Is spontaneity your MO?
Is Spontaneity your MO?
Spontaneity has been my MO in life, it makes for much fun, so starting a commercial business to merge the mobile into a clinic spontaneously seemed like a gem of an idea
But unfortunately, I ended up signing a commercial lease 18 days before the first lockdown in 2020! When at the time I had a successful Mobile Massage Business with almost no overheads. I remember thinking to myself "What can possibly go wrong?"
The story between 2020 and 2024 is vast. Let's say I survived - but barely.
But what I learned = is something like that line in the film The Hurricane - when Lesra, the young hero in the film - who found Rubin Carter's Book The Hurricane (in a bargain bin in a book store) said: "I didn't find the book, the book found me".
- I think that I got the business, but the business got me - its molded me into what I think is a better person with better values especially and although it's given me immense challenges with so many wins and losses. The Main lesson was choosing to battle through and not give up.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Dental Implants
A successful Dental Implant Placed by Dr Martin J Cribbin at CM Dental ltd in Henderson, replacing a lower left molar which had fractured and could not be root filled.
Where there is sufficient bone the dental implant can offer a better solution than bridge work as there is no damage to the teeth adjacent by cutting them down to create space for the bridgework.
