A Cheekee Raffle

Jasmine Soa from Cheekee Hero Charity

We're showering September with some feel good vibes and we're doing it with A Cheekee Raffle.

Cheekee Hero is a whānau-run charity. We celebrate, support and raise awareness of tamariki (children), rangatahi (youth) and their whānau (families) with different abilities. Our tagline CONNECT - AMPLIFY - CREATE CHANGE is our mission. We will connect families with different abilities; amplify children's superpowers and create change by working collaboratively with charities and organisations, individuals and their families with any disability or illness to empower and champion each other.

Our kaupapa (initiative) is all about making change FUNNER by celebrating supporting and raising awareness of our beautifully diverse community that we serve.

As a whānau our lived experience of a child facing insurmountable odds is our reason for helping others.
And this September we were lucky enough to have been sponsored some amazing products from our kind friends at Vodafone NZ, so that we can continue our mahi (work) in the community.

A tip for the Season Of Overwhelm

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, are you feeling overwhelmed? Multi-tasking. Saying yes too much. Or not saying no enough. Committing and then not getting as much done as expected. Too many things on the to-do list and not enough hours in the day. Distracted. And now it’s the holiday season and everything is on turbo-charge!

Here’s one tip that can help move your attention from all that over thinking and relentless planning.

Use your body as a way of becoming present. Take advantage of short moments of waiting during the day to switch your attention to what you are feeling in your body at this moment.

Start by taking an intentional breath into your chest and down through your abdomen. Emphasize the exhale to get all the air out. From there, you might simply feel the weight and the connection of your body to the chair you’re sitting in or your feet to the ground.
If you would like to train your ability to cope with overwhelm, good-quality mindfulness training is proven to help.

I run a friendly small group in Meadowbank, third Monday of the month. (Except December!)
