At 7 p.m. in the night I attended a seminar about American universities. There were 23 attendees who were parents. My daughter says she is not interested in going to a university. I understand that. When I was at her age, my dream career was vague. I wanted to become a comedian (manzai-shi), an elementary school teacher, and an attorney. I hope my daughter will have a little bit more clear vision about her dream career in these two to three years so that we can discuss about her university opportunity.

I received a birthday card with gift money from my mom-in-law. I never called her mom after our marriage. I know I have to call her mom, but since I had known her 10 years before our marriage, I felt kind of awkward to call her mom. In the birthday card, she wrote “lots of love and good vibes from mom.” I was happy to read her message.

I did the guided meditation of past life regression. I asked my family spirits to show me my past life that I need to see right now. I saw a little girl around 10 years old. She was wearing a buckskin dress. She was a member of Native American tribe, somewhere in the east area. I was with other children playing with a ball. We were in a wide meadow. The sun was out and bright. Even though I was not the oldest of the children, I was the leader of the children. I decided what to do and led my friends. I always paid my attentions to younger children for their safety. I made sure everybody was fully enjoying safely and happily. When we finished playing, I went back to my tipi. I had my grandparents and parents. I had several younger brothers and sisters. I was the oldest of the children. My parents adopted two children from their siblings. We all were treated equally in a loving way. We always shared whatever we had. I was totally healthy. I played hard but I also worked hard for the household chores. My body was well-built-up with good muscles. I was never afraid to speak up whenever I needed to. People who were much older than me would come to me asking for advice. Since I could hear spirits clearly, I always shared what I heard from them. I loved myself being open. I didn’t have anything to hide physically and mentally. The little girl gave me a talking stick that was nicely decorated with feathers and carvings. She asked me to come out in public and speak up whatever I receive from spirits. She asked me to remember that I am a great leader and public speaker. People out there are waiting for me. Once I come out, they will easily notice me by my aura and charismatic energy. She said it is the time for me to come out in public. When I came back from the meditation state, I was fully energized feeling so much confident.

The first email message that I saw this morning was from my Japanese lifelong friend. She wished me a happy birthday. It has been 41 years for us to know each other and exchange our birthday wishes. I appreciate her sincere friendship.

In the morning I purchased an Annuity insurance. Today is a good day in Japanese calendar; 友引 and 一粒万倍日. And of course it is my birthday.

In the night I attended the online meeting that I recently joined the group. It was the financial group and tonight’s meeting was hosted by the CEO. I saw her name many times as they require my supervisors’ names every time I join any training seminars. I saw her for the first time tonight. She was very friendly and let me introduce myself in front of other people. While any other members were speaking, the CEO was happily clapping her hands and congratulated their success. I am happy to meet them in this group. They are all making lots of money by selling insurance products. I wish I will be one of them, making lots of fortune but still staying as an ordinal friendly person.  

The first text message that I saw this morning was from my mom-in-law. She wished me a happy birthday.

My daughter and I went to three grocery stores. I purchased some groceries that I want to eat tomorrow on my birthday. I was surprised at the prices that I usually buy. They were all raised by 1.8 times as much as before. I also recognized that lots of shelves were left empty. It reminded me of the time when Covid-19 just arrived. The people got panicked and started stocking up groceries.

After I came back from the stores, I got dizzy and needed to stay in bed for one hour or so. I am still in the recovering process.

At night I attended the meeting hosted by my immediate supervisor’s supervisor. I met him online for the first time. He gave us a brief introduction training about their business method. One phrase was really resonated with me tonight. It was 「何か達成したいのなら、大多数の意見はフォローしない」. It means “if you want to have a huge success, don’t follow the majority.” He later posted another quote from Albert Einstein “When it doesn’t feel right, go left. The one who follows the crowds will usually go no further than crowd. The one who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been before.” Thank you Takeshi-san for sharing this great quote. I believe this teaching is especially needed in this time when we are about to meet the turning point. We all have to open our mind eyes wide open and listen to our gut feelings on which way we want to go. I always want to follow my intuition and gut feelings, and not to mention, I always want to be alert on what my family spirits want me to do. I want to cherish every moment on this planet Earth until the very last moment.  

I was surprised at the gas price raised to $3.99 per gallon. FYI: Three days later it was raised to $4.39. My friend told me it was already close to $5 in Tucson.

As for my health, I am still in the recovering process and have coughs once in a while. I am thankful though, that I could stay up until night without taking a nap in the day time.

Today was my last day of flu. Finally. My husband was right. His guide spirit told me on February 27^th that it would take me for another one week to completely heal. Today was the 7^th day. I am always amazed on how accurate my husband can listen to his guide spirits’ messages properly especially about healing process.

So, it actually took me for 18 days to go through the flu. I am thankful for this opportunity to detox. The last time I had flu was when I was 32 years old. I still clearly remember about those days. It was February. I had a business trip to England and Germany. When I left my house, I was totally fine. I felt chills and body ache while I was in the international flight. By the time when I arrived at the airport in England, I was in a pretty bad shape. I had a high fever with all the flu symptoms. I could not sleep well with severe headache and body aches all the two weeks while in was in Europe. On my return airplane back to Japan, all my sick symptoms were completely gone. I remember this because I enjoyed drinking lots of alcohol beverages in the international flight. When I arrived at the Osaka airport, I was totally healthy. I was starving so I stopped by at a restaurant in the airport and had a huge dinner by myself cerebrating my recover.

My body is originally very strong and healthy. I seldom catch a cold or almost never had a flu. So, these past 18 days were really tough for me being sick. I felt myself being useless. I felt depressed. But now I am back to my original health state. I am thankful for this experience. My being sick and suffering from body ache might have been some help in paying back some karmic debts that I didn’t even notice. It might have been just helpful to cleanse and detox my body system. It might be my guide spirits who wanted me to rest and stay in the spirit world so that we would be able to have a deep discussion on something. I might have been in the life transitional stage that I need to discuss with my family spirits. All in all, I am thankful that I am still alive with my dear family here in America. I appreciate everybody and everything that I have encountered in this life so far.

I attended two financial seminars. One was about new member orientation and the other was the insurance lecture for the Japanese people who works in America with working visas. I was still sick with the hay fever symptom. I could not do much progresses rather than staying and resting in bed. I just noticed I missed my monthly period last month which was scheduled to have on the middle of February.

I had our third online meeting with the insurance agent. Today I purchased the test material to become a licensed Arizona insurance agent. I was shocked to see how much knowledge I will need to acquire to pass the test. I appreciate my insurance agent for providing me this opportunity to learn. I will enjoy studying and looking forward to becoming smarter than now.

A maintenance guy finally visited our house. Our three electric outlets stopped working on sometime in the middle of January. We requested the realtor to send somebody to fix it. Nobody had come and fixed it. We asked the realtor for the update twice but she didn’t do anything. For this one, the third one, she didn’t know we had waited for more than one month, and finally took an action to send someone. I was in bed and didn’t know how the guy fixed it. According to my husband, the guy did some type of magic and all our outlets started working normally. I appreciate the man to finally fix them.

I spent most of my day in bed resting and sleeping. Still feeling sick. I had our second online meeting with the insurance agent. Today she gave me a lecture/training about her company.

Here is the timeline for my being sick.

2-9-2022 Shingle on my right lower back and nerve pain on my right leg

2-18-2022 Chill on spines. Body aches on all over the body, severe pain muscle and joints especially on upper back

2-20-2022 High fever during the night. Still could job on the treadmill and had a sauna treatment at the home sauna

2-21-2022 I was awake and could move around only 4 hours a day. I stopped jogging on the treadmill and having a sauna treatment.

2-24-2022 sudden diarrhea only once

2-25-2022 to 2-26-2022 for two days my taste buds got keener than normal. Even in a simple okayu with a pinch of salt, I could taste the salt and sweetness of brown rice as extreme flavor. I ate one piece of my favorite chocolate, but the taste was too extreme that I could not enjoy it at all. 2-27-2022 my taste bud had become back to normal.

I had a meeting with a new insurance agent. I felt comfortable working with her. I am glad I finally find my right agent. With her support, I became a member of the insurance agent study group.
