In my Facebook timeline, I see Christian activists’ posts as well as supportive comments for them. The posts are about gay and lesbian people. They say Jesus will forgive them if they confess and apologize for their wrong deeds, and ask for support to get back to normal.

I disagree. They don’t need any forgiveness from anybody. Their deeds are not wrong at all.

The souls who are incarnated as gay and lesbian are brave souls who are willing to see things from different angles. Before they were born, they knew their life would be tough, but they agreed to do so. For this reason, I respect these souls. They are strong and matured souls so that they can handle such a high hurdle in life. Through their life, they would gain new perspectives that are different from the majority people. They also provide the same opportunities to learn new perspectives with their family, relatives, and friends. I support their divine decisions.  

Who said gay and lesbian are wrong? The community, society, and tradition have created such stereo typed concepts for their own convenient purpose. Maybe the community leader wanted its people to have many children so that the children can grow up as a soldier in case of war, or a farmer so that they can feed enough food to its community people.

Let’s get back to the universal truth. Only in this physical world, souls have agreed to be recognized as only one sex; male or female. The main purpose is to give a baby birth. It is totally fine with me when some souls decide not to have their own babies and live life as a unique being.

We should remember the original state. We all are souls. As a soul, we are not a man nor a woman. A soul is not recognized as either sex. Each soul is recognized as their own unique personality and tendency.

I want to share my personal experience.

When I was in my early 30s, I became a good friend with one man. We got along with each other very well. We went here and there together. We exchanged our opinions and shared our knowledge. I always enjoyed spending time with him. As the time went by, I started desiring to take one or two more steps to transform our relationship from friendship to romantic one. I told him how I felt about him. After several minutes pause, he told me he was gay. He did not have any desire to have a romantic relationship with a girl.

I felt like as if I were hit by a metal baseball bat by my head. I actually saw some twinkling stars in front of my eyes. I even lost conscious for a while. I don’t remember how I went back to my home.

After I came back to my home, I prayed that he would change his preference and start loving me as a girl. So, as always, I talked to my family spirits what I felt and what I desired. Then, they showed me the spirit world where all the spirits enjoyed expressing themselves without any limitations. Compared with the life in spirit world, all the incarnated souls, here on Earth, are living our lives with a whole bunch of limitations.

After the intense conversation with my family spirits, I was fully aware that my guy friend did not have to change his decision for me. The truth stays the same. The important true for me is I like him and respect him as he is. Love is there. Love does not need to be only in a romantic relationship. Love is everywhere, in all kinds of different relationships as in friendship, family, teacher and student.  It is okay to come out from a box (which represents a limitation or stereo typed concept). We are all free.

At last, for the people who agree with my opinion and who are willing to support such brave souls, I would like to recommend you to watch this TED Talk; How the worst moments in our lives make us who we are by Andrew Solomon. Toward the end, he shared his story of his 4-year-old son at his birthday party. You will love this part the most, as I did. I wish many people will stay being pure as his son so that we can love people through our spiritual eyes, not through the certain stereotyped criteria that the society created for their own convenience.

In my early 20s, I once heard this story from one of my ex-boyfriends.

He grew up in a country side where there were no fun places such as parks nor stores to hang out. During summer time, there were a whole bunch of frogs. As a young boy who desperately needed fun stuff to engage, he once got a brilliant idea. It went like this.

He caught a frog and stuck a skinny straw into its but. He brew air into the frog body. The frog eventually exploded. He thought it so funny that he kept on doing that to all the other frogs that he could find.

On that night, he had sleep paralysis. His body was not movable, but his conscious was back. He felt heavy feeling on his both shoulder. He saw a huge ghost frog was on his body glaring at him. He got scared with goosebumps all over his body.

The ghost frog told him something like this. “How dare you killed all of us. You killed us just for fun. Do not do that anymore.”

At this moment, he finally felt sorry for all the frogs that he killed for fun. He apologized for his wrong deeds and promised not to do that again. With his sincere statement, the ghost frog accepted his apology and disappeared.

I decided to share this story because I see and hear school children easily kill bugs, lizards, and horned toads. They are harmless. I wish I will have an opportunity to share this story to kids.

I had an opportunity to read someone’s palm lines. The person was a married woman. She didn’t have any specific questions. Her main concern was about her husband. She described some aspects that she disliked about her husband.

When she opened her both palms, the first impression that came into me was her disliked personalities about her husband. Her palms clearly showed that she had the same personality.

There are many patterns we can see in a married couple. When it comes to marriage, there is no coincidence. In my opinion, nobody can get married without their family spirits’ consent. Every marriage has its purpose. It is a great process and opportunity to learn and discipline our soul. Some people marry to a person who has the similar personality, while others marry to a person who has the opposite personality.

I felt this person married to a person who has the similar personality with her. They work each other as a mirror.

Do you like looking yourself into a mirror? When you love yourself and accept yourself fully as you are, then you like looking yourself. When you don’t love yourself, you don’t like looking yourself.

In this case, I felt I should convey this message to her. I suggested her to know herself first. Her palm lines show that she has all the personalities that she mentioned about her husband. At first she refused that, but eventually she agreed that she had. She also agreed that she doesn’t like that part of her personality. When she sees that in her husband, she irritates by that.

So, the first challenge for her is to admit that she has the personalities that she hates about her husband. Then, the second challenge is to make efforts to love herself. Once she can fully accept herself and love herself, her way to see her husband will change. She might appreciate him even more to work as a mirror.

It is much easier to appreciate and love, rather than to hate and push away. Appreciation and love will bring satisfaction and happiness.

My daughter often mentioned about her classmate having a watch phone. It sounds like a spy equipment. It intrigued me enough to drag me to the Verizon store.

The watch phone is called GizmoPal® 2. The device was $79.99, and the monthly fee is just $5, without adding any extra fee of phone calls and texts. It is much cheaper than I thought. It is actually reasonable price.

I liked the functions too. The parents can set up to 4 phone numbers to make and receive phone calls and text messages. This device is equipped with GPS function that parents can know where their child is. Also, it allows parents to set quiet mode for the class hours.

I was amazed. From other users’ reviews, I learned some users are 5 years old or 6 years old children. It makes me giggle when I imagine such young children using a watch phone. It is very helpful for children.

I am far from the forefront people in technology and fashion. I am a granny inside. I have been making my best efforts to catch up with other people, but I am definitely in the last group with other grannies.

When the cell store worker saw my cell phone, he said “Oh! It is an old versioned one.” I didn’t get offended. It is alright with me. I don’t need to have anything with the cutting edge technology. I am satisfied with what I currently have.

In my daily life, I frequently observe people who have different morals from mine. They casually trash their trashes on the street.

I observe school kids trashing wrapping papers and plastic bags after they finish eating candies and snacks on the street. I see the same actions even from adults.

Let me share my experience from observing one of my acquaintances who is in her 60s. Every time when I gave her a ride, she threw away her trashes such as candy wraps and used facial tissues in the car. I also witnessed her doing the same when we got a ride from other people.

Here is another example.

One day I was walking back home from the school bus stop with a girl who lives in our neighborhood area. She suddenly stopped walking and took out one paper from her backpack. The paper seemed to be a test that she took at the class. The paper included some comments written in read. Perhaps, her teacher wrote down some comments in red. It might be some advice to her or her parents.

I thought she would show me the paper, but her action was beyond my imagination. She crumbled the paper and threw away on the street. I couldn’t believe what I saw.

Long time ago, I said one person not to trash on the street or in the car. I gently suggested to take her trashes back home and trash them at home, instead of scattering in public area. I didn’t mean to offend her, but obviously she was mad at me. She defensed herself like this. “Any trash on the street will be blown off to somewhere. Any trash in the car should be taken cared by the car owner.”

Sadly, there will be many other people who will feel the same way as her. That is why I have completely stopped saying anything to these people.

To me, scattering on the street is a bad moral. It is a rude action to Mother Earth. It is like spitting to her face. I would not do that. Same thing goes to scattering in somebody’s car. It is a bad moral.

Moral is up to the individual. It stems from the person’s culture or tradition. I grew up in the environment where we believe spirits everywhere. Even when nobody is watching you, spirits are watching you. We should pay attention if our small deed is right or wrong. I want to keep showing my deepest respects to nature, people, and all the living creatures. My moral might sound wrong to some people. I think it is okay. I just keep living my life by following my moral.

I received an email from my mom. She told me that she was planning to talk about her wish on how she ends this life, during my upcoming visit in Japan. I got relieved to know that she is now ready to talk about this topic. Several years ago when I asked my mom about her desire about a last will and testament, inheritance money, funeral, and a graveyard, she got furious and stopped talking to me. At that time, talking about death was still a taboo, maybe.

To me, talking about after my death to my family is critical. So I often and casually talk about my death and my desire after my death.

Coming into this world and coming out from this world are equally critical. On birth, we carefully prepare for a baby’s arrival. During the pregnancy for 9 months, the mom takes the prenatal vitamins, has a doctor’s appointment regularly, and constantly feels the baby’s existence in her own body. The dad prepares for the baby’s environment and starts saving money for the new family member.

Why not about death? We need to prepare for our death, just like a preparation for a birth. A good preparation brings to an easy transition. When we prepare well for our death, when we communicate well about our desire after our death to our loved ones, once the right time has come for us to leave this physical realm, our soul can have a smooth transition. It is crucial not only for ourselves but also our loved one who will stay in this physical realm for little bit longer than us.

So, let’s not be afraid on talking about our death. Let’s have a good preparation.

Today I went to the dental appointment. This is my sixth and last appointment for this year. This year I worked on fixing the fillings in molars from metal to tooth colored resin.

I remember my teeth was bad even when I was very small. In my younger day’s pictures, my front baby teeth was all rotten with black color. Maybe, it might stem from certain chemicals that my mom consumed during her pregnancy. I don’t know the exact reasons.

I clearly remember that I used to envy my friends and classmates who have healthy white teeth. I used to think it was unfair.

Now that I am an adult, I don’t think it is unfair. Because I know I am the one who chose all the conditions and environment for this lifetime. All I can do is to make effort on what I can do with the conditions that I am provided.

With my experiences, at least I can do my best to protect my daughter’s good health. As for everything what I suffered, I want to cut the biological cord for my daughter, so that she does not need to suffer like I did. As for everything what I appreciated, I want to pass it down to my daughter, so that she can appreciate too.

When the time has come for my daughter to have her children, I want her to do the same. Pass down the good family heritage, and cut the cord from the bad and unnecessary heritage. That way, my descendants will prosper.

I know everything I do will impact on my descendants. May everything I do be beneficial for my descendants.

I woke up with loud noise from the early morning. When I went outside, I noticed a huge moving truck parked in front of our next door. I raised my right fist in the air saying “Yay”, only in my mind. Our next door people moved out, and it was my little wish came true.

They were a family of 5 people; husband, wife, and three little children including a baby.  Both of the husband and the wife were smokers and they constantly smoked in the back yard. The uncomfortable cigarette smell would come into our house through windows. Very often, the husband turned on a radio with unbelievably loud volume in the early morning like 5 am. And, they frequently threw a party inviting a bunch of people. During the party, as they got drunk, their voice got louder and louder. Their laughing and shouting voices continued until after midnight, like 2 or 3 in the morning.  

I secretly wished and hoped they would move out soon. So, now it is happening.

I believe many of you have been experiencing something similar recently. This year, the distance between this physical world and spirit world is getting closer due to the vibrational uplifting. So that our wish in our mind is getting easily manifesting.

This morning at the school bus stop, my daughter and I had an interesting experience.

All of a sudden, a big yellow butterfly, maybe about 4 inches wide (10 cm) approached to us and landed on my left shoulder for several seconds. My daughter and I looked at each other’s eyes with surprise.

After the big butterfly left from me, my daughter congratulated me saying the butterfly brought me some good luck.

Right after when she finished saying she wished it happened to her too, a middle sized yellow butterfly, this time it was about 2 inches wide (5 cm), approached to my daughter and landed on her left lower back for several seconds.

We thought “wow”. We sure enjoyed these cute visitors this morning.

The yellow butterfly represents a messenger from spirit world. Both of us sensed something happy and exciting from the butterflies, so they came to us to let us know something good.

I don’t expect something big news. I humbly would like to ask for support to protect our current situation. I am fully satisfied with the current situation and everything that I am provided at this moment.

This morning I received a phone call from my old friend. It was a wonderful surprise.

I met her at the ESL class right after I moved to America. At our first meeting, we got along with each other. We became good friends right away. It was so fun to have such a nice friend in the classroom. I could keep on going to the ESL class every day because I had her in the same class. I am sure, if I didn’t have her in the class, I would have stopped going to the class. 

In 2011, she launched her small business and moved to another city. Since then, we hadn’t kept in touch with. I had thought about her often, but I never called her from my side. Why? Because I didn’t have courage to do so.

I appreciate her courage to call me and let me know she never forgot about me. She repeatedly told me that she definitely wanted to have a get together with me. So, we set the date and time for our get together. I look forward to reconnecting with her.
