“SELF-CARE FOR WRITERS” TALK W/ CWF & OMF LITERATURE (OCT. 25, 2019)

By Lauren V. Macaraeg

The “SELF-CARE FOR WRITERS” talk by Ptr. Jonathan & Ms. Thelma Nambu at our Christian Writers’ Fellowship (CWF) this Friday, October 25, 2019 at OMF Literature Boni was a much-needed reminder to nourish our mind, body & soul even as we nourish others with our words. 🌱✏️🌳 Sakto for writers like me who don’t take proper care of themselves! 😂

Our guest speakers had many wise insights but these are the ones that made the most impact on me:

“Empty your cup [heart] of clutter so that we can make space for new blessings.” – Ms. Thelma Nambu

“Our words will have more power & authenticity if they come from a space of silence within us.” – Ptr. Jonathan Nambu

Thank you, Pastor Jonathan & Tita Thelma, for your encouragement, time & presence. It’s awesome how you are making a difference in the lives of our fellow Filipinos through Samaritana Transformation Ministries. And thanks for sharing your nakakakilig na love story while giving us a ride hehe. 😉💕🌞 Naks, may forever! 😻

Thanks to all my fellow participants for sharing about yourselves & your writing experiences & challenges. I honestly didn’t expect that level of fellowship from a talk but it was a good surprise. 🤗 Let’s keep writing & encouraging others to do the same. Aja! 💌

Thanks to Christian Writers’ Fellowship (CWF) & OMF Literature, Inc. for your effort in organizing this refreshing event. 💕

Salamat din po sa foodz lol. 🍪🍿🍩 Nag-enjoy kami ni seatmate Clarice. 😂 (Hello Clarice! Ang saya ng ating unexpected reunion. 😘)

Thanks to my new cute little friend Joseph & his Tita Jophen Baui for getting a copy of my book, ESTHER AND THE EXTRAORDINARY DELIVERER. And after your careful inspection, I’m glad you approved of my doodles of us both haha. 🤣 #KidApproved Stay cool & extraordinary! 🤴❤️📖
