Hmmm...so many wisdom, quotes and opinions out there - it depends on my mood and the circumstance as to which well-loved quote or saying fits at any one time.
However, any quote that reminds me to be stay present and in-the-moment is good!
And this one:
Death is not the opposite of life, but part of it.

Death Café North Canterbury took place for the first time in Amberley last month (23.04.2023) with myself and Mark as your facilitators. We had a record number of bookings (ok, so we didn’t make double figures but hey, it’s early days!) We did set a small record though – we had more men than women this time.
The cake, chocolates, conversation, kōrero and sense of community was special, our themes traversed accepting ‘bad and sad’ news, palliative care options and end of life choice law and decision-making; looking back in time and how death was talked about (or not) in the past.
It was a ...

We had our second Death Café in North Canterbury recently, this time in Rangiora library – and yes, I managed to not drop the cake this time...it was great….the cake and the korero! We had seven of us this week, we covered many themes – from how to talk to children about death and dying, to whether men and women deal with grief differently; to whether there is anything ‘beyond’ – any sense of an afterlife. It was a good hearty discussion which left us with a sense of sharing some of life’s deeper thoughts.
Onwards and upwards, see you in Amberley on 23rd April, 2pm,
Stay ...

We had our very first Death Cafe in North Canterbury recently, in Kaiapoi. Despite torrential rain, cold and the fact I dropped the pear cake...it was great!
We had two attendees and two facilitators, talked non stop about our beliefs, our experiences and societal perspectives.
Onwards and upwards, Rangiora next time,
Stay well and keep talking n hugging, Liz :)
