Would it be Great if
I joined The Leadership for Women Forum , a free webinar by Sister Sister Network, a community in UK that promotes gender equality through leadership skills training and networking events. We had attendees joining from different countries. Covid-19 has brought many events online and made the world even ‘smaller’, there is always bright side of …
Choice
At the end of a long work day, I felt annoyed of myself (more than tired) that why I didn’t stop earlier. There is always more to do. 1 email usually leads to another, an hour later, I’m still in front of the computer. I could be upset of myself yet it would not change …
Quieter, Cleaner, Kinder
4 weeks ago, I saw nobody wore mask on the street and very few at the store. Today when I went grocery shopping, everybody wore mask. To keep social distance, Trader Joe’s limited 20 people in the store so 1 out then 1 out and people waited patiently and quietly outside in distance, by the …
Do the ‘Care’ Thing

Smart Kindness
I am a supporter of Children International. Recently I sponsored 2 new girls in Philippine and Zambia. When I received the welcome pack, it included not only their pictures and profile info but also a card and a stamp-exempt return envelope asking me to answer a few questions to introduce myself. It took me only …
Our Choice
Schools are closed, events are cancelled, and people’s conversation is often around covid-19. It is uncertain, it may be scary, yet we always have the choice to be happy, hopeful, creative, considerate, helpful, grateful…
Be, Breath & Give Thanks
A lighter attendance to yoga class due to covid-19, the instructor shared with us her mantra ‘Be, Breath & Give Thanks’. I love it and it lights up this uncertain time. Being present in our practice or whatever we do, breath and appreciate what we have/ who we are. Crisis (worst time) often brings the …
