Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

My friend mother who is a Chinese ,66 years old, staying in Hamilton now. I told her that people here are like angel in the world. They are very kind people and wish she could find a true local man who can treat her with love that can help her experience a different life.

She was shy first and think it cannot become true.
I told her you would never know if you don’t try.

Thus, does anyone can tell me how to have help her find a man who is also looking for a women to love and take care of each other in the future such as website or community activities, that we can know how to know others.
