Happy Tuesday! 🙂 How’s your start of the week so far? Last night, the plants my interior designer ordered for our condo finally arrived. I was (and still am) so happy! There were a total of 10 outdoor plants for our veranda plus 1 indoor plant. Words are powerful, so I decided to name our indoor plant, JOY. I have 10 outdoor plants which I plan to name Gratitude, Laughter, Gentle, Courage, Radiant, Beautiful, and so on! Hehe! 🙂 Every time I see JOY, I imagine what it feels like to feel a deep sense of joy and to smile and to laugh. Plus, the quote “Let’s celebrate something today”…

Happy Wednesday! It’s September already! Time flies really fast. How was your last week of August? Mine was a bit relaxed with lots of online interviews and meetings in between. We’re coming up with another summit on Gratitude and I’m so happy to have had the chance to interview some really amazing people from the different parts of the globe. I interviewed the founder of the Gratitude app, a happiness scientist, etc. Excited to share the details with you real soon! Then last Saturday, I gave a talk on Creativity to a group of scholars of Insular Life. So happy to speak along with my friends Maan and Jan! Sunday,…

Happy Wednesday, How are you? Hope you’re having a beautiful day so far. Let me share with you a short story. Last year, I dreamed of going to Maldives. I said, “God, I want to go to Maldives.” I was so clear about what I wanted. About two weeks ago, God gave me the best version of my dream. I was invited to speak in Maldives. So I went to Maldives for work (which is also my passion) plus vacation. My clients paid for everything — travel and accommodation. Technically, I only spoke for a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes, but my clients were so generous. They booked…

Happy Wednesday!! Hope you are smiling as you are reading this. A few weeks ago, I was having dinner with my friend who is in her late 50s. In the middle of our conversation, she said, “Sha, someday, I want to be like you.” I almost choked. My friend is one generation older than me and she was saying she wanted to be like me someday. I looked at her with a curious smile and asked,  “What do you mean?” “Someday, I’d like to be a global speaker like you.” She replied. I was amazed at her humility and candor. This also made me think… We can learn from anyone…

Happy Tuesday! Today is another beautiful day, another day to experience God’s goodness. Another day to get to know yourself better… Another day to find something fun and amusing… Another day to express your love to yourself and to the people around you. Just want to send this quick email to remind you that All is well. Everything is working for you. Yes, everything! Every good thing is working for you. And yes, even the problems and difficulties, too. Everything is working together for your good, Kim. Keep that in mind. Looking back, I can see that most of my breakthroughs came from my biggest problems. I thank God I got…

Happy Tuesday:) Hope you are having a great day so far, Kim. It’s a little past 1:00pm as I am writing this. I just had my lunch and just done with my power nap as well.  Yes! I nap everyday! 🙂 Right before lunch, I also interviewed via Zoom a global speaker and the former president of the Global Speakers Federation. It was a beautiful interview and I’ll share more about it real soon! Are you overwhelmed sometimes? Do you feel like there’s so much to do and so little time? I can relate with you. What do you do when you’re feeling overwhelmed?  Last Saturday night, I came home…

Happy Wednesday, How are you? Hope you’re having a beautiful week so far. I was in India last June 10-13, 2019 and it was magical. It almost felt like Aladdin. Let me share magical lessons with you during my recent trip in India. 1. Keep planting… harvest is coming! Last June 12, I was awarded by the United Nations Global Entrepreneur Council as the Female Entrepreneur of the Year – Philippines. The awarding ceremony happened in Chennai, India. More than 15 countries participated. I learned that there were about 3,700 applications and nominations and only 50 people were awarded. I was one of the two Filipinos who were awarded. The…

Hi, I wrote a book. In 3 days, it became a bestseller! 10,000 copies sold in 3 days! 40,000 copies sold in one month! But the book was not mine. A big company asked me to write the book. Just a bit of a background. About 3 years ago, I attended a huge convention hosted by the “big company.” There were over 5,000 people in that convention hall. I arrived late and the first person I saw and who saw me come in was Bro. Bo Sanchez. Bro. Bo smiled at me. I walked up to him to say “Hi.” Then he introduced me to the President of that company.…
