Turn downsizing stress into strength
Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Ally Cat - lost since May 5
Ally Cat is a sweet but very timid little cat. She has been missing from her home in Strathmore Park since May 5. We don't know how far she could have wandered. Her human family and her brother Neko miss her terribly and are very worried. Please get in touch if you see her. She is likely to be hiding during the day. She is black and white, with a white face and black ears and tail. Her belly and her legs are all white apart from a small black patch behind her front left paw.
