About

What are the lessons we can learn from the Covid-19 lockdowns?  In this series I hope to present some thought-provoking ideas about our lives up to this point, and what we can do to live a ‘better’ life – provided we learn the necessary lessons.  I mention an article from the New Zealand Herald which stated; “Optimists throughout this lockdown have hoped that coming out of the pandemic, we’ll have learned a few lessons along the way … that we’ll enjoy a gentler, more meaningful existence as a result of slowing down and connecting with what really matters. Looking at the queues outside the drive throughs, it looks like we’re heading straight back to the lives we left behind.”
