Still am 🤪 I went back there first thing this morning. Then again a few hours later and hung around for ages!!! So very nearly caught one, twice! Held it but it escaped! They are so fast and smart! Just now I asked for a trap from a Lost and Found trap. I have some options which is great! One lady lives quite far away but happens to be heading into Hastings today and tomorrow and offered to let me borrow her cat trap! Hope that works out, otherwise I have a plan B which is borrowing one from the animal shelter on Monday 😊 I will try not to get too emotionally attached to them but it's possible I may be tempted to keep one! Haha I love cats so much! Already have four of them though. If I manage to get a good job in the new year then maybe! My sister would love one of the gingers 😁 I mainly started trying to catch them for her. I also hope to catch the mother and get her neutered. Apparently you can get vouchers for that. They would then release her where she was found (bit sad 🙁 - Difficult to tame a wild cat though!)

Thank you for your beautiful, thoughtful and truthful words 😊🙏 Yeah, it's easy as humans to get lost in our minds sometimes but there is beauty and peace to be found in the here and now. We just need to remember to come home to it 💖

They're a blessing not a curse! 😊 Flower remedy 💛

Hi Oliae 😊 (is that your real name?) Thank you for watching 🙏 I'm sorry that you have been dealing with loneliness too. It can hit you like a ton of bricks sometimes and can feel very painful. Please hang in there! Today I spent more time in nature with my bare feet planted on the earth and I really feel it is making a huge difference to my health. Today I was smiling and laughing again for no good reason. The same will happen for you one day. Remember on those days when you are feeling low that "this too shall pass"! Take care and thanks for sharing 💛

Hey Sam! Wow long time no speak! Thank you for your lovely message and for being here! Have you been a subscriber since the start or did you just stumble across me? 😄 I'm so sorry to hear that your marriage broke down 5 years ago. I can only imagine how challenging that time of your life must have been! Is that why you moved to Taranaki? I haven't lived in Welly for four years now (time flies!) Moved back home to Hawke's Bay at the start of 2021. Lost my beautiful mother to cancer. Working remotely has always been my dream as I'm a homebody (good on you for managing to make that lifestyle work!) but too much alone time also isn't good. I know it all too well. Have lived on my own close to ten years now, with a one year flatting break in between out of necessity. Love it but I know I need to find a healthier balance. Just struggled to meet people who I truly connect with (granted I didn't try hard enough - but it's difficult when you struggle with health issues). We only ever had a brief hello chat but I definitely remember your name! I will definitely let you know if I'm ever in Taranaki, please also let me know if you are ever in Hawke's Bay. Would love to have a proper catch up! 😊 Have you made new friends in Taranaki? Thanks for reaching out. x

@@SimplyNobel I stumbled across you a few months ago, and it was so lovely to see your face again! So sorry to hear about your mother, that must have been so difficult :( I am so lucky to work remotely and am coming up on my 6yr anniversary with the company. It's hard to make friends here because they are very diferent people from what I am used to but I do have a couple of good ones. I love your braveness with the sharing that you do and that you have still been performing. I would give anything to do another Project Born, it was the best time of my life doing those 2 shows. So nice to touch base again - and yes, let me know if you are ever over this way!

Such a small world! Love it! 😀❤ Thanks re my mother. Yeah it was tough but I feel fortunate that I got to say goodbye and to mentally prepare myself for it (as much as one can!) I am living in her home atm which has been a blessing 💛 Wish I could share it with her though. Yeah Project Born was cool! That's awesome that you consider it the best time of your life. Singing in a musical recently certainly was a highlight of mine. Finally found some of my tribe here. Well, we don't hang out outside of the theatre, but it will still be nice to see them at events! Sharing on here feels quite therapeutic for me 😊 Some people seem to find my videos somewhat helpful or motivating so that's a plus! Some things I do keep to myself of course. It's all about finding a healthy balance (me and my balance haha). Congrats on being with the company for 6 years! Are you a graphic designer? Yeah finding people who you truly vibe with is tricky sometimes. I just saw that I received a response from a lady on Bumble BFF so that's nice, hopefully a new friend. I recommend you check it out! And hey, you can always move back to Welly if you work remotely. It must be beautiful where you live though. Hugs!

Loneliness sure is real. I was watching a NZ documentary about aging. One thing that was said was that chronic isolation can be like smoking 15 cigarettes a day. I also had a long history of mental health issues which wasn't helping me where aging more rapidly is concerned. But I really believe that earthing has the power to heal inflammations in the body and that it could benefit so many people. You too btw, no pressure but do let me know if you ever get into it! Haha Thank you I will have fun I'm sure... just gotta get used to putting on my social hat! 👒 x

@SimplyNobel I do walk barefoot during summer. But during the winter month, with the snow... it's a bit too cold! Lol I hope it helps you!

@@LivingLifewithJudith Nice! Haha fair enough re winter! Especially where you live! Can always buy a grounding mat though. That's what I plan on doing 🙂 I'm hoping that my cheap and cheerful option will work... you can test them but that costs more money. Might upgrade when I have more money. The "pioneer" of grounding sells products but they cost a lot! Well tested though. OK I will stop going on about it now, please excuse me 😄 Have a lovely rest of your day with your daughter 🌞

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! You know, I do find making these honest videos really healing and cathartic. It seems like the topic of loneliness speaks to a lot of people so I hope it is uplifting in some way. I'm so sorry to hear that you are in a strained marriage and that you often feel very lonely. Do you have any close, supportive friends? How long have you been married if you don't mind me asking? Good on you for leaving the cult that you no longer believe in! I know some people don't believe in divorce but I personally believe that sometimes it is the answer. I'm all for going to therapy and doing your best to make it work though. But sometimes people just grow apart, and that's OK. It's a very personal decision, you will know what's best for you in the long run. For now, maybe you can carve out more you time in nature 🌱 I wish you all the best! 💛

Hey Judith! 🙂 Yeah good food is everything! Super healing and it can help prevent illnesses. I've never heard of maladaptive day dreaming no, makes sense though! Will look into it thank you 🙏 Yeah I always slack off with the yoga but it's also so good for us! Also very grounding and healing 😊 That's great that you stretch a lot, keep it up! Thanks for stopping by again 💛 Have a great day! 🌞

Good to meet someone who can relate to my symptoms. Did you also have any head traumas as a young child? I had a fair few! Have already spoken about them in previous videos. Oh what a shame that you can't walk in the grass barefoot where you live. I had to Google funnel webs. Eek, scary! So is it also not safe during the day time? You could always try the bucket with soil idea as a compromise if you ever want to give grounding a go... it may do you good too! 🤞

@@SimplyNobel If so, minor. Not serious ones.

Thanks for watching my video and for your input. Why should a man be responsible for the life or death of those in his vehicle? That's hardly the case unless we are talking about the olden days when men really were the providers and had to hunt for the family. There's no need for the man to be the leader in the family unless you are religious. Happy for a man to take reigns and lead sometimes, but not always. But to each their own.

Thanks for being here 😊🙏

Thanks for your lovely message Judith, as always! 😊 Yeah, just doing whatever feels best in the moment is a good way to roll I think, never mind what others or the algorithm is doing 😉 We are friends Judith! Albeit virtual and from afar! 😁❤ Yeah, thoughts are powerful. Thank you, you take care too! 😘

Haha! Missed me Cam? 😀 Nice seeing some old familiar names again 😁

@@SimplyNobel Well yes. ( I suspect more strongly now, you have ME/CFS, with aspieness as well. This is a very specific combination. )

@CamAustralia001 Still not sure about the Aspie thing tbh. A lot doesn't really fit with me. Doesn't matter either way. But yeah... I do think I've had Chronic Fatigue syndrome for most of my life, but I refuse to think that it's a life sentence. Definitely have gotten stronger rather than weaker over the years, so that's good 🙂

@@SimplyNobel I offer my view as a very experienced person with CFS, and because I do not want it to be a life sentence for you. There are strategies that can assist. Not cure unfortunately, but improve daily life. The knowledge is with other experienced CFS long termer's, not the medical profession. It is a slow process to get less sick. Unfortunately the process is trial and error of what others have found helped them, to find what actually are of help to you. Just trial and error. There was more research into CFS before covid, and even more now with 'long covid'. However, it will be several years before anything treatment wise comes out of this. Keep pacing. Keep being you. You do shine in your unique way. 🙂

@CamAustralia001 Thanks Cam 🙂 Yeah one thing that did help for me was eating less gluten. I also believe a lot of it was stuck energy/grief which I have healed from. Definitely a night and day difference from when I was a child. Hope it will only continue to get better. Cheers.

@@e2point0 Heya! 😀 Rob was it? Or Ross? I do try to remember everyone's name! Nice to have you here still! I hope life has been treating you well? 😊

@@SimplyNobel Yes it's Rob. I'm great thanks. Good to see you, good to hear your honest account of life, wishing you restful and joyful days ahead. Kind regards as always...

Thanks sweet Rob 😊 I wish the same for you. Thanks again for stopping by! 🙏

Hi John, just found your message in my hidden messages folder... not sure why KZbin often moves comments there! Thank you, this is an old video now! Still playing catch-up I take it? 😄 I am applying for office jobs again... can't be unemployed forever (although I wish we all could and that money would never be of concern!) Life is short, we should all be FREE! 🕊

@@SimplyNobel I wish you nothing but the best. Especially with Little Miss Sunshine. I think you would make a great stage actress . Yes I think that as a 42 year old I spent a lot of my younger years early 20s in a faith that I didn’t have much in common with, but made a few friends,I remember you asked how I have changed over years and I think that knowing what fits in my system and what doesn’t . Spirituality also helped me become proactive in tough situations. And understanding the importance of doing your own thing independently is a great asset because you can make a living doing what you do best and not having to report to so and so . Hence I invest . Retail jobs are terrible and it’s a lobotomy every time you’re there because you have to deal with people you have to deal with bosses and can be very soul crushing . I don’t know if you’ve kept up with what’s going on in the United States but we missed an opportunity to elect our first female president . She would have been a good one . I think when I retire, I would like to make a difference for my country in a positive way. Just like how you would want to be a stage actress. I think you did pretty well. And you seem to have fun doing it. It’s awesome when you have fun and what you do for a living.

@@SimplyNobel Yes I am playing catch-up because in addition to work, I have been taking classes in musical entrepreneurship .

@johndooley661 Good on you John! 😊👏

Thanks for your lovely long message John just read it now while still at the supermarket 😄 Gosh, yeah I have had soul crushing jobs in the past too. Now and then I help out with stock-take in retail stores but it's pretty draining. Can only handle so much of it. I'm not so good at staying on top of politics, not even in my own country! But I do know you missed out on electing your first female president. What a shame. Trumps been there for long enough! There are so many conservatives in your country. I'm not sure if Biden was any better over the past few years? Thanks, Little Miss Sunshine is officially over now! As of just over a week ago. Bitter sweet. All good things must come to an end though. Definitely plan on continuing with musicals and play productions and helping backstage. Don't get paid though. But happy to do it for the love of it 🙂 Great that you know what's right for you and your soul later in life. That's one good thing about getting older. Get more comfortable in your own skin. Best wishes to you!

@@CozyRobi Welcome back! 😀 So lovely to hear from you again! Wow six months, time flies eh!? I hope you are feeling much better Robia, taking time out is so important for our mental health. It's never too late to get back on the wheel though! 😊 I have been less active on KZbin in recent months but I do still enjoy Vlogging now and then. Am just not pressuring myself to post as regularly. I probably will post more now that it's good weather again though! Prefer filming outdoor walk and talk Vlogs 🙂 It's healthy and chill. Thank you for all of your lovely words. So cool that you also did theatre. You definitely should get back into it when the time feels right. I look forward to checking out your channel again soon! Take care and bye for now! ❤

@@SimplyNobel I think it’s good to take it easy and just have fun with creating instead of being stressed about it. So taking a break sometimes is essential to keep it fun 😊 I’m looking forward to watch your vlogs, you’re doing a great job at it. It’s fun to watch! 🌸

@CozyRobi Yeah I'm over trying to get 4000 watch hours! Would rather just film when I feel inspired to! Thanks Robi... I haven't announced it in a video yet here but anything further to do with acting will be shared on my channel @NobelAct 😊 I haven't checked your channel yet but I will soon! Goodnight from New Zealand 😘

@@SimplyNobel I totally get that! I uploaded a new video after 6 months and I’m totally fine with it. So cool, I wil definitely check out your acting channel! Good night from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 😄

Eek! I know! 😁 We finally blocked out the final scene today... now it's just practice, practice, practice until show time!

@@ostihpem I did take some acting classes years back but not all too many 🙂 This isn't a paid gig, it's amateur theatre, so you may be able to jump right in without any training if you want to give it a go and are willing to do it for free for the sake of the experience. You could contact your local theatre and see if they ever hold auditions 😊 Maybe there are also acting classes for adults where you live. Google is your friend. Another option is to practice acting by doing TikTok acting challenges for fun. Could always make your videos private and use it as an acting practice tool only. I just got back home from rehearsals now actually 😊 The men in the show have performed in other plays and musicals but most of the work they have done has been for free. Some things are worth doing for free I think. It's not all about money. You build some great new friendships and it also gives you a confidence boost. I will definitely film more videos about my acting experience in the future! Not sure re teaching though... I don't think I'm qualified enough to do that. Thanks for the suggestion though 🙂

@@SimplyNobel I think this could be a good time for you to look out for minor roles in movies or theaters because now you can refer to some credential. At the beginning it might not bring significant money at all but you are so right that some things are worth it without getting material compensation. I also think BECAUSE you are no seasoned acting pro you could give good advice for absolute beginners because they can get you better than some pro actor that cannot feel himself into a beginner anymore.

Yeah I definitely would if I didn't live where I do! That said I do plan on attending screen acting workshops next year (was going to do it this year but then I got this gig! 🙂) They provide footage for our show reels and they may be able to help me secure work on the odd occasion that movies are filmed here. Yeah, some creative passion projects pay you in other, more important ways 😊 There's a lot of inner growth that happens with this type of work. It's been challenging at times but good challenging! I have a TikTok account and KZbin Channel called Nobel Act. That's where I plan on sharing acting duets and show reels so it will serve as a portfolio of sorts. I planned to speak more about my acting experiences on here but who knows I may create videos on acting for beginners in the future, you may be on to something 🙂 It's hard to forever pump out content and come up with fresh ideas. Will keep it in mind though! 😊

Just saw your message while at the supermarket. How's that for a prompt response while out and about! 😄 I was standing in front of an ATM at first. Man walked up to me asking if I needed it. "Oh I'm so sorry" I said while walking away, phone in hand.

Hey Katarina, thanks for your lovely messages! 😊 Haha, yeah he is such a chill dog! When I arrived I appeared through the side gate and had to walk around. Was calling him and it took a minute for him to run over. He was peering out through the gate on the opposite end of the house. Was briefly excited but it didn't take him long to plonk down 😄 That's great that you walk local shelter pups... good on you! I was just thinking that when I noticed your username 🙂 I have wanted to do that in the past but at the time, the shelter was a little too far away to get to to make it a regular thing. You would be perfect for offering pet services! I use an app called Pawshakes. There are other petservices out there though, just Google it 🙂 Goodluck!

@@SimplyNobel Thanks for sending a follow up message because I wouldn’t have noticed this reply otherwise, it was hidden like you stated. I really appreciate your time in answering my question, I will have to give the apps a go! 😊

@WalkingWithStrays Glad you got them! 😊 Yeah, KZbin is funny like that sometimes. Goodluck with the apps! 😁
