What Ka Lui Taught Me about Purpose
I was in our office in Makati City one morning when my business partner and friend Ian said, “Sha, let’s go to Palawan next week!” . . “Huh? What are we going to do in Palawan?” I asked. . . “Let’s write and rest. I need to write some articles. And isn’t it that you have articles to write as well?” She answered. . . You might be wondering why Ian chose Palawan. Our business partner Val and our trainers Kat and Cherry were there to conduct 10 days life skills training for our unemployed and out-of-school youth there. . . I checked my Planner and my schedule that coming…

Do You Need Help Writing Your Book?

Once you become an author, you’d be recognized as an expert. . . I started writing my first book in 2008 and I was only able to publish it in 2011.

Visualize Your Dreams
How are you? . . Last April 11-22, 2016, I gave a 10-day life skills training to the out-of-school and unemployed youth of Cebu City. It was a very fulfilling and meaningful experience. Tiring, yes! I visited a spa for 4 days in a span of less than two weeks! I was literally running on God’s grace, massage, and little sleep. But seeing the transformation of the participants as the training days went by gave me deep joy. . . There’s something that bothered me a bit as I did one-on-one mentoring for my students. . . I asked each of them what their dreams were. Their answers? Janitor. Waitress.…

What is in Your Bucket List?
Is writing a book in your bucket list? . . I’m writing this in Cagayan de Oro City. I am here to conduct 10-day life skills training for our unemployed and out-of-school youth. I flew in to CDO right after I gave a talk on Book Writing during the Authors’ Bootcamp in Cebu City. It was a joy to be with a group of passionate Cebuanos who wanted to write their books. Thank you to my friend Jet Elnar for organising the event! . . As an author myself, I get so excited every time I’m able to finish writing a book. Lately, one of my passions is to teach people how…
