I just turned 66 myself!! I am so content and grateful for my single cat lady life!!! Watching Linnea live her authentic life is something I wish I had been able to do when I was late 20s early 30s but at least I got here!!!
I'm 66 Libran, my world is so peaceful, joyous and calm. What a journey it was, 10 yrs ago I wanted to go because he passed. Now I say he'd be so happy I am😊❤
I’m also 66. Linnea you are the me I thought I would be, and the me I wish I had been. While I can’t do physically what you do, I’m there in spirit. Just finished a 2 month cross country bucket list road trip. Most of which was solo. Wanted it to be in a van but that didn’t work out. Regardless, I accomplished my goal, dealt with the bumps in the trip and now that I’m home, already thinking about where to go next. Love ya.
This video is so beautiful it made me smile and cry at the same time. I'm now 78 years old and this girl has give me so much joy watching her live out her dreams. Look at the lake she is recording her thoughts with it in the background how beautiful she is celebrating her birthday in this place. What an outlook on life, I wise more young people could see her and get something from her spirit, I know there is so much more of you to come in your path in life I can't wait for you next glimpse into your it, you rock sweetheart.
As someone who has spent a majority of my adult birthdays alone? I agree: being emotionally self sufficient is a very beautiful thing. I love solitude, silence & peace, too.
@@tmcbgrrl0074 No. She is forsaking the shallowness of others, the self obsession of others, and the disregard of others who think their opinion is the 'right way' to live. MOST people do not know how to listen. . . how to truly listen. They are too obsessed with themselves and how others might "see them"/"think of them" to truly hear her words. YOUR "thinking"/"opinion" is a combination of how YOU were raised (brain washed), the influence of the doctrines of YOUR chosen religion (controlled), and the constraints of the society in which you choose to live (peer pressure). She has interacted more authentically with others along her journey than many do in a life time! Or, Perhaps, you have not invested the TIME to watch all of her videos?
Sorry I have another comment: I am laid up today with a migraine and your video was definitely some medicine for me. What you said about how we leave this world alone…and the man experiencing symptoms of a heart attack - had me crying a bit. Almost a year ago, I went to Ecuador for a vision quest. It was 4 days no food, no water, no speaking and no shelter on the mountain. Hardest thing I’ve ever done. But I didn’t know something harder was coming. We had two days at the end back in the house with everybody. The last night a man in our group had a heart attack right in front of the last few of us who were still there. 3 of us worked on him until an ambulance arrived. They did not have any life saving equipment in the ancient ambulance. I went with him to the hospital, he passed while I held his face in my hands. I had only known him for 10 days. I could not understand how this happened without his wife or a family member present. I could not understand how we didn’t save him. He was my age, we were 46. As I felt him leaving, I felt exactly what you said. He was on his own, I couldn’t go with him, I had to release my grip on what I wanted to happen. To save him. To let his final moments be with his wife. It wasn’t to be. Maybe we agreed to this before we were ever born, maybe one day I’ll know. I hope he went gently. I hope your viewers learn to embrace life the way you do Linnea. This is all we get, we have to grab it.
@@andreaschadeck5596 Your words are powerful. We are on our own. We never know all of the circumstances surrounding others. I tried to be present for others. I tried to help others on their journey. . .and in a few cases I 'know' I did. Isn't that part of our journey? I am not saying it is easy. Based on what I read, you lived purposefully in the moment. That is all we can do. No one would know that I prayed for death since I was 12. I retired early in Nov '23 due to brain burn out from a stress filled life. I realized, a few days later, that the weight of my existence lifted. . . The first 12 years of my life were, for the most part, happy. After 11 months of surviving being bullied out of my job, surviving the total lack of care/concern of people I thought were my friends in Jan-Feb-March, losing my dad in April, losing my inheritance as a result of my con artist brother in May, losing my mom in June, realizing that "now I could start living my life" in July, and then losing 3 beloved pets in October. . .Deep Breath. . . I think I will live in peace for at least another 12 years. At least I hope.
@@elizabethfleck6536 you certainly can have some peace now. Not that our day to day is meant to be without challenges. I keep telling my son (and myself), we have to be like water, we need to flow around, over and through obstacles. Let go and flow, it can all be over so quick.
Akela sleeping in is the most precious thing ever. Happy birthday! What a gift to give your future self as you worked and grew over the last 8 years. Some people spend an entire life trying to figure that out.
Awesome to hear about skinny dipping to honour your 30th! Just keep going..... I went into an ice cold river skinny dipping to mark my 70th Birthday, that was two years ago!
I am 64 and I don’t have anyone to adventure with so I do it with ME and my 3 dogs. As much as I enjoy community and socializing, I am so peaceful when I spend time with myself. You have grown into such a well balance young woman. Happy birthday Linnea! I am glad you got to spend it the way you wanted.
Life your life to the fullest. I am 82 and hade many adventures , many are things most people just think about but never experience. At 82 my husband and I still have dreams and doing as many as our health will allow. Tomorrow we pick up our new class B motor home. One the first of Feb. we go off on a 7 day cruise. Don’t let your age stop you. Life flies by much faster than you could imagine.
Happy birthday! My youngest just turned 30 last week. The next day, she headed to her happy place, the Rockies in Colorado. I agree that, in the end, all you have is yourself. You have to be able to take care of yourself and love yourself before you can do so for others. It took me a long time to realize that, but I made sure my girls knew it when they were growing up. Again, happy birthday, and thank you for letting us be a part of it.
Happy birthday, Linnea!!! You hit the nail on the head, Little Sister! I'm 62, and I'm here to tell you that you are a fabulous role model for younger women. ALL women are beautiful... there is no need to even try to 'make yourself more appealing.' Sure, do what makes you feel good... get that cool haircut or whatever. But, all the makeup, clothes, and shoes, are just costuming. Being True to yourself and doing what you want to do will keep you young forever. One of the keys to staying youthful in the body is continuing to exercise. What you do will change over time - when I was in my 20s I was a competitive powerlifter. I don't go near heavy weights anymore. But, that training built a life-long basis of strength. People think I'm in my 40s. I love 'dropping the bomb' that I'm 62. Aunt Lynn wants you to know that you have found 'The Key' to happiness. Much Love.
I panicked and thought the heli was for Noah 😓 Happy birthday to the girl I look up to even though she's younger then me! I hope this year is even more magical than the last! ❤🎂
I'm almost twice your age, and I've never worried about aging (SO FAR). My 30's were incredible. I began my journey to sail the world and mountaineer through the Andes, Chamonix and the Himalayas. I'm happy and excited for you! Even at my age, the 18 year old in me sees my current body age as an imposter. Some would say that's sad, but that young man in me, keeps me engaged in life and always exploring. You've got a great head on your shoulders, Linnea. You're winning at life. Truly.
Happiest of Birthdays, Linnea!! I just celebrated my 61st on October 25th with a 2 week roadtrip up the PCH, 5 National Parks, including Joshua Tree, Redwood and Crater Lake! And, to top it off, I made pumpkin snow cream when it snowed at Crater Lake in Monday!! Best Birthday Gift!!❤🎉
Linnea, thank you. Thank you for sharing your birthday with us and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures. My 30th was squashed by c*vid and health issues. This year I’ll turn 33 and all I’ve wanted to do is be able to travel, go somewhere, do something. I just bought a tiny rv that is perfect for me but needs some work, I just so hope I can be on the road by my birthday. I am also searching for peace and hope I can find the sort of peace you have found. I would love to meet you on the road some day. You are such an inspiration. I truly hope you know that you make such a positive impact on some people’s lives. Thank you a hundred times over for being a beacon, being honest and true to yourself, and sharing your world in such a beautifully artistic way.
I'm an almost 67 years old I want to tell you that I had no negative feelings to turning 30, but I was content then. That didn't last and my world turned upside down. I envy you and how you live and am living vicariously through you as to how I wish my life could've been.
I loved, loved, loved what you had to say about turning 30!! And it DOES get even more incredible getting to grow into who we are in this world. Simplicity. Authenticity. Gratitude!! What an amazing birthday you had!! So glad I found your channel ❤ I'm hooked!!
Hi Linnea, I just subscribed and I'm binging all day on your videos. I know that I'm tardy for wishing you a Happy Birthday! Also Linnea don't listen to the negativity! The fact that you're living your best life is tremendous! I wish for you Love and Peace! 🎉🎊🎂
I cried happy tears when u talked to us about ur 30th birthday. It just put everything into perspective at age 65. I've never been married or had children, I do have to admit I'm craving companionship at this stage in my life. I admire people who Love solitude all the time, but I'm over it & would Love to share my life with someone else & grow old with them. It looks like u had an amazing 30th even with all the setbacks & here's to many more to come...🍻
@@juicie25bt I am similar. But I did have companionship with a husband for about 12 years (16 total). In the end we went our separate ways amicably. Hindsight is always 20/20. . . I was the giver in the relationship and he was the taker. So it was a true blessing that we parted. Now I seek joy with my dogs and the places that we visit. I seek out authentic conversation. . .I just can't do small talk anymore. I never viewed getting older as a blessing...but I didn't mind it either. But after listening to her words at least a half dozen times, I am seeking to embrace her insight. 58 yrs young and still growing on my journey.
Happy Birthday lovely lady. We need more women like you. I am in my 70s and just learning about myself and enjoying my own company. Better late than never. ❤
Jeff and I just started watching your videos. Stay happy do what you love. Your dog is beautiful. You picked a Very Peaceful home stead, Congratulations to you. Stand on your own. You are doing a Great job with your land👍🙋♀️🐕
Linnea ❣ I can not imagine feeling as you do at 30!! Im now 56 and you"ve just discriped, so beautifully, how I feel right now! Frekin well done you for getting there so full of vitality n joy n peace.. absolutely wonder filled! Awesome girl! You go! ❤U & the pup ❤❤
I’m not an avid commenter out here. However your closing comments about going through life alone are so in tune with my thinking that I felt a comment was in order. I share those thoughts and feelings. And would add that having a meaningful long term relationship with someone needs this way of thinking to be affirmed within one’s own mind. Interdependence requires independence in my way of thinking. I’m now a subscriber!
Happy birthday girlie. 🎉 yousure are way ahead of the life learning curve! ❤ I’m 80 and I never dreaded any decade I lived through. Thx for sharing your bliss!
Happy birthday! Thank you for sharing your life with us every week! I look forward to seeing all of you every Sunday. Over the years, you have inspired me to be me and live freely and that is an awesome thing! Can’t wait to see what you will share next week!
Happy Birthday Linnea 🎉 may your special day be so blessed and many more to come. I just turned 56 last month growing old in grace and enjoying it regardless whatever life gives out to me. Doing what i can while can still do it until i can't no more is what i say daily and thank our Lord Jesus Christ that by His grace and mercy im stll here yet to live for Him when i wake up to another new day. Its been a joy watching your video contents whenever im off from work too. Sending lots and lots of love hugs and prayers daily too ❤️🤗🙏❤️🤗🙏❤️🤗🙏
What a wonderful way to spend your 30th birthday in such a gorgeous area! That lake was absolutely the most pretty blue ever! Hope Chris and Noah recovered ok!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love how Chris makes you laugh. And I love that he left you up on that mountain. David would do the same and allow me to enjoy me! Planning my next trip, the day after Christmas I'm going to do an overnight hike. Thanks for the encouragement. Love you girl ❤
Happy Birthday Linnea. I absolutely loved this adventure. As someone who is turning 60 next year, I can tell you from my experience that life gets better with age. As we know, at some point life comes to an end, but it is always an adventure right up to the last breath.
Linnea, you are so wise! To love yourself and know yourself and embrace life the way you do is awesome! You are truly an amazing woman. I wasn’t the slightest bit worried about you staying alone because you and Akela have taken so many solo trips before and you know what you’re doing. How fun that you met a woman and got to skinny dip with her as she experienced a first for herself. She will no doubt remember you forever. I just love your spirit, happy belated birthday to you Lennea!! ❤️🙏😊👏🎂
@@michelleellis8201 Yes!! . . .Linnea was a gift to her in that moment. These are big events in our lives. . .she will always be treasured.💜 Good insight!
Happy Belated Birthday! I Just turned 60. With what you know now you have a path full of adventures to look forward to. I bet you’ll look back in another 30 and marvel again at how much you’ve experienced.
Happy Belated Birthday Linnea! 🌄🎉☕ Thank you for taking us along. Gorgeous, gorgeous scenery and lots of wisdom and playfulness in this video. So much to love and be grateful for. I will watch this video again. 💛
I turn 30 in 6 months and I agree with everything you had to say and I plan on spending my birthday how I want. Out in nature. Thank you for keeping it so real about aging ❤
Happy birthday!! The 30’s are the best. It’s nice to see somebody so young letting go of all the BS about aging. Do I sometimes catch a glimpse of myself and think “who is that old lady in the mirror?” Yes, it happens some days. But I’d never go back to my 20’s or 30’s. We just get better and better as we go. But I did have a lot of good times in my 30’s becoming more myself. Also altitude sickness is no joke! Ugh. I had it in Peru really bad. It’s amazing you got a night alone too.
I am 40 and love watching your videos. I struggle to find joy sometimes, especially after losing my mom. I see the joy you bring to the world despite your own tragic loss. I find that very inspiring. And yes, nature always heals.
Enjoying your videos, just found you recently. I'm older and agree that how you spent that birthday is prefect......for any birthday :) . I did a similar hike recently to the Lake of the Clouds in Colorado. Definitely had some elevation sickness but was still an awesome trip. Hiked up Humboldt Peak on the same trip but couldn't summit :( but still LOVED every second. I'm 65 and still enjoying a full outdoor life but I know my best days are running low. Enjoy every minute of them and never let someone take away any of the awesome enthusiasm you and Chris have. God bless!!
Happy belated 30th Birthday Linnea you're a beautiful young lady, here's to many more years of finding peace and happiness in your life doing what you enjoy ❤
Happy 30th!!!! This was one of my fav videos by far. You have such an amazing outlook on life and the fact that at 30 you are content with yourself and can be ALONE with yourself is so refreshing. Also just wanted to say that you have the best laugh....especially any time you are laughing at Akela....its' so joyful.🐾❤
John Mayer lyric…Turn 68, you’ll renegotiate! Words from his father. I’m 68! My last 3 years have been the worst, but as I’m coming out of it, I’m so much smarter, full of hope and dare say, I wouldn’t have learned that with only easy and happy… You’re just getting started…expect some more terrible, it’s part of life, but keep GOING!!! 🌻Laura
Happy birthday Linnea ,you are an inspiration to me and old beyond your years with your outlook on life.Long may it continue for you and your loved ones . Thankyou for letting us into your life. Christine Wales 🏴 uk ❤🎉
Akela is so gentle. Cobac is an absolute gentleman. Me as a former owner of a German shepherd should say that this breed was cultivated to be a man’s friend in any ways. No self thinking. Love you guys.
I'm about to turn 30 myself, and I just have to say it's so valuable to see other women on social media embracing "aging". 30 isn't "old". AND being old is not an insult nor is it a negative thing. When I was a little girl I always loved adults' laugh lines. Laugh lines felt like a sign of kindness. I hope I can be that kind of adult, who radiates kindness. I don't care how much I radiate "youngness". Thanks for being such a beautiful role model.
Happy birthday in advance. If you read through these comments most of us are facing 60 or beyond. So lol 30 to us is very young. I think society programmed the 30=old thing when sadly the life span back in the olden days was much shorter and the adult phase for full responsibility for survival, evrn having chikdren was as low as 14 to 16. Legit. I have a great grandmother and aunt married at 14. In other words 18 was the old 25-30 now. 18 was peak. People were lucky to live to 40 and just on shear survival for food, water, shelter and in a community that held things together for safety in numbers. It's hard to imagine I know but it's a fact. Anyway enjoy your 30th peak of youth year. ♡
You are such a beautiful role model for women of all ages. Reading through some of the comments I noticed several other women close to my age (58) really resonate with your outlook and your journey. So good to see someone who has found their truth and their peace at such a young age. Like others have said, I wish I had found my true self when I was younger. You are a shining light to other young people especially women that it is possible to jump off the merry go round that society expects/ encourages us to be on. Well done ! 🎉 happy 30th! May you have many more blessed years ❤
First thank you for sharing such a special trip. Second THANK YOU for the perspective on turning 30 I celebrated 30 in September and I have felt off since trying to figure out who I am and why I’m here. Sometimes just letting go and not caring is the best way to discover those things. Happy belated birthday! 🥳
beautiful life... I too am a solo female nomad who thoroughly enjoys my own company, so I completely understand. what a wonderful way to celebrate another year of adventurous living. happy belated birthday.
Love how you and Chris acted as if he was leaving the tv show, so funny. 🎉🎉Happy Belated Birthday! 🎉🎉. I love to hear you speak, so much wisdom. I have learned to be comfortable with just me, in my own company. I have a family, but we work opposite schedules.
What a beautiful way to start Christmas. Thank you Linnea for taking us on your beautiful birthday trip. You have the most wonderful outlook on life. Happy belated birthday wishes. And happy Christmas to you all. 💖🎄🤗xx
I turn 30 in February, and your words made me tear up. I won't lie, your channel & outlook on life have hugely shaped my view on aging in the last few years and have helped me refocus on the joys and privilege of growing older and having the time to slowly and intentionally build a life we can look back on and be proud of. Happy (belated) birthday Linnea, I hope you felt and feel as celebrated and cherished as you are!
Happy 30th! Going to that lake was amazing. Diving in there is an experience for sure. I can’t wait to do something similar. I love how free you’ve become. I hope you don’t mind me bringing this up but I think the grief you went through maybe helped propel you into this life of unknowns, learning and challenges. In 1985 I toured the west, climbed in GNP and lived in a small tent for 6 weeks. I applied for the Montana forest service before going back to my job and girlfriend in Illinois. One day my mom told me they called and wanted to talk to me. I never returned the call. 😢
Happy 30th spin around the sun Linnea ! And the blessings of the day you landed here! My gosh what a beautiful place you chose to celebrate such a beautiful life ! Bravo! Thank you for sharing it with the world! My wish for you is to NEVER waver from your true essence of joy, bliss and peace. And yes my girl, we come into this world what it seems to be alone and at some 'level' we may 'feel' this in our spirit until we fully become aware of our soul. For some this happens quickly and for others it never does. And beyond anything anyone says or buys into, the one thing I feel all agree on is that the 'soul' part is just a tiny piece of something far greater. And it is divine, like the spirit of the mountains and alpine forrests to the desets and tundra you claimed a bit of space on. And maybe as we age, at least in my experience, like an exciting treasure hunt we discover all those little pieces of the soul and soul family. People, animals, creatures, places and even things, especially things we create through sacred geometry or form, crystalline color or light, rhythm harmonics, vibration, etc., and love! Like a grand reunion over and over again of little creator beings who recognize each other on some level and bring the feeling of 'home' to this earth wherever we land. So when we die one begs to ask if we are ever alone at all, and especially from even the start of life, aye? Is this really the grand illusion? Maybe! One piece or reuion probably was the woman you met at the etheric blue lake for just a short while. She recognized you in some way and the clue is the level of trust and the result was freedom from our silly human inhibitions and even sillier judgments of ourselves (and maybe others). Amazing! ~~~ When I heard you speak about being 30 I immediately flashed back to my 30th year. Whatever the deal at the time does not matter but I remember thinking my saving grace was the time I had looking forward, and as we create our own reality in every single moment, that was hope there for me. Like a sculptor molding clay, it was up to me and anything was possible... So that feeling was all that mattered to me even in the darker of times. Now in hindsight facing 60 next March, there could have been nothing more spot on. It's not about circumstances but reactions and more so flow and release. And you seemed to have it nailed girl! Last thing in hindsight, along with being emotionally grounded and in control aka 'healthy' is to feed the body that way always and you said it....move. One foot infront of the another. I hope you dance! Dance in the sun, under the moon, dance in the rain always. Movement keeps the body, mind and spirit fluid and unblocked as the spirit hunts for those pieces of the soul. And then there are no limits are there? to which next color lake will blow your mind into bliss and what love lives there that you will meet. Seriously staying healthy body, mind and spirit in each moment IMHO are really all that matters. A thing no money can buy. No career, job, nor project can create unless it is about health all the way. I wish I knew that at 30. This is my biggest regret. Stupid choices. And the deal also is to have no regrets. Lol, and to make peace with things every step of the way in the moment and release it. Move along.... But.... The spirit joined even with the soul pieces can do just so much especially now in 2024 to keep us clean and clear in the toxic soup overload ~ overlayer all around. These are unique times, indeed. The magick of the spirit (and soul family divine united) is great don't get me wrong but mastery over the body mind is the key and maybe you will reach that, most of us don't. The point is the body really does not have to break down as quickly as we see with aging or disease right now, in this time. Aging from exposure bombarding us even in the airwaves is just insane. We may have to learn new tricks to override this and stay disciplined. There are some cultures hidden deep away where aging people are stronger and faster then at peak age here in the western world atleast. So an 80 year old can kick the ass of the 18 especially in speed and miles. Greg Braden brought the awareness to us in one of his books a few decades back and I was like woe! Aging truly is a state of mind or belief on M. Earth. That is messed up huh! But now rules may have shifted a bit...Who knows. Why we need to turn back to her now for all, ALL nourishment we put into our mouths especially, apply on our skin, breathe in, soround ourselves in, ect. If we don't, we literally toss prescious time in the dust bin now. I see it all around with my friends born in the soup of the 60's. And I saw far less of it in even my parents generation born in the early 1900's where they stayed stronger, fitter, mobil, clearer, and overall healthier about 20 years longer then we x gens are now, over a lifetime not paying full attention to our bodies up to today. That is pretty crazy to witness in real time right now. And everyone has the same stuff. Heart issues a bingo. Blood, bone, muscle, to hormones, you name it. And we are finally 'officially' starting to know why, but most knew all along especially our elders... So, I will try to find you a good cookie recipe based on medicinal shrooms and raw chocolate, 😉 😜 😘 And it's funny you saved the Beef Stroganoff my favorite for your birthday meal, lol. But sadly I can not eat those anymore because I literally get sick. Allot makes me sick now actually. And why I am trying to warn you. Eventually even pretty clean eaters will get too toxic now. It is bizzare. And the results suck. Joke about the recipe, but it is pretty much that serious now sadly. Do everything you can everyday, every meal to always have that freedom to reach the lake Linnea. My second wish for you is robust will and strength for alteast the next 30 years! The third total freedom always. Anyway, sending much love Linnea to you, Akela, Chris who is amazing, your sibs so cool and your Mom omg, who is super, super amazing. I would be building a shrine for being so lucky to be born to her! And she is the biggest piece of souls united with yours, within you, that I see so clearly. I am sure your dad is there too ♡ We can feel him. (((hugs))) 🎉 From, Rose, Nova and our Chris too. Happy Birthday again.....
Very enjoyable watch. Absolutely agree with you about appreciating your age and the aging process, and not wanting to be younger again. Wise words indeed. HB.
A very happy 30th birthday to you and what an awesome day to spend it. Your words are inspirational especially from one so young. Wisdom comes with age and experience and you're already demonstrating that as though you're my age (65 in March)... All I can say is that you're a truly remarkable person and I think that you'd be an excellent teacher or someone who could do public speaking/lectures on whatever topic you chose (just thinking of a side income earner!).. Take care and look after yourself, Mark. PS When are you coming to Australia? It's an awesome spot. I came here 22 years ago for six months from the UK and I'm still here!
Happiest of Birthdays to you Linnea… what a special young lady you are! I’m so happy that you were able to spend your birthday in a place that is as beautiful on the outside as you are inside & out!❤
Your monolog at 25 min in was so spot on ! I was always a vagabond and drifting, still not sure what I want at 59 years old. Traveled all over on my van in the 80 s before the van lifers, sailed half the world to find out what you just summed up. Friends, Family and memories are the gold we should be mining
What an amazing and capable woman you are!! Thank you for showing the world that anything is possible. Happy Birthday beautiful soul ❤ And I laughed at the Alone Reference, love that show too !
Happy birthday, and thank you for sharing a beautiful birthday with us. What a beautiful and peaceful video. And I could almost smell that coffee brewing at the end. ❤
hey..Linnea..first of all happy birthday to you!! this is my very first comment since I've been watching you, anyway I'm a Korean vanlifer and also aiming a off grid life style not just same like lovely you guys but I'm gonna keep trying to do and really respect you guys..because You've influenced me greatly..so what ever you do, where ever you be..I'll be cheering you on all the way! congrats again~🎂☕take care all of you guys(include Akela and Kobac)
Happy happy birthday Linnea. This video was really beautiful - especially your thoughts on aging & what a true blessing and privilege that we get to grow older and smarter and stronger.
Happy birthday sweetheart. I’ll be 60yrs young this year and I’m embracing it with love and peace. It has been ups n downs in my life. Now I’m retired and embracing new phase of my life. You have been an inspiration to me. Special thanks to your beautiful mother for birthing such beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I always look forward to your adventures. ♥️🎂🥳💜
Happy Birthday Linnea!!🎂🎁🎁🎁 When it comes to your skin you have to protect it from skin cancer. I’ve had Malignant Melanoma in my neck with a resultant 7 inch surgical scar and assymetric face post surgery including lymph node removal. I’ve never had any corrective plastic surgery, only neck and face exercises. I had a spot removed on my leg too. It’s not about the wrinkles for me it’s about Malignant Melanoma prevention. Such a beautiful place to hike and camp!! I hope your brother and Chris are feeling better!! I also hope the man who was life flighted is ok. Blessings!!👫🐕🐕💚 PS I hope no one got any ear aches from the cold water!!
your mindset in this video puts into words so much of what I'm experiencing on my own journey and philosophy of life. Thank you all the way from Sweden
I am a stranger to you but I feel so proud of you and your outlook on life. If I had known at 30 that you know now I would have almost no regrets. Thank you for your work because I know at 78 , it is not easy.. Keep happy and always enjoy life.
It brings me so much joy to see that you at 30 have learned what it took me 68 years to learn. You were meant to be in this world at this time.
I get it. I am 66 years young. And all I want now is to live in peace! I am an artist and finally feel comfortable in myself. I am grateful and happy!
I just turned 66 myself!! I am so content and grateful for my single cat lady life!!! Watching Linnea live her authentic life is something I wish I had been able to do when I was late 20s early 30s but at least I got here!!!
I'm 66 Libran, my world is so peaceful, joyous and calm. What a journey it was, 10 yrs ago I wanted to go because he passed. Now I say he'd be so happy I am😊❤
@@mezanian from one Libran to another, happy belated birthday!!!
Same here 😊
I’m also 66. Linnea you are the me I thought I would be, and the me I wish I had been. While I can’t do physically what you do, I’m there in spirit. Just finished a 2 month cross country bucket list road trip. Most of which was solo. Wanted it to be in a van but that didn’t work out. Regardless, I accomplished my goal, dealt with the bumps in the trip and now that I’m home, already thinking about where to go next. Love ya.
I am 71. I notice that many of us are a grandparents age to you. And you bring such peace & joy to us.
This video is so beautiful it made me smile and cry at the same time. I'm now 78 years old and this girl has give me so much joy watching her live out her dreams. Look at the lake she is recording her thoughts with it in the background how beautiful she is celebrating her birthday in this place. What an outlook on life, I wise more young people could see her and get something from her spirit, I know there is so much more of you to come in your path in life I can't wait for you next glimpse into your it, you rock sweetheart.
As someone who has spent a majority of my adult birthdays alone? I agree: being emotionally self sufficient is a very beautiful thing. I love solitude, silence & peace, too.
.....💝
Diddo.... At least we celebrate with someone who is happy for us!!
@@tmcbgrrl0074 No. She is forsaking the shallowness of others, the self obsession of others, and the disregard of others who think their opinion is the 'right way' to live. MOST people do not know how to listen. . . how to truly listen. They are too obsessed with themselves and how others might "see them"/"think of them" to truly hear her words. YOUR "thinking"/"opinion" is a combination of how YOU were raised (brain washed), the influence of the doctrines of YOUR chosen religion (controlled), and the constraints of the society in which you choose to live (peer pressure). She has interacted more authentically with others along her journey than many do in a life time! Or, Perhaps, you have not invested the TIME to watch all of her videos?
Sorry I have another comment: I am laid up today with a migraine and your video was definitely some medicine for me. What you said about how we leave this world alone…and the man experiencing symptoms of a heart attack - had me crying a bit. Almost a year ago, I went to Ecuador for a vision quest. It was 4 days no food, no water, no speaking and no shelter on the mountain. Hardest thing I’ve ever done. But I didn’t know something harder was coming. We had two days at the end back in the house with everybody. The last night a man in our group had a heart attack right in front of the last few of us who were still there. 3 of us worked on him until an ambulance arrived. They did not have any life saving equipment in the ancient ambulance. I went with him to the hospital, he passed while I held his face in my hands. I had only known him for 10 days. I could not understand how this happened without his wife or a family member present. I could not understand how we didn’t save him. He was my age, we were 46. As I felt him leaving, I felt exactly what you said. He was on his own, I couldn’t go with him, I had to release my grip on what I wanted to happen. To save him. To let his final moments be with his wife. It wasn’t to be. Maybe we agreed to this before we were ever born, maybe one day I’ll know. I hope he went gently. I hope your viewers learn to embrace life the way you do Linnea. This is all we get, we have to grab it.
This made me cry😢
💚
Crying. Thank you for sharing. And thank you Linnea for your videos - so well documented and artistically shared!
@@andreaschadeck5596 Your words are powerful. We are on our own. We never know all of the circumstances surrounding others. I tried to be present for others. I tried to help others on their journey. . .and in a few cases I 'know' I did. Isn't that part of our journey? I am not saying it is easy. Based on what I read, you lived purposefully in the moment. That is all we can do.
No one would know that I prayed for death since I was 12. I retired early in Nov '23 due to brain burn out from a stress filled life. I realized, a few days later, that the weight of my existence lifted. . . The first 12 years of my life were, for the most part, happy. After 11 months of surviving being bullied out of my job, surviving the total lack of care/concern of people I thought were my friends in Jan-Feb-March, losing my dad in April, losing my inheritance as a result of my con artist brother in May, losing my mom in June, realizing that "now I could start living my life" in July, and then losing 3 beloved pets in October. . .Deep Breath. . . I think I will live in peace for at least another 12 years. At least I hope.
@@elizabethfleck6536 you certainly can have some peace now. Not that our day to day is meant to be without challenges. I keep telling my son (and myself), we have to be like water, we need to flow around, over and through obstacles. Let go and flow, it can all be over so quick.
☆Happy Birthday Dear Lady! The world needs more individuals just like you! Blessings♡
Akela sleeping in is the most precious thing ever. Happy birthday! What a gift to give your future self as you worked and grew over the last 8 years. Some people spend an entire life trying to figure that out.
I am a 70 year old nomad woman and really love your zest for life. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. God keep you safe.
Awesome to hear about skinny dipping to honour your 30th! Just keep going..... I went into an ice cold river skinny dipping to mark my 70th Birthday, that was two years ago!
BRAVO! We're the same 'ancient of days'..😅
I am 64 and I don’t have anyone to adventure with so I do it with ME and my 3 dogs. As much as I enjoy community and socializing, I am so peaceful when I spend time with myself. You have grown into such a well balance young woman. Happy birthday Linnea! I am glad you got to spend it the way you wanted.
Life your life to the fullest. I am 82 and hade many adventures , many are things most people just think about but never experience. At 82 my husband and I still have dreams and doing as many as our health will allow. Tomorrow we pick up our new class B motor home. One the first of Feb. we go off on a 7 day cruise. Don’t let your age stop you. Life flies by much faster than you could imagine.
I was watching Akela when you said about being alone there, and, she looked gazenly at you for moments as if to say, "No, I'm here with you."
@@BobbieStankowski that made me well up with tears of gratitude. 💜💜💜💜💜 Life is not worth living without a pet. (For me, dogs❤️).
Happy Birthday to a wise woman. It has taken me 65 yrs to love myself. Glad you enjoyed your day 🎉
Thank you! I'm so glad you fell in love.
Happy birthday! My youngest just turned 30 last week. The next day, she headed to her happy place, the Rockies in Colorado. I agree that, in the end, all you have is yourself. You have to be able to take care of yourself and love yourself before you can do so for others. It took me a long time to realize that, but I made sure my girls knew it when they were growing up. Again, happy birthday, and thank you for letting us be a part of it.
AMEN!
Happy birthday, Linnea!!! You hit the nail on the head, Little Sister! I'm 62, and I'm here to tell you that you are a fabulous role model for younger women. ALL women are beautiful... there is no need to even try to 'make yourself more appealing.' Sure, do what makes you feel good... get that cool haircut or whatever. But, all the makeup, clothes, and shoes, are just costuming. Being True to yourself and doing what you want to do will keep you young forever. One of the keys to staying youthful in the body is continuing to exercise. What you do will change over time - when I was in my 20s I was a competitive powerlifter. I don't go near heavy weights anymore. But, that training built a life-long basis of strength. People think I'm in my 40s. I love 'dropping the bomb' that I'm 62. Aunt Lynn wants you to know that you have found 'The Key' to happiness. Much Love.
....🎉 BRAVO!
I panicked and thought the heli was for Noah 😓
Happy birthday to the girl I look up to even though she's younger then me! I hope this year is even more magical than the last! ❤🎂
Hi Tink, I thought the exact same thing!!
Happy Birthday..! And thanks for the inspiration! Another great video..
I'm almost twice your age, and I've never worried about aging (SO FAR). My 30's were incredible. I began my journey to sail the world and mountaineer through the Andes, Chamonix and the Himalayas. I'm happy and excited for you! Even at my age, the 18 year old in me sees my current body age as an imposter. Some would say that's sad, but that young man in me, keeps me engaged in life and always exploring. You've got a great head on your shoulders, Linnea. You're winning at life. Truly.
Thank you for your quiet sweetness... I've so needed it. Happy Birthday dear girl...
Thank you!
Happiest of Birthdays, Linnea!! I just celebrated my 61st on October 25th with a 2 week roadtrip up the PCH, 5 National Parks, including Joshua Tree, Redwood and Crater Lake! And, to top it off, I made pumpkin snow cream when it snowed at Crater Lake in Monday!! Best Birthday Gift!!❤🎉
Great video, I like your attitude towards life. I am 62 years old and single, so being alone in ones skin is what we all have and should cherish.
Linnea, thank you. Thank you for sharing your birthday with us and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures. My 30th was squashed by c*vid and health issues. This year I’ll turn 33 and all I’ve wanted to do is be able to travel, go somewhere, do something. I just bought a tiny rv that is perfect for me but needs some work, I just so hope I can be on the road by my birthday. I am also searching for peace and hope I can find the sort of peace you have found. I would love to meet you on the road some day. You are such an inspiration. I truly hope you know that you make such a positive impact on some people’s lives. Thank you a hundred times over for being a beacon, being honest and true to yourself, and sharing your world in such a beautifully artistic way.
I'm an almost 67 years old I want to tell you that I had no negative feelings to turning 30, but I was content then. That didn't last and my world turned upside down. I envy you and how you live and am living vicariously through you as to how I wish my life could've been.
I'm struggling with those realizations in my own heart as the years unfold..
I loved, loved, loved what you had to say about turning 30!! And it DOES get even more incredible getting to grow into who we are in this world. Simplicity. Authenticity. Gratitude!! What an amazing birthday you had!! So glad I found your channel ❤ I'm hooked!!
What a beautiful perspective you have gained at 30! Happy Birthday Linnea! Keep living your life on your terms and enjoying the journey!
Hi Linnea, I just subscribed and I'm binging all day on your videos. I know that I'm tardy for wishing you a Happy Birthday! Also Linnea don't listen to the negativity! The fact that you're living your best life is tremendous! I wish for you Love and Peace! 🎉🎊🎂
I cried happy tears when u talked to us about ur 30th birthday. It just put everything into perspective at age 65. I've never been married or had children, I do have to admit I'm craving companionship at this stage in my life. I admire people who Love solitude all the time, but I'm over it & would Love to share my life with someone else & grow old with them. It looks like u had an amazing 30th even with all the setbacks & here's to many more to come...🍻
@@juicie25bt I am similar. But I did have companionship with a husband for about 12 years (16 total). In the end we went our separate ways amicably. Hindsight is always 20/20. . . I was the giver in the relationship and he was the taker. So it was a true blessing that we parted. Now I seek joy with my dogs and the places that we visit. I seek out authentic conversation. . .I just can't do small talk anymore. I never viewed getting older as a blessing...but I didn't mind it either. But after listening to her words at least a half dozen times, I am seeking to embrace her insight. 58 yrs young and still growing on my journey.
Happy Birthday lovely lady. We need more women like you. I am in my 70s and just learning about myself and enjoying my own company. Better late than never. ❤
Happy birthday, Linnea!! So glad you gave yourself a beautiful gift! And peace with yourself, as you so rightly stated, is the best gift ever! 🎉🎈🎂🎈🎉💕
Jeff and I just started watching your videos. Stay happy do what you love. Your dog is beautiful. You picked a Very Peaceful home stead, Congratulations to you. Stand on your own. You are doing a Great job with your land👍🙋♀️🐕
Linnea ❣ I can not imagine feeling as you do at 30!! Im now 56 and you"ve just discriped, so beautifully, how I feel right now! Frekin well done you for getting there so full of vitality n joy n peace.. absolutely wonder filled! Awesome girl! You go! ❤U & the pup ❤❤
I second this! Shes so inspiring!
you are an amazing person, I love watching you and Akela. I admire your strengths and your love of life, thank you for all the shared adventures.
I’m not an avid commenter out here. However your closing comments about going through life alone are so in tune with my thinking that I felt a comment was in order. I share those thoughts and feelings. And would add that having a meaningful long term relationship with someone needs this way of thinking to be affirmed within one’s own mind. Interdependence requires independence in my way of thinking. I’m now a subscriber!
Happy birthday girlie. 🎉 yousure are way ahead of the life learning curve! ❤ I’m 80 and I never dreaded any decade I lived through. Thx for sharing your bliss!
Happy birthday! Thank you for sharing your life with us every week! I look forward to seeing all of you every Sunday. Over the years, you have inspired me to be me and live freely and that is an awesome thing! Can’t wait to see what you will share next week!
Happy Birthday Linnea 🎉 may your special day be so blessed and many more to come. I just turned 56 last month growing old in grace and enjoying it regardless whatever life gives out to me. Doing what i can while can still do it until i can't no more is what i say daily and thank our Lord Jesus Christ that by His grace and mercy im stll here yet to live for Him when i wake up to another new day. Its been a joy watching your video contents whenever im off from work too. Sending lots and lots of love hugs and prayers daily too ❤️🤗🙏❤️🤗🙏❤️🤗🙏
What a wonderful way to spend your 30th birthday in such a gorgeous area! That lake was absolutely the most pretty blue ever! Hope Chris and Noah recovered ok!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love how Chris makes you laugh. And I love that he left you up on that mountain. David would do the same and allow me to enjoy me! Planning my next trip, the day after Christmas I'm going to do an overnight hike. Thanks for the encouragement. Love you girl ❤
Happy Birthday Linnea. I absolutely loved this adventure. As someone who is turning 60 next year, I can tell you from my experience that life gets better with age. As we know, at some point life comes to an end, but it is always an adventure right up to the last breath.
A kindred spirit to many, and a love and kindness I admire so deeply. what a wonderful human!! All the love, A fellow free spirit
Linnea, you are so wise! To love yourself and know yourself and embrace life the way you do is awesome! You are truly an amazing woman. I wasn’t the slightest bit worried about you staying alone because you and Akela have taken so many solo trips before and you know what you’re doing. How fun that you met a woman and got to skinny dip with her as she experienced a first for herself. She will no doubt remember you forever. I just love your spirit, happy belated birthday to you Lennea!! ❤️🙏😊👏🎂
@@michelleellis8201 Yes!! . . .Linnea was a gift to her in that moment. These are big events in our lives. . .she will always be treasured.💜 Good insight!
Happy Belated Birthday!
I Just turned 60.
With what you know now you have a path full of adventures to look forward to.
I bet you’ll look back in another 30 and marvel again at how much you’ve experienced.
Happy Belated Birthday Linnea! 🌄🎉☕
Thank you for taking us along. Gorgeous, gorgeous scenery and lots of wisdom and playfulness in this video. So much to love and be grateful for. I will watch this video again. 💛
I turn 30 in 6 months and I agree with everything you had to say and I plan on spending my birthday how I want. Out in nature. Thank you for keeping it so real about aging ❤
Happy birthday!! The 30’s are the best. It’s nice to see somebody so young letting go of all the BS about aging. Do I sometimes catch a glimpse of myself and think “who is that old lady in the mirror?” Yes, it happens some days. But I’d never go back to my 20’s or 30’s. We just get better and better as we go. But I did have a lot of good times in my 30’s becoming more myself.
Also altitude sickness is no joke! Ugh. I had it in Peru really bad. It’s amazing you got a night alone too.
I am 40 and love watching your videos. I struggle to find joy sometimes, especially after losing my mom. I see the joy you bring to the world despite your own tragic loss. I find that very inspiring. And yes, nature always heals.
Happy birthday, Linnea! Your videos are an absolute delight. Thank you so much for taking us along on your adventures. Now I want some Jiffy Pop!
@@Allie_oops I giggled as well. I am 58 and I didn't even know that they still had it!! But I am easily 14 years out of touch.🤣
Happy Birthday Linnea!! You are living your BEST life. I enjoy watching ALL your videos.
Thank you!
Such a cute sleepin' doggo. Happy birthday! Aging is not so bad, the alternative is way worse. ❤
I agree fully :) ANd thank you!
Enjoying your videos, just found you recently. I'm older and agree that how you spent that birthday is prefect......for any birthday :) . I did a similar hike recently to the Lake of the Clouds in Colorado. Definitely had some elevation sickness but was still an awesome trip. Hiked up Humboldt Peak on the same trip but couldn't summit :( but still LOVED every second. I'm 65 and still enjoying a full outdoor life but I know my best days are running low. Enjoy every minute of them and never let someone take away any of the awesome enthusiasm you and Chris have. God bless!!
Happy belated 30th Birthday Linnea you're a beautiful young lady, here's to many more years of finding peace and happiness in your life doing what you enjoy ❤
Happy 30th!!!! This was one of my fav videos by far. You have such an amazing outlook on life and the fact that at 30 you are content with yourself and can be ALONE with yourself is so refreshing. Also just wanted to say that you have the best laugh....especially any time you are laughing at Akela....its' so joyful.🐾❤
that put a smile on a old mans heart, 71 is GREAT, wisdom come with experience and TIME......
Linnea! happy birthday!! your joy is so infectious...you are a beautiful healthy soul. so happy to meet you thru your videos...
John Mayer lyric…Turn 68, you’ll renegotiate! Words from his father.
I’m 68!
My last 3 years have been the worst, but as I’m coming out of it, I’m so much smarter, full of hope and dare say, I wouldn’t have learned that with only easy and happy…
You’re just getting started…expect some more terrible, it’s part of life, but keep GOING!!!
🌻Laura
You are a remarkable young lady
Thank you for sharing bits of your life
Happy Birthday Linnea!! What a beautiful way to welcome the thirty's in!!!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday, spending time in such a gorgeous place with your loved ones
Thank you!
Happy Birthday beautiful soul!!!
Wow, wow, wow! The lake you guys & dogs hiked to was breath taken, blue.
Wonderful perspectives…especially on aging peacefully.
Happy birthday Linnea ,you are an inspiration to me and old beyond your years with your outlook on life.Long may it continue for you and your loved ones .
Thankyou for letting us into your life.

Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 to you beautiful Linnea.. thank you so much for all you do and share with all of us. Much love and respect darlin.. ❤❤❤
You have such a great philosophy on life and the best attitude so glad to have found your videos. Love the puppys! Can’t wait to watch more. ❤
Akela is so gentle. Cobac is an absolute gentleman. Me as a former owner of a German shepherd should say that this breed was cultivated to be a man’s friend in any ways. No self thinking. Love you guys.
Happy Birthday!!! Your such a beautiful soul!!! And I love all your videos 🎉🎉🎉
I'm about to turn 30 myself, and I just have to say it's so valuable to see other women on social media embracing "aging". 30 isn't "old". AND being old is not an insult nor is it a negative thing. When I was a little girl I always loved adults' laugh lines. Laugh lines felt like a sign of kindness. I hope I can be that kind of adult, who radiates kindness. I don't care how much I radiate "youngness". Thanks for being such a beautiful role model.
Happy birthday in advance. If you read through these comments most of us are facing 60 or beyond.
So lol 30 to us is very young.
I think society programmed the 30=old thing when sadly the life span back in the olden days was much shorter and the adult phase for full responsibility for survival, evrn having chikdren was as low as 14 to 16.
Legit.
I have a great grandmother and aunt married at 14.
In other words 18 was the old 25-30 now.
18 was peak.
People were lucky to live to 40 and just on shear survival for food, water, shelter and in a community that held things together for safety in numbers.
It's hard to imagine I know but it's a fact.
Anyway enjoy your 30th peak of youth year. ♡
You are such a beautiful role model for women of all ages. Reading through some of the comments I noticed several other women close to my age (58) really resonate with your outlook and your journey.
So good to see someone who has found their truth and their peace at such a young age.
Like others have said, I wish I had found my true self when I was younger. You are a shining light to other young people especially women that it is possible to jump off the merry go round that society expects/ encourages us to be on. Well done ! 🎉 happy 30th! May you have many more blessed years ❤
Growing older gracefully at 61, only where makeup when needed, all natural is the way to go😊❤
Fully agree! :) Go you!
First thank you for sharing such a special trip. Second THANK YOU for the perspective on turning 30 I celebrated 30 in September and I have felt off since trying to figure out who I am and why I’m here. Sometimes just letting go and not caring is the best way to discover those things. Happy belated birthday! 🥳
beautiful life... I too am a solo female nomad who thoroughly enjoys my own company, so I completely understand. what a wonderful way to celebrate another year of adventurous living. happy belated birthday.
Love how you and Chris acted as if he was leaving the tv show, so funny. 🎉🎉Happy Belated Birthday! 🎉🎉. I love to hear you speak, so much wisdom. I have learned to be comfortable with just me, in my own company. I have a family, but we work opposite schedules.
What a beautiful way to start Christmas. Thank you Linnea for taking us on your beautiful birthday trip. You have the most wonderful outlook on life. Happy belated birthday wishes. And happy Christmas to you all. 💖🎄🤗xx
I turn 30 in February, and your words made me tear up. I won't lie, your channel & outlook on life have hugely shaped my view on aging in the last few years and have helped me refocus on the joys and privilege of growing older and having the time to slowly and intentionally build a life we can look back on and be proud of. Happy (belated) birthday Linnea, I hope you felt and feel as celebrated and cherished as you are!
Thanks! Always remember
God loves you,
I love you,
Don’t worry,
Be Happy 😃🥰🎉
@barrylynn2523, nice 😊. Blessings from my countryside channe! And Eastern Europe!!
Thank you so much, Barry Lynn! I really appreciate your generosity and support!
Happy 30th! Going to that lake was amazing. Diving in there is an experience for sure. I can’t wait to do something similar. I love how free you’ve become. I hope you don’t mind me bringing this up but I think the grief you went through maybe helped propel you into this life of unknowns, learning and challenges.
In 1985 I toured the west, climbed in GNP and lived in a small tent for 6 weeks. I applied for the Montana forest service before going back to my job and girlfriend in Illinois. One day my mom told me they called and wanted to talk to me.
I never returned the call. 😢
Happy 30th spin around the sun Linnea ! And the blessings of the day you landed here!
My gosh what a beautiful place you chose to celebrate such a beautiful life ! Bravo!
Thank you for sharing it with the world!
My wish for you is to NEVER waver from your true essence of joy, bliss and peace.
And yes my girl, we come into this world what it seems to be alone and at some 'level' we may 'feel' this in our spirit until we fully become aware of our soul. For some this happens quickly and for others it never does.
And beyond anything anyone says or buys into, the one thing I feel all agree on is that the 'soul' part is just a tiny piece of something far greater. And it is divine, like the spirit of the mountains and alpine forrests to the desets and tundra you claimed a bit of space on. And maybe as we age, at least in my experience, like an exciting treasure hunt we discover all those little pieces of the soul and soul family. People, animals, creatures, places and even things, especially things we create through sacred geometry or form, crystalline color or light, rhythm harmonics, vibration, etc., and love! Like a grand reunion over and over again of little creator beings who recognize each other on some level and bring the feeling of 'home' to this earth wherever we land.
So when we die one begs to ask if we are ever alone at all, and especially from even the start of life, aye?
Is this really the grand illusion? Maybe!
One piece or reuion probably was the woman you met at the etheric blue lake for just a short while. She recognized you in some way and the clue is the level of trust and the result was freedom from our silly human inhibitions and even sillier judgments of ourselves (and maybe others). Amazing!
~~~
When I heard you speak about being 30 I immediately flashed back to my 30th year. Whatever the deal at the time does not matter but I remember thinking my saving grace was the time I had looking forward, and as we create our own reality in every single moment, that was hope there for me. Like a sculptor molding clay, it was up to me and anything was possible... So that feeling was all that mattered to me even in the darker of times. Now in hindsight facing 60 next March, there could have been nothing more spot on. It's not about circumstances but reactions and more so flow and release. And you seemed to have it nailed girl!
Last thing in hindsight, along with being emotionally grounded and in control aka 'healthy' is to feed the body that way always and you said it....move. One foot infront of the another. I hope you dance! Dance in the sun, under the moon, dance in the rain always.
Movement keeps the body, mind and spirit fluid and unblocked as the spirit hunts for those pieces of the soul. And then there are no limits are there? to which next color lake will blow your mind into bliss and what love lives there that you will meet.
Seriously staying healthy body, mind and spirit in each moment IMHO are really all that matters. A thing no money can buy. No career, job, nor project can create unless it is about health all the way.
I wish I knew that at 30.
This is my biggest regret. Stupid choices.
And the deal also is to have no regrets. Lol, and to make peace with things every step of the way in the moment and release it. Move along....
But....
The spirit joined even with the soul pieces can do just so much especially now in 2024 to keep us clean and clear in the toxic soup overload ~ overlayer all around. These are unique times, indeed. The magick of the spirit (and soul family divine united) is great don't get me wrong but mastery over the body mind is the key and maybe you will reach that, most of us don't. The point is the body really does not have to break down as quickly as we see with aging or disease right now, in this time. Aging from exposure bombarding us even in the airwaves is just insane.
We may have to learn new tricks to override this and stay disciplined.
There are some cultures hidden deep away where aging people are stronger and faster then at peak age here in the western world atleast. So an 80 year old can kick the ass of the 18 especially in speed and miles. Greg Braden brought the awareness to us in one of his books a few decades back and I was like woe! Aging truly is a state of mind or belief on M. Earth. That is messed up huh!
But now rules may have shifted a bit...Who knows. Why we need to turn back to her now for all, ALL nourishment we put into our mouths especially, apply on our skin, breathe in, soround ourselves in, ect.
If we don't, we literally toss prescious time in the dust bin now. I see it all around with my friends born in the soup of the 60's. And I saw far less of it in even my parents generation born in the early 1900's where they stayed stronger, fitter, mobil, clearer, and overall healthier about 20 years longer then we x gens are now, over a lifetime not paying full attention to our bodies up to today. That is pretty crazy to witness in real time right now. And everyone has the same stuff. Heart issues a bingo. Blood, bone, muscle, to hormones, you name it. And we are finally 'officially' starting to know why, but most knew all along especially our elders...
So,
I will try to find you a good cookie recipe based on medicinal shrooms and raw chocolate, 😉 😜 😘
And it's funny you saved the Beef Stroganoff my favorite for your birthday meal, lol. But sadly I can not eat those anymore because I literally get sick. Allot makes me sick now actually. And why I am trying to warn you. Eventually even pretty clean eaters will get too toxic now. It is bizzare. And the results suck.
Joke about the recipe, but it is pretty much that serious now sadly.
Do everything you can everyday, every meal to always have that freedom to reach the lake Linnea.
My second wish for you is robust will and strength for alteast the next 30 years!
The third total freedom always.
Anyway, sending much love Linnea to you, Akela, Chris who is amazing, your sibs so cool and your Mom omg, who is super, super amazing.
I would be building a shrine for being so lucky to be born to her!
And she is the biggest piece of souls united with yours, within you, that I see so clearly.
I am sure your dad is there too ♡ We can feel him.
(((hugs))) 🎉
From,
Rose, Nova
and our Chris too.
Happy Birthday again.....
Hey all. I completely support you taking care of yourselves in all the ways that feel right. Well done💛💛💛
I appreciate that, thank you
Very enjoyable watch. Absolutely agree with you about appreciating your age and the aging process, and not wanting to be younger again. Wise words indeed. HB.
A very happy 30th birthday to you and what an awesome day to spend it. Your words are inspirational especially from one so young. Wisdom comes with age and experience and you're already demonstrating that as though you're my age (65 in March)... All I can say is that you're a truly remarkable person and I think that you'd be an excellent teacher or someone who could do public speaking/lectures on whatever topic you chose (just thinking of a side income earner!).. Take care and look after yourself, Mark. PS When are you coming to Australia? It's an awesome spot. I came here 22 years ago for six months from the UK and I'm still here!
This is my favourite video of yours. Thank you for the time and effort that you gave to this video, and to all that you shared. ❤️🇨🇦
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Happy Birthday, so glad you are going on feelings and not numbers....
Happiness surrounds you and it shows.
Happiest of Birthdays to you Linnea… what a special young lady you are! I’m so happy that you were able to spend your birthday in a place that is as beautiful on the outside as you are inside & out!❤
Happy 30th Birthday! 🎉 I am so proud of you and your outlook on life! Thank you for this beautiful video! ❤

Aw thank you so much for your generosity and support! It means a lot to me. :)
That was a little scary🚁, a little exciting, a lot of fun, very beautiful and as always insightful 😍 Belated Happy Birthday Linnea!☕📙😘❤❤🐾❤🐾❤
Your monolog at 25 min in was so spot on ! I was always a vagabond and drifting, still not sure what I want at 59 years old. Traveled all over on my van in the 80 s before the van lifers, sailed half the world to find out what you just summed up. Friends, Family and memories are the gold we should be mining
What an amazing and capable woman you are!! Thank you for showing the world that anything is possible. Happy Birthday beautiful soul ❤
And I laughed at the Alone Reference, love that show too !
You are where you are meant to be in your journey. HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY❕️
You are an amazing young woman.

Happy happy birthday Linnea. This video was really beautiful - especially your thoughts on aging & what a true blessing and privilege that we get to grow older and smarter and stronger.
Happy birthday sweetheart.
I’ll be 60yrs young this year and I’m embracing it with love and peace. It has been ups n downs in my life. Now I’m retired and embracing new phase of my life. You have been an inspiration to me.
Special thanks to your beautiful mother for birthing such beautiful soul.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I always look forward to your adventures.
♥️🎂🥳💜
Happy Birthday Linnea!!🎂🎁🎁🎁
When it comes to your skin you have to protect it from skin cancer. I’ve had Malignant Melanoma in my neck with a resultant 7 inch surgical scar and assymetric face post surgery including lymph node removal. I’ve never had any corrective plastic surgery, only neck and face exercises. I had a spot removed on my leg too. It’s not about the wrinkles for me it’s about Malignant Melanoma prevention.
Such a beautiful place to hike and camp!! I hope your brother and Chris are feeling better!! I also hope the man who was life flighted is ok.
Blessings!!👫🐕🐕💚
PS I hope no one got any ear aches from the cold water!!
One of the best vids I've seen on here for ages. Thank you so much for filming your experiences - you are also adorable ❤
your mindset in this video puts into words so much of what I'm experiencing on my own journey and philosophy of life.
Thank you all the way from Sweden
I am a stranger to you but I feel so proud of you and your outlook on life. If I had known at 30 that you know now I would have almost no regrets. Thank you for your work because I know at 78 , it is not easy.. Keep happy and always enjoy life.
Happy birthday Linnea! What a beautiful spirit you have. 🎂🎉💜
Thank you! 💜
Happiest of birthdays Linnea! You’re a very wise old soul! I gotta say this video and all the comments have me doing some deep contemplation! ❤
Happy Birthday! What amazing wisdom and self-realization you have for so young!
