I have always loved the beach.
Not the bikinis and sun tans, I love the feeling of sand between my toes, the smell of the salt water and the atmosphere of the beach.

Ladies and gentlemen, I did it. I ran for 20 minutes and lived.
One week into the Woe to Go challenge and I'm not going to lie, it's been tough.
I've heard it said that the sweetest sound to a person's ear is the sound of their own name.
It's true too, most of the time.
When I was a child, doing something wrong – I generally got all my names … at full volume.
That wasn't so good.

It's true too, most of the time.
When I was a child, doing something wrong – I generally got all my names … at full volume.
That wasn't so good.
But the right person saying your name can be a moment to treasure.
So I have another option that can be a precious gift to others or to yourself.
It is the gift of silence.

This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.
1 – I Heart the History of My Hood
Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.
2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood
New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.
3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood
With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.
To enter go to our website and ‘share your story’
So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.
