I am Hannah - Raw, Real, Life.

I am Hannah. Yet, I am you. I am her.

It’s hard to explain who I am. Who we are. Where in the world would I start?

I am a woman. A mum. A wife. A business owner. I am all these things and so much more.

Am I defined by who I am? Or what I do? What I love? Or What I think? What I feel? Or the things I’ve triumphed over? Or even where I live.

I am Hannah. Wife. Mum. Business Owner. Christian. Daughter. Granddaughter. Aunty and Sister. A woman in her 30’s. 

I am Hannah living in the Chatham Islands of New Zealand after moving here from Christchurch.

I am Hannah. Reader. Writer. Technology lover. Loving close friends. Organised yet messy. The to-do list that’s a mile long.

I am Hannah. Who loves singing. Dancing. Writing. Drawing. Learning. Creating ideas and strategies and figuring out solutions. Learning Te Reo Maori. Who learnt Swahili starting at 16.

I am Hannah. Overcoming things I couldn’t have even imagined. A paralysed diaphragm making life fun. The mum of a child born at 29 weeks. Overcome post natal depression. Allergies. And more medical stuff than I wish we had.

I am Hannah. Passionate. Real. Raw. Happy and Sad. Content and stressed. Busy and Slow.

I am Hannah.
