    Pooh-losophy of grief (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    I have witnessed the agony of watching my dad flatline in the ICU, a college bestie’s body slowly turn cold after life support was withdrawn, and the ache of difficult “goodbyes.” At wakes, listening to eulogies often reveals who someone was and the impact they made. The joy, sadness, anger and regret expressed by mourners often moves me, leaving me melancholic and reflective. In moments of offering sympathy to the grieving, I’ve learned that the most compassionate response is often not to say a

    The rain reset: A masterclass in letting go (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I love the sound and cool air that rain brings. There is a distinct, collective shift in energy the moment a sudden downpour hits. Once it pours, it’s no surprise to see high-flying executives, hurried students, and casual shoppers huddled together, seeking shelter under the same canopy. Rain offers a gentle, spiritually grounded pause from our demanding lives—a reminder from our Heavenly Father to pause, look up, and breathe.

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Today, Philippine workplaces bring four generations side-by-side—from Baby Boomers to Gen Z—along with a growing awareness of neurodivergent individuals whose ways of thinking, communicating or processing information may differ from what is considered typical.

    The power of awe (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    I never return from a journey quite the same person I was when I left. There is something magical about entering an unfamiliar place. When I leave behind the grind, something in me awakens. Obligations, chores and worries fade, replaced by sights, sounds, flavors and possibilities. Psychologists describe this feeling as awe—a profound sense of wonder when confronted with something vast or beyond ourselves. Mental health practitioners acknowledge that experiencing awe can ease stress, support emo

    Raising strong children in mind and heart (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Recently, my heart ached with sadness on reading about a female college athlete who died by suicide after jumping from her school building. It made me think about how a child can have good grades, a comfortable home and plenty of opportunities—and still quietly struggle, mentally and emotionally. Today’s youth are growing up in a world that is wonderfully connected yet emotionally overwhelming.
