Katrina’s Success Story

Here I am at the Whare!

Borine “74” - Fast forward to “24”. My upbringing was unfortunately neglect, all tho somewhere along the line, there was love, hugs & morals, must have been. Where did I get it, I’ll tell you…

All of the neglect, here is an opposite called connection/love/compassion/empathy, forgiveness, loving ourselves, & Christ. So far all that neglect, pain, grief, disconnection, hate there is the opposite! So, for nearly 50 years I’ve been putting shit on myself by not accepting that from all the neglect was this beautiful side to the neglect. Also I decided to forgive myself for not forgiving myself earlier. Did I know how? Did I care? Have I tried? Kind of.

Taking a step back, getting away from meth has allowed me to see how much of a wonderful person I can be towards others and myself.

I’ve become grateful daily. I’m grateful for this place, Te Whare Nukunoa giving me a chance to grow in “self development”. New Moto - ME, Myself & I. It works, it’s not selfish, it’s selfless

I am very honest and very grateful on myself. 

I choose to be with Christ. I choose to these positive things. I choose to treat others the same whether it is returned or not. To be this way is a gift in itself. 

I became addicted because I started to enjoy the neglect! 

There’s that part that still does, but because I choose to acknowledge that neglect when it comes up - It’s a reminder of what I went through. 

Grief, sadness, pain - Stuck - Hating others and me, myself & I. That a fulfilling purpose of life for me, myself and I. It enables me to accept all that pain. There is an opposite!

It started with acknowledging I was ‘addicted’ to painfulness! Experience. 

Under the W.A.L.K. Program offered at the Wellington Homeless Women’s Trust - Me, Myself & I - Love Light Peace. 

I will always need support and help so I know I will be more confident to ask for it.

I miss my mum - Rana Keith.
