Keeping the community spirit positive people 🙂

Andrea from Morningside

Here’s a quick test to determine your stress level. Read the following description completely before looking at the picture linked below.

The picture was used in a case study on stress levels at St. Mary’s Hospital. Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are essentially identical. A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are so similar, a person under stress would find many differences between the two dolphins. The more differences a person finds between the dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing.

Look at the image and, if you find more than one or two differences, you may want to enjoy a really relaxing holiday…

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
