How to Downsize Gifts and Heirlooms
Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Artist Talk on Caravaggio
Artist Talk on Caravaggio as part of a relaxed ‘Cafe Style’ Church service this Sunday at 10.30, Helensville Community Church, 40 Mill Road. Refreshments are available throughout the service at no cost and questions are welcomed throughout the powerpoint talk. Presenter, blacksmith Chris Ellwood, is both professional and personable in his presentation, combining information, warmth and humour throughout. Caravaggio was a genius who loved the life of a wealthy young man in a big city. His art was bright and flamboyant. His pictures were the toast of the town, and it seemed that nothing could taint his fame. Then this rash, gifted and passionate young man made a big mistake, and a man was killed. On the run, Caravaggio is confronted by his mortality and begins to reassess his life.
