My Parents Have Relocated to San Diego to Seek Cancer Treatment for Mom
We are grateful that my Mom was able to spend another Easter with us. It should be noted that in December 2012, an MRI was done on Guam on my Mom to determine the cause of her recurring head pain. Unfortunately, nothing was found and a referral to San Diego, California was made. Upon arrival in San Diego and a review of the MRI CD, doctors in California informed my parents that an operation on my Mom's nasal area had to be done. An operation was made and she is now recuperating. However, because of the lack of nasopharengeal cancer specialists on Guam, my parents have relocated to California, so that my Mom could get the best health care possible. It is now imperative more than ever that we spend as much time as we can with her. We thank the Lord and the ongoing prayers from family and friends for giving us the strength to keep up the faith in our grave situation. God Bless.

Be Strong Families Training
The Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework training held March 25-26, 2013 at the Sheraton Resort was meaningful, and will certainly impact the lives of the participants who were fortunate to attend the sessions. Our trainers, Kathryn "Kathy" Goetz Wolf and Dara, focused on Living the Protective Factors and Wake Up to Your Potential. The protective factors are inclusive of the following: parent resilience, knowledge of parenting and child development, social and emotional competence of children, social connections, and concrete support in times of need. The trainers emphasized positive "anabolic" energy versus the negative "catabolic" energy. It is important that we shift to the anabolic energy and surround ourselves with an "A Team", which is essentially an anabolic team, so that we can capitalize on positive energy to help ourselves and others. Moreover, we must strengthen ourselves with vitality, including a healthy diet, exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness. Not to mention, Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements were shared, which include the following: (1) Be impeccable with your word, (2) Don't take anything personally, (3) Don't make assumptions, and (4) Always do your best. These four agreements are inspirational, and I aim to do my best to follow them. May all of us be empowered to do the same. God Bless.
