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.

Yesterday during the conversation, my friend shared with me the technique of New Moon resolution. Since New Moon is the starting point of a new cycle, it is good for us to have a vivid image of ourselves to become in the near future.

So I tried it.

I visualized myself already moved to my right place. There, I have met some of my soul tribe people. With the intense stimulation and encouragement with them, I have gradually regained my true self. I feel happy. I am satisfied with my life. I appreciate everything and everybody surrounding me. I also appreciate every events happened in the past, and every people whom I met in the past. They made the current me, which I love the most ever. I saw myself glowing and sparkling in my vision. 

I was amazed how vividly and clearly I could see my future self in my vision.

I like this technique. I appreciate my friend for sharing it. She always shares valuable information and techniques with me. 

It is great to know we can create our own reality and near future as we like, instead of complaining the current situation or current human relationships. Positive thinking brings more positive conditions, situation, and people.

I chatted with my friend on Skype. During the conversation, I was telling her about my family’s upcoming trip. My family never traveled to this destination by driving. Therefore, neither my husband nor I have any idea about the best route and the city where we should stay for a night.

My husband is not a leader of this family. I am reluctantly being a leader. To be honest, I prefer to follow a leader, instead of being a leader.

About the trip, I am sure for one thing. If I don’t lead for this trip, we won’t go anywhere. Yes, that means I have to make a detailed plan and decide everything all by myself. By thinking about it, I feel nervous and overwhelmed about this trip.

Let me share my dream I had two days ago.

In my dream, I was captured by some bad guys. I was put in a room. There, I found some more victims who were also being captured. They lost their hope to escape from there. They suggested me to do the same as they did; simply accept my destiny and yield in to the outside environment.

I said No. I thought I would not going to live my life like that. So, all by myself, I made a plan to escape. And I succeeded to escape from the captured room. I made myself to be free from the uncomfortable situation and condition.

When I woke up, I understood the message from my family spirits. It was a clear message. It is up to me on either I give up and yield in to this condition, or have courage to take necessary actions.

Back to the story of the conversation with my friend.

After I finished expressing my feeling about our trip, her 7-year-old daughter came up to the computer. She offered me to pull an angel card for me. She used Cherub Angel Cards for Children created by Doreen Virtue.

She pulled the card “Trust Your Feelings.” That really made sense to me. I have the same card deck, so I wanted to see the card by myself. I flipped the card deck in my palm, and tada!!, the top card facing to me was the exact same card she pulled for me.

My friend and her daughter, and I were in awe. We both were guided to the same card. I told my friend, this card was a confirmation for me that I should follow my feeling.

And, my friend shuffled her card deck, Magical Unicorn Oracle Cards created by Doreen Virtue, and pulled one card for me. The card was “Definitely Yes”. Then again, the same thing happened. When I flipped the same card deck in my palm, the top card facing to me was the exact same card she pulled for me.

I appreciate my friend and her daughter to support me by doing this. And not to mention, I always appreciate my family spirits to guide me like this.

My husband and my daughter have been sick for these days. And last night, I noticed I also had a sore throat.

Last night I could not sleep from the pain in my throat. It uncomfortably hurt when I swallow.

I quickly did whatever I remembered. I gargled with salt water. I did a 15 minutes steam therapy with using a steam inhaler. I took a ginger pill. I wrapped up my throat with a scarf and went to bed.

And it worked. This morning I woke up without any throat pain. It completely healed during the night.

Whenever I quickly heal from sickness, I think of female hormone. Somebody once told me that women with female hormone are very strong because she is constantly guarded by an invisible armor; female hormone. Female hormone produces and functions powerful immune system cells and molecules.

I appreciate my body. I feel blessed to have a female body on this lifetime. And every time when I have monthly period, I appreciate the natural body cleansing.
