Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - Today I’m marking 1yr of sobriety.
No fanfare, no medal, no trophy. 
The journey goes on.

A huge thanks to all those beautiful people who have supported me; understood me; scooped me up and handled me tenderly and without judgement; who nudged me in the right direction; who made me laugh and helped me shed the crippling shame.

Thank you to my kids for their support; for having faith in me after I must have worried them so.

For close friends for their patience and belief.

My sobriety will continue to be my priority.

Turns out it IS possible to teach old dogs new tricks.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - So.
Here I am: 58.
No filter. No make-up.
Just me at 05:34hrs this morning.

A quiet day with none of the children around sadly but such is life as they grow up. I’ve missed them.

Lunch with a girlfriend.
Made sourdough.

Another year has passed and it’s been a largely good one. All the better for sobriety and spirituality.

It’s not been without its challenges and the odd bruising of the heart but I’m still here and I’m still learning.

As w4nky as this sounds:
I’ve fallen in love.
With myself.
It may have taken 57  years but I’m at my best now. I’m in my prime. 
I’m steadfast; anchored; solid and unwavering.

Being single isn’t sad or desperate or a failure. It’s victory over fear and loneliness. It’s triumph over a need to settle for less than you deserve.

It’s peace.

(Obvs, applications can be forwarded to:
“Liberated Woman In Her Prime” and will be dealt with painstakingly and comprehensively).
Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - I feel I need to address something.
I don’t get a lot of nasty comments - or if I do, I don’t see them or send people love in response.
But a couple of weeks ago I took part in a fab podcast @untapped.podcast to discuss my sobriety with the smart @spencermatthews .

I wore no make-up. Partly because I kinda forgot that a project for the ears is nowadays also a feast for the eyes.

But as someone who has had to wear heavy make-up on screen from 5am for years, I’m not a fan.

Most crucially tho, since childhood I’ve suffered from eczema. On my body - the creases of my arms and legs - on my face - eyes and lips. 
Make-up has always been the enemy because it’s been agony to wear.

There were a lot of positive comments about the WORDS I said on the podcast. But a considerable amount about my tanned appearance. 
AND how OLD I look.

In a few weeks I will be 58. I will never look like the fresh 21yr old that used to greet you first thing in the morning by the weather board.

I’m not ashamed to say that I am a sun worshipper and will no doubt pay the price for that. But UV lamps and salt baths, astringent solutions and creams were a feature of my life since I was a small child. I have uneven pigmentation doubtlessly not helped by ageing. I sometimes use filters in my pics because it’s easier than foundation and less painful.

I work tirelessly in my garden year round and often in the sun. I rarely sunbathe any more. Haven’t had a sunbed for 6 months - which I do occasionally in winter months. Not ashamed.

I have not had a holiday - of any kind - since 2018. That’s 7yrs.

So, I understand that an over-tanned, imperfect and AGEING female face offends you. But try to listen to the words rather than constantly judge a woman’s appearance.

You might learn something.
And making people feel shit does not make you a hero.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - Today I am 6 months sober.
On the 5th June 2024, I had the gift of desperation and reached out for help. 
I no longer recognised myself and I surrendered.
Many people have asked me how I’ve done it and all I can say is that no woman is an island - I have not done this alone. The willingness to give up alcohol came from me, yes, but without support of friends, family and my new tribe, I would not have made it this far.
This is a journey and not a destination. It’s never over. It’s a process in progress. But once you resolve to make changes, beautiful things happen.

It’s been hard and I’m sure it will continue to be but I am learning serenity and have gained an inner peace I’ve never, ever had.
The turmoil inside me is dissipating and I’m learning to accept the things I cannot change and I’m finding the courage to change the things I can.

Pic. 2: is of me in the midst of the madness. Another drunk moment. 
At first I couldn’t bear to look back at pictures of myself under the influence of alcohol. The cloak of shame was too heavy a burden.
But now I look at those images and feel pity and sympathy for that girl - she desperately needed to be scooped up; held tightly and helped. Not shamed or judged. She was quite, quite broken and had no idea there was another way.

There is so much more to say - and I will say it in time.
I’m still very much at the beginning of my journey but my life has changed in a beautiful way. It’s a spiritual thing. 
One day at a time….

Thank you to all those who have supported me - my 4 Ungratefuls; my Bestie and close friends.
And, of course, my new tribe of friends who are helping to keep me upright; showing me the way without judgment.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - My behaviour may make some people feel uncomfortable.
But I will not go quietly into the night of old age.
I have dedicated my life to caring for others.
I have more years behind me than I do in front of me.
I intend to spend them as I want.
My family are my everything.

But I, too, am quite something.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - #internationalwomensday 

I was born in an egalitarian country and I carry and apply that standard wherever I go. Sometimes digging my heels in and showing my obstinance makes others uncomfortable.

I will continue to surround myself with strong women; I hope I’m bringing two up and that - most importantly - I leave behind two strong feminist sons.
If you’re not a feminist, you’re on the wrong side of equality.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - Dawning on me that the more I learn, the less I know.
Minds can be messy places. Hearts confusing.
When you know how simple things can be and yet others insist on complicating them.
It’s important to hold on to what you have learnt.
To remember your worth.
To not be nudged off course.
To quietly whisper those affirmations until they become loud enough to drown out the bullshit.
Long in the tooth and still learning. 
Dream of a day when I no longer have to learn any lessons because, quite frankly, I am quite the scholar.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - A year ago today, I had to let you go, my darling Leo.
Maybe I hung on to you a bit longer than I should. But in the end I know I did what was right for you, not me.
Your pain and suffering gradually changed your behaviour and poor Hank was on the receiving end of your outbursts which were signs to me you were deteriorating.
But a lot of the time you suffered in silence - asking for nothing but cuddles.
You were never going to overcome your chronic lymphocytic leukaemia but you lived 3yrs longer than your prognosis.

Oh my darling boy. I miss our cuddles; I miss you tilting your head from side to side when I spoke to you as if you knew exactly what I was thinking. I miss how - like clockwork - you would appear in the kitchen at 5pm on the dot when it was time for food.
I even miss your Short Man Syndrome strops. You were a lot of personality packed into such a solid little Bulldog.

It took a while to be able to look at pics of you but today I’m so grateful for the years we had together.

Smackerjacks Lover Man.

My boy Leo ❤️

I even miss your Short Man Syndrome strops. You were a lot of personality packed into such a solid little Bulldog.

It took a while to be able to look at pics of you but today I’m so grateful for the years we had together.

Smackerjacks Lover Man.

My boy Leo ❤️
Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - A year ago today, I had to let you go, my darling Leo.
Maybe I hung on to you a bit longer than I should. But in the end I know I did what was right for you, not me.
Your pain and suffering gradually changed your behaviour and poor Hank was on the receiving end of your outbursts which were signs to me you were deteriorating.
But a lot of the time you suffered in silence - asking for nothing but cuddles.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - Finally. This worm has turned.
Can feel the sea change within. It’s palpable.
Might have been a while coming. But it’s here now. And change is a coming.
Keep your BS and your bailing; your fears and insecurities; keep your desire for intrigue - I’m not your subject. 
If @paulcbrunson and @annawilliamsonofficial are right and there’s someone out there - may they be a person of strength and integrity. With courage and conviction.
Spare me your wobbles. Don’t waste my time. My time is short and I’m reserving it for the sincere, bona fide, legitimate.
Call me ruthless.
Or just Ulrika.

(Not Urethra….. @marty_gshore 🤣)

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - This is Hank Winston Monet.
He arrived a week ago.

Those of you who know me, know I’ve fostered and adopted before. And I will do so again.
I continue to support @theedwardfoundation .

I know getting a puppy isn’t popular with many.
Hank came into my life somewhat unexpectedly and serendipitously.

Adoption will be a part of my life again at some point but this was right for me now.

Welcome Hank.
(Rocanellie Enlightenment)

Leo is being incredibly patient like the king he is.

(Hank has got Winston as his middle name in tribute to our late friend @winstonandbentley ❤️)

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - Today, 4th July, is MY Independence Day.
A situation that has been hanging over me for many years has reached its Completion.
It brought me to the brink.
It brought me to the drink.
It consumed me and nearly brought me down.
I thought it would break me or that I would break myself instead.
But, unbelievably, here I still am.
This day was not chosen by me but by someone else. Somewhat apt when you consider the date.
I have been freed from the shackles of overwhelming insecurities and freed from the bondage of someone else’s demands.

A woman is like a tea bag. You don’t know how strong she is until she’s in hot water.

I am eternally grateful for those who supported me throughout. Who were my scaffolding when I was in a heap.

Today, I am free.
It is also my Nameday in Sweden, so feel free to get yourselves a tattoo of my name somewhere inappropriate.
I’m attaching some gratuitous pics of me as a special treat.

(Apologies for sounding cryptic and all that. But I can’t say more).

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - Happy 21st, my darling, Bo Eva Coeur.
Well, this was a day I never thought I’d see.
They said they hoped you’d live to be a teenager - but here you are in all your glory.

You found your vocation and you’re working so hard at Norland to become the very best @nannybojonsson there is.

You’re stubborn. You’re very nice. But like all Scorpios, you have a sting in the tail.

You’re determined and wilful. You’re a loyal, fun friend. You have the best laugh. You’re also a bit stoopid at times. But you’re savvy and sassy; an emotional mess; energetic, needy, dramatic, obsessive and sensible: all in one day.

Happy Birthday, my four-seasons-in-one-day child.
Happy birthday, my daughter I didn’t know would live.
Happy Birthday to my ugly duckling who actually turned into a beautiful  swan.

We love you. Almost as much as you loved @joe_sugg and @harrystyles 100yrs ago.

You’re stubborn. You’re very nice. But like all Scorpios, you have a sting in the tail.

You’re determined and wilful. You’re a loyal, fun friend. You have the best laugh. You’re also a bit stoopid at times. But you’re savvy and sassy; an emotional mess; energetic, needy, dramatic, obsessive and sensible: all in one day.

Happy Birthday, my four-seasons-in-one-day child.
Happy birthday, my daughter I didn’t know would live.
Happy Birthday to my ugly duckling who actually turned into a beautiful  swan.

We love you. Almost as much as you loved @joe_sugg and @harrystyles 100yrs ago.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - Farewell, my beloved August.
I shall miss you and your warm days of hope and promise. Your lazy evenings and heavy nights.
You, the last leap of summer.
You, the final huzzah for me and all the lions, before we are forced to wait impatiently for you to visit again.
And a quiet, subdued welcome to you, September. Always my nemesis.
Black Dog descending quietly and unassumingly.
I know you’re coming. I am forewarned by my persistently darkening mind; anxious, shadowy moments desperately seeking out the last of the light. But I am never forearmed.
You come, Black Dog every year.
You are consistent, l’ll give you that.

But no matter how I prepare myself, you snap at my heels until I’m forced to accept that we will walk side by side together until you set me free again.
And you will. Because you have before.
You’re consistent. I’ll give you that.

In the meantime I will try to keep my chin up to the sun. I will try to accept that without darkness I cannot appreciate the light.
I will endure.
I might yield from time to time and acknowledge your temporary presence.
But for now, a small and reluctant welcome to you, September.
Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - So, here we are.
This is 57.
It’s been one of the hardest years during which I spent much of my time firefighting; spent too much time in judgement of myself; too much time criticising myself; allowing unworthy people to live rent-free in my head; desperately waiting for the calm to arrive at my turbulent shores.
There were times when I couldn’t see a way forward. When I truly felt it would be far easier to give up and give in.
It is painfully wearing constantly being told you’re strong - that you can handle whatever the universe sends you.
I have grown tired of being strong.

There have been personal, familial battles; emotional ones; there has been loss and health issues yet to be resolved. And you start to wonder where the joy is.

But gradually you turn small corners, one at a time. With the amazing support of close, true, genuine friends.
Because no woman is an island.
You discover a new mindset; a new tribe and an unexpected new faith.
And finally, at 57, I’m starting to love and respect myself.

I’m embracing the ability to accept the things I cannot change. To create boundaries to protect my goodwill and sanity.
I’m liking myself more.

But know this: I will never like goat’s cheese.
Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - The last 48hrs have been spent wiping up dog sick, bile and shit; I’ve had 3 shit nights’ sleep; dealt with a ton of personal shit; and generally feeling a bit shit.
Then England lost. That was shit, too.

On the flip side, I have a warm house. I have food and 2 idiot dogs.
And rum.
There’s always rum.
Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - I have news.
Randomly, on this day last year, my little Leo started chemo for his chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
Yesterday I spoke to his consultant @fitzpatrick_referrals who told me we can stop the chemo because although he will never be cured, he has responded well to treatment and will now just have regular blood tests. (Huge thanks to our local vet @henleyvets who check him every 3 weeks).

You guys know how much I love this boy.
You also know the dogs I’ve lost.
This is the best news in the circumstances and I am quietly thrilled.
It’s all that I could have asked for.

Leo, on the other hand, has taken the news in his stride.
I’m working intensely at the moment and it’s safe to say, he’s fuming.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - My darling boy.
I miss you so.
I have so much to say to you but nothing i didn’t say when you were still here.
You came into our lives like a feisty, bonkers, vocal little being who gave us no choice but to love and worship you with all our might.
You were the original Mummy’s Boy. 
What you lacked in height, you made up for in opinion and quirkiness.

When you were diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia at only 3yrs old back in 2020, I thought it was game over because complete remission is rare. The prognosis was 1yr.
But you chugged along with your mamma by your side for another 4yrs.
And perhaps I should have let you go sooner but I was guided by you.
The last year became increasingly difficult for you - your suffering changed you and your behaviour.

I was not ready to make the decision for you but then I knew I never would be.

You’re at peace now and that brings me some comfort.
Knowing you’re reunited with Nessie, Dexter and Fella does, too.

But Hank and I miss you.
Your harness hangs on the radiator; your bowl is still in the kitchen and I found Hank sleeping in your bed this morning.

Til we meet again, my darling boy.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - I was born in an egalitarian country and I carry and apply that standard wherever I go. Sometimes digging my heels in and showing my obstinance makes others uncomfortable.
I will continue to surround myself with strong women; I hope I’m bringing two up and that - most importantly - I leave behind two strong feminist sons.
If you’re not a feminist, you’re on the wrong side of equality.

I’ll never tire of saying that I can’t believe you’re seeing yet another birthday.
My darling Bo Eva Coeur, today you are 23 and I‘m so proud to have you as my daughter.
You’re determined and driven and now a fully qualified @norlandcollege Nanny. You’re relentless and full-on sometimes - at others I can’t get a word out of you but those are the joys of parenting. We have a strong bond - doubtless made stronger by those early years when your life hung in the balance and it was just you and me. 
You run at life at 100mph and sometimes I wish you’d slow down. But then you wouldn’t be you.
Very proud to be your mamma. Love you, darling. ❤️

The child I didn’t think I’d have because 3 seemed more than enough.
But then 10lbs of you ‘popped’ out when I was 41 and now you tower above me at 6’2”.
I love you so much and our relationship which has, at times, been like a walk through Jurassic Park.
You’re becoming a fine young man.
And a bit of a weirdo with your insistence on an ice cube in your tea in the mornings.
Today is yours, Malcolm Charles Tripp.

Ulrika Jonsson Instagram - My beautiful Bo Eva Coeur. 
Today you’re 24 which is a miracle on so many levels.
You’re a whirlwind; a gritty, determined, ambitious and crazy prawn.
You rarely pause for breath. You’re not light on your feet; a powerhouse to be reckoned with. A bulldozer. Nothing stands in your way and you’re prone to the odd diva flourish and  no one should be near you when you’re hangry.
But you’re caring and consistent.
I’m excited for your future. 
As long as you remember to stop and smell the roses from time to time.
Love you, Bobilitis.

No fanfare, no medal, no trophy. 
The journey goes on.

A huge thanks to all those beautiful people who have supported me; understood me; scooped me up and handled me tenderly and without judgement; who nudged me in the right direction; who made me laugh and helped me shed the crippling shame.

Thank you to my kids for their support; for having faith in me after I must have worried them so.

For close friends for their patience and belief.

My sobriety will continue to be my priority.

Turns out it IS possible to teach old dogs new tricks.

Ulrika Jonsson - 37.4K Likes - So.
Here I am: 58.
No filter. No make-up.
Just me at 05:34hrs this morning.

A quiet day with none of the children around sadly but such is life as they grow up. I’ve missed them.

Lunch with a girlfriend.
Made sourdough.

Another year has passed and it’s been a largely good one. All the better for sobriety and spirituality.

It’s not been without its challenges and the odd bruising of the heart but I’m still here and I’m still learning.

As w4nky as this sounds:
I’ve fallen in love.
With myself.
It may have taken 57  years but I’m at my best now. I’m in my prime. 
I’m steadfast; anchored; solid and unwavering.

Being single isn’t sad or desperate or a failure. It’s victory over fear and loneliness. It’s triumph over a need to settle for less than you deserve.

It’s peace.

(Obvs, applications can be forwarded to:
“Liberated Woman In Her Prime” and will be dealt with painstakingly and comprehensively).

Ulrika Jonsson - 31.6K Likes - I feel I need to address something.
I don’t get a lot of nasty comments - or if I do, I don’t see them or send people love in response.
But a couple of weeks ago I took part in a fab podcast @untapped.podcast to discuss my sobriety with the smart @spencermatthews .

I wore no make-up. Partly because I kinda forgot that a project for the ears is nowadays also a feast for the eyes.

But as someone who has had to wear heavy make-up on screen from 5am for years, I’m not a fan.

Most crucially tho, since childhood I’ve suffered from eczema. On my body - the creases of my arms and legs - on my face - eyes and lips. 
Make-up has always been the enemy because it’s been agony to wear.

There were a lot of positive comments about the WORDS I said on the podcast. But a considerable amount about my tanned appearance. 
AND how OLD I look.

In a few weeks I will be 58. I will never look like the fresh 21yr old that used to greet you first thing in the morning by the weather board.

I’m not ashamed to say that I am a sun worshipper and will no doubt pay the price for that. But UV lamps and salt baths, astringent solutions and creams were a feature of my life since I was a small child. I have uneven pigmentation doubtlessly not helped by ageing. I sometimes use filters in my pics because it’s easier than foundation and less painful.

I work tirelessly in my garden year round and often in the sun. I rarely sunbathe any more. Haven’t had a sunbed for 6 months - which I do occasionally in winter months. Not ashamed.

I have not had a holiday - of any kind - since 2018. That’s 7yrs.

So, I understand that an over-tanned, imperfect and AGEING female face offends you. But try to listen to the words rather than constantly judge a woman’s appearance.

You might learn something.
And making people feel shit does not make you a hero.

But UV lamps and salt baths, astringent solutions and creams were a feature of my life since I was a small child. I have uneven pigmentation doubtlessly not helped by ageing. I sometimes use filters in my pics because it’s easier than foundation and less painful. I work tirelessly in my garden year round and often in the sun. I rarely sunbathe any more. Haven’t had a sunbed for 6 months – which I do occasionally in winter months. Not ashamed. I have not had a holiday – of any kind – since 2018. That’s 7yrs. So, I understand that an over-tanned, imperfect and AGEING female face offends you. But try to listen to the words rather than constantly judge a woman’s appearance. You might learn something. And making people feel shit does not make you a hero. #kindness #eczema #ageing #sobriety

Ulrika Jonsson - 22.1K Likes - Today I am 6 months sober.
On the 5th June 2024, I had the gift of desperation and reached out for help. 
I no longer recognised myself and I surrendered.
Many people have asked me how I’ve done it and all I can say is that no woman is an island - I have not done this alone. The willingness to give up alcohol came from me, yes, but without support of friends, family and my new tribe, I would not have made it this far.
This is a journey and not a destination. It’s never over. It’s a process in progress. But once you resolve to make changes, beautiful things happen.

It’s been hard and I’m sure it will continue to be but I am learning serenity and have gained an inner peace I’ve never, ever had.
The turmoil inside me is dissipating and I’m learning to accept the things I cannot change and I’m finding the courage to change the things I can.

Pic. 2: is of me in the midst of the madness. Another drunk moment. 
At first I couldn’t bear to look back at pictures of myself under the influence of alcohol. The cloak of shame was too heavy a burden.
But now I look at those images and feel pity and sympathy for that girl - she desperately needed to be scooped up; held tightly and helped. Not shamed or judged. She was quite, quite broken and had no idea there was another way.

There is so much more to say - and I will say it in time.
I’m still very much at the beginning of my journey but my life has changed in a beautiful way. It’s a spiritual thing. 
One day at a time….

Thank you to all those who have supported me - my 4 Ungratefuls; my Bestie and close friends.
And, of course, my new tribe of friends who are helping to keep me upright; showing me the way without judgment.

Caption : HBD to me!!! Newest member of Club 55. I’m smart. I’m funny – peculiar AND haha. I’m kind. I’m generous. I’m lively and opinionated. I’m stronger than you could ever imagine. I’m also soft af. I’m impatient. I’m filthy. I’m perceptive and know you better than you know yourself. I’m a lover not a fighter. But if you push me, I’ll fight like a lion. I’m a proud feminist. I’m not the person I was in my 20s, 30s or even my 40s. I’m carving out a new life for myself now and I’m excited. I want to love and be loved. But would always rather be on my own than suffer fools. I make good sourdough and good love. And I still hate goat’s cheese. #birthday #55

I was born in an egalitarian country and I carry and apply that standard wherever I go. Sometimes digging my heels in and showing my obstinance makes others uncomfortable.

I will continue to surround myself with strong women; I hope I’m bringing two up and that - most importantly - I leave behind two strong feminist sons.
If you’re not a feminist, you’re on the wrong side of equality.

Minds can be messy places. Hearts confusing.
When you know how simple things can be and yet others insist on complicating them.
It’s important to hold on to what you have learnt.
To remember your worth.
To not be nudged off course.
To quietly whisper those affirmations until they become loud enough to drown out the bullshit.
Long in the tooth and still learning. 
Dream of a day when I no longer have to learn any lessons because, quite frankly, I am quite the scholar.

Ulrika Jonsson - 13.1K Likes - A year ago today, I had to let you go, my darling Leo.
Maybe I hung on to you a bit longer than I should. But in the end I know I did what was right for you, not me.
Your pain and suffering gradually changed your behaviour and poor Hank was on the receiving end of your outbursts which were signs to me you were deteriorating.
But a lot of the time you suffered in silence - asking for nothing but cuddles.
You were never going to overcome your chronic lymphocytic leukaemia but you lived 3yrs longer than your prognosis.

Oh my darling boy. I miss our cuddles; I miss you tilting your head from side to side when I spoke to you as if you knew exactly what I was thinking. I miss how - like clockwork - you would appear in the kitchen at 5pm on the dot when it was time for food.
I even miss your Short Man Syndrome strops. You were a lot of personality packed into such a solid little Bulldog.

It took a while to be able to look at pics of you but today I’m so grateful for the years we had together.

But a lot of the time you suffered in silence - asking for nothing but cuddles.
You were never going to overcome your chronic lymphocytic leukaemia but you lived 3yrs longer than your prognosis.

Oh my darling boy. I miss our cuddles; I miss you tilting your head from side to side when I spoke to you as if you knew exactly what I was thinking. I miss how - like clockwork - you would appear in the kitchen at 5pm on the dot when it was time for food.
I even miss your Short Man Syndrome strops. You were a lot of personality packed into such a solid little Bulldog.

It took a while to be able to look at pics of you but today I’m so grateful for the years we had together.

Smackerjacks Lover Man.

My boy Leo ❤️

Ulrika Jonsson - 12.6K Likes - Finally. This worm has turned.
Can feel the sea change within. It’s palpable.
Might have been a while coming. But it’s here now. And change is a coming.
Keep your BS and your bailing; your fears and insecurities; keep your desire for intrigue - I’m not your subject. 
If @paulcbrunson and @annawilliamsonofficial are right and there’s someone out there - may they be a person of strength and integrity. With courage and conviction.
Spare me your wobbles. Don’t waste my time. My time is short and I’m reserving it for the sincere, bona fide, legitimate.
Call me ruthless.
Or just Ulrika.

(Not Urethra….. @marty_gshore 🤣)

He arrived a week ago.

Those of you who know me, know I’ve fostered and adopted before. And I will do so again.
I continue to support @theedwardfoundation .

I know getting a puppy isn’t popular with many.
Hank came into my life somewhat unexpectedly and serendipitously.

Adoption will be a part of my life again at some point but this was right for me now.

Welcome Hank.

Leo is being incredibly patient like the king he is.

Ulrika Jonsson - 12.5K Likes - Today, 4th July, is MY Independence Day.
A situation that has been hanging over me for many years has reached its Completion.
It brought me to the brink.
It brought me to the drink.
It consumed me and nearly brought me down.
I thought it would break me or that I would break myself instead.
But, unbelievably, here I still am.
This day was not chosen by me but by someone else. Somewhat apt when you consider the date.
I have been freed from the shackles of overwhelming insecurities and freed from the bondage of someone else’s demands.

A woman is like a tea bag. You don’t know how strong she is until she’s in hot water.

I am eternally grateful for those who supported me throughout. Who were my scaffolding when I was in a heap.

Today, I am free.
It is also my Nameday in Sweden, so feel free to get yourselves a tattoo of my name somewhere inappropriate.
I’m attaching some gratuitous pics of me as a special treat.

(Apologies for sounding cryptic and all that. But I can’t say more).

It is also my Nameday in Sweden, so feel free to get yourselves a tattoo of my name somewhere inappropriate.
I’m attaching some gratuitous pics of me as a special treat.

(Apologies for sounding cryptic and all that. But I can’t say more).

Caption : Today, 4th July, is MY Independence Day. A situation that has been hanging over me for many years has reached its Completion. It brought me to the brink. It brought me to the drink. It consumed me and nearly brought me down. I thought it would break me or that I would break myself instead. But, unbelievably, here I still am. This day was not chosen by me but by someone else. Somewhat apt when you consider the date. I have been freed from the shackles of overwhelming insecurities and freed from the bondage of someone else’s demands. A woman is like a tea bag. You don’t know how strong she is until she’s in hot water. I am eternally grateful for those who supported me throughout. Who were my scaffolding when I was in a heap. Today, I am free.

Ulrika Jonsson - 12.1K Likes - Happy 21st, my darling, Bo Eva Coeur.
Well, this was a day I never thought I’d see.
They said they hoped you’d live to be a teenager - but here you are in all your glory.

You found your vocation and you’re working so hard at Norland to become the very best @nannybojonsson there is.

You’re stubborn. You’re very nice. But like all Scorpios, you have a sting in the tail.

You’re determined and wilful. You’re a loyal, fun friend. You have the best laugh. You’re also a bit stoopid at times. But you’re savvy and sassy; an emotional mess; energetic, needy, dramatic, obsessive and sensible: all in one day.

Happy Birthday, my four-seasons-in-one-day child.
Happy birthday, my daughter I didn’t know would live.
Happy Birthday to my ugly duckling who actually turned into a beautiful  swan.

We love you. Almost as much as you loved @joe_sugg and @harrystyles 100yrs ago.

Ulrika Jonsson - 11.7K Likes - Farewell, my beloved August.
I shall miss you and your warm days of hope and promise. Your lazy evenings and heavy nights.
You, the last leap of summer.
You, the final huzzah for me and all the lions, before we are forced to wait impatiently for you to visit again.
And a quiet, subdued welcome to you, September. Always my nemesis.
Black Dog descending quietly and unassumingly.
I know you’re coming. I am forewarned by my persistently darkening mind; anxious, shadowy moments desperately seeking out the last of the light. But I am never forearmed.
You come, Black Dog every year.
You are consistent, l’ll give you that.

But no matter how I prepare myself, you snap at my heels until I’m forced to accept that we will walk side by side together until you set me free again.
And you will. Because you have before.
You’re consistent. I’ll give you that.

In the meantime I will try to keep my chin up to the sun. I will try to accept that without darkness I cannot appreciate the light.
I will endure.
I might yield from time to time and acknowledge your temporary presence.
But for now, a small and reluctant welcome to you, September.

Ulrika Jonsson - 10.9K Likes - So, here we are.
This is 57.
It’s been one of the hardest years during which I spent much of my time firefighting; spent too much time in judgement of myself; too much time criticising myself; allowing unworthy people to live rent-free in my head; desperately waiting for the calm to arrive at my turbulent shores.
There were times when I couldn’t see a way forward. When I truly felt it would be far easier to give up and give in.
It is painfully wearing constantly being told you’re strong - that you can handle whatever the universe sends you.
I have grown tired of being strong.

There have been personal, familial battles; emotional ones; there has been loss and health issues yet to be resolved. And you start to wonder where the joy is.

But gradually you turn small corners, one at a time. With the amazing support of close, true, genuine friends.
Because no woman is an island.
You discover a new mindset; a new tribe and an unexpected new faith.
And finally, at 57, I’m starting to love and respect myself.

I’m embracing the ability to accept the things I cannot change. To create boundaries to protect my goodwill and sanity.
I’m liking myself more.

But know this: I will never like goat’s cheese.

You discover a new mindset; a new tribe and an unexpected new faith. And finally, at 57, I’m starting to love and respect myself. I’m embracing the ability to accept the things I cannot change. To create boundaries to protect my goodwill and sanity. I’m liking myself more. But know this: I will never like goat’s cheese.

Ulrika Jonsson - 10.7K Likes - The last 48hrs have been spent wiping up dog sick, bile and shit; I’ve had 3 shit nights’ sleep; dealt with a ton of personal shit; and generally feeling a bit shit.
Then England lost. That was shit, too.

On the flip side, I have a warm house. I have food and 2 idiot dogs.
And rum.
There’s always rum.

Randomly, on this day last year, my little Leo started chemo for his chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
Yesterday I spoke to his consultant @fitzpatrick_referrals who told me we can stop the chemo because although he will never be cured, he has responded well to treatment and will now just have regular blood tests. (Huge thanks to our local vet @henleyvets who check him every 3 weeks).

You guys know how much I love this boy.
You also know the dogs I’ve lost.
This is the best news in the circumstances and I am quietly thrilled.
It’s all that I could have asked for.

Leo, on the other hand, has taken the news in his stride.
I’m working intensely at the moment and it’s safe to say, he’s fuming.

I miss you so.
I have so much to say to you but nothing i didn’t say when you were still here.
You came into our lives like a feisty, bonkers, vocal little being who gave us no choice but to love and worship you with all our might.
You were the original Mummy’s Boy. 
What you lacked in height, you made up for in opinion and quirkiness.

When you were diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia at only 3yrs old back in 2020, I thought it was game over because complete remission is rare. The prognosis was 1yr.
But you chugged along with your mamma by your side for another 4yrs.
And perhaps I should have let you go sooner but I was guided by you.
The last year became increasingly difficult for you - your suffering changed you and your behaviour.

I was not ready to make the decision for you but then I knew I never would be.

You’re at peace now and that brings me some comfort.
Knowing you’re reunited with Nessie, Dexter and Fella does, too.

But Hank and I miss you.
Your harness hangs on the radiator; your bowl is still in the kitchen and I found Hank sleeping in your bed this morning.

Til we meet again, my darling boy.

Ulrika Jonsson - 9.5K Likes - Farewell, my beloved
August.
I shall miss you and your warm days of hope and promise. Your lazy evenings and heavy nights.
You, the last leap of summer.
You, the final huzzah for me and all the lions, before we are forced to wait impatiently for you to visit again.

And a quiet, subdued welcome to you, September. Always my nemesis.
Black Dog descending quietly and unassumingly.
I know you’re coming. I am forewarned by my persistently darkening mind; anxious, shadowy moments desperately seeking out the last of the light. But I am never forearmed.

You come, Black Dog every year.
You are consistent, I’ll give you that.
But no matter how I prepare myself, you snap at my heels until I’m forced to accept that we will walk side by side together until you set me free again.
And you will. Because you have before.
You’re consistent. I’ll give you that. 

In the meantime I will try to keep my chin up to the sun. I will try to accept that without darkness I cannot appreciate the light. 
I will endure. 
I might yield from time to time and acknowledge your temporary presence.
But for now, a small and reluctant welcome to you, September.

I will continue to surround myself with strong women; I hope I’m bringing two up and that - most importantly - I leave behind two strong feminist sons.
If you’re not a feminist, you’re on the wrong side of equality.

I’ll never tire of saying that I can’t believe you’re seeing yet another birthday.
My darling Bo Eva Coeur, today you are 23 and I‘m so proud to have you as my daughter.
You’re determined and driven and now a fully qualified @norlandcollege Nanny. You’re relentless and full-on sometimes - at others I can’t get a word out of you but those are the joys of parenting. We have a strong bond - doubtless made stronger by those early years when your life hung in the balance and it was just you and me. 
You run at life at 100mph and sometimes I wish you’d slow down. But then you wouldn’t be you.
Very proud to be your mamma. Love you, darling. ❤️

The child I didn’t think I’d have because 3 seemed more than enough.
But then 10lbs of you ‘popped’ out when I was 41 and now you tower above me at 6’2”.
I love you so much and our relationship which has, at times, been like a walk through Jurassic Park.
You’re becoming a fine young man.
And a bit of a weirdo with your insistence on an ice cube in your tea in the mornings.
Today is yours, Malcolm Charles Tripp.

Today you’re 24 which is a miracle on so many levels.
You’re a whirlwind; a gritty, determined, ambitious and crazy prawn.
You rarely pause for breath. You’re not light on your feet; a powerhouse to be reckoned with. A bulldozer. Nothing stands in your way and you’re prone to the odd diva flourish and  no one should be near you when you’re hangry.
But you’re caring and consistent.
I’m excited for your future. 
As long as you remember to stop and smell the roses from time to time.
Love you, Bobilitis.

You rarely pause for breath. You’re not light on your feet; a powerhouse to be reckoned with. A bulldozer. Nothing stands in your way and you’re prone to the odd diva flourish and  no one should be near you when you’re hangry.
But you’re caring and consistent.
I’m excited for your future. 
As long as you remember to stop and smell the roses from time to time.
Love you, Bobilitis.
