Hope you can feel the nostalgia of that person you once loved.
Here is my article on this topic.
In short, good teachers bring the humanness to the classroom, assignments, assessments and building community so that the learnings go beyond school into life. Good luck to all students and teachers!
Hello Readers,
Yes, I am in my 50s, here is me with no makeup, no filters.
My facial skincare routine is the following (entirely independent and not sponsored.)
Morning
Neutrogena cleanser with cool water followed by Dr. Louis all-in-one Light Essence and La Roche-Posay SPF 50 facial sunscreen.
Night
Neutrogena cleanser, Aveda exfoliant every 2-3 days, followed by Dr. Louis all-in-one Light Essence. Osmia moisturizer when I have my perioral dermatitis breakouts (along with Elidel anti-inflammation prescription cream). Clarins multi-active night cream on my neck. Clarins Total Eye Lift Cream.
Other factors which help: lots of water, good sleep, work-out routine for cardio and strength-training, soul-nourishing activities (for me, it is journaling, music, spending time with loved ones and learning something new every day!) and of course, my Korean genes.
Stay young by feeling young. Imagine yourself 20 years from now and you had a gift of going back in time to 2026. How would you live? ENJOY life and love!!
Hello Everyone, Since I released four albums last year, I decided that 2026 was going to be music video making year - every time I travelled, I hired a local videographer and picked a song or two which went with the vibe of the city. So, I recorded four in Seoul (two to be released later), one in Toronto, and one in Lisbon. Grateful that I can delve into my creativity! Keep up with your passions, those things which inspire your soul - outside of work and loved ones - they fuel your heart for a lifetime! Enjoy!!
See the World Through You - Seoul
Dear Everyone,
HEART storytells the quiet moments within the heart, which impacts what is said, done and who is loved. Songs about love, heartache, tribute to Mom for teaching me about resilience, a lullaby, and "Woman I am Now" highlights how love, marriage, motherhood, amicable divorce and peaceful solitude has made me a stronger woman.

My release "RED DRESS" flirts with holiday and winter love, joy, yearning, melancholy, and ends with the confident resolution "just wore the red dress you never got to see me in."

With all the technology available and all the apps on our phones which pull us into them, it is more important to be aware of this and put it all aside once in a while, at least once a day or more, if possible.
Try this one night and next day.
An hour or two before bed, turn on sleep and do not disturb modes on your cell phone or if you can, turn it off entirely. Leave the phone in the living room in a drawer or in a closet. Out of sight.
Before bed, try to journal, read a book or think about what happened during the day that you were grateful for. Think about all the people that bring a smile into your life, from the friendly bus driver, the grocery cashier, friends, loved ones. Think of them and send them love out through your window. You will fall asleep smiling.
Try to find a time to fall asleep so you can wake up the next day without an alarm. Open your eyes and savour the process of waking up. Say good morning to yourself and feel the blessing of being able to wake up for a new day! Not to seem grim here, but one day, that blessing will no longer be true - so embrace life! Tell yourself "I love me!"
Morning hygiene routine, take your time, put on the music that sets a positive vibe and wear something that makes you feel beautiful - not for anyone else, just for yourself. Enjoy breakfast in the music, the beautiful clothing and perhaps journal while you eat and enjoy sunrise.
If you have a solitary day, continue with this set tone and you will find yourself have quiet, deep thoughts without being interrupted by a ring tone. Solo time is important for creative ideas and thoughts about decisions in life.
Turn your phone back on, if you need to contact someone about meetings or plans, but try to make that quiet morning last at least an hour into after you wake up.
You will feel more at peace.
And we need more of that in our lives.
Tell me how it works, if you want to share.
