serafaeryThis was such a lovely, relaxing experience to watch, tonight. I watched the beginning of it a couple nights ago but fell asleep :)
Jonna has been making jewelry for as long as I have been sparkling. Her success has been phenomenal and I am so happy for her. She did not do it alone and with no support or guidance like I did with my little business and art, but that doesn't detract from what she has accomplished or how I resonate with her passion. (*I did have support of dear kind, loving, generous, caring, thoughtful friends, without whom none of my work would be possible. I just mean I did it without financial, family, or partner support. In my life, friendship has been everything.) To me she is so inspiring. I just love her spirit. She has such an incredible little life, and the most warm and loving close cozy supportive family and community, but the best part is how endlessly grateful for it she is, and how hard she works to maintain it, and how much love she pours into her work.
There are times she posts things that really clash with my sensibilities, I think her youth has something to do with that, and her maybe small-town upbringing (even in Scandinavia there is some naiveté that comes with being raised in such a small community, I guess).
But even so, she is one of those beings that just makes me feel better about mortality, because there will always be some little beautiful humans in the world expressing the same sort of love I express, loving the same little things I love, wishing the same things I wish. We're all unique but the spirit behind our love and creativity and connections are universal, like different colored threads woven together in a beautiful pattern, that continues long after our little piece of thread runs out. Even if we have no offspring, we have family in life itself - the birds, the clouds, the trees, all of it.
