Breaking the Stigma: Choosing to Be a Single Mom

Image
It's Mother's Day today so I guess it would be perfect to share with you my motherhood journey and the valuable lessons I learned along the way. When I was 30 years old, I was single at that time, I prayed to God with all my heart to give me a child. And how could I bear a child if I didn't have a man? So, I included the father of my child in my prayers. Within just a week, my prayers were answered. I met the father of my child. I felt it was orchestrated by Divine plan because he too wanted a child. He even asked me if it's okay for me to get pregnant first before getting married. I didn't hesitate to say yes. 3 months after we met, I got pregnant. I felt mixed emotions but overall happy. Unfortunately, we didn't get so well so few weeks after I gave birth to my child, I broke up with him. I became a single mom. I'm sharing this to you because of the stigma of being a single mom. Like most would believed that being a single mom is pathetic, left by the fath

Rising Strong from Failure: Three Valuable Lessons for Personal Growth

Hey guys, how is life going on? One thing that inspires me to be back in blogging is because of  Dr. Wayne Dyer's quote, "Don't die with your music still in you." I actually have a choice to just be quiet and be busy with my life. However, what if someone can learn from my experience, what if someone can find inner peace or value with the kind of thoughts that I am sharing. Because that's what I needed when I was in my problems that I wished I might find someone who can guide me to the solution or just even to a better place. That's why I decided to update my blog and for this week I want to share with you my learnings about failures. Most of us have resistance about failures and negative limiting beliefs about ourselves when we experienced it. It hit me big time when I realized fully that life is full of ups and downs. The path of life is like the graph of the stock market full of ups and downs. I was living in an illusion when I wished problems will go away

Appreciating What We Already Have: My Journey from Self-Doubt to Gratitude

Image
Hey everyone, it's been almost five years since my last blog post, but I'm excited to be back and share my journey with you guys. I took a break from blogging in October 2019 to go back to work because I was afraid that my online business wouldn't be enough to sustain me and my child's basic needs. However, I continued running my online business, Our Beauty Shoppe, which unexpectedly took off during pandemic, allowing me to save money and to start a small food business. In this post, I want to talk about how difficult it is for us to appreciate what we have and forget about them.  Right after I quit my job (September 2021) instead of focusing more on my online business, I invested a lot of money and effort in a small meat shop and food business, which was not my area of expertise, and ended up losing a lot of money, including my savings. It was a tough time, and I felt a mix of emotions, anger, regret, grief and self-blame. However, I realized that it had to happen to g

Most people do not realize how beautiful they are yet we love it when someone truly appreciates our own beauty. Sometimes, it's hard for us to accept their compliments because we're not convinced enough in ourselves that we're that beautiful. That's why I am sharing you today 7 steps on how to be confidently beautiful even if we don't look like Pia Wurtzbach. 1. Appreciate your assets. Maski unsa paka kabatig nawong sama sa giingon sa uban bahin nimo o sa mga nanaway nimo in the past, naa juy parte sa imong nawong o lawas na nindot o maanyag. Didto nato i-pokus atong atensyon kung tan-awon nato atong sarili atubangan sa samin especially if you're someone like me who didn't want to look at myself in front of the mirror. Yes, naabot ko ana na point sa akong life labi na tung nagkagrabe akong mga bugas. So, instead sa mga bugas ko magpokus ug tan-aw didto ko mutan-aw sa parte sa akong nawong na nindot para nako. I looked at my assets and started t

Kita namo sa movie na MOMOL Nights? Portrayed by Kim Molina and Kit Thompson. Directed by Benedict Mique. Aside sa lesson nakuha sa bida (Kim Molina) sa iyang MOMOL (Make Out Make Out Lang) experience. Naa pakoy nakita na message sa movie na akong i-share sa inyo. Ang mensahe kay dili kelangan ikaw ang pinakaguapa in terms sa physical appearance magka-jowa ug guapo sama ni Kit Thompson. TBH (To Be Honest) masuya na mairita ko magtan-aw sa commercial sa Maxi Peel katung commercial nila na dili na daw siya maminyo kay pangit siya tungod kay daghan siya'g bugas. My reaction, "Mura jowg ang nawong lang ang batayan para maminyo." Para nako this is total BS (Belief System) that limit us and prevent us to achieve our happiness. Dili pud nako masisi ning mga bayhana kung mao ni ilang pagtuo kay mao sad ilang nasinati sa ilang kinabuhi. IRL (In Real Life), gikan sad ko diha. Pangitan pud ko sa akong sarili to the point na dili ko ganahan mutan-aw sa akong dagway sa sala

Lipay kaayo ko tung gi-ayo ko sa Ginoo sa buyag. Mga lima ka bulan ko dili kalakaw ug walay findings ang mga doctor unsa akong sakit pero ingon sa duha ka mananambal na naibgan daw kog engkanto. Sa gusto makabalo mao ni ay --->  My Greatest Physical Battle Naayo lage ko pero akong career, finaces, love life, family nagkaguliyang. Feeling nako wala nakoy career kay magsugod na pud ko sa uno. Akong mga team members sa Mary Kay wala na. Sa financial aspect, akong utang sa credit card na wala nako mabayri tung nasakit ko nagkagrabe na ang interest. Nagbulag pa mi sa akong uyab for 7 years. Suko pud nako akong family for so many reasons tungod grabe ilang expectations sa akoa na wala nako na.meet. Nakaana lage ko. "Lord, gibuhi pa ko nimo unya mahanaw ra diay tanan nakong gipaghirapan. Maypag namatay na lang ko uiey kung mao ni." Heartaches after heartaches, disappointments after disappointments, kakapoy ba. Wala jud malikayi ug na-depressed jud ko. Nakaana pud ko at
