Are you craving for inspiration in your life?
You need not look far.
The answer lies deep within you, carved in the recesses of your being.
But how do you draw it out?
I grew up in a town where we used a hand pump to draw water from the ground. Sometimes, no water would come out no matter how much we pumped, especially when the pump had not been used for a while. One trick I learned was to pour a pitcher of water into the discharge. This would prime the pump and propel water in a matter of seconds.
When your creative well runs “dry”, you need to identify what would prime it to productivity.

My Testimony
The conversation remained vivid in my mind -- that day, at the Little Miami Scenic Trail with my then 10-year-old daughter on her bike and me, running beside her.
I threw one question at her: "Is it okay if Mommy will become a doctor again?"

Sunday Outreach Program for RefugeesI accompanied my 13-year old daughter to volunteer in the Refugee Outreach Program of St. Patrick’s Church. What a surprise to find the parish center teeming with people of different colors.
During orientation, we learned of their vibrant ministry for refugees from countries, such as Burundi, Congo, Burma, Rwanda, Eritrea, Kenya, and Tanzania. Greatly inspired by this ministry I interviewed Therese Sabine, Director of the Outreach Program and discovered how something this big started out so small, like a mustard seed and grew into a tree that now shelters many refugees. |
From My Kitchen to Yours
From Cakes to BreadI'm not fond of eating cakes but I used to bake it for the fun of decorating it. Here are some of my creations from more than five years ago.
But after a while, I had to abandon it because it was such a pain to finish a whole bundle of sweets. I’m no sweet tooth. In fact, when I was young, I had a sour tooth, if ever there was such a term for someone who craves sour food to be dipped in a bowl of salt. I ate calamansi for snacks (it’s a tropical fruit which is small and tastes like a crossbreed of lemon and lime). I also adored sour, unripe mangoes dipped in anything salty like soysauce, salt, or fermented fish.

After discovering my love for sourdough, it was natural to get creative with this very simple bread. I call it simple because the ingredients are so basic: bread flour, oil, water, salt, and natural sweetener, which for me is not sugar cane but maple syrup. But the resulting bread is so soft, you think I added a bunch of milk and eggs in it. And even when it had been more than three days in the refrigerator, it still stays soft.
