This evening I talked with my Japanese friend with LINE. Although I’ve heard about this application and its great benefits, I never used it. I am an old school type of person when it comes to SNS. New application always comes with some fear.

My Japanese friends told me the majority people use LINE to communicate in Japan. Urgent messages are passed through LINE not only between friends but also between schools and workplaces.

Contrary with that, here in America, I never heard anybody using LINE. The major chat app here is Facebook Messenger as far as I know.

My Japanese friend and I normally enjoy talking on Skype. For this month however, she could not get on Skype due to some reasons; either the Internet connection error or the computer error. That was how she asked me to install LINE on my cell phone.

With my friend’s help, after struggling in installing, I finally could talk with my friend through LINE free talk.

By the way, my installing LINE app accompanied with a nice surprise gift.

My mom’s name was in the recommended friends list. I sent a simple message to my mom without knowing if my mom is suing LINE or not. Within a minute, she replied back to me. I didn’t know even my mom has a LINE account.

I am glad I could catch up with the Japanese communication app, finally.

My daughter asked me to sew a new Santa dress for her. With her request, we went to the craft store and got some materials and fabrics.

I normally don’t use a pattern when making outfits for my daughter or myself.

Instead, I start with creating an image in my head.

My daughter already had the certain images for Santa dress in her head. She drew some design sketches and described it to me.

Now I have a clear image of what I want to make.

I hope I will finish making it before her birthday.

In my dream of this morning, I was cooking Japanese rice porridge (okayu) for many people. While cooking, I focused on putting my positive and healing energy into the food, so that everybody who eats my food will be energized. I felt blessed to be able to cook and serve my homemade food to many people.

Then I woke up.

I thought it interesting. Contrary to my dreams of these past several days, which were the dreams of my receiving, today’s dream was the opposite. I was giving to others. I am glad that I could be in a good balance of giving and receiving in my dream.

***

This morning, I went to the grocery store. Today the environment was back to normal; after Black Friday of yesterday. The road and the store were quiet and calm.

One of my shopping lists was to buy a birthday card for my daughter. Her birthday is coming closer. I already prepared a birthday gift for her. The birthday card will be the last item to complete the gift.

At the card section of the store, I was drawn to the right one.

The card was decorated with a bunch of shining beads. They look like twinkling stars. Also, it comes with the music, “Celebration” by Kool & The Gang. I know my daughter will love this card.

On my way back home from the grocery store, I got on the car and turned on the engine. The very first song came out from the car radio was “Celebration” by Kool & The Gang.

I thought it as a nice confirmation from my family spirits. I am glad they also liked this birthday card.

***

This song brought me back to my younger days. On my 21st birthday, my-boyfriend-at-that-time took me to a live music club. The guest musician was Kool & The Gang. We were lucky enough to sit in the first center row. We enjoyed their songs right in front of them. I have a good memory accompanied with their songs.

In my dream of this morning, somebody gave me a big glass jar. It contained a full of medicine mushrooms.

***

According to my Internet research, receiving medicine mushrooms indicates the healing of sickness. I was happy to know the meaning. I am willing to receive the healing energy for my physical health.

Nowadays I have received a bunch of gifts from different people in my dream. The same things are simultaneously happening in the real life. I have received a bunch of surprise gifts from different people.

I thought it interesting. The dream world and the physical world are reflecting one another, back to back. I feel many other people have been experiencing the same way as I have been.

Today was Black Friday; the following day of Thanksgiving Day. Most stores offer a huge sale. The sale start time varies to stores. Some stores start their huge sale from midnight, while other stores start at 4 am or 5 am in the early morning. Some stores give away a $25 store gift card to a certain number of the first customers.

I used to hear my local friends bragging about their winning over the free gift cards, after standing in a long waiting line in a dark cold morning. They also happily showed me their purchased items with the prices.

While listening to their bragging stories, I would secretly felt peaceful in being me, who is not interested in any bargain shopping or getting any free gift cards.

Don’t get me wrong. I understand how they feel. I had been in the same shoes when I was living in Japan. I used to enjoy a bargain shopping. I used to buy lots of unnecessary items, which eventually made me feel regret for buying them.

I learned from my past experiences. Now I know that unnecessary items will make me feel stressed out. I feel light and energized with only necessary items in my house. I don’t need much more anymore. And I am loving this peaceful mind.

In my dream of this morning, I was a Manzai-shi (Japanese duo comedian). My partner and I were one of the most popular and famous duos. I liked my partner. He knew me pretty well so that he could bring any of my funny actions and remarks into laughter.

After one comedy live show, he had a pile of Chikuwa (a tube‐shaped fish paste cake) in his both palms and handed them to me. He said I deserved to receive these. While saying, he was smiling and happy for me.

Then I woke up. I don’t know what this dream means. I woke up happily, so I guess it was good.

Today was Thanksgiving Day.

We were invited to our family friends’ get together. This family has two children, and one girl used to be my daughter’s classmate. She transferred to a Christian elementary school two years ago. I was glad to see them still being good friends and played together.

There were 12 people at the gathering. Since everybody brought some dishes, there were so many different dishes at the table. I brought my homemade dinner rolls. They turned out very well. We all enjoyed our delicious foods.

The host couple asked everybody how this year was for them.

On my turn, I answered my year of 2018 was pretty good. Everything was calm and peaceful. My days and months went by quickly. I was surprised that we almost reached at the end of the year.

To my surprise, everybody was nodding to me. It was great to know all of us had the pretty calm and peaceful days this year.

To me, this year was a year of manifestations. I had many surprising incidents happened exactly as I wished.

***

I am thankful to my dear family; my husband and daughter, for enjoying our happy and healthy days together.

I am thankful to my Japanese family and Navajo family for their consistent love and support to us.

I am thankful to my dear friends for inspiring me and cheering me up, and staying as my friends.

I am thankful to my late son and my late aunt for their protection and unconditional love to me.

Lastly but not the least, I am thankful to my family spirits and angels, my grandfathers and grandmothers, and my ancestors.

I love you all, from my heart.

My daughter and I went to the local airport to pick up my husband. He came back from this business trip.

Our local airport is small and normally, hardly ever gets crowded. Not today though.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day; one of the biggest holidays in America. Many people are traveling to have a get-together with their family and friends for the celebration.

And so, the traffic and the inside of the airport were super busy. I never saw such many people in our local airport.

***

We were glad for my husband’s safe return.

He seemed to be extremely tired. He needed to leave the hotel by 3 am to catch his first flight. Since he feared about not waking up on time, he decided to stay up until his departure time. That made him to stay up for all night without any sleep.

That sounded very tough.

Despite of such tough schedule, he seems to enjoy his current job. It provides him with lots of opportunities to visit many different places and meet many new people there.

I kind of envy him for such an exciting job, but…, on my second thought, I am fine with my current life without any exciting events. I had already enjoyed the similar type of exciting life in my younger days. I am satisfied with the adventure in my younger days.

Everybody has their own timing to have desire an exciting and adventurous job. At this moment, I prefer and enjoy the peaceful and quiet life. I guess it’s alright.

In my dream of this morning, a huge brown snake and a real-sized green mantis visited me. Both of their body colors were beautiful.

Then, a young woman showed up. She was holding a card deck. After she recognized me and greeted me, she started shuffling the card deck. She picked one card and gave it to me.

The top of the card described “Number 11”. On the middle part of the card, there was a drawing of a beautiful young girl with her long black straight hair. Her both palms were upward, as if she was receiving something. On the bottom of the card, it wrote “Priestess”.  

***

Then I woke up

Based on my Internet research, a huge brown snake represents a good luck in money. “Mantis” is a Greek word meaning “a prophet” or “a seer”, and so it represents a spiritual being with mystical powers. It was helpful that my family spirits showed me the card, as a supplement. As a matter of fact, my life path number is “11“. So, this dream is a confirmation to me for my life mission as a spiritual being.

This morning while I was walking to the bus stop with my daughter, we felt being blessed by the beauty of the Nature. The sunrise and the clouds were breathtakingly beautiful. We enjoyed the gift from Nature.

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.
