Well, the last few
weeks have been a bit up and down but all have included spending time with some
amazing individuals.
First I shared some lovely time with a dear elderly friend
Eadie who has twice beaten cancer, she
was a fighter and she was the most incredible 90 year old I have ever
known. She was accepting of every
one, the life of the party and the
kindest, sweetest lady. She really was
one out of the box, unfortunately the
last battle was one she could not win and she passed on 23 March 2013. You were a special lady loved by so many
Eadie, hope the party is good where ever you are <3
We had a nice relaxing Easter and some lovely family time. The Tuesday after Easter, Brock and I were lucky enough to get our
pre-Shave portraits taken. It was with
many nerves that we arrived at the home of Tracey, we really needn’t have worried as we both immediately
felt at ease and soon forgot that Tracey was pointing a huge camera at us! Tracey is an incredible artist and we are so
so thrilled that she was keen to be involved in Angels for CanTeen. Please take the time to look at her work on
her facebook page Tracey Stevens Photography
On our way home from getting our portraits we stopped in on
Deb, the lady behind The Angel Project - NZ and co-organiser of Angels for CanTeen with me. It
was wonderful to catch up with her, meet
her lovely hubby and gorgeous children and just spend time throwing about
ideas. Many great plans are made over
coffee!
This last week was made all the more special by the amazing
Mike from Classic Hits Northland agreeing to have a male brazilian live on
radio if we could raise $1000 by 9am Thursday, $1220 later Mike was in a very
uncomfortable position live on air and getting his bits stripped by hot
wax!! Mike you are an absolute legend
and we thank you for your unwavering (well maybe slightly wavering halfway through
the wax job) support!
And this is why I am loving being involved in this project, you meet incredible people, get warm fuzzys on
a daily basis and help out others in the process.
There is whakatauki - Maori proverb that seems appropriate for this post
- He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata! He tangata! He tangata! - What is the most important thing in the world?
- It is people! It is people! It is people!
