Currently



Here I am...

Life has taken me to places unimaginable lately...

I am learning so much about this culture...so much about my country in contrast... so much about myself wrapped up between the 2 countries...not to mention my beautiful daughter whom is teaching me to be a mama in Japan ...its a challenge to believe the fact that in March I left America 2yrs ago...how time flys...how far I have come...how much further I have to go...

Literally everyday I am meeting somebody new...I am watching what I say..how I feel..being more conscious than maybe I feel I've ever been in my lifetime..

As we slowly make this new shift into 2009...the Sun currently slides into Capricorn (my birth sign) I slip into being 36 yrs of age in 2009...The 2nd New Moon from the Winter Solstice brings us into the year of the OX according to the Chinese New Year Calendar...which is my year in the Chinese Zodiac..if we are paying attention to such things...

The year of the OX brings us into a time of Hard Work...pay attention...dont complain..just work..and deal with it...we are facing alot of new changes within the coming year...we are moving forth with a new President of the United States ...feel it..live it...and have Gamen (patience in Japanese culture) ....

These words I speak...these words I write are only words...my test is to live them everyday...and this is a true test...
