The pandemic has taken a toll on our mental health. Mindfulness can be a therapeutic technique which can help with feelings of depression, anxiety or stress. Mind.org.uk defines it as "making a special effort to notice what's happening in the present moment (in your mind, body and surroundings) – without judging anything." There are many ways to incorporate mindfulness in our daily life such as mindful movement and breathing, meditation, mindful eating, cooking and coloring and drawing.

(another) BABY OUT!

Safer Families PH only took a few days to set up. It started out as a private group of volunteers named Juan Against Covid-19: Help for Filipino Families. These volunteers came from a network of close family, friends, colleagues and even strangers now turned into new-found friends. Truly, a one of a kind of community of helpers I am in awe and grateful for. In a nutshell this was born out of grief and experience to help others ala .

It all started with the story of the Dado household being struck with COVID19 leading to the sudden demise of their mother. Even while in isolation, Arielle Dado, a young doctor, was able to gather ALL the critical medicines and interventions for her mom at the ICU. All these while being on top of their household taking care of herself, her dad, her younger sister, her 5 year-old child and a yaya and successfully isolating her 1 year old son and a yaya away from them.

In between all of those, she would send random voice messages or text messages to me and our residents group chat that ranged from call for help, prayer requests, asking for DOH resources for COVID19 and even her light bulb moments of ideas and strategies she feels can help other household stricken with COVID19 based from their experience.

P.s This is officially my 7.5 Quarantine/ COVID19 baby and I am continuously realizing and in awe that there is a vast community of helpers out there. No roles too small for everyone to play their part. Thank you to my co-parents, advisors and all the core groups and members for working so hard and quickly on this initiative. Truly, it takes a village to raise a child!

Day 4/14 of Timeout. Let's go Pilipinas!

He.Art of Healing was officially born last month's Easter Season. The initial plan of providing coloring sheets sets grew into adding a handmade get well soon and encouragement cards not only for the patients but for the health care workers as well.
