SOMETHING TO PONDER AT:
When faced with life like hers, how do you handle it? Are you ready financially, spiritually, physically, and emotionally? Are you at peace bidding farewell to your family and those people who & whom you love?

Finally, after the lockdown & all, we were now able to visit our hometown before I even go back to UAE in few days time. It was a very short 3-days visit but I could say that the time I spent with my family is worth more than gold. It was seriously difficult seeing them as we waved goodbye considering the years we haven't seen & will not see each other again for years. Heartbreaking, but that's how it is for us OFW's. I CALL IT SACRIFICIAL LOVE! Separation anxiety is real, but us OFWs', we have to overcome it for the love of family.
Also, with us is Bailey, our dog, where we decided to let her stay with my parents in the province for good, as she is growing so fast; we thought it would be so much better for her to live in the province coz she has more space to move & fresh air to breath. Guess what, she felt ill & sad a few days back, coz maybe she can feel that she will be apart with us for a long period of time. My mom told us yesterday, that she's got no appetite & she just slept the whole day yesterday. Believe me, I was sad leaving her & misses her much even though I'm not a dog lover, but my 2-months with her, made me feel that separation anxiety is real. 😔
THIS IS MY STORY! What's your sepanx story?
OFW REALIZATION:
Even Bailey, who is a dog had experienced SEPARATION ANXIETY. I could only imagine how Overseas Filipino Workers even ex-pats feels when they leave their families to their home country & go abroad & earn a living. I can imagine the pain they've been through, leaving their children not seeing them grow by their side, husbands leaving their wives, or vice versa for the sake of giving their children a good life. I'm 100% sure that it's hard, mentally agonizing, depressing & excruciatingly painful for both parties, OFWs & their families. But again it takes SACRIFICIAL LOVE to leave families & love ones back home to give a good life to the people they left behind.

My take here is, as an OFW let's make use of our time & sacrifices wisely. Make a wise decision where you invest your time & hard-earned money so that we will not void the sacrifices we have made & will not regret one day. Same with the people we leave behind, pls make a wise decision where you will spend the hard-earned money of those people who sacrificed, working hard to give a good life for you.
SEPARATION ANXIETY IS REAL. WHAT'S YOUR story. Care to share it with us?

WHAT MAKES YOU JUMP FOR JOY IN LIFE & BE GRATEFUL FOR?
In our present situation it is truly difficult to find ways to be thankful for. Some have lost their jobs. Others have gotten sick & lost lives. Even worst is, some have lost their sanity in this pandemic era. So, can you expect everyone to be grateful in life? Is it even possible to be grateful in this time of the year, with the pandemic situation?
Well for me, I can confidently say YES. It is possible to be grateful even in the midst of pandemic. In fact there are lots of things to be grateful for. .
My 2-months lock down experience here in the Philippines thought me to be grateful for in so many ways. .
WHAT MAKES ME JUMP FOR JOY?
1. Opportunity to spend time with my family
2. Quality time with my Saviour Jesus Christ
3. I was given the chance to see & develop my potentials
4. To be able to grow my knowledge & gain wisdom from books, passionate creators family & a lot more
There are so many things really to be grateful for and I'm pretty sure you have reasons as well to JUMP FOR JOY & BE GRATEFUL!
I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO SHARE THE THINGS YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR & WHAT MAKES YOU JUMP FOR JOY BY COMMENTING BELOW, SO WE CAN INSPIRE & LIFT OTHERS WHO ARE HAVING TOUGH TIMES AT THIS MOMENT!

This just proves that life is full of surprises. Unexpected things can happen anytime & you may lose everything in one snap. Sad but that's life!
Question is do you have a fall back plan? How secure are you? Do you have protection in place? How do you cope up with your lost?

Saving money for travel goals sounds a lot more fun than saving money for an emergency fund. If you feel the same way, better think again. In this post, I will show you that building emergency fund is not something optional but a must-have. This post is a part of this site’s financial literacy campa...
