I attended 3 online seminars. The first one was for international sales tax, the second one was for annuity sales, and the third one was for homeopathy. The third one, the homeopathy lecture was to explain the basic homeopathy remedies in 2-minutes each. The instructor explained each remedy in his own words with his own experiences. I enjoyed it very much. I wish I will see these instructors in person in the near future.

For the past couple of days, I had been working on application process of my very first annuity sales. Today I finally finished all the requirements and inputs for the application form, and submitted it. I hope everything will go smoothly.

It has been hot in the temperature. My daughter’s school will have the students to take the state test in next month, which is the biggest stress for the students. After the test, the school will be almost over. We already started feeling that the summer is just around the corner.

I requested the property manager to switch from heater to swamp cooler.

I am planning to get ready for the summer gardening in this coming weekend.

Last night I had a tough time on having a good sleep. I kept on waking up with the uncomfortable feeling in my stomach as well as the uncomfortable feeling in my energy field. I felt it was due to the restaurant food that I had during the trip to Pow Wow yesterday.

In my dream I was standing somewhere in a dark place, feeling scared and uneasy. All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in the back of my both knees being hit by something like a metal pipe. I lost balance and fell onto the ground. Then I lost my conscious.

Probably that was the feeling at the moment when the cow was killed. I sent a prayer to the cow and apologized for the fear and pain that the cow had to go through. I also sent a prayer to the cow that I appreciate its life to become a part of my physical body. Then finally, I could sleep peacefully.

My family and I attended the Pow Wow. They have been canceled this event during the Covid for the past three years. There were much more people this year to cerebrate their resume. Compared with the American largest Pow Wow of Gathering of Nations in Albuquerque, NM, this local pow wow was much smaller. I prefer this small sized gathering.

I enjoyed watching their dance and listening to their songs and drums. My husband was happy to be surrounded by Natives.

In the late evening at 7 p.m., I attended the communication seminar presented by a Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) instructor. While listening to the instructor, I remembered one of my friends mentioned about this seminar several years ago. It was a great reminder about the importance of putting respect while communicating with our children.

Today we finally finished inputting all the data for the tax return filing and successfully submitted the filing. We usually submit it at the beginning of February, but not this year. I have been so occupied with lots of things in these past two months. I still have so many items in my to-do list.

In the evening at 6 p.m., I attended the online lecture about natural birth. The speaker is a Japanese midwife. She is also a certified homeopath and loves homeopathy, so that she encourages the expectant mothers to have a natural birth with the support of homeopathy.

While I was listening to her lecture, I thought of my pregnancy days and labor. I wanted to have a natural birth with the support of a midwife like her, but I could not find the right one for me. I had my labor at the hospital. I brought my homeopathy kits and the guide books with me. When one of the nurses caught me taking homeopathy remedies, she overreacted. She quickly went back to the nurse station and reported them what she saw. Then, she came back to me with her supervisor. The supervisor nurse yelled at me to stop taking homeopathy remedies right away saying that the hospital didn’t allow to take any other mediations rather than their prescribed ones. She also warned me if I don’t listen to them, they had no option but kick me out from the hospital. I was in the midst of the labor. My labor had begun at the previous night with water break, and I was in the midst of suffering the contractions. I needed to put my homeopathy kits and guide books in my bag.

There were lots of regrets during my labor, but still, it is a past. I should focus on the happiness that I am provided right now. My husband and I are thankful that my daughter came to us safely.

Mine was already past, but I am wiling to support anybody who is willing to have a natural birth with the support of homeopathy in the future.

When I talked with my dad on the phone last night, he was asking when I would be able to visit him in Japan. He asks me this same question every time when we talk on the phone. On our last phone conversation at the New Year’s Eve of last year, without thinking, I answered my dad it might be this coming May. But to be honest, I am still reluctant to take a long hour international flight to Japan anytime soon.

That being said, I wanted to know the price and the condition about the trip back to Japan. I called the travel agency and asked about the airplane ticket price. The round trip for this October was $1,444 per adult, which was not bad at all. Last time when I called about the round-trip price in 2021, it was about $5,000 per adult. I could have reserved the ticket today, but I postponed. The travel agency’s agent told me that it would be still tough for the people who didn’t have the vaccine more than three times due to the PCR result within 72 hours before the departure and other mandatory procedures to report to the government. I guess I should wait until October, or possibly sometime in next year. I know that one of these days these mandatory processes will be terminated.

In the early evening at 5 p.m., I attended the online Reiki gathering. Today’s gathering was for Americans and Mexicans. There were more than 50 attendees. The teacher seemed to be very happy that the Reiki philosophy has been taught and passed it down to a variety of age group in many different countries.

In my dream of this morning, my dad was visiting me. We were at a station to take Shinkansen (bullet train). My dad and I took the Shinkansen and traveled together. When we arrived at a certain station, my dad stood up from seat and got off the train. I quickly followed him. On the next second, he was already walking down the stairs to the ticket area. I tried to catch up with him and called him. Now he was running fast as if he was in his teens. He was healthy and fit. While he was running down the stairs, he talked to me telepathically that he would be okay. Then I woke up.

I didn’t worry about him. I had good feeling about him. But I thought maybe I should check on him, because I haven’t called him for more than 3 months. The last time I called him was the New Year’s Eve in America, which was a New Year’s morning in his time.    

In the evening around 7 p.m., I called my dad. He picked up the phone within the second ring. His voice sounded much slower than the last time, but still, he sounded happy. He was not mad at me for my not calling him often. We exchanged some cheerful words to each other and ended our short conversation.
