Traditions after loosing a Loved One
Hi Everyone,
I just read this from my friend Anita Larson who is a Funeral Celebrant overseas. I liked it so much I wanted to share it. She wrote an article about how keeping traditions or making new ones after the death of a loved one is helpful.
Hope you like this story:
Christmas
"My brother travelled the world and left us too soon. He collected Snow Globes from every destination and would often bring one back for Mom & Dad. We are continuing the tradition by purchasing a Snow Globe wherever our travels take us this year. His collection of over 100 Snow Globes is on display at our parent’s home along with a map with pushpins marking every place he visited. We will each take turns shaking the Snow Globes while listening to his favourite Country Christmas songs."
Do you have any traditions you keep or have started?
Would love to hear about what you do.
As we head into 2019, may we find Peace, Love, Grace and Kindness.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

36.7% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
