This month four families gathered and the activity we shared was cooking puddings in preparation for Christmas. A few of us usually partake in this seasonal tradition with our blood relatives, but hey, this feels like family too. It was a beautiful day of mild, fine weather and so we did all the preparations outsideContinue reading “November gathering of Heart Choice Families”

Heart Choice Families fun on 3rd Sept
Abundance from the garden led us to a cooking activity this month on our afternoon together. Cherie and Dan yielded a huge bunch of chard from their garden. Then many hands made light work with slicing the chard, leeks, zucchini. Everyone joined in again with stuffing the wilted vegies into the cannelloni shells. TheContinue reading “Heart Choice Families fun on 3rd Sept”

This year I’ve been having fun with changing my routine around a bit and driving my car less. My aim is to walk to get to localContinue reading “Community and Commuting”

It’s time for another conversational event…
Creating time to start a new conversation about our life or life in general is more valuable than we think! Bringing time for community connection and for some well deserved self-care to the top of the ‘to do’ list is important. Sometimes we just have to press the pause button and have a real conversationContinue reading “It’s time for another conversational event…”
