Ngā mihi nui, Lisa. I feel I’ve received a precious gift from you this morning in this post. I like that you use ‘intention’ rather than ‘resolution’. It feels gentler, kinder. Your words are both challenging and healing. I feel encouraged (and challenged!) to be gentler on myself and everyone else as I recover from a brain injury. And you’ve added more words to my te reo Māori vocabulary. Now I’m about to do some reading about maramataka and ahi kā. All the best with your intentions. I look forward to hearing more about them. Kia ora! 🌓🔥
Yes! Taonga , koha - much better words for what you’ve given me today!
Do you mind if I ask where you’re from? It’s just that I’ve done a little history research for iwi in Tai Tokerau and the name Cherrington cropped up there.
awww, ae I am a hearty Tai Tokerau - Ngati Hine - from Ngararatunua. Cherrington definately from up North. and he mihi aroha ki a koe - thank you for subscribing too xxx
