Our need for love and connection is not just romantic or fanciful?

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Our need for love and connection is not just romantic or fanciful; and it's not just the result of immense social pressure to achieve coupledom as a badge of adulthood or maturity (though these pressures are REAL).

Our need for love and connection is not just romantic or fanciful; and it's not just the result of immense social pressure to achieve coupledom as a badge of adulthood or maturity (though these pressures are REAL).

Our need to feel connected is *primal*. But there is no way to completely avoid the pain of uncertainty that relationship will confront us with - and that is because we are not meant to sacrifice growth for certainty.

Fear of uncertainty, of heartbreak, of the inevitability of loss - these are an essential part of the experience of relationship. They make us stretch and evolve and adapt into something greater than we were. If we persist, allowing our primal need for closeness and connection to guide us, painful experiences forge us into something greater, wiser, and infinitely more compassionate and loving than we were before.

Each heartache can makes us more qualified - infinitely more qualified - to love BIGGER, stronger, more fearlessly than before. And so, strangely, loss can make us greater...so that when we love again, we attract a FAR greater love than the ones we've known before. You can heal your heartache and move forward.

We have informed residents and organisations who are likely to be affected by initial stages of this work. The pipeline will divert ‘misty’ water away from the treatment plant, and ensure our new ultraviolet treatment system can operate effectively. We are doubling the effort of a typical pipeline project to minimise disruption to road users and residents, and ensure that the new UV treatment is operational as the demand for drinking water increases in the summer.

All residents and businesses are welcome to attend a meeting at Wellington Water at 1730 on Wednesday 13 September. Phone 04 912 4400 for the further details

Background information on the need for this work is available at: www.wellingtonwater.co.nz...

Boneseed (Chrysanthemoides monilifera) is a pretty, unassuming plant that can quickly replace the native species that are growing around it. Originally from South Africa it now threatens coastal areas where it can suppress the growth of native species.

Producing up to 50,000 seeds a year boneseed can quickly get out of control which is why our pest plants team try and contain it and in some coastal areas they control it. This sometimes means using unorthodox methods to remove the plants.

In Ngawi our team do annual work to remove the little yellow nasties either by hand pulling or cutting and treating via helicopter. They’ve been doing it since 2013 and it takes two helicopters to get the job done! Talk about cool work stories.

So, if you think you’ve seen boneseed, particularly in a coastal area of the Wairarapa, let the handy pest plants team know and they’ll come and have a look. Email them at pest.plants@gw.govt.nz
