So I went to the airport to pick up my husband who had been away working for a week. His flight was late and I was getting tired. Finally people started streaming off the plane and through the gate door. A young girl looked around anxiously and then suddenly grinned and ran into her boyfriends [...]

Svaha Spirit Series ~ SUP Larry the whale
June 13th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday
Last week I tried Stand Up Paddling (SUP) for the first time and LOVED it! I can hardly wait to get out and do it again. My core was sore for a couple of days. Perfect! Who doesn’t need a good core work out. It is so much fun to get out on the water [...]

The Book of Awesome
June 11th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
We featured “The Book of Awesome” in our newsletter last month but I really wanted to share some of it with all of you in a post as well. I bought my son a copy of the book for his birthday recently, and I bought one for myself as well. I can’t resist doing the [...]

Fuel: When Will We Learn?

I was shocked when I came across the video below. Are you kidding me? This has actually happened before and nobody learned from it? Aaargh!
But wait! There are people out there trying to make a difference. Phew! This film’s dvd is due out on the 22nd of June. Very interesting and timely.
Check out the official [...]

Emotional Internet Radio
May 28th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I just made the coolest discovery online and I had to share it with you! You know how music can effect your mood, well mood also can effect your choice in which types of music you want to listen to. If I am in a dreamy mood I don’t feel like listening to dance music [...]

Svaha Spirit Series ~ Kindness
May 23rd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday
Remember Amy Krouse Rosenthal? She created the video “The Beckoning of Lovely” which I featured here some time ago. Amy is a New York Times bestselling author of books for children and grown-ups.
Amy’s web site bio page reads:
“Her books radiate fun the way tulips radiate spring:
they are elegant and spirit-lifting.”

Greed’ll getcha!
May 21st, 2010 · 4 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
A sleep-deprived office worker accidentally discovers a black hole – and then greed gets the better of him.
The lesson here is stick to stealing chocolate bars I think. I mean, he could have gone back in for a soda to wash it down and been perfectly happy, but noooo….
Silly man!
Girl Talk With Bonnie

Bonnie Johnson, co-creator of Tara Cronica, dishes about sex and love and Hollywood.
I recently found an interview on More.com with author Jackie Collins “whose modus operandi is telling salacious, splashy tales about the lives of the rich, beautiful and famous—has a new novel out: Poor Little Bitch Girl. The book centers around three young women, [...]

Thank You Northern Voice 2010
May 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Bonnie's Posts
Two of the three of us were able to attend a personal blogging and social media conference this past Friday and Saturday. Northern Voice 2010. It was our first blogging conference so we have nothing to compare the experience to, but I felt the knowledge I came away with was valuable.

Women Who Have Shaped Me
May 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
Tomorrow is Mothers Day. I’ve been thinking about my mom and how she has helped shape my life. A mother is a powerful influence on her daughter in many far reaching ways. Some positive, some maybe not so positive, but a mothers influence is very powerful never the less.
I’ve also realized there have been many [...]

Boys Will be Girls and Girls Will be Boys
May 4th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Humour
Are the days when a man was a man and a woman was a woman gone forever? Did they ever really exist? Gender roles are only expected norms that fit within a specific culture so the line is pretty obscure anyway. I don’t like it to get too fuzzy though. Call me old fashioned!
Still, I [...]

Svaha Spirit Series ~ Oh My God
May 2nd, 2010 · 3 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday
I don’t know about you, but this kind of docu-film is right up my alley. I love exploring the big questions. I will be getting myself a copy for sure.
About the film:
In every corner of the world, there’s one question that can never be definitively answered, yet stirs up equal parts passion, curiosity, [...]

Reality Check…Finally!
May 1st, 2010 · 3 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Humour
I just saw the latest commercial from Kotex and I actually felt like standing up and applauding. It’s about time! Nothing is more ridiculous to me than young women riding horses or dancing ecstatically in white spandex with big cheery grins on their faces pretending that they have their periods. And don’t even get me [...]

Am I Missing the Style Gene?
April 27th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I’ve always struggled with how to put an outfit together. When I was very little my grandmother used to make outfits for me; often with matching hats (see below). At 3 and 4 years old I looked very “put together”. My mom also sewed some pretty snazzy outfits for me. (I’m laughing right now at [...]

Everyday Should Be Earth Day!
April 24th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I know that officially Earth Day is on April 22nd, but really everyday should be Earth Day. Just like everyday should be Mothers Day and Fathers Day and…you get the picture. I think it is great that we have one day to truly devote to spreading the word on all of the ways we can [...]
