2010: A new Odyssey

I hope this is the rebirth of more posts to document this wonderful journey we have been experiencing.  We've picked up our niece & are northward bound tomorrow morning. Three hours give or take & we should be there. We are all looking forward to it, even though it's only been 2 weeks since we were there for Xmas & New Years. This trip is to take our niece & the kids, do some odd jobs for the marae & finish the years game plan (supposed to have done between Xmas eve & Jan 1st). Zacha & I, did an empowerment workshop just before Xmas & have been working through many emotions & past experiences.  It's been very difficult at times but ultimately has been great for our relationship. On that note, it seems that the strength to weather difficult times bears reward through building patience & character, virtues often under rated. These abilities give us the strength to deal with the unpleasant, understand it, process it & deal with the issue properly so that it does not fester & block the ability to grow.
