Love Creating Video Tributes
There are myriad occasions on which I produce videos. I find the experience fascinating.
This skill gives me great joy.
This ability is related to photos and films. Photo-taking has been one of my ardent areas of expertise ever since I was growing up.
Occasions with friends and family have readily provided me with opportunities for photo sessions and filming.
These activities have given me ample time to develop my technique and versatility.
And the occurrences have been in different parts of the world, throughout my lifetime as I journey through my life.
It seems my life has been centered on serving others, providing joy, care, and compassion.
Tributes to people we honor and admire, celebrating their lives, highlighting their careers, achievements, contributions, areas of notable impact, and our cherished memories, expressing gratitude, love, appreciation, inspiration, and congratulations.
It is part of my life, and the life of others, for whom the reels were created. The memories of these video tributes can last a lifetime, sharing our 'life', even with the younger ones. We are thus leaving our legacy for the coming generations.
It is a gift, from me to you, with love.

Continuing My Journey 2026
I have been very quiet for quite a while.
Resting, contemplating, and dealing with deaths in our family over the last month.My family has been faced with a couple of our members passing away.
One family is a cousin in Venezuela. I knew her quite well, having spent some time in Caracas with my relatives. She was very kind and very low-key. The time I was there, she was falling in love with her husband-to-be.
Her beautiful spirit leaves a memory in my heart that I still treasure.
The other family member is related to my younger brother. His wife had a brother who died very suddenly. He took ill and was hospitalized for a short while before his last breath.
The feelings we undergo with such circumstances of human departure - pain, grief, crying, and reminiscing.
We feel old wounds as well as face new discernments.
My realizations from my prayerful meditations are that our God gives us His breath of life for how long He chooses. This makes us think of our time on this earth.
What we choose to do with that God-given time can be a blessing to others.
We grow closer to one another during this time of mourning. We share the memories with each other and we relive the moments.
One of my pastimes was taking photos of friends and family and saving those files in an online database.
Still today, I have many thousands of photos saved in the 'cloud'.
So, times such as these. I share photos of those members with all of the family. It brings feelings of joy, with accompanying crying and giving God thanks for everything that goes with life.
What this unearths is those we still have with us today. We then learn of others in our family circle and how we are progressing: Who are facing illness, and our call to care for each other with our love and prayers.
"Let all that we do, be done with love."
1 Corinthians 16:14
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”
1 Peter 4:8

A Guide to Diversifying Your Life
Have More Than One Iron in the Fire: A Guide to Diversifying Your Life
In our fast-paced world, the idea of having "more than one iron in the fire" is more relevant than ever. This saying, which means to have multiple projects or opportunities going at the same time, is not about being scattered; it's about being resilient, creative, and proactive. It's a way of building a life that is not only successful, but also deeply fulfilling.
What Does "Having More Than One Iron in the Fire" Really Mean?
At its heart, this phrase is a metaphor. Think of a blacksmith: they don't just work on one piece of metal at a time. To be efficient and productive, they heat multiple pieces (irons) in the forge's fire, rotating them so they're all ready to be hammered into shape. In our lives, our "irons" are our projects, passions, careers, and investments. The "fire" is our time, energy, and attention.
Having more than one iron in the fire means deliberately engaging in multiple pursuits. This could be a side business in addition to your main job, a creative hobby that you are also exploring for potential income, or investing in different areas to build financial security. It’s about not placing all your hopes, dreams, or financial stability on a single outcome. It's a loving act of self-care and foresight.
Who Should Have More Than One Iron in the Fire?
The answer is simple: everyone.
For the employee: Having a side hustle or a passion project can be a powerful antidote to burnout. It gives you a sense of purpose and control outside of your 9-to-5, reminding you that your value is not tied to a single employer. It's a safety net if your job changes unexpectedly.
For the entrepreneur: Relying on a single product or service can be risky. By diversifying your offerings or exploring new markets, you create new revenue streams and protect your business from market fluctuations.
For the creative: Don't limit yourself to one artistic medium. An artist might paint and also write a blog. A musician might compose and also teach. This cross-pollination of skills can lead to unexpected breakthroughs and new opportunities.
For anyone looking for growth: This is for the person who feels a gentle nudge to explore something new. It's for those who want to learn, grow, and feel a deeper sense of aliveness. It’s for anyone who wants to build a life that is rich, layered, and full of possibilities.
Why Is This So Important Right Now?
We live in a time of rapid change. Industries are shifting, jobs are being automated, and the cost of living continues to rise. Placing all your bets on a single path—a single job, a single skill, a single investment—can leave you vulnerable.
Having multiple irons in the fire is a strategy for resilience. It's how you ensure that if one door closes, you have several others to open. It's not about being greedy; it's about being wise. It's about loving your future self enough to prepare for a world that is unpredictable. This approach also sparks incredible personal growth. When you learn a new skill or pursue a new interest, you challenge your brain, meet new people, and discover hidden strengths.
How Do You Get Started?
This is where the loving action begins. The idea isn't to overwhelm yourself but to make intentional, small steps.
Start with a gentle assessment. What are you genuinely interested in? What problem do you see in the world that you'd love to solve? What skills do you already have that you aren't using to their full potential? Your second "iron" doesn't have to be a full-blown business; it could be a volunteer role, a class you take, or a small creative project.
Make a plan. Once you have an idea, break it down into manageable steps. For example, if you want to start a blog, your first step isn't "write a blog." It's "choose a topic," then "set up a simple website," and then "write the first post." Small, consistent actions are the key to long-term success.
Find your "when" and "where." When and where will you work on this new "iron"? Will it be for 30 minutes every morning before work? Or maybe an hour on a Saturday afternoon at your local library? By scheduling it, you make a loving commitment to yourself and your future.
Embrace the learning curve. Your first attempts may not be perfect, and that's okay. The goal is not instant mastery but consistent effort. Be patient and kind with yourself as you navigate a new path. It’s the process, not just the outcome, that builds character and creates opportunities.
Where and When Should You Start?
The best place to start is exactly where you are, and the best time is now. Don't wait for the "perfect" moment, a new year, or a period when you're less busy—that moment may never come. Begin by identifying one small thing you can do today. That single action, no matter how tiny, is the first spark that will ignite your new "iron."
Remember, having more than one iron in the fire is a loving and proactive way to build a life full of purpose, security, and joy. It's about cultivating a future where you are not just surviving but thriving, no matter what comes your way.
Now that you've explored the concept, what is one "iron" you feel called to put in the fire?
