Kia Ora !
I’m a volunteer with a humanitarian aid group based in Auckland (www.onenessheart.org... ) and one of our colleagues, an ICU nurse working in the Emergency Rooms in a hospital in Queens, NY, recently proposed sharing artistic posters and banners with messages of hope and encouragement to institutions around the world, especially to institutions serving children, like schools and pediatric hospitals.
The organization is also using these banners and posters to support health professionals for their tireless contributions during this challenging planetary moment. Reading these positive affirmations has inspired countless people who see them and reflect on them, letting these small gems enter their hearts and re-inspire their lives.
Please feel free to contact me anytime for a full catalogue of these paintings and peace-themed quotations poster for your selection. We have these posters available in high resolution images. Your can print these posters yourself or we can print to size. We are very happy to offer these to your organisation at no cost, for placement wherever you deem appropriate.
Attach here are some samples, along with feedback and comments from medical staff in participating hospitals in Italy, Germany and US.

Some Choice News!
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!
The gift of giving …?
The author of “The Gift of the Magi” is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.
“The Gift of the Magi” is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, while Jim sells his grandfather’s watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts … after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
