The Yoga theme of the week

This week is all about lenghtening and opening. Lenghtening our back, the muscles around the hips, so we can open our shoulders and our heart! I love to teach and practice those classes because they are the opposite of what we see on Instagram. We don’t look for perfection in the pose, we aim at feeling freedom. We don’t want to go into the most … Continue reading The Yoga theme of the week

From SAHM to CEO: How I filled the 3-year gap in my resume (without any alternative fact)!

Now that I am diving into the job search again, I need an answer to THE question every recruiter will ask me: What about the last 3 years in the Philippines?

The Magical passkey to Thursday Door (works every other day too)

When I see a door, I hear a No! No entry, no trespassing, watch out for the dogs!
