It’s easy to get use to routines, comfort and luxuries, and occasionally take some things for granted, but after reading about Lisa Erikson’s story of a double lung transplant it made me more appreciative of being able to do something as simple as taking a deep breath.
Celebrating ten years since her operation, you would have no idea that a pair of new lungs gifted to her by someone she didn’t know is what is keeping Lisa alive. Lisa talks to Paula Hulbert about how grateful she is for each day living life after a lung transplant in this month’s edition. And that’s not the only thing we’re celebrating this month. We feature some of the winners of the Local Architecture Awards and take a look at the 2023 Tasman Mako side ahead of their upcoming season which kicks off this month. I hope you can find something in this month’s edition to enjoy, relate to, or help you to appreciate the good things in life, no matter how big or how small. Thanks for reading.
