Hi Gaylene, It's great to see you here! Let me know if I can help you with your photo... cropping, sizing, adjusting contrast, fitting it to the site, etc. Then when I've returned it to you, you can post it to the site at Profile Photo. Photos become very important as our group grows.

Hi Gaylene, you and I have similiar interests. Maybe we can start talking about herbal medicine. I am using this spring to get my garden totally organised so I can save herbs which are fast disappearing. Then I want to arrange workshops for others to learn more. Do you have a good herb garden? Are you using Maori herbs? Keep in touch. Cheers Janet

Thanks you for warm words of welcome, will try get a photo susted my computer skills are not that good, need more time to upskill. I will try organise a few people to come to the meeting on 7th look forward to meeting you all. A lot of people in this area have been living the simple life for years and have knowledge to share. If the rain stops, I want to check out successful hydro power system (operating for bout 10yrs now) it is close to my home will take a few pics to share. Cheers Gaylene

Hi there Gaylene
Hey thats great you are looking well ahead. Youa re so right that the only way to have a chance at a decent future and way fo life we must pull together now before its too late. By the way things are going and what i have heard from people that work in big bizz is that we have untill 2010 to get set up sustainably at a reasonable cost.
After that those that are not prepared will be locked in as slaves. So becoming mortgage free and energy independant (including food of course) will be of most importance.
Some friends and i are getting the renewable energy technology available for many to build themselves if they have those skills...
All the best, the hokianga is a great place : )
Regards
Grant

Hi there Gaylene, welcome to our web space. Feel free to start or reply to discussions, add posts and let us know about things and people who you think we might benefit from connecting with. It would be great if a few of you could come down for the 7th, a friend of Maureen's is a friend of mine.

I enjoyed reading about your interests above, this project is such a great network to connect all the light workers together, to consciously co-create the world that we should and could have on this planet. Together we can do it. Keep shining your light,

Genevieve
