I dropped my youngest off at the airport this morning. He’s off to have fun and adventures with NZ Venturers, and I came home to a quiet house.

Later, I saw a reel where a woman asked, “Who am I when nobody needs me?”
Of course, it stopped me in my tracks and got me contemplating.

I am still the same person.

When we validate ourselves by how needed we are, what happens when nobody needs us in that moment? Does that mean we are somehow less valid as a person?

It feels closely linked to the busy epidemic we live in.
Who am I if I’m not busy?

Who we are isn’t defined by how much we are needed or how full our schedules are, just as it isn’t defined by the clothes we wear or the jobs we hold. It’s reflected in how we treat others, how we show up, and how we move through the world.

I’ve been parenting on my own for three years now, and as my children grow older and more independent, that doesn’t make me less of a mum. It simply means the role is changing, as it always does.

And as humans, we are flawed beings. Learning as we go, stumbling at times, walking through life doing the best we can with the knowledge we have at that time.

Still worthy. Still whole. Still enough, even in the quiet, even in the spaces where we are no longer needed.

Merry Christmas. May this season bring rest, reflection, and moments of connection. Thank you for trusting me with your care this year. I’ll be taking a short break and will be back from 12 January 2026.

Happy Summer Solstice to you.
Today we honour the longest day and shortest night of the year, a turning point in the natural cycle where the light lingers and nature stands in its fullness.

The summer solstice invites us to pause, to reflect on what has unfolded, to acknowledge the growth that has occurred, and to offer gratitude for what is still to come. From here, the days slowly begin their return toward darkness, reminding us of the constant rhythm of balance and change.

I spent the afternoon with a friend, moving alongside nature, and in doing so felt a deep sense of peace and calm settle in, a quiet reminder of how grounding it can be to align ourselves with the seasons.

We then spent time around the fire, contemplating what we are ready to release, what no longer serves our higher selves, and opening ourselves to new opportunities for growth and abundance. We watched the flames dance, hypnotic and cleansing.

A reset begins.

How beautiful are these flowers!

The left were a gift yesterday from a lovely lady who knows that hydrangeas are one of my favourite flowers and the beautiful ones on the right were made and given to me by Hudson’s girlfriend 💙💜.

I picked these crystals up from a market at the weekend. I really wasn’t in need of any more, yet I felt deeply drawn to the heart shape.

Yesterday I was at a Reiki share, one that I’ve been facilitating throughout the year, and I think it’s left me feeling particularly contemplative.

My heart feels so heavy over the Bondi shootings. It’s easy to live in a little bubble, especially when we’re so far removed from this level of violence and hatred. Yet war, fighting, and harm are ongoing realities in the world. The devastating actions of a few only seem to highlight a much bigger picture at play.

I don’t understand this level of hatred. I don’t understand war or fighting.

What I do understand is that we can begin where we are with love and empathy.

There are precepts that belong to Reiki, and their simple translation goes something like this:

Just for today:

Do not anger

Do not worry

Be grateful

Work hard

Be kind to every living thing

They are simple, yet powerful. A reminder to live in the present moment. A prompt to reflect on our own intentions, our own growth. And at their very core, a return to love.

I was just about to go to sleep when I heard the call of the Morepork/Ruru. This is the first time since moving to Pukekohe that I've heard one. When camping a few weekends ago I heard a Morepork calling out and I had forgotten how much I had missed the sound of them, so it is so lovely to hear one tonight.

Today, I had a few cancelations so on a spur of the moment decision with my teenagers in tow we headed out towards Kawakawa bay for a late afternoon swim.

Leaving a review is one way you can help a small business. Thank you to everyone who leaves reviews, tells family and friends, books appointments and has supported me over the years.

"Linnette was very kind and welcoming. The place had a calm, peaceful energy, which made me feel instantly relaxed. She has a high level of knowledge and professionalism, and the whole session felt truly amazing. I left feeling balanced, lighter, and deeply relaxed. Thank you for such a beautiful experience."

Update on Yin Yoga session I did tonight.

My understanding of yin yoga, which is very limited, is that it is a slower style of yoga where poses are held for longer, think of a smooth stretch but in a way that is supported. At the same time, staying present within the hold, breathing, noticing thoughts, not holding onto them but rather letting them float away.

In saying that, it will push you in ways you might not be prepared for, good ways...

So if it piques a bit of interest within you, come and try it out. Either Hatha yoga which is more active style yoga or Yin, or talk to Maria or Sirpa.

I'm just back from today's yoga session and this week i'm feeling less of a creaky old gate, and feeling more flow and flexibility within the body.

I'm also just wanting to share that Maria is starting a new class of yin yoga tomorrow evening. Yin is a slower style of yoga. Booking details are on the poster.

I was admiring my white sage plant this morning, noticing all the new growth on it, such a simple but powerful metaphor for life. 🌿

Recently, I realised it had outgrown its pot, so I moved it into a slightly larger one. Since then, it’s absolutely thriving, new shoots everywhere. It’s in a sunny spot and, of course, it’s spring, but what really made the difference was giving it space to expand and grow.

It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes we just need a little more room, in our environment, routines, or mindset to truly flourish. 🌞✨

Also… does anyone else have random objects around their house? 😂 We’ve got a collection of yellow ducks hidden (and also in plain sight) everywhere thanks to Madi. The latest discovery? A toy figure that lost its head… and now sports a duck one instead. 🦆😁
