I have just set up a property for a friend and she pointed out that she would have spent weeks learning what I sorted for her in two days.
We are getting a huge influx of visitors in the Wairarapa and they all need a place to sleep!

Step up and Seek out Solutions!

Take time to make time, to be in this moment of time.

Continue to be open and active to developing yourself.

Practice consciously being healthy, balanced,

mentally, emotionally and physically. It is a constant.

Accept the fact that some days you're the magpie -- or the New Zealand pigeon (the kereru) or a Kiwi! and some days you're the statue!

Smile, because some mistakes are too good to only make once.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on detours.

Take regular breaks from every day, no matter how important that day is!

Remember, nothing is permanent, it’s all temporary, neither will last, both thegood and the not-so-good times.

But reach out when you need a hand... or be the one to give it. ..either way its an action towards stepping up, and seeking a solution.
