Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has delayed the 2020 election by a month, with the new polling day set for October 17.
Ardern has been under increasing pressure to delay the election, previously set for September 19, after Auckland was placed in a two-week lockdown due to an outbreak of Covid-19 in the community, leading to a halt in most political campaigning.

Have you heard the news? Auckland will remain in level 3, while the rest of the country will remain at level 2 until midnight Wednesday, August 26 – an additional 12 days.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the approach is “short, but precautionary”. Extending the restrictions for an additional 12 days is the same length of the virus’ incubation period, director-general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said.

What a beautiful weekend we’ve had to enjoy!
Well… it goes without saying (a phrase that makes me smile as it often precedes what’s going to be said anyway!) that Harmony Circle gatherings certainly won’t be happening whilst at Level 3.

Well… it goes without saying (a phrase that makes me smile as it often precedes what’s going to be said anyway!) that Harmony Circle gatherings certainly won’t be happening whilst at Level 3. Therefore, consider all the wonderful stuff that was planned over the next couple of weeks to be on hold for now (to still be done at a time when we can though!).
It will all be reassessed once we know what's happening from the 26th August onward.
In the meantime, we’ll keep everyone updated either via the bi-weekly newsletter or updated emails.
Not on the email list but would like to be kept in the loop? Get in touch via email or text (see the end of the post) and we can add you to it.
A thought…
No matter your views on this time now, it still is.
We have a choice in every single given moment on how we think and what we do.
The only question to be asked is - Is what I'm doing/feeling right now making me feel good about/within myself?
If the answer isn’t yes, and quite understandably for many in these times is may not be, then please try and focus, if only for a moment, on something that does make you feel good, or makes you smile….. even if for the briefest of moments.
Stress, worry and anxiety have a huge impact on our well-being, stay mindful of keeping that balanced with some good stuff too.
Hugs to to you all 💜💜💜
