Dear Whakapiiwari
You are amazing, I see you everywhere! people wear you at graduations, weddings, tangi, birthdays, koroneihana, sending overseas as gifts... Lots of people don't even know how to find you to get more! 🤪
You've pulled through when I've been short on $$, helped a fair few people through fundraising, gifting and workshops
You have waited for Me everytime I have been too busy/tired/sad to make more taonga, Ive needed and appreciated the ability to press pause.
But its time to Stop Stopping!
It's beauty is best felt when it's a collective effort, Whānaungatanga, mahi tahi, creativity, quality time together, laughing, singing, listening & creating memories aka
"Peeling Potatoes together"
Tena koutou mō tō tautoko ki tenei pākihi pīwari
Mauri ora,
Synoma Takitimu
Whakapiiwari
