I lived in Whitianga/Purangi from when I was born till I left school, 1997-2014. I’ve done various stints back in the area, working on the Glass Bottom Boat during my uni holidays, and at Coromandel’s CFM in 2019 and 2020.
In a world where resources are finite and environmental degradation is a looming threat, the importance of being self-sustainable has never been greater. Self-sustainability means living a lifestyle that relies less on external resources and more on self-sufficiency, including growing your own food, generating your own energy, and reducing your waste.
Podcasts are super popular these days and have a big impact on society. They’re becoming just as important as mainstream media in many countries, and listeners use them for both information and entertainment.
Like it or not, we are all affected to some extent by our feelings: joy, sadness, anger and fear are a part of all our lives. The question is, how do we react when we feel them? We can be overwhelmed by them, ignore them, wish they’d go away or bottle them up.
Who are you? Why are you …? Ahhh, I don’t even know what to say. I’m sitting here behind my screen feeling blocked, unable to write the words I desire, so stuck in my head.
Why can’t I do this? Is it because I forgot to eat breakfast? Maybe it’s my sore back?
Most likely, it’s the guilt from the unrest I directed at my wife 10 minutes ago that was entirely a product of my stress and nothing to do with her.
