Yesterday was a sad, sad day. Veteran journalist Twink Macaraig (@twinkmac on Twitter) passed away. She had battled cancer for many years.
I first connected with Twink in March of 2012 because of yoga and not because she was already a well known journalist at that time. I saw her photo in lotus pose at a yoga studio and decided to contact her for a possible interview for this blog. I cannot remember now why but that interview never happened. It’s a regret.
In June of 2016 I learned she was battling cancer (again!) and privately messaged her. She never got to read my message till March 2019 when she messaged me, apologizing for the delay in her response. There was no need, really. She was undergoing treatment and I fully understood, having been in a similar situation with a family member around that same time too.

Have you ever encountered incidents that you’d brush off as coincidences? You badly need financial assistance and suddenly someone comes to pay a debt you forgot about and the amount is exactly what you needed? Or you dreamt of receiving a letter from someone and a few days later, the letter arrives? Or you have been thinking of someone you haven’t seen in a long time and suddenly you bump into her or get a call from her out of nowhere? Or you often see repeating numbers like 1111, 1212, 434, 2222 in different places? It is so easy to dismiss these incidents as “coincidences” but they are not.
It’s synchronicity.
Wikipedia describes synchronicity as “…a concept, first introduced by analytical psychologist Carl Jung, which holds that events are “meaningful coincidences” if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related.”
Meaningful coincidences. The operative word is meaningful. There is a relevance. A relationship. A connection.

Some things look like accidents but are they really? So many events in life seem deliberately placed in my way that I now believe nothing is an accident. Everything has a reason and purpose. Now here’s one more.
Just a few hours ago, a strange email landed in my inbox telling me I was subscribed to this site – Uplift.tv. I don’t remember subscribing but sometimes this happens when I register for a free wellness ebook or an online wellness summit and I am automatically added to their mailing list. Curious, I followed the link and was pleasantly surprised that Uplift.tv was a channel for short, short films – as short as 30 seconds to under 5 minutes. They are bite-sized videos that deliver compact messages that feed our soul.

Are you like me? In a roomful of people, I will be the most likely to get bitten by mosquitoes. If yes, then you are also a mosquito magnet.
Why is it that mosquitoes are drawn to some people more than others? I had been wanting to know that because then, I could take deliberate actions so that I become ‘invisible’ to these bloodthirsty creatures. So I did some researching and here is a list of the top 7 mosquito magnets.

This is my first post on a new category on my blog — ESSENTIAL OILS! For about two years now, I have been using essential oils as a wellness support in our family.
You know what they say. Nothing happens by chance. Things happen in our lives for a reason. I guess that is how my oily journey using essential oils began.
Sometimes, one needs to make mistakes before discovering what is truly good for one’s wellness. I made mistakes. For years.

It isn’t every day that I get to meet in person a global personality who I have followed in various online summits on wellness. This special opportunity came when Ty Bollinger, the mover behind The Truth About Cancer, visited Manila.

Many diets come with the promise of detoxifying the body, but their proponents often misunderstand what the word really means. Detoxification came into prominence with diets like Master Cleanse, which is essentially a juice fast involving only water, lemons, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. A number of celebrities have credited it for their drastic weight loss, but you will find that those pounds can be gained back just as easily as you lost them. The correct way of detoxing is not about restricting your body of nutrients, but flushing away these so-called toxins.
