Kia ora Relations,
2 weeks to go till we are home and it can’t come any faster 😂 here is a snippet of the final day of our whānau reunion in Te Teko where my baby sister Hineira and my big cuzn Pamela both received their moko kauae, also my darling Chels received her ngutu pūrua.
All made possible by the integral and beautiful Leah (Moko) Ratana who was the Kai Tā, we love you and Max dearly and are forever thankful xoxo also an acknowledgement to my beautiful friend Taisha Tari for her wonderful vocals on one of my most favourite waiata ever, Karanga xoxo
In the heart of our Wharenui, where our ancestors spoke,
We gather as whānau, strong, humble, and woke.
From the whispering winds to the songs of the sea,
Our tīpuna guide us to where we should be.
Whānau, our roots to this sacred whenua,
Bound by whakapapa, our essence, our mana.
Through trials and triumphs, we stand side by side,
In aroha, in unity, our wairua abide.
Commitment we cherish, a bond forged in fire,
Through laughter and sorrow, we lift and inspire.
For in every challenge, in each step we take,
We honor our lineage, for our children's sake.
Vision we carry, like the stars in the night,
To navigate forward, by the ancient light.
With tikanga as our compass, and wairua as our guide,
We build for tomorrow, with pride deep inside.
Together, as whānau, we journey as one,
Under the blessings of Rangi and the warmth of the sun.
For family is everything, our past and our plan,
A tapestry woven, by our collective hand.

I’m just dedicating this moment to all the stars out there who come from large, noisey and full on whānau. You are the ones who shine bright during times of hardship and darkness. Being able to see a way out of the challenge is a gift that many lack, and they rely on stars like yourselves to guide them out. Stay you, stay true, stay tuturu Relations xoxo
I think we all get to a point in our own lives where we ask the question, why am I here, what was I made for? So many possibilities and different pathways laid at our feet for us to decide which way to go. I’ve made some terrible choices in the past but also a lot of great choices. How do you know you’ve taken the right path, or is there even such a thing???? I have been really sick for over the past month and now I am on the mend, I am back to 100% as if today, I want to do better, be better and create better than I have been. Sending a big hug out to anyone who needs it today, love and light xoxo
Anyone who knows me knows I can’t go past any positive community kaupapa without pitching in or supporting lol

On New Year’s Eve we set our goals for the year down on paper for 2024. Our girl wants to develop her confidence in driving, she wants to go for her license on her 16th bday which will be next year, so off for driving lessons with mum today. Always laughs, excitement, nerves and concentration that comes into play lol Do you remember your first time driving, who taught you and how old were you?
