A Peek Inside My Personal Journal
It’s my final week in Saskatoon for the (s)un foreseable future! (...I mean ‘making plans’ is SO 2019) ⠀ ⠀ No better way to start a new chapter than to start a new journal! This little guy (#17) has been the longest I’ve had a journal before filling it - at 15 months! And holy mittens there are some GEMS of insights and moments captured in it. ⠀ ⠀ There’s something so special about filtering thoughts and ideas through mind, body, hand to pen and onto paper to manifest those creative firings out into the physical world. It’s like a simultaneous upload/download of thought and expression to free yourself and make room for more ideas to come in. ⠀ ⠀ Who else still writes in a journal these days? One thing I do intend to plan on is filling the next one sooner than the last! ✌️📚🌎🤗 Here are a couple sneak peeks into my journal from a wild year of managing some incredible international projects. *For more insight from the pages check out my Instagram post HERE
On the Momentom front our Artist Residency project's are still going full steam ahead! The Green Residency in Costa Rica at Central America's original permaculture home Punta Mona (led by Gabrielle Bonneville) as well as Circus Island at El Pital Cacao Paradise on Ometepe, Nicaragua - which I'll be leading with Therese Lowton and our Nica fam!
Check out a little video sneak peek at how the space is transforming at El Pital below and the epic Guest Teacher lineup coming together!

So far it sounds like a lot of rain and not as devastating on the Pacific side (where most of our crew and population are) than on the north eastern Atlantic side towards Honduras. Last night it had weakened to a tropical storm. Take care of each other!
In the meantime, the ocean is calling. Time to pickup the phone!
Nicaragua, See you in two weeks!
The frozen flow of water here is a little different and I miss the continuous roar of your jungle energy reminding me I’m alive and part of something greater than myself.
Keep living a life worth journaling everyone! We need to make that time for self expression and introspection these days more than ever!
Tu amigo, -John

Plumbing should be considered early in any commercial construction or remodeling project. Planning Commercial Plumbing alongside other building work can help avoid coordination issues later.
A properly designed surveillance system can help people keep track of activity around their property. Choosing knowledgeable Security Camera Installers is an important part of planning that system?
Keeping a journal during periods of international project work can reveal something that formal reports often miss: how decisions, assumptions and changing circumstances actually develop over time. That distinction matters in project environments where the written record may later become important for understanding why an action was taken, particularly when responsibilities are shared between multiple parties. Personal notes can also highlight small changes in expectations before those changes appear clearly in formal correspondence. In contractual work, a similar discipline can be useful when reviewing FIDIC employer obligations, since responsibilities are not always isolated from the wider sequence of notices, instructions, information and project decisions. The journal examples here also suggest that documenting experiences does not have to be rigid or…
Good checklist. Before hiring, I compared plumbing services near me by checking licences, insurance, and recent reviews. A punctual plumber who protects your floors and cleans up afterwards deserves more trust than the cheapest quote.
Indoor comfort involves more than setting the thermostat to a lower temperature. Proper airflow, clean components, and a well-maintained system all contribute to cooling performance. People researching AC Repair Boca Raton can learn why regular upkeep and timely troubleshooting matter, especially when an air conditioner begins taking longer than usual to cool the home.
