You Are Beautiful

Marie from Flaxmere

Let go of the idea of perfection - you are not perfect, you are real. Let yourself be flawed, and allow yourself to make mistakes. Recognize that you're not always going to have it all together. Sometimes your heart is going to break, you are going to get hurt, you are going to feel pain. … View moreLet go of the idea of perfection - you are not perfect, you are real. Let yourself be flawed, and allow yourself to make mistakes. Recognize that you're not always going to have it all together. Sometimes your heart is going to break, you are going to get hurt, you are going to feel pain. Don't

apologize for being broken – every time you break you

become a little more alive. You become more open with

yourself. You become exposed to your sensibility. Every crack tells you a little more about yourself - your strength, your courage, your tenacity – what you're made of. Do not hide these pieces from the world, they are a part of who you are. You see, the most beautiful people are beautifully broken. Their hearts are heavy but they love the deepest.

They have seen the dark but they appreciate everything that shines. They're compassionate, understanding, and empathetic. Beautiful hearts just don't happen - and you my dear are going to show the world just how beautiful you are💜💕💜

Happy Easter Neighbourly People

Marie from Flaxmere

Friendship is a priceless gift
That cannot be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
Than a mountain made of gold
For gold is cold and lifeless,
It can neither see nor hear,
And in the time of trouble
It is powerless to cheer… View more
Friendship is a priceless gift
That cannot be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
Than a mountain made of gold
For gold is cold and lifeless,
It can neither see nor hear,
And in the time of trouble
It is powerless to cheer
It has no ears to listen,
No heart to understand,
It cannot bring you comfort
Or reach out a helping hand
So when you ask God for a Gift,
Be thankful if He sends
Nor diamonds, pearls or riches,
But the love of real and true friends!
🐰🐰Happy Easter to All You Lovely Neighbourly People🐰🐰

Recreate a classic game in an unconventional format using Resene testpots to paint your own dominoes. Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.

Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.

Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Find out how to create your own rock domino set.

We know some of you are facing threatening and potentially harmful times at home right now. Police will be there for you if you call us.

If you are in immediate danger and can’t call 111, leave your house and get out of harm’s way. Get to a safe distance and then ask a neighbour over a fence, or a passer-by, to call 111 for you. Your safety comes first.

It’s everybody’s responsibility to speak out and keep each other safe right now. If you think something is not ok with a friend, neighbour, or colleague, it’s okay to call Police on their behalf. The person you’re worried about may not be able to speak up for themselves. You could be saving a life.
