Do we ever pause to consider which habits and traditions we carry forward into the future? Which customs are important enough for you to pass on to the next generation, and which ones do you let go of? At Homeland, we take the time to contemplate these questions. How wonderful would it be to raise awareness in our children and make their homeland tangible? To make it moldable for the future. We believe in cherishing the traditions that hold meaning and value, while embracing the evolution that time brings. By instilling a sense of heritage and fostering a deep connection to their roots, we empower our children to shape their own future while honoring the past. Let us embark on this journey together, as we create a legacy that transcends generations. Together, we can build a homeland that is not only preserved, but also transformed into a beacon of progress and unity. May our children inherit a world where their cultural heritage thrives, and where they are inspired to carry it forward with pride and purpose. In the coming months, we will be sharing more about our project Homeland and how children can be a part of this journey. www.stonesstories.com

There is a beautiful reciprocity in the relationship of grandparents and grandchildren. As elders we share past wisdom and give a sense of stability while we have our horizons opened and even receive renewed vitality. We can also experience these roles in intergenerational friendships. Being a good grandparent or grand-friend is a skill we can work on and it can impart a sense of purpose too. #reset #relationships

Honoring Courage and Sacrifice: The Celebration of Philippine National Heroes Day In the heart of the Philippines, a nation rich in history and valor, one day stands out as a time to remember and celebrate the individuals who have shaped the destiny of the archipelago. Philippine National Heroes Day, observed on the last Monday of August, is a poignant reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering love for the country that defines the character of its national heroes. Philippine National Heroes Day is not just a historical observance; it is a unifying force that brings together the diverse cultural and regional communities that make up the Philippines. It serves as a reminder that the struggles faced by the heroes were not confined to a specific area but affected the entire nation. The celebration transcends geographical boundaries, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared responsibility among Filipinos. In a world where historical narratives can sometimes be forgotten or overshadowed, the observance of Philippine National Heroes Day serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who paved the way for the nation's prosperity. It is a day to honor their legacy by fostering unity, encouraging civic participation, and inspiring the next generation to carry the torch of heroism forward.

As we approach Memorial Day, it's a time for solemn reflection, not just a long weekend of gatherings and discounts. Here's a gentle reminder: 📌 Shelve the "Happy Memorial Day" messages. Today isn't about happiness but honor and remembrance. 📌 Resist the urge to thank active service members today — though always appreciated, today we remember those we have lost. 📌 Truly grasp the profound significance of the day — it's a solemn remembrance of the ultimate sacrifices made. 📌 It's essential not to let the day slip by unnoticed in daily life. 📌 Political differences should take a backseat as we pay homage to fallen heroes. 📌 When you communicate today, strip away the buzzwords and speak with genuine respect and simplicity. Honor the real heroes who gave everything for us. Take a moment to reflect and honor their courage and sacrifice. #MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember #SolemnTribute #BraveryAndSacrifice #ReflectAndRespect

Brigid's Day | Lá Fhéile Bríde For just over a year now, I have felt Brigid's knock on the door; she has crossed the threshold from her world into mine in many ways. My middle name is Brigid, so I feel Brigid-centred. I was born on the 9th of February, not long after her feast day. I come from a long line of Brigid's. My maternal grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother are and were all Brigid's, to name but a few connections. When my mother passed away in January last year, there was just one thing that I wanted of hers, and that was her St Brigid’s Cross. I didn't know why at the time, but I can engage in its symbolism now. The celebration of Brigid's Day as a national holiday in Ireland underscores the significance of embracing change and transition. Brigid embodies the duality of many spiritual traditions and symbolises the threshold, the space between two opposites. Participating in this liminal space, perhaps through deeper exploration of ourselves, through intuitive practices, invoking Imbas, active imagination, dream analysis, and communing with nature could help initiate this, allowing us to gain self-awareness and a deeper understanding of humanity and the other-than-human world. Through arts and culture, we can explore thresholds and gain insights into our emotions and experiences to navigate transformation and change. However, contemporary Irish society faces challenges, such as a lack of meaningful rites of passage, a loss of connection with our inner selves, hustle culture, and environmental apathy. Addressing these issues by promoting structured rituals and preserving natural rhythms can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling future. We can create a more harmonious and thriving society by recognising the importance of embracing transition and change while preserving cultural traditions. Brigid reminds us that navigating transitional periods can lead to self-discovery and that exploring thresholds offers a rich metaphor for exploring a wide range of human experiences and emotions. #BrigidsDay #Imbolc #InnerWisdom #Inspiration #GoddessBrigid #Imbas #JuniganPsychology #creativity #ireland #StBrigidsDay

On this day, OAR celebrates and honors all Indigenous Peoples and communities all across the country and all OAR participants and their families who are a part of these beautiful communities. Although there is so much to celebrate and be grateful for, we also want to pay our respects and take a moment to also allow room for mourning and grievances for all the ancestors, land, and culture that was taken from Indigenous Peoples and their communities due to the colonization of Indigenous peoples and their land. As a part of OAR’s Upstream efforts, we lift up the voices of all Black, Indigenous, Latine/x/o/a, Asian, and Multicultural (BILAM) people, to create a safe, harmonious community for all to live and thrive. We want to remind our community of the true meaning behind the “Thanksgiving” holiday - that it is a colonized holiday that is a reminder of the harm, violence, and repression brought upon Indigenous Peoples and the theft of their Native lands. Not just today, but every single day, we want to honor and respect all Indigenous Peoples, their ancestors, and all the contributions, culture, labor, and land that belong to these communities, and help dismantle the colonized projection of this holiday. With respect to Indigenous People’s Heritage month, here are some more accounts that you can follow in support of amplifying Indigenous People’s voices: @indigneouspeoplesmovement @indigenouswomenrising @indigenouswomenintech @indigenouswomenhike @nativelovestories @yourkinfolkz @globalindigenousnetwork @illuminative @indigenouseducators @riseindigenous @nativeorganizersalliance @rezilienceorg @decolonizemyself

Institutionalizing inclusion through organizational development, inclusive TQM process, accessibility and diversity
Merry Christmas! 🎄 More than the material gifts we received this season, 🎁 let us appreciate more the opportunities we got this year, and celebrate how we successfully accomplished them. Let us also be reminded of the Organizations, leaders, and peers who appreciate, and valued our contributions in the achievement of project goals this year. Nothing is greater and better than the holiday parties you threw for the team, 🎉 🥳 than maintaining good team collaboration and supportive environment for everyone to thrive and try their best in delivering superb outputs. ✨✨ I am praying not just for my personal petitions, join me in the Christmas novena for St. Jude Thaddeus, 🙏 🙏 🙏 to also pray for those who lost their jobs, seeking for employment, for those who feel neglected at work, those who did not end well with their employers, for people with disabilities who continuously look for opportunities, for employees who never appreciated by their leaders, for those with pending labor and discrimination cases, for those freelancers with worries in their hearts about the possible projects that will come their way before the current one ends, for those children who were illegally engaged to work, for those who strongly hold to informal labor, for those desiring to advance their careers, for women who experience abuse and pay gaps, for my fellow HR and organizational development professionals who help organizations to grow and be saved, for those businesses who are still struggling to recover, for the success of start ups who try to build themselves, and most especially for labor advocates and CSOs who rally for fair labor for everyone. https://lnkd.in/gUi5yeFw
