#32: Edit Your Life: Commitments
I’m a former newspaper editor, and one of the things I learned was to edit brutally (no sarcastic comments about why I don’t do that with my blog posts). Cut out everything that’s not necessary, and you’ve got a more meaningful story. I highly recommend editing your life.
Family
While scrolling through the newsfeed of my account, I found a link that someone had posted. It read “The Birth of Jesus in Art: 20 Gorgeous Paintings of the Nativity, Magi and Shepherds.” The site did not disappoint. Indeed the paintings were gorgeous and they depicted very creatively the wonderful scenes that we’ve all come … Continue reading Family

You Are Not the Messiah
Over the weekend, I brought along my family with me to Tagaytay where I gave a one and a half day retreat. During one of the breaks in the sessions, I took my three year old daughter Robelle for a stroll around the sprawling grounds of the venue.
Family Matters
I remember being struck by a song in a popular children’s video I was watching with my daughter. The song was about families and how we have different kinds (there was one where the dad was “far away”, one where the head was the grandma, etc.). The main theme of the song was for us to accept that families now come in “all different sizes and different kinds”. Some families have both parents; others live in a single parent household; some live with a caregiver. And in all instances, you are still a complete family. The song made me realize that we now live in a very different world from when there was typically a Father, a Mother and Two Children.
