Something good will come out of this!
How are you? I hope you and your family are doing okay amidst the corona virus crisis. My message today is simple: Something good will come out of this. I remember a funny incident last week. I had a new laptop, two sophisticated mics, and an intimidating recording software. Here’s the photo I showed you last time. There’s a new addition to my set-up. I have a pop filter, too –the ones you see among professional singers. Looks perfect, right? Alas! I didn’t know how to use the recording software. Not only that, my two mics didn’t work on my new laptop because apparently, I needed additional chord and splitter…

A Lesson on Humility and Obedience: Covid Edition plus CLOY Hangover
Happy Monday! Let me tell you an old story that is still relevant today. There was an army commander named Naaman of Syria. He was well respected, just like Capt. Ri of Crash Landing on You. While Naaman was well-esteemed, he was a leper. One day, a little girl, their maid, told Naaman’s wife that someone from the land of Israel can cure Naaman. The wife told Naaman, and Naaman obeyed. He asked his King for permission to go to Israel and he was granted the permission. Upon reaching Israel, Elisha, the man who was supposed to cure him didn’t even meet Naaman in person. He just sent the message…

Crash Landing on You and Covid-19
Happy Thursday! How are you? Hope you are well. If you check social media and the news these days, the topic is all about Covid. I heard that a lot of offices now are encouraging their teams to work from home, which is really good. Some employees may not be lucky because of the layoffs that are happening. Entrepreneurs are also experiencing a decline in their profits because of covid. I, as a speaker, have also experienced having several events in the Philippines, Africa, and the Maldives canceled/postponed due to covid. This is not the time to panic. So in this short email, I’d like to share five powerful ways to…

Happy Valentine’s Day! Plus my two gifts for you!
Happy Valentine’s Day! 🙂 As promised, I am sending you my two Valentine’s Day gifts for you. These two gifts mean a lot to me and I hope they will bring a smile on your face. Valentine’s Gift #1: I want to serenade you with a song titled “I Can.” 🤩 This song was popularized by Filipino singer Donna Cruz in the 90s. I love this song and the message is so beautiful. Background: I’ve always wanted to sing but everyone around me teased me not to sing. They all thought I was tone deaf and I couldn’t carry a tune. I saw that as their way of loving me and I…

What are you grateful for right now?
Happy Tuesday! 🙂 How are you? I was supposed to send my weekly email newsletter yesterday, Monday. But for some reason, I was feeling a little sad and unproductive yesterday and I didn’t know why. At 5:00pm, I texted three of my closest girl friends and I told them about how I felt and I asked them to pray for me. They replied and said, “Hugs, Sha! I’ll pray for you!” “Why don’t you go for a walk, or do some workout?” “Or eat chocolate.” I smiled at their replies. I was touched I cried a little. I felt so much gratitude in my heart that I have friends I…
