Yesterday, I celebrated Mother’s Day a different way... I celebrated love, live, friendship and the joy all around me with my husband and our friends. In this last year, I have come to know more about how my Mamang loved me and have a different perspective. She didn’t start saying she loved me until I started saying the words to her in my 40’s. She showed me in her own love language, her concern and her food. She paid very particular attention to expressing her affection toward me in ways that I misinterpreted for years. She was a strict disciplinarian and her rigid approach to many things dimmed my spirit. She and Dad watched over us during our wedding in Maui twelve days ago. I wore Mamang’s jewelry during the ceremony. I could feel the joy of her spirit on the beach with us as Mitch and I exchanged our vows. Peace and grace filled my heart in that moment. I can’t change the past, however, I can learn, grow and become equipped with the tools be more aware of how different people express themselves. While watching our church’s Mother’s Day service 10pm replay, I had a good cry and pray that God finishes the work he started to use my life for Kingdom’s sake. Perfection is no longer my goal—rather, it’s daily progress. #mothersday #motherhood #memoriesofmom #progressvsperfection #acceptgrowcontribute #john14 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/COtVbjsD1xj/?igshid=cezl9746eorv

It’s encouraging to see the movement towards a more sustainable, waste-free world in places outside of Manila too, and we’re happy to have had our first ever #MuniMeetup in Bacolod last March 9 in partnership with @freshstartorganic @danjuganisland and @hamsa.earth.consciousness!! . We’ve just planted a seed in Bacolod, and we’re hopeful that our partners and attendees present will continue to foster mindfulness in their lifestyle choices, and find ways to positively influence friends, family, and their larger community. ‘Til next time, Bacolod! 😉 . . . . . #zerowaste #zerowasteph #zerowasteways #zerowasteliving #cutthcrap #ourchoicesmatter #progressvsperfection #freshstart #danjuganisland #hamsa #consciousconsumption #consciouscompany (at Fresh Start SM City Bacolod)

"There is love in holding, and there is love in letting go." - Elizabeth Berg . Do we need a new year to be more mindful of the better choices that we can make day to day, and the unhealthy habits (including our attachment to wasteful ways and material things) that we can leave behind? . Life (and change) is a series of moments. Deliberate moments, deliberate choices that we make moment to moment. . We can go to bed grateful for the experience of past, and looking forward to how we can be better when we wake up on another day. . With each new day, we can continuously endeavor to live an increasingly waste-free life, in all senses of the word. We hope you’ll join us on this journey to a new year, every day. 😊 . . . . . . #essentialism #zerowaste #zerowasteph #habitformation #resolution #habits #newyearsresolution #progressvsperfection #daybyday #babysteps #change #consciousconsumption #mindfulliving
