Correction Is Not Abuse, and Leadership Is Not About Fear
A post has been going around lately—written by a Filipino teacher—that struck a chord with many.

Wanderlust Diary
Travel has been a big part of our lives for more than ten years. It all started in 2013, when my husband and I decided to explore Europe together. We didn’t have a long list or a strict plan.

If I Could Be Someone Else for a Day, I Would Be Taylor Swift

She is an extraordinary woman—smart, incredibly talented, beautiful, and standing tall in every sense of the word.
