A place to stand
Hi Neighbours, recently my brother's ashes were laid to rest at the place we grew up down south.
It made me think about the word in Te Reo - Tūrangawaewae, which refers to places where we feel especially connected, our foundation, our home. It gives us a sense of identity and belonging. People who are lucky enough to have that actually have better mental health.
Its Maori Language week and I wanted to write about this lovely word.
I hope you all can find some sense of a place to stand, and some sort of connection.
Living here in Auckland now, I find connection through the work I do, and I love bringing groups together to experience a sense of belonging. Our next group is Tue Oct 3 at 1pm.
Kind wishes, Eve

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
