Today was a Halloween day. I saw children wearing their unique costumes at the bus stop.

According to my daughter, her class did some activities and games regarding Halloween in the morning and had a party in the afternoon. She got off from the school bus with her big smile and good mood. She had a great time at school today.

In the night we attended the Halloween party at our friends’ house. This is one of our annual routine events.

After the party, we stopped by at the local park. There, our local community held a party. They had a live music band at the stage in the park. They put many bright lights here and there, so that the area was bright enough for us to walk around safely. Also there were many volunteer people who decorated their car and truck, and gave away candies to children.

It was a fun day not only for children but also for adults.

Today I was honored to have had an opportunity to offer a Reiki healing.

Today’s healing was different from before.

While I was giving the reiki energy, I noticed twitches on the recipient’s body. It happened only on the right side of her body.

I felt I should focus on her right side of the body. Following to my intuition, I put my one hand on her right side and the other hand on her bottom of the right foot.

I kept my both hands until twitches were all gone. By the end of the session, I felt the warm reiki energy had successfully melted down some clogged area of the body.

It was a really comfortable session not only for the recipient but also for me. I enjoyed the session very much.

This summer the people in two houses of our neighborhood moved out. One is across our house, and the other is our next door. Both houses were vacant with a sign of “For Rent” for a while.

Recently new people moved in those houses.

The new tenant of our across are an old couple with a small house dog. The husband is outgoing and friendly. The other day he came up to us to talk with us. We introduced each other. He offered us his help in case we need. He said he was happy to have a nice family like us for his neighbor. We feel the same as he does. We too are happy to have a nice family like them as our neighbor.

As for our next door, one old woman came to talk to me. She was a mother of our new neighbor. Her daughter lives alone in our next door. The mother comes and visits her daughter every weekend to clean the house.

I might be wrong, but I guess she is a single mother who has raised her daughter. She never mentioned about her husband (the daughter’s dad). It seems that the daughter has started living by herself for the very first time. The mother worries and concern about her daughter. That is why the mother visits her daughter every weekend, even though she lives three hours’ drive away from here.

The daughter must be shy. I happened to see only her back. I have never seen the daughter’s face nor never greeted her. It is okay with me. I have talked to the mother. The mother seems to be okay.

I am happy for our new neighbor. We are nice and kind family, so that we deserve to have the similar energy of nice and kind people around us.

This evening I went to my car in order to take some items from the trunk. The key remote did not work.

First I thought the battery of the remote was out, but when I tried to start the engine, it didn’t start. The car battery was out.

I felt lucky that it happened at house, where we were all safe. I felt grateful for it didn’t happen while we were in the long distance trip. I felt being protected.

My husband took the battery out from the engine room, and we went to the local car parts store.

There they offered to charge the battery for free of charge. It took them one hour and half to charge my battery. After being fully charged, they tested my battery. It was all fine. I didn’t need to buy a new battery.

I bought my car in June 2013, so it has been 5 years and 4 months. It was about time for my battery to die. The manufacture says the lifetime of a car battery is about for four to six years.

I am glad my battery was taken care of. It was the right timing before our long distance road trip.

Tonight we attended to the local community’s autumn cerebration. It was held at the fire department.

The fire department sponsored a haunted house. We have known about the haunted house but we had never been there before. Previously my daughter refused to go. She didn’t want to get scared. But this year she changed her mind. She has grown enough to dare the scary challenge.

When we got there, there was a waiting line for the haunted house. The line was not that bad. Maybe just around 30 people ahead of us.

During waiting, it was entertaining for me to observe the people in the waiting line. Most people were dressing their unique costumes.

Among them, there was a huge woman (huge in the width and height) wearing a sexy dress. The back was wide open. No fabrics whatsoever. The woman’s back from the neck to the lower back was totally naked. I was surprised how she could stand this cold weather. It freezing low temperature.

***

The inside of haunted house was well designed. It was like a pitch-dark maze, with a very narrow aisle and an unstable bridge. There were many volunteer actors and actresses who tried to scare us. There were witches, ghosts, zombies, clowns, and some animal people.

They successfully made us screamed a lot.

When we came out, our hair was covered by a handful party streamer strings. I honestly don’t remember when and where we were sprayed.

We all enjoyed the haunted house. I appreciate to the many volunteer people. They sure did a great job to entertain us. Oh, not to mention, my daughter came back with a bunch of candies.

Tonight the school held a party for students. They called the party as an autumn fair, instead of a Halloween party.

Students were allowed to wear a costume, but wearing a costume was not required. It is the school’s wise option to do so, for the purpose of not offending anybody. Due to many different religious belief, some people celebrate Halloween with their unique costumes, while other people are against of wearing costumes.    

The party was held at the school gym. The volunteered teachers and faculties created their unique games and activities for kids. The kids were awarded some candies through the games and activities.

My daughter enjoyed the party and received lots of candies.

For me personally, part of me wishes this custom (giving away lots of candies to kids) will somewhat die down, for my daughter’s health and my health. My daughter is so kind that she always shares her candies with me and my husband, and we end up eating candies in this time of the year.

After this candy season, I will do my best to get back to our good habit; no candy in the daily basis.

That being said, after incorporating macrobiotic diet in our life, I have confident that I will be able to get back to our good habit quicker and easier than before.

Today I had an appointment with the local thrift store. They scheduled for picking up our two mattress at our house in the morning. I was looking forward to seeing our old mattresses off from our house.

The truck didn’t come to our house in the morning.

I called my husband and mentioned about the delay. His reaction made sense to me the reason why the thrift store’s truck was late.

He doubted the thrift store would take the mattresses because other stores declined to take them.

I asked him to believe this thrift store would happily take our mattresses. The mattresses are in good condition. They would appreciate for our kind donation. I also asked him to have a clear vision about that.

And he did.

Then, I heard the truck sound outside. Their truck came and took our mattresses. They were happy for our kind donation.

So, here is a lesson I learned from this experience.

When we create our preferable reality, in case the reality is not only for you but also for somebody else, we need to have the same belief and vision about the reality. If there is somebody who doubts about that, it makes hard to manifest.

The same thing can be applied to other things too.

We should have a preferable future vision regarding the world peace and the natural disaster. When we run into somebody who has a negative belief about our future, let’s at least do something to make the person believe a happy and preferable future. Our little and tiny effort is needed in order to create our preferable future.

Because we are indeed co-creating our reality based on our belief and thoughts. Let’s create our preferable future together.

My daughter reads many books. The school recommends students to read at least 20 minutes a day. Daily reading has been her homework since kindergarten.

She has a good pick on books.

Today she was reading two books. I thought they are great picture books for young readers, so I would like to share them with you.

The book titles are:

I Am Yoga

I Am Peace: A Book of Mindfulness.

The both books are written by Susan Verde. Her texts are simple but to the point. Very easy to read and follow even for young readers.

I also like the cute illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds.

Today our weather was a thunderstorm. We had lots of rain and thunders all day long. It was rare in this time of the year on this area.

The recent weather report news predicted my area (South West region) would have a mild temperature with lots of rain in this winter.

This prediction was made based on the recent situation of the solar cycles along with the zero sunspot activity.

In a timely manner, my macrobiotic instructor shared her own perspective about the current situation in her recent online course. She suggests us to follow and be flexible to our intuition.

I agree with her perspective. Our body knows what we need to eat to adjust to our local environment. We all have great intuition just like other animals and all the other living creatures.

I want to keep being alert and listening to my intuition.

I believe everything is supposed to go well.

I had a dental cleaning appointment. During my visit, I usually deal with three different people; a hygienist, an assistant nurse, and a dentist.

I like the hygienist. I have been making a dental clearing appointment with her for these past years. She is a young Latina in her early 30s. She is nice and polite, and good at cleaning. I am always satisfied with her work.

She praised my daily work. She said my teeth and gum were healthy and doing great. I was happy to hear that. I have started using a water floss every day, and it was working well for me.

Then, the assistant nurse came and gave my teeth a final polish and a flossing. She also praised my daily work, saying I have beautiful and healthy teeth and gum. I appreciate for her compliment.

Lastly the dentist came for an overall checkup. He mentioned about one small cavity needs to be fixed. He pointed out my right bottom canine teeth.

He strongly suggested me to make an appointment to fix the cavity as soon as possible. He said cavities cannot be healed by themselves. I didn’t talk back to him, but I have my own perspective regarding a cavity.

I do believe a cavity can be healed. I am saying that, based on my actual experiences.

Right before I moved to America in 2008, I visited the dental clinic. The dentist told me I had three cavities needed to be fixed. Because I didn’t have any pain at all, I didn’t trust him. I followed my intuition and decided not to fix them.

After I came to America, for the first four years, we didn’t have a dental insurance. Vision insurance and dental insurance are optional and not mandatory. So, I did not go see a dentist until four years later.

When I finally had a dental checkup accompanied with a full X-ray in 2012, the dentist did not find any cavities in my mouth.

It can be considered as in two ways. It is either the previous dentist diagnosed wrongly or my cavities were healed by themselves.

In any cases, in my opinion, when you are diagnosed as having a cavity, you should get a second opinion. Or, you should change your diet and lifestyle to a healthier one, and that might heal your cavity by themselves. I believe our body has a self-healing ability.

One good news that I want to update.

As I mentioned in my previous article, I had a severe pain in my jar since the beginning of this month. The doctor checked the gum and the teeth around the area and did not find any issues.

They told me the pain was probably due to some reactions of changing season or sinus allergy. I got relieved to hear that. In fact the pain has been relieving day by day.
