Hi there!

Here at Trade Me we're chuffed to let you know we’ve launched our Kindness Store again for winter, supporting KidsCan and the great work they do making sure our tamariki have a fair start – after all, little Kiwis can’t learn when they’re hungry, wet, and cold.

We’ve stocked the store with all the essentials. Think fleece-lined rain coats and shoes to keep kids warm and dry, and warm, healthy food.

Just pick, click, and give now – we take care of the rest, making sure your purchase gets to KidsCan.

Lex Williams recalls a first date with his future wife at Dunedin's Forbury Park.

“That was 53 years ago, and I remember saying to her on the way home that we were going to buy one of these horses one day.”

The couple, who married in 1970, ended up buying their first horse in 2002, then another a year later.

That horse would become champion trotting mare One Over Kenny, who won nearly $1.1 million from her 32 wins.

The memories of the horses and his late wife, Heather, loomed large for Williams at the 110-year-old track’s farewell meeting on Thursday night.

"Being deaf is no barrier to learning and seeing someone like me achieving qualifications and working in a job that has a lot of responsibility has hopefully encouraged them to give it a go.”

When Erich Krogmann started the Food and Beverage Level 2 qualification, he had to learn how to balance study with a night job and a young family, but his main challenge came in the form of his hearing disability.

Erich says he thinks he’s inspired other people with a disability to take on training.

A couple of quotes stood out for me from this MindPower episode - an interview with Dr Patrick Williams on his book "Getting Naked" ooh la la !

“I truly believe we all have a unique purpose, maybe more than one.
We have a legacy to leave at various stages of our lives. Your influencers and mentors change as you do.”

AND

“The goal is to reach more people & in simple terms show them how to get beyond the shit in their life & on to the life they want to live.” 🤭

Very much in alignment with what we do at Dream Big New Zealand.

What a pleasure to meet Hayley Parsons of Clarks Beach, Auckland. She and husband Chris relocated this huge three-storey villa from Palmerston North to Auckland, and project managed the rebuild of Huntly House from London. Wonderful house, wonderful history.
