This morning, again, the same little boy from yesterday visited me in my dream. This time, he showed me his figure. His face feature was resembled to mine. He was around four years old. His hair was slightly curly, just like mine. And it was kind of long just like mine. Just like yesterday, his voice was so familiar with me. It was soft and gentle as always. I know he was my son-in-spirit Daigo.

My son repeated this message to me. Create your reality as you like. He had me say this message out loud together with him several times. Then, he nodded his head and showed me his cute smile.

I understood his message. He wanted to confirm with me that I can create my reality and future with my thoughts. It is not what is given to me. Instead, it is what I create. In order to create anything, first, I need to think about my desire in details; what, how, and when. So, as my family spirits respectively saying, I am the leader of my life.

Okay now, let me get back to our family trip, Day-6.

Today we had a small sightseeing. A small drive, a thirty minutes’ drive, brought us to the beach. There, we enjoyed the energy of quiet beach; its gentle breeze, sea salt fragrance, and moistened air. We enjoyed ourselves taking a walk along the beach and greeting with the local people. It was sprinkling. We even enjoyed the gentle rain too.

Then, we went to the aquarium and zoo. There were not many people. Maybe it was because of the rain. Everything looked like shining. I love every moment spending time with my family in this place.

Our fun time went by quickly. We needed to leave this area by noon toward our return trip.

When we finally arrived at our destination hotel, it was already past 11 pm. After we took the late dinner and shower, I went to the hotel front desk to get some water. There, I saw some more family guests were just checking in, although it was after 1 am. I guess everybody is enjoying the winter vacation just like us.

In my dream of this morning, I received a phone call from a little boy. His soft and gentle voice was familiar with me. I am sure this little boy was my son-in-spirit. He conveyed a message from my family spirits to me. The message was to put more efforts into my small business to share my spiritual gifts in the next year, 2018. Spirits are willing to support me.

Then, some people whom I met in the past showed up. They told me my spiritual readings to them awakened their spiritual eyes. Other people told me my articles encouraged them and inspired them. My family spirits showed other souls too. They said these people are waiting for me to tap their souls to awaken in the near future. I was happy to know my daily efforts are not in vain.

Okay, let me get back to the story of our trip. 

It was Day-5 of our family trip.

This morning we took a look of two more houses. In this trip, we took a look of six houses in total. We liked three nice houses individually.

My daughter’s favorite was a two-story house. It was an old house, originally built in 1951. But everything, including inside and exterior appearance, was completely remodeled. The location was great. It was not far from my husband’s future work place and other freeways. The drawback of this house was its size. It was smaller than the current house. Each room was very small. There was only one bathtub and shower. Besides, the very small back yard did not have any living plants.

My husband’s favorite was also a two-story house. The house was still new; only 6 years old. The previous house owner have taken good care of this house. There was no pets’ stains. There was no pets’ nor cigarettes’ odors, neither. When I was outside by the entrance door, one neighbor greeted me. I said hi back to him with a smile. I had a small conversation with him. He said the neighborhood was quiet and safe with nice people. He mentioned about a family with two girls who are around the same age with my daughter. He has a son who is also around the same age with my daughter. The elementary school was close to the area, and it was a good school with nice teachers. I liked the house and this nice neighbor. The drawback was the back yard. Same as my daughter’s favorite, it was very small without any living plants.

My favorite was a single-story manufactured house. The house had 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, but each room and living room was spacious. What I liked the most was its backyard. It had full of living and healthy  trees and plants. There was also a spacious pouch facing to its private backyard. The drawback was the location. It was far away from the workplace and other freeways.

Even though three of us had our own favorite, we all knew none of them would be our house. We just knew. When we meet our right house, all of us will like it instantly. By then, we will need to keep searching. I know one thing. It will show up to us eventually.

Day-4 of our family trip.

Today we had an appointment with a broker for our house hunting. Twenty minutes prior to our appointment time, I received a text message from him. He already arrived at our hotel lobby enjoying a cup of coffee, he said. I liked that he arrived early to our appointment. It was polite of him.

Since he posted his face picture in his introduction webpage, it was easy for us to recognize him. Some people, especially middle aged women, tend to post their younger and nicer pictures which is at least ten years younger than now, so that we cannot recognize them in reality. He was honest in his picture. So far, he earned my first impression about him positively.

But soon enough, I found some drawbacks.

While he showed us four houses, he went back and forth the area. This brought us a huge waste of time. Besides, he could not answer any of my questions regarding the area. It was obvious he does not know the area at all. I would like to have my broker to know the area well, so that I can ask some questions about daily life on the area.

Also, I witnessed a couple of sceneries that he easily lost his temper while he was talking with other people. A great negotiator does not lose temper easily.

When I purchase a house, I definitely would like to negotiate with the owner about the price and other details. He strongly claimed “this is a seller’s market, and unfortunately there is no space for negotiation when purchasing a house”. Even if that is true, I would like to have my broker as my representative to speak up on behalf of me.

Please don’t get me wrong. I do appreciate for his help and kindness. I just have a hunch that he would not be help for me, and I will have to follow my feeling. Purchasing a house is a huge life event.     

With this experience, I learned one thing. In the process of a house hunting, I will need to find our best fit broker too. Everything has to go with a process. I am still in learning process, I guess.

Day-3 of our family trip.

In the morning, our car was completely covered by snow. I started the car engine. My husband and I took turns to stay in the car to wait for the ice and snow around our car to completely melt down. 

We drove through another half of the same state as we drove yesterday in the deep snow area. The driving condition got much better than that of last night though. We had at least sun light. Besides, we were not exhausted as last night after a good sleep through the night.

Right after past noon, we finally entered in our fourth state, which was our final destination state. It was heavy rain. It reminded me of the life in Japan. After driving in the heavy rain for four hours or so, we finally arrived at our destination hotel. My husband had stayed at this hotel for more than three weeks at his previous business trip, he seemed to be at home and relaxed. He greeted to some workers whom he acquainted at his previous trip. That made me feel relaxed too.

We unloaded all our stuff from our car and settled down at the hotel room. Here, we would stay for three nights. We enjoyed refreshing ourselves by swimming at the indoor pool. I was little bit sad they don’t have a hot tub though.

Anyways, I am thrilled to see around this area starting from tomorrow.

This morning I woke up with a clear dream.

I was a queen bee. The figure stayed as in a human though. There were many bees around me all the time. The bees were constantly supporting and protecting me. I was a leader of this group. The bees experience everything I went through. The bees learned everything through me.

Then I woke up. This was an A-Ha moment dream. I remember the similar thing happened in the reality. It was three days ago, winter solstice day, when I went to the local farmer’s market. It was a cold and high wind day. Strange enough in such a cold day, a bee stayed around me. The bee was around my head where I could see at the corner of my eyes. In other times, the bee was back of my head where I could see it in the shadow on the ground . For some reasons, I didn’t feel scared from the bee. I felt the bee had a message to me. So, three days later, the bee visited me in my dream to convey me a message. The message reminded me that “Be confident. I am a leader of my family spirit group.”

Okay, let’s go back to the story of the reality, our family trip.

Today is the Day-2 of our family trip.

We departed the desert area and kept on driving toward our destination. In the late morning, we entered the third state from our homeland.

This state was totally different from our home state. It started moistened green. Then, it suddenly changed to the snow world. At the beginning we all were excited to see the snow. We played a snow fight for a while.

Right after passed noon, our feeling was changed downward because of the scenery covered by nothing but snow. The sky was gray with snow clouds. We drove through deep snow in the mountain areas. We went through some steep up and down hills. There was no phone services available. For a couple of hours, we didn’t see any cars before and after us. We didn’t see any cars in the opposite lane. I didn’t expect to drive in this much of snow. Once in a great while, during driving a highway, we hit a stop sign. It took my car for a while to completely stop on icy roads.

We arrived at our destination hotel around 6 pm. We felt like it was already midnight or something.

Today’s hotel was great too. We refreshed ourselves with their nice indoor swimming pool and hot tub. It was a long and tough drive. We decided to reroute on our return trip to avoid this route.

Today we departed to our family vacation. It will be a long trip both in distance and duration. In distance, we will go through five different states. In duration, it will be for nine days.

In this trip, I chose our accommodations at the higher graded hotels. With extra payment, the high graded hotels will secure our high graded sleep and high security.  

Today’s destination was set at the next state from our homeland. At the hotel front desk, we were greeted by a polite receptionist. He offered us some welcome gifts including some soft drinks, chocolates, and snacks.

It was about eight hours drive. Since we know the area, and the weather and climate were similar to our hometown, we didn’t get tired that much.

We enjoyed our evening by soaking ourselves in the outside hot tub. We went to bed early and had a good sleep through the night. It was definitely worth to pay extra to enjoy high quality beddings at this luxurious hotel.

Have you ever heard of a letter to Universe? Maybe you have. This technique was talked by many people. It is nothing new.

Recently I found a Japanese website offering an opportunity to “send a letter to Universe”. When we go to the webpage, pull the blanks with the detailed requests to Universe, and click “Send.” You will immediately receive a confirmation email from them. You send the request to Universe. From there, Universe will take care of it. So, go ahead and forget about the request. Enjoy your daily life. Eventually, you will enjoy receiving the gift from Universe with a great news about the request.

So, I sent out four letters to Universe today. After I sent them out, I felt relieved. I like this process. Thank you to the web owner for offering this service. 

You don’t necessarily use the same website. You can be creative on your own method. You can write a letter in a paper and burn it immediately. Or, you can send an email addressed to you, but the letter is truly addressed to Universe. The method is not important. Your focusing on your desire is critical. 

Just to give you an idea, I set the deadline for my first two requests as January 2018, the deadline for my third request set as May 2018, and finally my fourth request set as the end of year 2018. I look forward to hearing any news from Universe. I will update of my request. Stay tuned!

Today is winter solstice. I have heard winter solstice is a good day to detox.

It is a high windy day. Today’s weather fits to Winter Solstice. The weather helps us to detox by blowing away whatever we don’t need to possess.

There was one person on this land, whom I care about. I had been trying to get hold of her for these couple of months. I called her, emailed her, and texted her. She had maintained silence. No response whatsoever. And today, finally, she called me. We decided to meet during the lunch time.

We spent around one hour meeting and chatting. During our conversation, I had some disgusting feeling in my gut area. I cannot tell exact reasons why, but I did feel something wrong.

When I came back home and took a couple of deep breathes, I felt my energy back. I am back normal. With my clear mind, I noticed the connection between her and me no longer strong. Nothing wrong with her. I am not wrong. It simply shows the connecting between us not strong as before. We don’t need to cling on this relationship.

I am sensitive in energy, so is she. I am pretty sure she felt the same way as I did during our meeting. We probably won’t see each other anymore, and that is fine with both of us.

Sometimes human relationship shows the end, right? But it is nothing wrong. maybe it needs to be end, so that a new relationship can fit in the vacant slot.

Japanese old saying goes 来るもの拒まず去るもの追わず. It means “do not chase one who leaves, do not reject one who comes”. All in all, you are all right just as you are. And as always, “don’t worry, be happy”.

Here in America, the procedure to purchase a house is different from that in Japan. After some experiences of house hunting, I learned a broker requires a pre-qualification or a pre-approval letter issued by a lender. We selected one lender and received the letter from them.

My lender offers some campaign. They have their membership broker companies. They can refer us a broker. If we buy a house from the broker who was referred by my lender, the lender will offer us some rebate money, which is pretty high amount.

One month ago, the lender referred us one broker company. The director contacted us and introduced one broker. The director introduced the broker as their “one of the best broker”. The director also stated as “we are sure that our broker will be a great help to find your dream house.”

We had communicated with the broker for this one month. I felt nothing but negative feeling about her. When we asked a question, she didn’t reply. We sent the same question again, no reply. She sent to us the house listing with only three properties. She even suggested me to make a list of houses that I want to take a look on my own. To say the least, she is not one of the best. She is the worst broker in my experiences.

We finally decided to change our broker. We asked our lender to change our broker. They assigned us a new broker.

New broker had a totally different vibration from the first one. He immediately called us on the phone, had a small conversation with us, and summarized our desire. On the next day, he sent out his research and a detailed plan of our house hunting tour. We are totally satisfied with this new broker.

In fact, I sensed the first broker was not good at all from the very first conversation. I should have voiced out my concern to my husband sooner.

Anyways, at least I learned one lesson from this experience. I should have taken appropriate action, to change a broker, immediately, instead of waiting for one month. From now on, I will take appropriate actions immediately, without waiting.

I want to share one of my friends’ story.

I met her right after I married to my husband. She also married to an American man around the same time as we did. Since we shared the common experiences such as the international marriage and the US immigrant visa procedure, we instantly became friends. Even after we moved to our destination in America, we both were blessed to get pregnant almost at the same timing. My daughter and her son were born, only 4 months apart.

Unfortunately, the first four years of her marriage had been tough for her.

She had suffered from the domestic violence from her husband. A couple of times, she had been sent to ER from his physical violence. She had been depressed from being verbally abused by her husband. Her husband had been arrested being accused for domestic violence.

One time, while her husband was physically attacking her, she defended herself by kicking him. He called the police and accused her as a batterer of violence. She was arrested by the police and stayed in the jail for one night.

During that time, my family visited her and her family. She looked sad and depressed.

I felt sorry for her. I wanted to help her out from the situation. I recommended her several times to divorce with her husband for her safety. However, no matter how hard the situations became, she never separated from him.

Perhaps, she didn’t like my suggesting her a divorce. We gradually stopped communicating. We remain friends in Facebook. Once in a great while, we greet each other by sending a quick Hi message through Facebook messenger.

Today, when I saw my Facebook page, I saw her newest post. She posted her happy family picture along with their newborn. She just had their third baby.

I was touched. She proved one important universal rule; our strong will makes our reality into a preferable one. It is definitely her strong desire and will to make this happen. Congratulations, my friend. I wish I heard the great news from her directly. But, I guess it was supposed to be like this. It is all right.

Human relationships are like the ocean waves. They come and go. Some stay for lifelong while others leave after a certain term. All is well as they are.
