Today, as I looked up to the sky… my heart whispered a quiet thank you to the Source of all things. Because I can feel it — the alignment, the grace, the gentle rearranging of life in ways I once prayed for. “Everything is aligning for you. Trust it.” That’s the message I’ve been hearing so clearly in my spirit lately. And today, I choose to trust. To lean in. To soften into the guidance that’s been carrying me all along. I’m grateful for every moment that didn’t make sense a

Oh wow… as I was walking towards the Qantas departure gate to Sydney, I could literally feel my whole body calling out for rest. And in thay very instant, I heard a gentle whisper: “Rest now in me.” And in that moment ad well, my human heart just… leaped. 🫠 It felt like permission. 🫠 Like grace. 🫠 Like the universe wrapping its arms around me. And then — as if the universe wanted to make it extra clear — I was greeted by the Qantas service manager who smiled and said, “You

I’ve come to realise — I’m both. 🌿 You see, you can only truly be a happy giver when you’ve learned how to be a grateful receiver. Because when we give out of pity, we unintentionally make others feel pitiful. But when we give from gratitude — from knowing how beautiful it feels to receive — we lift others up, bless them, and inspire them to pay it forward. Today, my heart is overflowing with joy and gratitude for Amanda, who lovingly offered to drive me from home to the air

Today, I caught myself smiling at the simplest things — little signs around me that brought back the most memorable times of my life. It’s funny how the universe finds ways to remind us of who we’ve been, and how far we’ve come. Sometimes, joy isn’t about doing more… it’s about noticing more. The scent of coffee, a familiar song, the light breeze that carries a memory home. This is how my Sunday goes — simple, slow, and softly joyful. 🌿✨ How’s yours flowing today? #SimpleJoy

Yeah, it’s the long way around—but it kept my heart steady. Sometimes the longer path is the safer one. It gave my mind a fresh map, easing the fear of flying back after what happened on June 12 (the unfortunate Air India Flight). Funny how even in the skies, grace finds a way. 🌏💙 See you in 9 hours! #SafeSkies #HealingJourneys #GratefulHeart

From Pagadian to Siargao, Manila to Cebu City to Cagayan de Oro, and finally back to my home ground Davao — every stop was a gift. Each place carried its own lesson, its own flavour of love. Nothing beats the reminder that family really is the strongest grid of support we’ve got. Now in Manila, boarding my Qantas flight to Sydney — whole row to myself, legs stretched, heart full. 🙌✈️ See you in the morning, my love Mikko Piispa #ThankYouPhilippines #GratefulHeart #NoPlaceLik

Today, two of my brothers, my sister-in-law, and I joined our maternal uncle for lunch at our ancestral farm. Walking in, I found myself behind them, reminiscing about the days when we were kids. I remembered the conversations we shared with our grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Oh wow—this farm holds so many beautiful memories. It once hosted gatherings of family and friends, carrying stories of love, friendship, laughter, and togetherness. I smiled at the sight of the old ma

Brekky with my parents this morning, and my papa’s miracle smile was enough to kickstart my day. ✨ As I sit across from them, I see the beauty of how they are now — gentle, slower, yet still carrying the spark that raised us. I can’t help but hold the double image in my heart: My parents as they are today, and the memory of them when they were younger, parenting us with all their imperfections, struggles, and love. It made me pause and appreciate my own life. Because it was t

My niece, nephew, and sis-in-law joined me on my 4th night at Apo View Hotel, Davao City. Truly blessed to have these beautiful souls in my life. 🌸✨ #FamilyBlessings #GratefulHeart #ApoViewHotel #DavaoMoments #QualityTime

Stopping by the old resting places isn’t about sadness, it’s about tipping the hat, saying: ‘Cheers for the memories,’ and walking away with peace in your heart 🌿✨ Who else feels that calm when they visit? #davaomemorial #gratefulheart #release #trauma #traumahealing

Grateful for the breath, the laughter, the sunlight… and all the little miracles in between. ✨ #GratefulHeart #JoyOfLiving...
