I want to share my steps I took to renew my green card.

On 10/2/2020, I applied the green card renewal online. I paid the fee of $540.

On 10/13/2020, I received the notice letter of I-797C. It contains the receipt number of the application.

As of 12/15/2020, since I still hadn’t heard from them yet, I called USCIS main office. The operator told me about I-551 stamp, which can be used as an extension of green card while waiting for their renewal process. The operator processed a request the interview at the local office for me. The operator told me I should receive a phone call from them to schedule an appointment within 7 business days.

As of 12/28/2020, I still had not heard from them. I called USCIS office again. The operator told me to wait one more day.

On the next day of 12/29/2020, I called them again. This time the operator was thoughtful enough to change my request status as “urgent” from “normal.” She said I should receive a phone call from them within 48 hours business day. I thanked the operator and hung up the phone. Tom my surprise, within 5 minutes, I receive a phone call from the USCIS representative. She scheduled the appointment on the next day; which is today; 12/30/2020.

My husband wanted to take a day off from work and drive there for me. He worried about me for not getting lost in a big city. I appreciate my husband to concern about me, but he is still new to the workplace. I didn’t want him to get into any issue for taking a day off. So I told him not to worry about me.

Before I left my house, I prayed for my safe drive and “not to get lost.” But, as usual, I got lost. I usually get lost while driving at a new area. I lost 20 minutes for driving back and forth, but I could somehow arrived at the USCIS office 10 minutes before my appointment time.

Inside the office I needed to wait for another 20 minutes or so. The male officer was polite. He started off our conversation by thanking me for my patiently waiting for my turn. He put a stamp of I-551 on my passport page and told me the stamp works as a one-year extension of green card.

I am glad this issue was solved. At the beginning of the next year, I will need to go to DMV to renew my driver’s license with this green card extension.

Today I chose the topic of  “Nutrition; 栄養” as my practice of trance talk. The message I received was like this.

栄養

私たちの肉体は様々な器官があり、それぞれの器官が必要とする様々な栄養が必要です。栄養とはつまり、エネルギーのことです。例えば科学的な血液検査によりビタミンDが不足しているという結果が出たとしましょう。それを補完するために科学的に作られたビタミンD剤で補強できるような単純な数式はあてはまりません。ビタミンDというのは単なる指標、人間界で理解するために便利に作られた指標に過ぎず、本当に必要なものはビタミンDのエネルギーということになります。太陽の光であったり、大地を裸足で走り回ったときに体の内側から作られる喜びのエネルギーであったり、誰かと一緒に大声で笑い合ったときに出る笑いのエネルギーであったりします。つまり、内側から放出されるエネルギーと、自然界が放出してくれているエネルギーの両方が不足しているのかもしれません。私たちが生きていくうえで必要な栄養を考えるとき、どうぞ、科学的な数値やデータによる偏った補完方法を考えるのではなく、自然界全体の一部として何が不足していたのかを今一度振り返り、不足していたものを見つけ出してそれを補完する、という方法に切り替えてみてください。この法則は、すべての病気や体の不具合に当てはめることができます。

It was a windy day. My daughter and I made an eye mask together. It should be helpful to avoid migraine. Soon, I will need to make my pajama pants. It will be my next sewing project.

Today’s dream: a fairy was visiting me in my dream. The fairy was about a 20 cm (7.87 inch) tall. It was a girl wearing a dark blue dress. She was friendly and tried to communicate with us. There were a group of people. Among them, only my daughter and I could see the fairy and communicate with her. It was a fun dream.

My daughter had a fun dream this morning too. She was walking in the woods in the night. All of a sudden, a whole bunch of fireflies showed up and started shining the area for her. She woke up pleasantly.

It was interesting that both of us had a fun dream at the same time. Both dreams are the messages something lucky will come up to us.

My family and I made a vision board for next year. My husband took a long time to go through magazines to select pictures for his vision board. After a long time, he grabbed a glue stick and some seconds later, he said he was done. Even though he took a long time, his vision board was super simple. He glued only one picture and wrote down one word. Maybe he just wants to have a simple year that means peaceful for him.

My daughter drew pictures of herself and some dogs with some affirmation words.

As for me I took my time to select pictures and words.

My key words for the year 2021 are

– New home

– Enjoy

– Laugh a lot

– Stay cool, eat simple, and live healthy

– It’s easier than you think

My daughter and her grandma had a nice talk. They are planning to come down visit us in two to three weeks to deliver my daughter a birthday gift/Christmas gift. My daughter told her grandma some months ago that one of her wish lists is an adult tricycle. My daughter never though they would buy it for her, but her kind grandma is seriously planning to buy it for her. We are all looking forward to their visit soon.

Today’s meditation: I did the guided mediation of HemiSync Mediumship Training.

My guide spirit gave me a “thick skin.” He was smiling. I instantly knew it was a metaphor about the classes in the Japanese mediumship school. I have been timid these days worrying how the instructor and the other classmates judge me. That is why he gave me a message “mind your own business and don’t mind what others will think of me or judge me.” It was a clear answer to my question.

The answer is always within me. I just need to ask myself deep inside and feel the real me.

I made my homemade miso with soy beans. I used 600 grams of soy beans and kouji, and 240 gram of sea salt.

I attended Sunday Service at 8:30 p.m. When my daughter attended the Christmas Service of December 19^th for the first time, she liked it very much. So, she has been looking forward to attending her next one that was today’s regular programed Sunday Service. It was my 16^th times for me to attend it.

Today’s medium was one of my favorite teachers and mediums. At the very end of the spiritual communication demonstration, the MC told her she had three minutes for the last person to select. There, she chose my daughter and me for the last lucky winners.

The message was like this.

My mom was attending with us. There were also a big group of spirits. They looked like a Native American tribe. Both of my daughter and I are closely related to this tribe. They conveyed two messages.

The first message was to keep the traditional teaching and healing method through the family lineage. Both of us agreed to perform services to heal people and land. We already signed the contracts before we were born. My daughter was born with great spiritual gifts. Even though her appearance is a child, her soul is a matured soul; a very high ranked soul. Her great soul looked as if an immortal hermit or Goddess.  

The second message was to fully enjoy my daughter’s childhood. Even though she will be destined to go great things to humans in her adulthood, right now she should enjoy being a child. She should run around on mother earth with her barefoot.

I think our family spirits meant the medicine man lineage through my husband’s family. They want us to go back to Navajoland and work on the to-do-list on our life mission.

As usual, this medium’s message was always clear and accurate. The solid evidence to prove was that my daughter and I got goosebumps all over our bodies. Both of us were surrounded by powerful energies so that we were feeling hot and sweating. My daughter grabbed a Japanese hand fan (a sensu) and started fanning us. We appreciate the medium for conveying a timely message to my daughter and me. We also appreciate to our family spirits for appearing in the service. Thank you to you all.

Today was very hot day. My family and I went to the park and played with a ball. First, we played with the basketball goal. Then we went to the tennis court and played. It was fun running around and laughing at the same time. I think we should do this as our new routine.

It was a cold this morning. I woke up with a door bell at the entrance door. I knew it was my friend dropping off a Christmas gift to us. When I grabbed some warm jacket and answered the door, my friend had already gone, but sure enough there was a nice package sitting at the entrance door.

Today’s dream: My mom visited me in my dream. We were sitting at the dinner table in the living room of my parents’ house in Japan. We both were calm. My mom was talking about my dad that I don’t remember exactly what she said to me. I believe my mom told me that I don’t need to worry about my dad as he has been taken care by many people and his ancestors in spirit. Then I woke up peacefully.
