My daughter is a very nice child. She had been the teacher’s favorite every year since kindergarten. Not this year though. She told me she was not the one. She didn’t feel this year’s teacher appreciates my daughter for being nice and kind to everyone.

I was not sure if my daughter’s feeling was right or not.

The other day I went to school for the Halloween game activity. After dealing with my daughter’s teacher in person, and observing the way the teacher treated my daughter, I could sense my daughter’s feeling was right. Based on my experience and observation, I didn’t feel my daughter’s teacher treated my daughter with her respect.

When I was back home on the day, I started sharing my feeling about my daughter’s teacher with my husband. During I was expressing my feeling, I realized one thing.

I was focusing on not feeling good about the teacher. I was adding the fuel to the negative energy.

With the realization, I quickly shifted my focus from negativity to positive thinking. I started talking about what I hope and what I desire. I focused on “feeling good.“

I told my husband I wished the teacher realized how wonderful our daughter was, and she would start treating our daughter with respect. Our daughter is indeed wonderful. She is polite. She is calm all the time. She is always supportive to the teacher. She deserves to be treated with respect by everybody.

By shifting my feeling to a positive way, I already felt good about everything.

***

On the next day, I needed to contact my daughter’s teacher about our travel information via email. I received a reply from the teacher. In her reply email, she mentioned all the good things about my daughter. She said she feels being blessed to have my daughter in her class, because she is such a wonderful child.  

***

Nowadays my daughter believes she is the teacher’s favorite. She can feel the teacher’s love every day.

I was amazed how Universe listens to my wishes and prayers, and manifests them so quickly.

It is really true our wishes are just a thought away.

We got up at 3 am this morning. We needed to leave for the airport by 3:30 am. It was still dark and cold.

We came back home around 6 am. We went back to sleep for three hours or so.

After we woke up, I felt refreshed. My daughter on the other hand seemed to have caught a cold from our irregular road trip.

She suffered from the constant running nose and coughs for the remainder of the day.

I hope she will get a sound sleep tonight and be healed by tomorrow morning.

I want to share my dream of this morning.

In the dream, I was at a charity venue. While I was walking around the venue, I was drawn to a certain area. There, surprisingly, I found a whole bunch of my personal items.

The items were my personal items I owned while I was in Japan. In my young adult days, aka in my 20s, I tended to buy expensive items without my will. I still regret most of the shopping at those days.

One time I bought a lithograph by the artist Michel Delacroix. I paid more than $5,000 at the art gallery in New York. I was just 25 years old at that time. I confess that I was not a big fan of his artworks. While I was browsing around the art gallery, I casually told the shop clerk I liked the artwork. I just wanted to be nice to the clerk; I was not planning to buy it. But the shop clerk thought I was willing to buy it. While he was happily started packing the artwork for me, I could not say I didn’t want to buy. That was how I ended up paying that huge amount of money for the artwork I was not fallen in love with.

Among my personal items, there were many brand-new formal outfits. The individual outfit cost me around $1,000 each. I simply could not say no to the shop clerk after tried them on. Even though the outfits were not my types, I always ended up buying them. And that was why I never wore the majority of the new outfits I bought.

At my first sight, I was shocked my personal items were being given away to strangers, for free of charge. I wanted to shout and yell so badly, but my voice did not come out. As you know, I was in the dream state.

Then, there was another part of me (not physical leveled me, but higher-self leveled me) kicked in.

The higher-self-leveled I was happy to see the scenery. Because, the scenery being given away was a graduation ceremony. It was time for me to say good-bye to “old-self”, aka, “immature younger days me who could not say NO to others.” I needed to see the scenery objectively without any kinds of emotions. I feel rest assured to know it was one scenery of my past; not happening right now.

***

Then I woke up.

I am glad I am not like my old-me anymore. Now I can buy things based on my will. I can definitely say NO to anything I don’t want to buy or do.

I watched the movie “Eighth Grade (2018)”. It was a good movie, and I liked it.

I don’t understand why it is rated as R. I didn’t find any uncomfortable violent, sexual, or drug scenes at all.

An eighth grader in America is a 13 years old. He/she is a student of a first grade of junior high school in Japan.

As far as I am concerned, I fully enjoyed being as an elementary school student, but not at all being a junior high school student. Entering to a new school as a first grade of junior high school was not fun for me. So, I could resonate very well with the mixed feeling of the main character in the movie.

The main character girl makes her video message and uploads them in Youtube. She doesn’t know who the audience is. She is a bit shy and does not speak up in front of many others. Her only way to speak up her own opinion is in front of a camera.

In her video, she talks like a third person, giving the audience about tips for a certain topic. The biggest fan of her video is herself, maybe.

There are many aspects of this movie resonates with me.

I write a short article (more like a blog, but I prefer to call it as a short article). I don’t know who my audience is. But I keep doing this because I am the biggest fan of my short articles. While writing, I am healed by doing so. By the time of finishing writing, I always get some wisdom from my family spirits through my writing.

One more thing about the movie.

Toward the end, the main character got connected with her new best friend who has been a big fan of her video message. I think it wonderful. I hope a similar event will happen to me too. I hope there is somebody who is a big fan of my short articles, and we will meet in person sometime in the future. I will hold onto the new hope.

I went to my daughter’s school. Around this time of the year, the school holds a thanksgiving lunch at cafeteria. Parents can join with a small amount of fee.

Today’s menu included turkey meat, mushed potato, gravy sauce, steamed corn, dinner roll, broccoli, carrots, and pumpkin cake. I enjoyed everything so much. Especially I enjoyed being with many kids.

Every time when I visit the elementary school, I feel comfortable to experience and observe many kids being kind and polite. They greet politely. They give way to adults and visitors. They give a friendly smile.

— I hope old people in this area will learn from younger kids for being kind and respectful to others. If you live around this area, you will know exactly what I mean, right? I should not say much about it.  

After lunch, we participated in the thanksgiving crafts. There were five tables. Each table offered different craft activities. The higher grade kids (7th graders and 8th graders) were the helpers and instructors.

I really enjoyed crafting with my daughter and other kids.

I had some types of severe pain in my jar and the deep inside of my ears. The pain started around the beginning of October. As far as I remember, the pain had stayed a couple of weeks.

This morning I thought about that. As of today I am pain free. I don’t remember exactly when the pain went away.

My husband and other local friends told me it was probably due to the changing season. They were right. I guess my body struggled to adjust from extreme heat and sudden coldness.

I am glad we fished the seasonal transition phase. We are officially entered to winter.

I love cold weather. I love especially cold morning, going outside and enjoy seeing my breath, steaming white air.

It feels like a cleansing by brand new fresh air. I am loving it.

This morning I woke up comfortably.

I had an impressive dream. Even in the dream world, part of me (physical me) knew it represented an economic fortune. I knew my family spirits were telling me to be aware of their gifts and accept them.

I don’t know exactly how I will get some unexpected income. I am not going to buy any lottery or invest anything. I simply will stay being open for any kind of opportunities.

We have almost reached to the end of this year. I took a moment and thought about this year.

Thankfully, this year has been easy and peaceful on me and my family. As a matter of fact I have been pretty lucky all this year around.

In the year of 2016 though, we went through lots of hardships and lost lots of our money.

I believe everything is taking a balance.

With the theory, I consider these good lucks as surprise gifts from Universe. I consider them as some types of rewards in honor of my daily efforts; rewards that I didn’t give up on things.

***

So, I interpret today’s my dream as a message from my family spirits, telling me go ahead and enjoy our gifts.

Yes, I am ready to receive any kinds of surprise gifts from Universe without any guilt feeling.

Yes, I am open to receive all the good things and energies. Thank you for all of that!! I am enjoying them fully.

It is already time for us to switch from cooler to heater. Originally our maintenance guy wanted to switch it by the end of last month, October, but he postponed the switching day for me. He knows my preference; I hate heat and love cold temperature. During these past three weeks, we still had hot days in the daytime. Thus, he let me enjoy the cooler for these past hot days.

Yesterday the maintenance guy called me. He told me he had to switch it yesterday, because the temperature would drop down from today. So, he came to our house and switched from cooler to heater.

Sure enough this morning the temperature dropped down to -1C (30F). I am glad he switched it for us.

Today was a federal holiday observed as Veterans Day. My husband is a US Army Veteran. He went to town and enjoyed receiving some gifts from a restaurant and a hair salon.

My daughter and I stayed at home alone. We played together all day. We did a play-hair-salon. And we exchanged a massage session. We watched funny videos and laughed together.

It was a peaceful day for all of us.

Whenever I spend such a peaceful time with my daughter, I feel being blessed. When I was single, living alone in Japan, I spent my days and years lonely. I never thought this kind of peaceful and happy life was waiting for me in the future.

From my experience, I know things will get better. It can be applied to everybody, I believe. If you are feeling lonely or sad, hang in there. Please know everything has been evolving. I promise you things will get better.
