Write Your Story - A series of 5-weekly 2.5-hour Community Workshops

Angela from Paraparaumu

“I’ll write my story when I have more time.” Sound familiar? Many people say it… until it’s too late.
The truth? The Best Time Is Now. You don’t have to write it all at once. Start with one memory, one page. Tell your story before someone else tries to piece it together from fragments. Because no one can tell it the way you can. If you'd like a hand to get started on your writing project in a supportive fun environment, join us on 13th February for the upcoming series of 5-weekly 2.5-hour Write Your Story community workshops. Places are limited. Reservations are essential. Call or email me to reserve your place.

Price: $150

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
