Mōrena and Good Morning from Te Tihi-o-Maru Timaru.
I am grateful for my Council Candidate journey through local politics this election.
For the insights and the opportunity to share my values based approach to life and all that that entails.
Although I was not voted onto Council there is always a basket of knowledge that thrives from the experience. My beliefs are of a cup full.
Most importantly we have come to know each other, the important factor for community wellbeing. In Māori we call
fostering relationships whakawhanaungatanga. The essential buildiing blocks of strong and supportive societies
Sharing smiles and stories, I have loved every moment.
I hope I made a difference for those who voted for me and those who cheered me on from international homes and within Aotearoa. I was certainly humbled by your messages of support .
Whether we get voted in or not, for me its about how we inspire and uplift others along the way. I hope I achieved this.
I will continue to present and lead through a values approach towards personal and community wellbeing. To intertwine the arts and culture. To uplift and inspire us into out of the ordinary perspectives and experiences
I would love you to join me along the way as I continue this kaupapa, this purpose.
Please get in touch
Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou
I am very grateful to you all
Anah
