The Waterfront on Tamaki Drive is a gorgeous and popular place to go for a walk. Stunning views across the harbour, Pohutukawa trees providing as much beauty as shade, a fresh sea breeze. As I head into work on the early morning commute I can’t help but envy those out taking advantage of our clear… Continue reading Rhythms of Grace

I ate rattlesnake for dinner…
I had rattlesnake for dinner the other night. Rattlesnake and cactus "fries" to be exact. I was as brave and daring as Bear Grylls. True, mine was served on a dinner plate in a restaurant and I hadn't had to kill the thing or eat it raw. It came fried and properly cooked. I was… Continue reading I ate rattlesnake for dinner…
Treasure in a Suitcase
My parents have always been ones to travel. I can still remember the excitement I had when I was a child when they would return home knowing that there would be gifts inside their suitcases. The anticipation of knowing that little treasures would have been tucked away in them ready to be given on their return. Souvenirs of the… Continue reading Treasure in a Suitcase

Remember.
A gathering. Laughter. Life. Love. Fluffy and light scones, jam and cream, tea - yes Devonshire tea. Daughters and Granddaughters together to remember a Mother, a grandmother. Much loved. Much missed. She would have loved it. Not just for the tea in the fine bone china cups but for the connection, the conversation, the sense… Continue reading Remember.
Mathematics of Life
I'm no mathematician - it certainly wasn't my favourite subject at school! But I have learnt that we can apply the principles of mathematics to life. I always knew that algebra would come in handy! For as in any maths equation where balance, equal sides to an equation is required, the same is needed in life. So it's… Continue reading Mathematics of Life
Good Mum, Bad Mum…
Remember the "He loves me, He loves me not" game with a daisy that you'd do? Pulling a petal off one by one to see if it ended with "He loves' me or "He loves me not." It struck me today that it's something we can also play with our lives. Maybe it's the "Good mum,… Continue reading Good Mum, Bad Mum…
The Christmas Bucket
Yes I know, Christmas is long gone and everyone's Christmas trees are packed away (I hope!). In saying that, I did buy a Christmas Decoration today, and come to think of it last week as well! Too early to be talking about Christmas 2015?! But actually it is Christmas 2014 that I want to revisit. You… Continue reading The Christmas Bucket
The Equilibrium of Life
Equilibrium – a state in which opposing forces of influences are balanced. In economics, physics and chemistry the term equilibrium is used to define balance – a system in which competing influences are balanced. Whether it be supply and demand in economics or the net force in physics. Equilibrium is a fancy world for balance. That mid-point… Continue reading The Equilibrium of Life
