Fa’a Samoa…or the Samoan Way.

At the center of fa’a Samoa is ‘aiga, the Samoan word for family. The definition of ‘aiga includes extended family and the community. Witnessed throughout Samoan culture is the sincere value placed on maintaining respect and love for close family and the surrounding community.

Alofa means LOVE in the Samoan language.

Writing is often therapeutic, but centering our thoughts and calming our hearts in a fast-paced society is easier said than done.

The small act of expressive writing can redirect upsetting emotions, allowing our energy to flow towards a meaningful life.

Included are many blank lined pages for self reflection after each prompt.
