Red Card - Red Face
How dare that Australian ref red card our Hurricanes Jordie Barrett.
The all-legs, towering and swift as a giraffe being chased by a lion Barrett who can kick goals from 97 metres, is an angel disguised as an All Black on occasions. And an occasion was last Sunday.
Barrett who over extended a leg in order to retain balance from flying in the air to take a catch, got the sprig part of a boot stuck in someones face. The someone wasn't hurt but the ref along with his Aussie ref panel decided he had to go as it all was deliberate, dangerous and damaging.
So he had to appear before a tribunal who had the power to banish Barrett from any further 2021 internationals. But the body of men agreed with Barrett's defence team that Barrett had been wrongly condemned and confined to the sideline and was entirely innocent (and angelic).
And Jordie is now allowed to rejoin his brothers in arm, Beauden and Scott and the terrific threesome can wreak havoc against all comers again starting this coming weekend. Hope Jordie gets in the starting 15 as he is a better more talented all round full back than that Damian fellow who can only smile when he kicks goals or when he misses kicking goals.
Hypnosis for a weight loss mindset
One of the last things I did in December, before breaking up for the holidays, was to attend an interview with the Editor of Diabetes NZ Magazine. The article, due for publication in March 2025, will talk about how I use hypnosis to help people with diabetes to stick to the diet plan from their Dietician, and stick to the health advice from their Doctor, plus a few other things too. (You'll have to read the article to find out what those other things are!) I'm looking forward to seeing my name in print (again), and can't wait to see it in March. I will of course post a link here when it's published
Meanwhile...
You don't have to be diabetic to benefit from hypnosis to maintain your healthy, weight-loss mindset. Maybe you have another health condition that would improve with weight loss, or maybe you just WANT to lose weight by choice?
I live in Upper Hutt, from where I see hypnosis clients online from all over NZ and overseas, too. You are welcome to contact me with any questions you may have, or call me on ++64 211532508 when you're ready to start your hypnosis weight loss journey
Here's to your journey
