸
Remember Jonna, be like the buffalo! Cows run away from the storm while the buffalo charges toward it and gets through it quicker. Don't prolong the torment. Become the buffalo!
I'm sending you all the love and light I can. You are an amazing soul and you deserve healing quickly.... go be the buffalo!
This is so beautiful, I just wrote that down in my journal so thank you. xo
@@jennyt6159 It's from an old video. :)
@@Aethuviel Didn't she say "Be like a bison.“?
@@miriam7630 Well, buffalo is a popular American term for bison. I guess Icarota isn't talking about Asian water buffalo.
It’s an old Indian American saying/ legend. They strongly connect with buffaloes - sacred, totemic animals and symbols- not only as life giving and life saving animal. As power, power will, as mother
You may feel shitty some days, but you are never ever ugly. Your heart shines through whatever you have going on. God Bless Jonna
Aw, Jonna, we come to see *you*, really - you are like a beloved cousin to 5 million people ... we all wish we could sit next to you, give you a hug, watch the sunset and maybe share a cup of coffee. But no demands. Sometimes you need to just "be". Please, feel no pressure, but just feel all your cousins supporting you.
Thank you for sharing Jonna. Take your time and honour your feelings and needs. We will be here no matter what you decide. The first most important thing is for you to be well.
Thank you ❤
Watching these shorter, less cinematic videos feels like listening to a kind friend you've known for a long time.
I listen, I nod along, I empathize and think kind thoughts in your direction and say kind words "to you".
I know that sounds silly and a bit mad but I've been watching your videos for years and feel a level of comfort with your videos.
I am sorry you're struggling- it's human to struggle and in those moments we are the most human.
Thank you for sharing- I am honored to hold space for you♡
Please take care.😊
Thanks for being so open and vulnerable with us, Jonna. I think it helps many of us feel less alone in our struggles when we know people we admire go through similar difficulties. I have felt creatively empty for such a long time, but your video makes me want to try again. 💛
Do it😘
❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed 💕
Is it a break up? 💭
@@Dorr234 I thought the same
It's hard to see Nanook getting old. When i started to watch and following you he was such a full of life walking, running... it opens a wound with my last dog watching him slowly being closer to passing away. Hopefully you can enjoy and spend all the time with him now every minute giving him hugs and kisses.
Be strong sweet Jonna. Take your time. Be with Nanook for now.
Sending him love. 💛🕯
I remember those days too 😊Aging can be very beautiful. All the memories across their stages of development. It can also be very difficult for loved ones to experience. Gotta hold onto the joy they bring us ☺
Dear Jonna, you have the right to be sad, to be tired, to not feel like it, I think your body is talking to you and needs to slow down. you have done so much in recent months, you have given so much energy!! Sometimes you have to come back to yourself, to your darker side to find even more light and you are a real sun☀️ you radiate so much that you need to recharge. Be gentle with yourself Courage Jonna, we love you very much! Tender hugs to you and Nanook❤❤
You worded this perfectly! ❤
Dear lovely Jonna, sometimes, when we give so much, in love and life, and create as much as you've worked upon, this summer, with enthusiasm, our energy-system needs to call us back, saying "Slow down, only this much my nervous system can handle, you need to take time out, and reflect on your achievements and expectations".
So, I suggest don't put to much on your plate right now, take naps, and sit with yourself in good companionship, welcoming how you feel with love for yourself, inviting your angels to keep an eye on you, supporting you.
Know that you are loved. 💗🤗
@@hellykay Thank you so much, I hope these few words can comfort her. there are so many beautiful people here🙏😊
Best comment❤
I can’t imagine what’s happening in her life I really hope it has nothing to do with her and Johans relationship??
Dearest Jonna, yes I can relate. It sounds that you're doing a lot of things right. Take your time, go out in nature, don't let the wall grow too high. We all have those times, struggling. I send you and Nanook tons of LOVE! And I am grateful about you and your beautiful work! ❤
Thank you sooo much ❤
I love ALL your videos Jonna. All the ups and downs. All the light and dark. All the truth and beauty that you bring to the world, by just showing up as YOU. Whatever you share, we are all grateful. x
Everything online is so curated and so many people show only the highlights - it’s a bit toxic. You’re a breath of fresh air. I guess sometimes all we need is to see someone being human just like the rest of us, to remind us we’re not alone in our struggles. I hope you find your joy and creative spark again soon. Sending lots of love to Nanook. You’re two beautiful souls!
“I’m alive, I’m just struggling” hits so close to home right now. ❤ sending good vibes from one struggle bus to another.
My grandmother always would say, "this too shall pass" and it will. Immerse yourself in nature and feel the energy around you. Take your time and sometimes, through the tough stuff, your creativity will become greater. Hang in there and I'm sending you a hug❤
I so appreciate the time you spend with your dog. I have two sled dogs and one is almost 13 and I am sending you and your dog love energy. It's very wonderful to see you all 🙏
Your relationship with Nanook is so much like my soul dog, Moose. He was with me out in the forest & nature everyday, and went through all my life milestones - single life, marriage, and the birth of my daughter. A piece of me died with him, and I pray that I will be able to see him again when it comes my time. There is nothing like the love and companionship of a special dog.
Don't be upset with yourself indulging Nanook with all his special celebrations. Yes, he may be sore the next day, but it was all worth it for him - trust me. Make him comfortable, spoil him, get in all those cuddles and special memories. Live each day to it's fullest abundance. Be gentle with yourself as well, Jonna. People who are deep feelers can be so hard on ourselves. Enjoy and embrace your time alone, and be ok with giving yourself grace. Sending hugs!
You’re never obligated to share something you’re not comfortable sharing. Wishing you the best
One thing that isn't talked about a lot is the dread of having to say goodbye to your furry loved ones. It's knowledge we all take on when we bring them into our hearts, but it's never something that you can really prepare for. When my beloved cat, Chloe, neared the end of her life, I knew it was coming. I feel like I mourned her before she was even gone, and some days, I would just cry at the thought of losing her. And when she did pass, it was so painful, I literally couldn't keep food down for over a day. A part of my heart will always belong to her, and we took in two new kittens and some of my heart is with them. The love will always be there, and it's limitless.
Oh I feel every word you have written in this comment. Xx
@@dianneD27 💕💕💕
Love is limitless 🥲🥹🙏
I had the same feeling with my male cat, Bran. He was a giant black cat with yellow eyes, always figthing with other cats, coming back with injuries.. I spent so much time with him when he was a kitten, I still remember each and every moment.. after him disappearing I just said I will never have an other cat. No cat would be like him.
There is one consolation when your pet dies. t is that you have given him/her a wonderful and joyous life. Let that bring you peace when Nanook's time comes.
Jonna- it’s in the unknown that magic happens.. it can be scary but it means something beautiful is on the horizon. Often things that aren’t meant for us fall apart and this is incredibly painful, but it’s just making room for the beauty that is. I hope in a year you can look back and feel deeply grateful for these tough moments. Sending you so much love!
@@JessicaChristopherson-y9c Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
We love you Jonna. Take as long as you need and you don't need to tell us anything you're not comfortable telling us. Change is hard. You share so much of yourself with the world. You are allowed to keep some of yourself just for you.
Doing something that brings you joy every day is a great idea.
Much love to you, Johan, and Nanuk. ❤
Dear Jonna,
I am absolutely overwhelmed by the love in this comment section. What an honour to be part of this online-family that you have created!
I discovered your channel a few years ago, when I was struggling a lot with life. Nothing felt safe, every believe and every vision that I had about my life seemed to be shattered.
Your beautiful energy, your honest vulerability, the peace and the healing powers of nature, that you somehow manage to capture in your art, were so therapeutic and they helped a lot finding my own path in life again.
We, as a community, don‘t expect anything from you. Just take your time, heal, create melancholic content if you want to or happy content or none at all, either is fine. We will be waiting for you as long as you need and hopefully we can give back at least a part of the love that you have given to us in the last years.
I‘d like to share a famous quote by Leonard Cohen that helps me a lot whenever I feel broken and uncertain.
„Ring the bells that still can ring,
forget your perfect offering, there‘s a crack in everything,
That‘s how the light gets in“
Also, a wise woman once told me to „be like the bison“ ;)
Lots of love for you and Nanook ❤️
Nanook is a wonderful dog! We are just blessed to have our fur babies for a short period of time in our lives. I don’t think a house is a home without a cat or dog. Hang in there for him especially when he passes because they want to see our faces when they pass and we’re there for us. Praying for you for more strength and getting through this.
Thank you for linking up with the Willow Hand Channel -- for me, at age 79, pushing 80, this mix somehow brings me some feeling of connection with my long-gone parents and their friends who were great appreciators of the beauty contained on this Planet Earth. Personally and planetarily, I believe we'll see bigger forces toward rescue than toward destruction, but not every day. (Hope my finances will stabilize soon, so I can pay in to your group here! Thanks for being a voice that helps!)
Never underestimate the value in authenticity and normalcy. Those are our greatest stabilizers in this life. It’s a blessing to find others, our kindred others, that help us walk when we’re wobbly. We each do that, and isn’t it wonderful this community you founded! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please hug Nanook for me. ❤
Jonna, I've been watching you from the beginning. Your creativity and your perspective has literally changed my life. I found you right after I moved to rural Northern Utah from France and your videos made me so incredibly grateful to be creating my life in the mountains. I had lived a fast-paced life in a French city before and the shift to a small mountain town was a hard adjustment at first. Your channel was my saving grace, as it taught me to really learn to appreciate the exquisite nature around me, a slower pace of living, and the changing seasons. I'm sorry to hear you are going through this hard time. Please just know you have such a positive impact on so many people around the world. You, just as you are, are such a blessing to all of us. You've got a whole community of people behind you. Please remember that when these difficult times arise. Sending you so much love.
I think a lot of people having this feeling of an unknown future and a blank paper. I definitely experience it right now and it's not easy to stare into nothing. But nothing also contains everything. I wish that you will receive great visions and clarity soon. And all the best for sweet Nanook ❤
Dear Jonna Jinton! I'm sharing this from my hard too: I've been watching your beautiful videos for many years, seeing your creative path and much more. I also love nature and working with cameras. Especially when I was still single, your videos and those of other UA-camrs, yours and their interesting stories, helped me a lot to get through the long and lonely times of lockdown. I would like to say a big thank you for that! It affects me too to see when an animal ages quickly. It was terrible to see how sick you sometimes looked in the last two winters because of the months of darkness - and to hear what you yourself said about it. I've seen how much you and Johann have created, expanded, rebuilt and built up in the last few years (houses, outbuildings, garden, minibus, sales point/shipping, studio), and on top of that these harsh winters. Sometimes the body and mind need long breaks to recover. I'm getting older and the older I get, the more I notice that the long, grey and wet winters here in the German mountains are getting to me. Next year, that's one of the main reasons why I want to emigrate to sunny Spain with my girlfriend.
Maybe you should open a branch in a warm country to sell your beautiful Nordic silver jewelry and your art... a small property with a small apartment for the winter holidays. Stays abroad can also bring some inspiration to any creative person.
I wish you lots of luck and success in all your endeavors!
When I was struggling with my own life, your videos were and are still the biggest comfort and motivation that I turned to. So I hope that when you are feeling all the lows and all the highs, know that we will always be here waiting and supporting you all the way through ❤️
Dearest Jonna, I'm also having a similar feeling at the moment and today was one of my lowest mental health days in a long time. You appearing on my feed and sharing your wonderful calm spirit and soul with us is like a balm to mine. I'm so sorry for your struggles and your sadness but because of your wonderful generosity in sharing yourself, you have made me feel less alone. Your presence is, as always, magically healing. ✨God Bless you and Nanook and all your family. With all my love, Coco xx
Same @CocoAzoitei
It’s like this video came at the right moment and I knew (I felt) Jonna would posted soon.
Same here. I‘m 56 years old now and you would think I’m old enough to know how life works, but I feel completely lost at the moment… 🤷🏻♀
A tiny piece of Nanook is my dog. I think thousands feel the same. We can learn so much from dogs about staying in the present. No matter if the forest doesn't work for him anymore, he has the people he loves, so his world is as huge as his heart.
Lovely....❤
Every time I spot a new video of yours, I feel the same rush of joy as when I meet up with my sister after a long time again. You've been our friend and family member for so many years, we are not going anywhere. Whatever hardships you are going through, we're here with you ♥️ sending lots of love and patience to take root in the beautiful forest all around you 🦌
It's quite amazing how we manage to get through some of the dark times we encounter. There's always a light...Jonna, I hope you're aware of the peace and calmness you emanate. You've certainly brought joy and hope to me through your videos. Thank you. All good things to you.
Dearest Jonna, your face shows your inner turmoil right now, the exhaustion you feel, the at times hopeless feelings, these however, will be fleeting as you birth a new side to you and new adventures unfold. Your gentle heart, humility and authenticity will always shine through. The fact that you can speak your truth to all of us is a shining example of the purity of your soul. We are ALL here for you. xx
That monkey-looking man can't hurt our precious Jonna
Jonna, You are graced and blessed from nature, use it as you have shown ALL of us to heal and get through, Day at a time and we are always there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If only I could express to you how much you have helped me through my life. Hugs to you!
Jonna, you have such a beautiful soul. Please take whatever time you need and know that all of us who love you will be here when you are feeling up to it. Please take good care of yourself. You truly are a treasure in this world. Sending you love from Alberta, Canada.
La vie n’est pas un long fleuve tranquille …nous rencontrons des difficultés, chagrins , désillusions , deuils …. Nous sommes malmenés parfois , secoués, terrassés ….c’est ca « l’expérience de la vie » qui va nous façonner au fil des années , forger notre esprit, arrondir nos angles …. Et nous faire rencontrer de belles personnes pour avancer courageusement !!! Joanna , après la tempête vient toujours le soleil …. NE JAMAIS PERDRE ESPOIR
Une grand mère qui te prend dans ses bras
Beautifully said Dear... ❤🙏
I want to give you A warm hug. I know the feeling you talk about really wel, and I think it’s very authentic of you to share it with us ❤ breath by breath, day by day you will find a way through all of it, the dark and the light, the hurt and the pain, the good and the smiles. ❤ I wish you the time you need and send you A warm heart 💖
Thank you for being open and honest - the world is changing and we feel it. Love and light to you Jonna.
Bless you for being so open. Nanook is a beautiful blessing, and every day you can spend with him is a treasure. I know the pain of watching your fur baby age and wondering how life will unfold once they go back home. It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. You have the support of so many people around the world who hold you both in their hearts with everything you're going through. 🙌 Blessings to you, beautiful soul. ❤
Whenever I'm having rough moments in my day I lean towards watching your content because it is so calming and fulfilling!! Such bad beautiful intro, I could almost smell the crisp air.
Aww thank you so much!! ❤ thats means so much 🥹🙏🏻
I absolutely know what you mean with feeling blank and having an unknown life/future. I am in this state since many months, already a year and it's so exhausting... I hope, it will get better soon, but you're not alone. And it's also good to know for me and others that we are not alone. Big hug and much love from Germany! 🤎
You are a lovely light in this world and we see and feel your beautiful heart Jonna! Thank you for sharing!!
In a world where everybody seem to be focused on being productive, successful and showing only their best version, I am relieved for your honesty and humanity.
Dear Jonna, you have the most warm, beautiful soul. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing hardships. Praying you through the hard days and sending you light from America.
My life is pretty hard day-to-day (pain, disability, isolation, poverty) and Jonna's videos remind me how to see the beauty in the world. But it's also comforting to know that she goes through hard times too and doesn't let it darken her soul.
The cycle will return to the happier times, Jonna. You shared joy and beauty with us and now we'll hold it for you for a time.❤
Thank you for sharing these thought and your reality. I feel very much the same. Trying to keep my soul alive is a struggle, nice to know others may be crying too. So hard to see the light thru so much darkness! Memories sustain for only so long and this pain feels like forever. Peace and grace to you! Thanks
Sending you so much love Jonna. You are such a precious diamond for mankind. Thank you for your heartwarming words. There is so much wisdom and trust in life. So many of us have the feeling of closing the old life, while standing in front of the doors to new but yet unknown times. Yes, we have to go step by step and with every step we will see more clearly. My mantra: How good can it be?! What miracles will I experience today? Best wishes from my heart to you. You give so much ❤ Never forget to allow receiving.
Dear Jonna, It's been almost 2 years since I started learning swedish and your channel has always inspired me to keep learning, even if I'm passing through hard times here and there, we all have our struggles. But know that you inspire many worldwide, you're a legend, you're so admired. Be well. Ta det lugnt
Thank you for being so genuine and sharing your heart with all of us. You are so loved...happy to hear you're resting more, and still pushing yourself a little bit to create, or like you did in this video, simply enjoying creation. We are with you. Wherever the road turns...you're never alone. Bless you Jonna!
Every living thing has a beginning and an end. It is part of the grand scheme of things. It is hard and beautiful at the same time. All we can hope is that, as we slow down, we have those around us that love us and we do the best we can to still enjoy the little things. Nanook is VERY loved and lives a wonderful dog life filled with nature!
clicking this video at the hardest time of my life, can relate. We feel the same, which is a great relief to me. Thank you Jonna for sharing this to us.
My love to you and your precious canine. Mine turns 16 in a few weeks and it’s hard on us guardians of our pets. She is now deaf and like yours, lives for food 🙂. Enjoy every second with them. Take care of yourself and when you are ready to talk with someone, you will. Sending bright light💞
It is so hard to see our pet getting older, I'm so relieved that your sweet Nanook is well, and you and your family too 🙏. We lost our beloved dog, Joyce, on last february, we were not prepared and we didn't see it coming. She was 10. We are still not able go back where we used to take a walk with her. Autumn was her favorite season, she loved the forest so much and she used to sit at the top of the garden or on the beach next to the river, and she could just sit there for hours and appreciate all the life in the nature around her. It was such a joy for us to look at her and just stay with her... My dear Jonna, I don't know what is going on in your life right now, but I just wanted to tell you that we love you no matter what. Take really good care of you ♥ I send you a lot of love ♥
Thank you so much for sharing this ❤❤ And im so very sorry for your loss ❤❤
We ALL go thru very low points in life ! I am in my twilight years & i have learned that for people who are deeply connected to the earth - like i am & i sense you are too - absolutely NEED to get outside during low times. I take short walks, make a point to watch sunrises & sunsets, actually watch the seasons change, & so on... If i stay inside - i only focus on my problems or things not right in my life. When i go out - i close my eyes, take a deep breath & lift my head to the sky & as you let your breath go - do that with the thought of 'releasing ' your problems out into the world ! When you open your eyes & lower your head - it must be with the intention of SEEING the world all around you & then let your feet take you wherever!!
I will continue to send you HOPE & LOVE & to all !
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
You inspired me, helped me find myself when i was so lost in life. Of course your videos, how you capture nature, your creativity are beyond words but what helped me most is letting us in your journey with every side bad or good, ups and downs with the purest most beautiful human way possible. Even if you don’t post anything for a while or ever, no matter what, I feel so blessed to get to know you and your journey. I don’t think I’ll ever forget you and how you helped me grow as a person just by being you. My heart&soul are always with you and your family 💙 (Biggest hug ever)
As long as he has his appetite, that is encouraging! Sending beautiful hugs and lots of love to your beautiful Nanook! We love him as our very own❤
I sat for a long time after watching this video... I'm not sure if I can, or should try, to express my own experience here. However, like so many others have said; know that you are not alone. Autumn can be a time of great solace and beauty, the bright yellow and orange and red leaves sharing their warm reflected light. But as the old saying goes; if your heart is cold, our fire cannot warm you. The... not knowing, is the hardest part. It steals our sleep, our dreams. It is a dark forest path that we must walk carefully along...sometime alone. And that's ok. That's as it should be. But the forest is our home. And it will care for you as you are as much of it as it is of you. You are exactly where you need to be, even though it doesn't feel like it. Breath... and know that you are receiving kind and dear thoughts from many who have found solace and joy and hope and serenity in the parts of your life you have been kind enough to share. Now, I need get back to walking down my own forest path...
This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this. I could not have said it better. ❤
This was so beautifully put. Thank you for your wonderful heart and words.
Jonna, the last video you made on the island was beautiful! You’re to hard on yourself. Yes, we love the cinematic videos you post, but your “simple” videos are just as wonderful. I’m sorry you’re struggling. I wish there was something we could do to help. Just know we’re here for you. Sending you love and light. Kramar ❤
Sending love you to you, Johan, Nanook.and your family 💓
A little over a month ago I had to say goodbye to my almost 15 year old dog Miki. He was my friend and savior and the pain is still so fresh. It was so hard to see him decline as his heart started to give up. I tried my best to give him relief with medications and love but it could only go so far. I know Miki knew how loved he was and I know Nanook knows how loved he is ❤ It hurts to see your friend become older and frail.
Im so sorry for your loss ❤😭
So very sorry for your loss of Miki. Our fur friends are truly our family and often our saviours as yours was for you. I lost my cat 24 years ago and wasn’t given the opportunity to say good bye to her which to this day upsets me. The thing I’ve seen and have heard spoken of dogs is that they will go the lengths of the earth to please their masters, despite their own pain so something for dog owners to be aware of in those final months and weeks of declining life. Maybe Nanak will drag himself along to be with and make Jonna happy, to protect her and not leave her side. So something to be aware of in these harder times. This was such an honest and beautiful video from Jonna..I hope she doesn’t mind me saying this about dogs, just an awareness, and thinking of her beautiful Nanak. Love & Light to us all❤
I've been going through a really rough patch the last year or so, too (divorce, moved to back to my home country after 20 years abroad, unemployed until just recently), so I feel you. Change is always so hard, especially when it is change that we hadn't anticipated. Holding you up in my heart, and wishing you little glimmers of light in the fog of it all. Take however much time you need. We'll all still be here.
Sending you so much love ❤
Nanook is a treasure that will always be with you...he always is filled with such joy. We all slow down when we get a little older, fourteen years is incredible. Every thing changes we have to understand the impermanence of all we experience. Behind the clouds the sun is always there. Hugs to both you and Nanook
You bring so much inner beauty to everyone online! Thank you for sharing your truth - it is courageous! I admire that you are able to reach out in your difficult time - it is something that I could not see myself being able to do. I'm sure that you will have an outpouring of positive support from everyone from the online community! Sending you positive thoughts, and wishes that you will find what you are seeking, and will feel calm and comforted! You are a beautiful soul!
I have been feeling really depressed for the last week, very difficult. I feel I have lost my passion for my profession, my skills, my growth, my future, and, and, and. Listening to you, knowing I am not alone, gives me just a little strength, so thank you. Not that I wish that on you, but you made a bit of a difference to me.
I know this also very much, many people go through this at the moment what I hear and read, "the dark night of the soul "......it is a very intense time right now , in energy. For the better of us all here on earth.
Beautiful video which had me in tears. I resonate totally how much you miss having Nanook on your adventures, having lost my dog 1.5 years ago , watching them slow is incredibly hard but he is happy and knows how loved he is and that is worth everything , please dont feel bad about taking him into the forest for his birthday game , he was really enjoying it and he wont be feeling bad that you did that for him. Dogs understand totally the meaning of the word unconditional , enjoy every moment with him , he is truly a living legend xx
Dear Jonna, thank you for sharing your feelings that most of us know as well. Sometimes life gets tough... But in moments like these I repeat "It will pass" - that is my experience... it always does in some way. In moments like these I like to watch your videos... they usually cheer me up or calm me down. And like you said... concentrating and being grateful for all the little beautiful things around us is really helpful! Get better soon, don't give up!
He’s a beautiful animal with a beautiful heart. Watching this vid helps me understand huge changes in life. I live and help take care of my mom. It’s so hard. What’s happening to Nanook, mirrors my mom’s struggles. It’s as though one is watching A slow motion train wreck. I know I’m gonna lose her soon. I hope Nanook, like my mom, can stay strong as long as they can. I hope the same for you too
I love the fact that you are always so open about how you are feeling because everyone goes through struggles in life. It's part of being human and luckily a lot of times it pushes us towards personal growth. You are so refreshingly genuine and such a beautiful person. Although your cinematography is amazing, I also love watching videos where you just talk to us and fill us in on what you have been up to or how you are feeling. Sending you and Nanook lots of positive energy and love!
I’m thinking planetarily and energy of the world is affecting us empathic folks. I’ve been down and weepy and heavy feeling the past week or so. I know it’s time to let the tears flow and keep that energy moving. I have just started , today, sitting at the table and picking up art supplies. The seasons bring change. ❤
That’s exactly how I see and feel it as an empath as well😊
Or it's just life, ups and downs
Thank you Jonna for this video. I love seeing you and Nanuk. Sending you, Nanuk and your family lots of love and prayers.
I used to have 2 big shaggy dogs, Border Collie breeds. They were both female and both lived until 18 years old. I used to do everything with my dogs outside of work. We lived in Western Australia and would swim at the beach and beach walks and bush hikes. There are beaches where dogs can be. After they both died, at different times, I was SOOOOO lost. I still go to dog beaches, and go to our favourite places. I miss them so much. When they got older, it was difficult to see them unable to physically do what used to be such joyful activities.
I feel you.
Much love 🙇♀️💗
You have worked hard and shared so much love with the community you have built here. Well done. Take the care of yourself that you need to. People here really care for you. Smart to realize that life is a struggle at times. Also smart that you are gently pushing yourself to show up to do kind things for yourself. Pick those berries! That is one of my favorite things to do in the summer as well.
We appreciate your genuine honesty about the struggles in life. And, you’re right, all us humans go thru this…many times. One of the best ways to get through it is to keep thinking about what is working well in your life. Even the simplest thing, saying I am young! You wouldn’t believe how many people are dealing with the pain of the human body aging. To be young is such a gift. Yes, we know, problems and concerns are huge. We have had to dig deep and find the gifts in the life we have. There’s really no alternative…love your life, including the hard times, because this experience, in our bodies on planet Earth right now, is So sacred and precious. We send our love and support Jonna ❤
I feel for you. I've been in a similar state for a year now. It's like I'm standing at a train station waiting for the right train to come. Some mystics call it the dark night of the soul. When the old aspects of yourself die, you enter a certain void. And then, little by little, all the new and true parts come in so that you can live your new true self. I have learned to trust and surrender to this process. Hey, and I'm not ready for fall and winter yet either! I don't want summer to end soon.
Little by freaking little alright, I feel like it's taking forever for me to figure things out
I know this video is a little older, but I can relate so much. I'm going through a lot myself and my creativity has diminished so much over the past few weeks. But like you said, sometimes you need to just push through. Every video I've ever watched that you made has made me cry, they are so heart felt and we share the same passion for nature which makes me really emotional. I think one of the things that really bothers me in life is how much the land is changing where I live. We live similar lives, but you're a little more isolated. There is a fair amount of development going on and my home is gradually loosing it's connection to nature, which really makes me feel disconnected from who I am.
Yes trust the process. Everything will unfold as it's meant to. Take the time to heal your mind, body, and spirit. Don't push too hard cuz sometimes the body will rebel, especially if it's calling for solitude and quiet. Just BE Jonna and you will be ok. Sending much lovingkindness 💜
Nature knows you are hurting Jonna, that is why she put on an amazing display for you. You are a woman of the woods and it welcomes you. Take your time feeling better. Your viewers will wait, and send positive thoughts your way. You truly are beautiful, inside and out. So gentle and pleasant, a joy to listen to and watch. Prayers to both you an Nanook from PA USA
Joanna you are so authentic and your transparency crosses many hearts and so many life’s are touched by your openness to share…the good, the bad, and the ugly. As so many people have shared already, we are here for you, and the content of your video are at times so beautiful but it is you, we are seeking. Stay strong, prepare your body with extra light this coming darkness, SAD syndromes is real. Some light kits out there are truly life changing. Take good V’ts D&K2 blend. You owe us nothing, but to be true to yourself first. With so much love xx i have as well felt this summer the fastest and most challenging of all…it’s the summer of inner quests and inner search…
You are his world, as much as you believe its food its you. Seeing our pets grow old & frail is heartbreaking and we feel so much sorrow for them getting slow because we remember them as the bouncy, lively pup they once were and its painful to no longer see that. Whatever your struggling with I wish you the best and sending some comforting hugs.
Dear Jonna, you have already given us so much joy, peace and inspiration with your videos. Take the time you need. 🦋❤️
Hugs, Jonna! I feel honored to get to share a little in your life and to witness your honesty and courage as you choose to share the difficult alongside the beautiful. Love to you!
