Kia ora Wellington members!

We are deep into winter and is it important to remember to look after ourselves, not just physically but emotionally during these cold months, where we are more susceptible to illnesses and viruses. Winter is always tough for many, with the shorter days, rain and grey skies, but I always appreciate those beautiful sunny winter days that we get to experience here in
Wellington, they are always so great for the soul.

I tested positive for COVID this week, and I am trying to rest as much as possible and be mindful of keeping hydrated and lowering my stress levels (Which for any of those who are parents can understand that sometimes that can be hard when you are isolating with children). Isolation is pretty hard for a lot of us, so staying connected virtually or over the phone with friends and family is not just great for distraction, but also for our health.

I am really looking forward to warmer months that should hopefully bring less sickness in our community. This will also mean that we can hopefully go back to meeting one another in person for our members meetings, which is
something that I’m really looking forward to.

I hope all of you are keeping well, and please reach out if there is any support you need or even just for a chat. I always love hearing from our members!!
