It takes a whole village to raise a Heather and I just revisited a special village Aunt from my childhood.  We don't need more therapists in our village. We already have lots living amongst us.    Spent a healing magical week there.  Was also nursing a wound on the fleshy part of foot for a month.  I dislike wearing shoes and so I hadn't been giving it time to heal.   

Turns out I didn't need a tetanus shot, antibiotics or professional help (subjective I know).   Just a couple of caring village Aunts.   

A friend of theirs dropped some cream off which was very poignant (pic attached).

Once foot felt better we went back into the Catlins for the day.  I don't think I can stand on the Petrified Forest often enough.

I decided to go for a drive solo one day with no Google maps and ended up in Bluff.  On a sunny day I sat and chatted to an 83 year old woman called Noelene for an hour.  A young man asked if we knew where the famous signpost was.   Typical,  I didn't even know it was metres from me and I was parked facing it.  

Enroute to Fiordland I parked up at Monkey Island Beach and finally caught up with a seasoned traveler who has been living on the road for four years now. 
​  
What saddens me the most is the vast amount of farmland everywhere I go and lack of Native forests.

    Kia Ora, my name is Heather and I have always been an overthinker.  Being an extrovert often means those thoughts flow down my hands onto the keyboard or out my mouth.  I love the meme I once saw that said something to the effect "I don't like to think before I speak. I like to be just as surprised as everyone else about what comes out of my mouth" ~ The mind Journal.   This can often mislead people to thinking I am a worrier but often once said it is gone.  It was a passing thought.   That does not mean I am not without worry.  That's the angst of an indecisive overthinker of which I am.  
    ​

    I have always felt that the way to heal is through our connection with nature.   

    This blog is a journey inside the mind of an overthinker.
