Who is Therese Miu?
SHORT BIO:
I’m a digital marketer & social media specialist. I like spending quality time with hubby, teaching yoga to my kids, and all the happy things in life like being silly, mindreading, day dreaming, and baking mango pies.
LONG BIO
I was born and raised in the Philippines. I am the 6th child in my family. I have 5 brothers and 3 sisters. My siblings are my seeds of blessings in this tapestry of life.
Although I enjoyed growing up in the Philippines both my parents were living here in America. I am truly grateful for both of my parents for their persistence in making sure we had a sustainable lifestyle here in America.
I will never forget that day.
I felt so out of place, so alone in a strange new country. Growing up here was really tough, especially in my teenage years.
Rebirth- A New Light of Awakening
I was 17 years old when I attended College. This experienced proved to be transformational in terms of my thought processes and personal growth. I began to expand my mind on different horizons and really started thinking “outside the box”. The subjects that appealed to me were philosophy, psychology, communication, history, linguistics, sociology, and Cultural Studies.
When I was 21 years old I fell in love with my soul mate Jeff Miu. I am thankful everyday for his support, genuine love, and commitment to our relationship. He is really an amazing soul mate to journey with in this life together and he inspires me so much to be a better person each and everyday.
I lived in New York City shortly after graduating and started to pursue different paths. I was looking to become a counselor, case-manager, or social worker but I felt so lost with my life.
FEELING HOPELESS
The American economy took a downturn when I graduated in 2002 (right after 9/11) that looking for a job was almost hopeless.
I saw volunteering as my vehicle to get inside the doors of Non-Profit Organizations. Although I had no income and a surmountable amount of student debt accumulating I was truly happy to find a niche which I could grow into and feel at home.
The first volunteer work I ever did was for the All Stars Project which creates educational and performing arts activities for thousands of poor and minority young people outside of school. I felt like the doors of heaven just opened and I felt a big “AHA” moment. I still remember my many volunteer moments with the Red Cross and standing outside FAO Swartz on a cold day close to Christmas, being hyper and loud asking people to donate to orphaned children without gifts that Christmas.
Learn more here about my many volunteer moments. (come back for this…)
I was truly doing what I loved and enjoyed most which was helping people. Ever since the All Stars Project I had the opportunity to work with inner city youth, mentally ill populations, and mentally and physically challenged children.
When I think of all the work I’ve done with such wonderful people I feel truly blessed to have been a part of their life.
Motherhood: My Most IMPORTANT role
I gave birth to my son Jeroen Sharma Miu @ age 27. I feel that being a parent is a TRUE Privilege.
You can see Jeroen photo here.
I believe parenting is the MOST IMPORTANT ROLE in a person’s life. It is humbling and honoring at the same time.
I make a conscious effort to properly manage my family time with Jeff & Jeroen.
My son is also the driving engine that made me study Holistic Lifestyle (you can learn more here about what Holistic Health means). My family is the number one reason for me to keep on going and reaching all my dreams and goals.
They are EVERYTHING!
Let’s Raise the Vibration of Humanity Together
A Little Message from my heart:
The wealth you will receive from this blog is tremendously valuable,helpful, insightful, empowering, and inspirational. I want us to create a life of freedom together and continually raise our consciousness to a higher vibration of love. I will cover topics ranging from: personal power, mind, heart, body, soul, purpose, passion, people, and planet.
What is most needed is a loving heart ~ Buddha
I believe we can do this together as long as we continually learn to awaken our true purpose in life by sharing our wonderful gifts to the world. To live and breathe truth, to love passionately with an open heart, and to understand our inherent nature to help others along their own path, is my highest goal.
I believe each one of us on this planet has a true purpose to fulfill.
Some may be greater than others some maybe small – it doesn’t matter as long as we keep stretching ourselves to become better human beings every moment of everyday. Be able to find unity and oneness with everyone we meet and encounter throughout this lifetime. Just like a Mandala, which means “circle” in Indian culture and represents wholeness that extends beyond and within our bodies and minds, we can all find our innate wholeness. The Mandala appears in all aspects of life: the celestial circles we call sun, moon, and earth, as well as the conceptual circles of friends, family, and community.
“Love is You; you and me” John Lennon
My hope is that you continue this journey with me in the path of awakening, enlightenment, and a life of true inspiration. If we continue with this lifestyle we can experience the love and peace we truly desire in our hearts. I believe each one of us has an untold story that we can share with each other. My hope is that you will find a home, an”Oasis” in my blog. Express your creativity and authentic self and let’s continue to share our gifts to the world.
Let’s move together as an interconnected unit like a Mandala & truly live each day with passion, love, peace, freedom and bliss.
Love, light, & Blessings
Remember:
“You are the light, the light is you”

I’d love to get to know you better. Let me know what are your passions, purpose, and mission in life? Tell ME what motivates YOU? What makes you truly happy? How do you create freedom, love, and happiness in your life? And lastly what legacy do you want to leave behind?
“I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One.”
