Happy New Year 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣🥳🥳🥳🥳
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & New Year.
We had time in Southland with my partner's Mum where we enjoyed good food, wine, company, dog walks on the beautiful Estuary Boardwalk & relaxation.
We then drove up to Bannockburn where I caught up with my family for Christmas & my partner hung out with more of her family & shared some special time sprinkling her recently passed Stepdad's ashes.
We both enjoyed a night on my brother's vineyard (check it out here www.calvertvineyard.co.nz...) in 5 star airbnb accomodation - great company, wine & food. After a lovely lunch we drove back to Dunedin & enjoyed further relaxing, sunny days reading in the garden.
Our level of inquiry for new opportunities has increased markedly as the effects of the recent lockdown become more apparent impacting traditional businesses & jobs alike. We feel so grateful to be running our online business from home. In times of crisis / great change Personal Development & Success Mindset Coaching becomes more sought after. It has been our delight to be here offering something else to those that find themselves out of income.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
