Relationship Red Flags Workshop
Are you tired of feeling that your relationship isn't fulfilling your needs in a healthy way?
- Do you question boundaries?
- Their actions don't align with their word
- You don't feel safe to share what you feel
- You feel empty around them
- You don't feel they listen to you
- There is never a 'middle ground'
- You more often than not, feel uncomfortable around them
- Your gut instinct tells you to stay alert when certain subjects are touched on
- You apologise even if you have done nothing wrong
- You feel as though you "walk on eggshells" around them.
Narcissistic relationships can be devastating BUT with the right perspective you can 'change' your story and rebuild self-esteem, confidence, and new boundaries.
Sign-up to this popular workshop today.
Hosted by Lizzie Nicholson & Corrie Chambers
Tuesday July 29th: 11-1pm
Nelson Women's Centre
$10 per person

Keen to see a fluffy royal albatross live? Head to the Royal Cam - a 24-hour live stream of an albatross nest.
Why the live feed? Well, the royal albatross are slow-breeding birds, and lay only one egg every two years.
Currently the chick in the feed is in its post-guard period, and is left alone. The parents are only returning with food every few days. This little chick will be hitting a milestone really soon - it will finally take their first flight in September! Keep an eye on our little celebrity here.
We hope this link brings a smile!

We are wanting to extend our blueberry framing. What we have at present is an old 3 seater outdoor swing frame; the seat itself was beyond repair but the frame wasn't rusty so with netting it makes a good anti bird device.

What we have at present is an old 3 seater outdoor swing frame; the seat itself was beyond repair but the frame wasn't rusty so with netting it makes a good anti bird device. Hubby has discovered that the bushes produce well if the birds don't get to them first so we would like to duplicate that if someone has a seating arrangement they don't want any more? Many thanks

No room in my new house unfortunately so it has to go.
There is some water staining on the table top ( left a wet clothes basket it on the table for a day when I had to dash off in an emergency ) and two dents around the bottom perimeter which are not easily noticeable, Apart from that, it's all in very reasonable nick.

A scary word that can make people uneasy—and for good reason. According to The Post, more than a third of New Zealand’s public services have recently faced it.
But why is restructuring the go-to strategy for driving change?
In The Post’s article 'Reaching for change: Is our public service obsessed with restructuring?', doctoral candidate Annika Naschitzki from Victoria University is trying to understand repetitive restructuring.
New Zealand’s public service is often seen as risk-averse, slow-moving, and stuck. But interviewed staff indicate that they want change, that change is needed ... just not through restructuring.
Naschitzki doesn’t mince words: “We always have the same issues, but we keep trying to fix the same problem with the same hammer we've been using for decades.”
Are we leaning too heavily on structural change when real transformation might lie elsewhere? Perhaps through training, resourcing, tools, and practice, as Naschitzki suggests.
What do you think?
Is restructuring the right tool for meaningful change, or just a habit we can’t seem to break?
If you are wary of restructuring, how can we do better?
