I loved how listening to your spoken word showed how tangibly the wairua shifts when the kōrero starts with 'I love myself enough to ... '. You could add to that - 'I love myself enough to be courageously vulnerable' xxxx

I love this realness! That honesty gives the rest of us permission to be ourselves too, and takes away that pressure to conform to someone else’s standards of “acceptability”. You are amazing and perfect right now.

It hasn’t been happening as much as I want tbh. I’m determined to do it daily again. And remember the joy of writing for writing’s sake. Thanks for asking!

LOVE YOU, I love you for writing this, showing up on the page, being a light for yourself and for others, even when that mean voice feels like it's winning. The fact that you wrote this, gave voice to it, shared it, dispels its power. Ng1a mihi nui ki a koe.
