A place to stand

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

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. … View more
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

Will your vote be vastly different this year?

Hi neighbours,
I posted about a little ginger cat we had seen and we put food out to see if we could identify it. Unfortunately it seems it has attracted a bully to the property and it comes inside , eats our cats food , sprays everywhere and - the worst is it beats our cat up pretty badly. He’s had to go to the vet twice so far and one of those times he needed surgery. It looks like he needs another trip and we’ve kind of got to the end of the rope. Has anyone got any ideas about how to get rid of this intruder?
