“Tangata Whai Ora”

I posted this e-mail on my other blog today, It was so touching i just had to share it with every one here. I can not believe my cartoons are getting this wide reception.

My name is B***** M*****… I have since visited this site many times. I have enjoyed your cartoons they have given me (and others I have shown) a few giggles and a lot of tongue in cheek laughter. I am a mental health nurse and work in one of the In-patient units in Auckland. I have found that humor can be just as healing as any medication… here in New Zealand we call mental health service users “Tangata Whai Ora” which means “People whom are seeking wellness”. I would like to thank you for bringing this site to my attention, I have it already marked in my favorites. I wish you all the best in your endeavors and please keep up the good work. Stay well, stay strong and have faith and courage in those around you that love you. Most of all have faith and courage in yourself because at the end of the day its “you” who makes the difference.

Please remember now matter what you do it is so true "at the end of the day its “you” who makes the difference."
