Sometimes, in the middle of the day, in the midst of the concrete jungle, out of nowhere you are gifted with a quiet spot, bursting with colors. Happy to stumble upon “Serenity” an exhibit of florals by the very talented Caress Banson. 🌸☀️ Swipe left to see how Banson brings exactly that — serenity found in a crazy-busy afternoon. ❤️

Kicked off the last week of September with the birthday (9/22) girl ❤️ Thank you for the breakfast treat! Time with you is always so joy-filled. 🤗 Thanking God for your life, and our sisterhood @ella_in_pictures 😘🙏🏼

Perspective ❤️ Counting down to October! 🤗

I don’t always talk about my son because in the family, he’s the shy and quiet one. He’s the artist, the creative, the actor, the most sensitive and perceptive one. But in that quiet sensitive nature is warmth, caring, and a solid dependability that I’ve seen a lot of this past year. The countless ways in which he has stepped up now that his sister is away most of the time has amazed me, and warmed my heart. Things aren’t always perfect between mothers and sons, or with mothers and daughters for that matter. As parents even though we try our best, we sometimes slip up, we make mistakes in the ways in which we connect, in our efforts to try and understand our children. And they too, at times, grapple with the decisions and choices that we make for ourselves, and for them. But I’ve always been a firm believer that where there is humility, forgiveness, understanding, mutual respect, and love there is no gap that cannot be breached, nor bridge that cannot be crossed. #sundayswithmyson #amomsfieldnotes

Sunday morning thoughts on the final week of September. ❤️

Oh the places that God and my grief have taken me! Today it was into the halls of the Philippine Congress. It began with a conversation back in August 2016 with Deputy Speaker Mylene Garcia Albano about the need to provide bereavement leave to those who have lost loved ones. The inspiration for it had come from the experiences of my own grief clients. In October 2016, Rep. Garcia Albano filed her bill, and later on four other congresspersons followed suit. Today, almost two years later, Rep. Garcia Albano invited me to speak in today’s committee hearing, and I was humbled by the opportunity to speak and defend the bill that provides some reprieve to every bereaved Filipino employee. I spoke to the stakeholders as as a grief coach and educator, and as a bereaved parent. After much deliberation and discussion among the various stakeholders, the motion to consolidate the five versions of the bill to grant 3-days of Bereavement Leave was approved! It now goes for first reading in the halls of Congress later this year. Thank you, Father! May this law be approved and come into fruition in your perfect time. 🙏🏼 At certain points in your life, things that do not make sense, somehow come together. Twenty years after my son’s death, the meaning, and His mission for me continues to unfold. ❤️🙏🏼
