"Imbalances of the world today stemming from our treatment of children at birth. When drugs, forceps, scalpels are NOT used, and instead babies are welcomed into the world by the hands of their parents, we are imprinting them with love NOT fear. There are infinite ways that a loving and gentle birth experience effects the life of that child and all whom they come into contact with" words expressed by Papa Hohepa Delamere

Face your cheek to the sun
I love the sun and am so gracious for that which we are gifted with on earth. When I had times of sadness, I would face my cheek to the sun. This is my definition of sun kissed and one that has helped me in so many ways. I consider a sun kiss one of my values to teach my daughter, who turns 3 next month. We are very similar in our personalities and she mimics very well too, so I've had to be mindful of my conduct in her presence. Another love of mine is the sea and especially when I've felt disconnected with the world and even myself, I find the healing waves of Hinemoana being exactly what I needed to refresh and rethink. We get so bogged down by life in it's entirety, that we forget to look after ourselves. Or throw caution to the wind and compromise our beings for others. I've certainly always felt I needed to put others before myself but, there comes a time when we need to stand on the two feet we were given and lead our own lives free of others bounds and wants.
