Genina's day starts at 5am and ends at 8pm, when her kids finally fall asleep. For years she treated that quiet like a finish line. Now she thinks it's where the conversation starts. Genina Anne Viluan is a mother of two children with autism and a Master Instructor whose home-based beauty studio was only ever supposed to be temporary.

Lucky Agbalo is a Communication student at Trinity University of Asia, an auditor, a research head, and a quiet operator who has spent most of his life learning to hold things by himself. Not because he wanted to. Because reaching ou
The Real Fight Was Never About Swords | Take and Receive by Bukas Palad Music Ministry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
He grew up on stories of knights and heroes. Characters who went against the grain to do what was right, even when it cost them. He didn't realize that was going to become his actual life. True Boo is the founding president of Knights, a Historical European Martial Arts club built around the study and practice of medieval sword fighting. Yes, there are actual swords.
