Radheya by Samrit Lwagun

Amazing original song "Radheya" by our friend Samrit. This song was dedicated to his mother.  Gabe and I met him through our mutual friends. He was looking for a place to record and film his original song.  

I always think how amazing God brings people in your life to inspire, share and support each other.

I love his story telling through his music. Thank you for sharing Samrit. You are truly inspirational. :)) I hope many people will listen to your music and bring happiness in their heart by thinking of their own mother.

Mural : "Effort, Courage, Strength, and Faith"

This is a mural that I am working on in front of the gym area at the scondary school campus. I was moved by watching an interview with this year's Olympic Ice skater from Japan.

I admire their daily effort, courage, strength and faith in risking everything for their one big moment. As I was inpired by them, I wanted to paint a mural to inspire students to never give up and challenge themselve for their big dreams!
