Whispers of Aroha

18/09/2025

He taonga te aroha
— aroha is a gift that grows the more it is shared.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to let me know you’ve received your booklet, and to those still waiting, I truly appreciate your patience.

Over this time, I have been privileged to receive many personal stories and reflections about how the booklet has found its place in your life’s journey. I would now like to invite you to share these stories in my review section. There is no pressure or expectation — simply an opportunity to offer your experience to others who may be considering it.

I'll pop the link to the review page in the comments below with an updated link to purchase the booklet for those who are still interested.

Ngā mihi aroha xx

Breathe deeply into this morning,
let the air fill you with calm strength.

Step into the day with confidence,
with openness to learning,
and with the knowing
that your presence itself
is already a gift of abundance.

Mā te mārama, ka mātau. Mā te mātau, ka ora.
Through each moment of awareness,
you carry wisdom forward,
and with that wisdom
you create life, balance, and wellbeing.

The night draws near,
calling you to exhale the weight of the day.
What was built, created, and carried
now rests gently in your hands.

Take time to return inward,
to let gratitude settle on your shoulders,
and to breathe in the calm that follows effort.

May aroha surround you,
may your wairua find ease,
and may this evening bring quiet strength
to your heart.

Pō mārie.

Without darkness we are unable to recognise light.

Kupu Māori - Mā te taumarumaru o te manga ka kitea he rā kei tua
Translation - Through the shadow of the mountain the sun can be seen beyond
Meaning - The light of hope awaits beyond the shadows

Cast your vision wide
and step forward with purpose today.

The pathways ahead open
when we ask for support,
when we walk alongside others,
and when we give back
to the world that sustains us.

Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi.
Together our offerings create abundance,
and from that abundance
we all move forward.

The sun sinks low,
and with it the fullness of the day begins to soften.

What surged with strength and purpose
now invites balance
to pause, to acknowledge,
to carry gratitude for what has been given.

Take time to breathe,
to stand steady in the glow of all that was accomplished,
and to let the warmth of aroha
settle gently within.

Pō mārie.

Mid-week hack…

Just finished a mountain of mahi,
but plot twist: there’s a side quest today?

Coffee in hand, katakata flowing
sometimes that’s all the cardio we need to get through.

What’s your mid-week hack?

Let the energy of this morning
guide you toward your strengths.

Call forward your inner courage
and trust the flow that carries you.

Creativity is alive in this space,
asking you to give freely of your gifts,
to stand with clarity,
and to rise into all that is waiting.

Whāia te iti kahurangi.
Move boldly,
shine openly,
let your light expand.

As night settles,
the tide of energy begins to soften,
drawing you inward after days of movement and flow.

The horizon glows with quiet promise,
reminding you that even great ngaru
return to stillness.

This evening, breathe deeply,
let the rhythm of the moana steady your heart,
and allow yourself to be carried
into calm waters of rest.

Pō mārie.
