Another Day With MaryJane
by MaryJane Salomon
Every day is a new day and is a blessing that we should be grateful for. Another Day With MaryJane started last week of November 2022 out of curiosity. Initially, I just shared random thoughts, collection of my personal anecdotes, usually raw, unedited and unscripted. Just for fun. No content strategy. No branding strategy. We will improve as we go forward together, I declared then. For 2023, I was absent for the first 2 quarters. I restarted again at the beginning of Q3. And this time around, I shall be more focused as I discuss bits and pieces of different topics that we care about.
Episodes
-
Standing with young leaders
Being a keynote speaker was never about standing in front. It was about standing with young people ready to shape the future and who are brave enough to dream bigger, push harder, and demand a more sustainable future. Titles fade. Opportunities shift. What truly matters is the message you bring…

Why Being an Ambassador Is More Than a Title—it’s Responsibility
When I was appointed as an ambassador for Philippine Made, Proudly Mine, my first thought wasn’t about the recognition or the title. It wasn’t about adding another line to my résumé or another feather to my cap. My first thought was about the people. The countless hardworking Filipinos who…

Pride, Purpose, Progress
August has been an amazing ride—one that reminds me why I do what I do. This episode isn’t about bragging, it’s about sharing wins that matter—not just to me, but to the communities and causes I serve. So let me walk you through three highlights that made this August unforgettable, where purpose...

Be humble But Know Your Power
You cannot be humble if you don’t know your power. Let’s get that straight. Humility isn’t about shrinking yourself. It’s not about being quiet in rooms where you’re meant to lead. It’s not about dimming your light so others can shine.But here’s the secret: True humility? It’s knowing exactly…

Let’s control the flooding
Flooding is a problem that has been going on years and years and tons and tons of money are being put in place to provide for flood control taking into consideration that typhoons in the Philippines are always there every year and so people now are already disappointed are already angered with...
-
Manny Pacquiao is back
At 46, Manny Pacquiao walked into the ring not as a nostalgia act, but as a living symbol of resilience, willpower, and the indomitable human spirit. Against a younger, reigning champion in Mario Barrios, Pacquiao didn’t just hold his own—he dominated large stretches of the fight. For nine…

Take care of your parents
Taking care of your parents is not a burden—it’s an honor. It’s love returning full circle. It’s the chance to give back a fraction of the care they poured into us, often silently, sacrificially, and without asking for anything in return. You see, in a world that glorifies ambition, schedules…

The Joy in the Giving
We were all born with something special. A voice. A gift. A creative spark. A skill to lead. A heart that listens. But our talents don’t reach their full potential when we keep them hidden or hoard them out of fear. We find meaning in our gifts when we give them away. In service. In community. In...
-
Today is joyful Sunday
Today, 13 July 2025, I celebrate a meaningful milestone—100 #LinkedIn followers who believe in this vision, who see the value of creativity with purpose, and who are joining me in shaping the future of the creator economy. More than the numbers, and my goal is to reach 1,000 followers before the...
-
Leading with grace and grit
You can lead with grace and still carry grit. You can be soft, and still be strong. We often think of strength as being unshakeable, guarded, or hardened.But I believe some of the strongest people I’ve ever met… are the softest ones. They lead with empathy. They respond with humility. They carry...
-
The cost of success
We live in a world where success is often celebrated at any cost. Where ambition is rewarded, even if it leaves others behind. Where results matter more than integrity. Where applause is louder than accountability. But let me say this clearly: Success without conscience is just a performance. It...
-
Walk in your purpose
We grow up being trained to ask for approval—before we speak, before we act, before we lead. But purpose doesn’t wait for permission. And calling doesn’t require consensus. If you’re waiting for someone to validate your dream, your voice, your next step—you might be waiting forever. Some people...
-
Dreaming out load
We’re often told to stay quiet about our plans. To keep things to ourselves until they’re finished, proven, or polished. But I believe in faith-filled declaration—in speaking what you’re believing for, even when it hasn’t arrived yet. When you speak your goals out loud, you give them space to…
more -
Kindness as a Legacy
We don’t practice kindness for reward. We do it because it’s who we are. Because in a world that often feels cold or chaotic, choosing to be kind is a radical form of leadership. So today, whether you’re facing challenges, or walking through joy—lead with kindness. Because in the end, our…

Where Ego Ends, Service Begins
It’s easy to serve when the cameras are rolling. It’s easy to give when the spotlight is on. But what about the quiet acts? The unseen moments? The choices made when no one is keeping score? True public service is not about how many people follow you—it’s about how many people rise because of…
more -
Blessings in the delay
Life doesn’t always move on our schedule. There are moments when we pray, plan, push—and still, nothing seems to happen. Doors remain closed. Answers are delayed. And it’s easy to feel like the universe has forgotten us. Delays are not denials. Sometimes, they are divine detours. A pause not to...
-
The Power of Showing Up
Every time you show up—when it’s hard, when it’s inconvenient, when no one is watching—you are succeeding. You are planting seeds. And over time, that presence becomes your legacy. I have seen people with perfect resumes who vanish when the work gets hard. And I have seen ordinary people change...
-
Leadership is not inheritance
Leadership is not inheritance — it is service. And we owe it to our youth to show them that integrity, merit, and genuine public service still matter. We are a nation confronting deep challenges — from the ongoing education crisis to the growing normalization of political dynasties that treat...
-
Continue to Dream Big
Because when you think big, you don't just change your life—you create a space where others can rise, too. They say one bold vision can change everything—not just for you, but for everyone around you. And I’ve found that to be true over and over again. It has a ripple effect. So keep on dreaming...
-
Whatever Happens Be A Blessing To Others
Healing doesn’t just come from rest—it comes from purpose. From staying positive when it’s easier to spiral. From holding onto hope when fear knocks loudest. No, I won’t romanticize pain. But I also won’t let it define me. What defines me is the energy I protect, the boundaries I set, and the…
more -
Stronger Than Ever
There’s a phrase we’ve all heard: “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” It’s been quoted in songs, speeches, and stories of survival. But it hits different when you’ve lived through something that could have broken you. Let me tell you something—strength isn’t just about bouncing back. It’s...
-
The Power of Positivity
My good test results are a blessing. But I also believe they are the fruit of something deeper: my commitment to stay aligned with peace, to rest when needed, to protect my inner life fiercely, and to keep a heart full of hope. If you’re listening to this today, let me remind you: your mind and...
-
Beyond The Image is What Truly Matters
Real success is never instant. And anyone who has built something that lasts didn’t fake it—they worked for it. They didn’t rely on hype or shortcuts. They showed up every day, even when no one was watching. There is nothing admirable about pretending to be what you haven’t earned. What’s…
more -
Belief and Gratitude
One of the most powerful gifts you can give someone—is belief. Not in what they’ve already accomplished, but in who they can become. In their potential. In the unseen, unshaped brilliance still waiting to unfold. As a leader, a mentor, a friend, I’ve learned that believing in people’s potential...
-
Becoming More
There are seasons in life when we feel the shift. When the pace we’ve been keeping no longer serves us. When what used to fulfill us suddenly feels heavy and uncomfortable. When stepping back is the best recourse. And when moving forward requires something deeper than momentum—it requires...
-
There is Wisdom in Stepping Back
There’s wisdom in knowing where you end and where someone else begins. Boundaries aren’t walls. They’re bridges to healthier relationships, clearer communication, and deeper self-respect. And they are not just for others—they’re for you, too. Minding your own business is not indifference; it’s...
-
Be Honest. No Apologies Needed.
There’s a quiet power in living truthfully—not for others, but for yourself. Too often, we’re conditioned to consider how our choices will be received by others before we even ask if those choices are right for us. We spend time explaining, softening, and compromising, all in the name of keeping...
-
Focus and Stay The Course
Staying the course means choosing focus over noise. It means knowing your values so deeply that even when life tries to pull you in different directions, you don’t lose your center. This past weeks reminded me how easy it is to get sidetracked. One moment you’re on track, the next you're…
more -
Letting Go Is An Act Of Faith
Letting go is one of the hardest things we’re asked to do as human beings. Whether it’s pain, people, positions, or even expectations—we often hold on tightly, believing that our strength lies in our ability to endure. Convincing ourselves that we can still hold on. Denying and delaying things to...
-
Tap Your Emotional Resilience
Emotional resilience is not about being unaffected. It’s about being anchored. It’s about knowing that you don’t need to prove your worth through struggle—you affirm it by how you rise with intention, authenticity, and quiet courage. You are not weak for feeling deeply. You are not less for…
more -
Appreciate The Gift Of Survival
Survival is not just about walking away from something—it’s about waking up to something. It forces you to pause and examine everything- Live better. Live clearer. Live lighter. But above all, live with intention. We often treat life like it will always make room for us to catch up, fix things…

You Are Your Energy, Own It And Protect Your Peace
Our presence—whether physical or simply in spirit—is a gift. Life is short. If your presence isn’t being valued, maybe it’s time to refocus your energy. Give it to people and places where it matters, where it’s appreciated. Let’s open our lives to the ones who genuinely celebrate our worth, who...

Mother’s Day Episode
To my mother, Thank you for your love, your strength, your faith, and your presence. At 89, you’re still teaching me that being is enough. That silence can be healing. Your stillness has been my sanctuary. And to every mother, every daughter, every woman listening today—I honor you. You may not...
-
Healing Is Not One Straight Line
Healing is anything but linear. It’s a process and it asks us to sit with the uncomfortable. It teaches us to rest. It teaches us to listen—to our bodies, to listen to our hearts, and the quiet spaces, the silence, in between. Through the tears, the my writing, my journaling, the long talks with...
-
The Day I Almost Did Not Make It
I almost didn’t make it. There’s no other way to say it. It was a miracle I survived. And it has taken me days to even find the strength to talk about it out loud. Physically, I’m recovering. But emotionally... that’s where the real healing begins. We don’t always get a second chance. But if we...

Growth is never easy but is worth it
Growth is never easy, but it’s always worth it. Challenges push us to be stronger, lessons teach us what we need to grow, and moments of gratitude remind us how far we’ve come. Every struggle shapes us, every experience guides us, and every small win is a reason to be thankful. Embrace the…

May the works that I have done speak for me
Spending time with the children I’ve been mentoring is a powerful reminder that true impact isn’t about words—it’s about the actions we take and the lives we touch. It’s more than just a responsibility; it’s a commitment to their dreams, their potential, and their future. Every conversation…

Your mindset is your superpower
Mindset is your superpower. As I sit here in my home in the province, listening to the rain and waiting for it to pass, I’m reminded how much success is like the weather. We can’t control the storms that come our way, but we can control how we prepare and respond. Success starts with the right...

Let life shape you into something greater
Life will knock you down—it’s inevitable. But here’s the real question: will you let it define you, or will you rise from it stronger? We’ve all faced hardships, and I’ve had my fair share. But I’ve learned that it’s not the setback that matters—it’s what you do after.

Uncovering The Leader In You
Leadership goes beyond formal titles or positions of authority. It's about how you act and the influence you have on others. It is more about your actions and how you make use of your influence to empower others than it is about holding a specific title or position. It's about inspiring,...
