We often think about the people
who give us joy and love.
How often do we realize
it is the joy and love we give
we receive in return?
When we allow ourselves the grace and space
to love and nurture ourselves:
Mind, Body, Spirit
can we then allow our self-love
positive self-worth and image
to flow outward, touching others.
We reap what we sow:
You are valuable
You are unique
You are fantastic
You are loved.
In response to Word-High July: 30 Beautiful Filipino Words:
“Much like the colors of the skies, every language is beautiful in its own way—the way they sound and how each word fits perfectly in a poem, a story, or a musical piece. And sometimes we find ourselves wishing how delightful it would be if we could learn those languages by heart and use them in our craft.
That is why Maria of Doodles and Scribbles and Rosema of A Reading Writer have invited you to join their July blog event, Word-High July. They have teamed up to give you a whole month worth of prompts and since we are both #ProudlyPinay, these 30 beautiful Filipino words below will serve as the prompt for each day of the month.
Disclaimer: These words and these photos are from a lovely article by BuzzFeed titled “36 Of The Most Beautiful Words In The Philippine Language”. All credits goes to them.”
…and the rules…
“Here are the five easy steps to join Word-High July:
- Write or create a post inspired or about the Filipino word prompts.
- A post can be anything. A poem, a fiction, a six-word tale, or even a photo. It’s all up to you.
- Linkback/create a pingback to this post. Here is a quick tutorial on how to do it.
- Tag your post with WordHighJuly, so your co-bloggers will be able to read/see your take on the prompt. Here’s how you create tags.
- Most important of all, read and comment to your blogger friends (old and new found, we’ll never know).
Come join Maria and Rosema in appreciating the beauty of the Filipino language.
Let the #WordHighJuly commence!

^You just nailed the question right on the head! It’s so true. We receive what we put out there in the world. We attract what we give, and you’ve written a lovely poem that makes us all realize just that.

How kind and thoughtful 🙂 I’ve found I really receive what I give. As I get older, I’d like to think that I gain a wisdom only experience can bring. Thank you!
