I look at pregnancy as nine months of mental and physical exercise in preparation for birth, similar to how the frequent toilet visits throughout the night seem like preparation for the frequent waking and feeding once baby is earthside. It’s all hard work and every woman or seahorse dad (Google it) has a different journey in pregnancy and birth.
The first time I left NZ was in 1973, off on the required OE, bound for Southeast Asia. Boy, was I excited. During the flight I sat next to an effeminate guy. We chatted away and before touching down in Bali I woke up and realised my sleeping head had been resting on his shoulder. I apologised profusely but he was very nice and patted me on the leg and suggested I go and stay with him in a flash resort at Nusa Dua. I politely lied to him that I already had accommodation booked at Kuta Beach, and thanked him for his kind offer, despite the fact I was sure he had ulterior motives. Tip number 1: have some plausible stories ready for unforeseen situations.
If music be the food of love … play on I have always wondered what the first musical instrument would have been? Presumably, the human vocal chords – chanting, singing

When Tairua local Will Fransen fell off his boat in January while fishing beyond the Aldermen Islands, he drifted over 55 km in the currents in little over 24 hours. Incredibly, he was found alive.
If the currents and tides can carry a human this far, imagine the distance a small fragment of invasive seaweed like Caulerpa can spread on the same currents. Particularly because the tides and currents flow day in and day out.
Hello, my loves. Welcome to this six-part series where I am going to bring an easy and attainable action or idea into your world that you can reflect on and implement, so that you can live your life in your most optimal health.
I want to start with why optimal health is crucial for enhancing the quality of our lives. Our well-being + health fundamentally shape our daily experiences, which is why the saying “If you don’t have your health, you have nothing” resonates so deeply. While it’s possible to be surrounded by loving and supportive people even when unwell, enjoying life becomes significantly more challenging without good health.
