Things have changed a lot in my life: I realised I was the problem and I stopped blaming others.
Living in addiction, I used to see things as very black and white. I had set opinions about things and about who was right and who was wrong. Back when I was trying to fix myself and doing a lot of personal growth courses, I spoke with my husband and asked him, what my defects of character were. He said, “You think you are always right.”

These seedlings, if not checked, will soon become a problem to remove and an ongoing issue for the historic graves. We are seeking keen volunteers to help assist us removing these seedlings on a weekly basis.
All you need is a pair of gardening gloves, hat, water, your own snacks and to arrive at The Shelter in the cemetery by 9am. We'll work until about 12pm but your contribution need not be all of that time.
If you have any questions, please email us at secretary@friendsofkaroricemetery.co.nz, otherwise just turn up on the day 🙂

By the way, I'm a cyclist.
