Kia Ora my dear readers …

I am delighted to be writing to you all – at this moment

I have enjoyed my time away in India

Connecting to family

Friends

Soulful food

Traditions

and now looking forward to being home again 🌟😃

The intention of my writing today is to share an immigrant perspective of living in a land that is now home and leaving a land that also feels like home…. 🍀😊

Godzone

Aotearoa NZ is home as this is where I have

Created a history of 25 years 👏🏽❤️with my then young family -our moments together –

Milestones we made –

Education -my sons and I accessed –

Pets we loved and raised –

The connections made –

Our memories

Travels across this amazing terrain

Our cross cultural journey –

Lessons in the rich bicultural traditions of

A country that I fondly call home 🍀🌟❤️😊😊

Every time I look at the blue of the sea

The stretch of the hills

Staunch mountains and the

Undulating greens -I am in awe …

I am persistently reminded of God – Faith – and Connections

I remain grateful that my work here

Fulfills my need to serve others

Facilitating pathways towards betterment in individual wellness 🍀

In one of my next check ins I will endeavor to make note of why India remains and will always be close to my heart ❤️🍀😊

When one has two places that mean home –

there is so much to be grateful for – yet there is a hint of wariness that sets in and makes me wonder …, if I can ever choose

where would I rather be ….

I really don’t have the answer for it just yet

What I do know for sure is

Even when the heartstrings tug ….

The present moment is

the only gift that remains with each of us

So let’s strive to

Think well

Feel well &

Do well at each given moment …,🌟❤️😄

Faith 🍀

Family 🌟💙❤️🍀☀️

Connections 🚲🎼🎸☘️🏀⚽️🍸

Service is what 👍👏🏽🍀😊🙏

Instills purpose

Takes hold and

Leads

Towards individual and collective wellness 🍀👍🎼👏🏽🌟

With much love 🍀
