To see somebody off to the spirit world is tough. It is very tough especially when the person is our parent.

I feel it is time for me to see my parents off, back to the spirit world, pretty soon. I have received such messages through my dreams recently, repeatedly.

Both of my parents have gone through tough days and happy days, but all in all, I believe their life have been a wonderful one. There are so many things that I don’t know about them. I strongly believe each one of us decided our life scenario before we were born, and that includes our last moment.

I respect their lives and their life plans. I cannot interfere their sacred plan. If they wish to see me at their last moment, it will happen naturally. If they don’t want me to see their last minute of this lifetime, we will be guided that way naturally.

I hope my parents will be able to go without any regrets when their best timing has come to go back to the spirit world. I always appreciate their kind support and unconditional love toward me. I appreciate them even more on their harsh wordings or actions, because they motivated me and strengthened me mentally and spiritually. I don’t have any grudge feeling to them at all. I have nothing but appreciation to them. This is my true feeling.

I would like to send my sincere prayer to my parents.

To their angels and spirits, please protect them at your fullest strength, so that they can enjoy their last days peacefully without any pain or regrets. Please let them feel my love toward them all the time. Please let them know I am with them in spirit whenever they need my love and support.

Today when I picked my daughter up at school, she had a big smile on her face. She told me she participated at the science fair.

There, she experienced many scientific experiences with other older kids. She wore the laboratory goggles and groves that they prepared for participants. She said everything she experienced was fun and exciting. They learned a lot and laughed a lot. Her favorite thing was that all the participants cooperated each other and had a fun together.   

When I heard about it, I pictured the scenery of Japanese famous science teacher, Denjiro-sensei, performed many fun scientific experiences in front of children.   

This science fair was sponsored by the local university. I had seen the brochure. It said the qualified participants were children of 9 years old and up. So I thought my daughter could not go. She is still 7 years old.

I noticed that her teacher took my daughter as an exception (secretly to others, maybe). So I whispered to the teacher “thank you for taking my daughter to the science fair.”

The teacher told me that she took my daughter as an exception because she was always polite with a well behavior. The teacher mentioned that the normal kids of her age cannot listen or sit still. During the summer school program, they had many different guest speakers from other universities or organizations. Smaller kids always ended up disturbing other kids or not listening quietly, but my daughter always stayed being good and an excellent listener and supporter.

I am happy to hear good things about my daughter from others. But, more than anything else, I am always happy whenever I see my daughter being happy and smiling.

In this spring, in May, I planted some herbal and vegetable seeds. But for some reasons, the majority of my seeds did not germinate. I started all the seeds indoors. Then, after some of them germinated, I transplanted them to outdoors.

The successful germinated seeds were only cilantro, wheat grass, and lemon basil. Among them, there were some seeds that I didn’t recognize at the beginning. They looked pretty when they were just germinated. So I didn’t pull them out when the thinning out and weeding process.

Today, when my family was out in the garden, my husband took a look of the unknown plants. They were healthy and growing taller, up to 12 inch (30 cm) high. My husband asked me why I left these weeds growing. He showed me the sharp spikes between stems. With his pointing, I finally recognized they were weeds. I see these plants (some of them are big trees) in our closest jungle area.

We pulled the weeds out from the garden. Their roots were thick and long, rooted deeply and firmly to the ground. It gave me a good laugh to know these weeds thanked me every time I watered them.

I admired on how the nature works. I apologized them for taking them off from the ground. Sorry guys, but I need to take you guys off, so that my cilantro can grow.

Today I went to the swimming pool with my family. Since there were huge piles of rain clouds in the sky, no other people was in the pool. We enjoyed the luxurious feeling; we felt like as it were our own private swimming pool with a life guard. Due to the monsoon’s every day rain, the depth of water was deeper than ever. Also we felt the water as softer than before. Maybe it is because of lots of rain water, rather than tap water. I enjoyed the soft touch of water.

In this time of the year, you see the signs saying “back to school fair” here and there in the town and school supplies at the stores.

And, last but not least, the temperature gets milder day by day. This time is the only short two to three months that you can enjoy humidity in the air in the southern Arizona.

Yes, we are getting ready to autumn. It is still weird to me, because I grew up in Japan where July is entering to summer.

My favorite season is winter, so I can’t wait to say hi to winter pretty soon.

I went to the grocery store and bought three gallon bottles of vinegar. Most of the times, the casher asks me some questions why I need that much vinegar. However, today was different.

The cashier smiled at me and told me that vinegar was very useful. I agreed with her. I was happy to hear her saying that. I told her that I use vinegar for a cleaning, a bath, and a laundry softener.

The cashier smiled even bigger and nodded. She said she also buys lots of Bolax. I smiled even bigger too and nodded, saying “Yep, I do too”. I told her that I also buy lots of baking soda. She said “Yep, I do too.”

This small conversation with the grocery cashier made my day. I was happy to know that I met somebody who has her daily life in an eco-friendly frugal way.

Nowadays, I have witnessed some better changes at the local grocery stores. One example is that the space for organic produces is getting bigger and wider. Another example is that the variety of oils are getting available, starting from coconut oil, avocado oil, and flaxseed oil. These were difficult to find in the local grocery stores two years ago. I think they are great improvements for all of us.

Today, I ordered a set of beeswax food wrap. These are replaceable for plastic wraps. I am looking forward to them arrive so that I can contribute to the eco-friendly frugal life. Small but steady and powerful, right?

I watched a comedy show DVD: American Indian Comedy Slam (2010). In this comedy show, seven Native American comedians make the audience laugh.

Among the seven comedians, I loved the Charlie Hill’s show the best. For the people who wants to know about Charlie, I found his younger day’s video in Youtube. It says the show was on the Richard Pryor Show in 1977.   

Charlie mentions white people should come to native people for advice because Native people have the owner’s manual. Native people taught the Whites democracy and how to fight with British people to become independent. As for how to deal with terrorists, native people have been fighting with terrorists since 1492.

One of the reviewers said that the person could not laugh. Perhaps, the reviewer was a white person. He/she might have gotten offended by hearing about Native people saying about Whites. Maybe this comedy show is not for white people. But this is definitely needed for native people who had not been allowed to speak up for a long time up until now. By laughing very hard, they are healed somewhat. I feel that Charlie is speaking on behalf of their ancestors.

My daughter prays to her angels before she goes to bed every night. She calls this ritual as her private time. She covers herself by a blanket and whispers to her angels.

It is very cute. Whenever she does that, I stop doing whatever I am doing, and just listen to her prayer. Her prayer goes like this.

Dear my angels.

Thank you for today.

Thank you for protecting me and my mom & dad.

Thank you for giving me all the fun time.

Thank you for everything you do.

You are the best angels ever.

I love you all.

Good night and see you tomorrow morning.

I love hearing her prayer. I am pretty sure her angels feel the same way. I think they look forward to hearing my daughter’s prayer every night.

If I were her angel, I would definitely keep protecting her and loving her. For example, if I have two or more humans to guide, I will more prioritize the human who always greets me and appreciates me, rather than other humans who never recognizes me nor appreciates me. It is a normal reaction.

I think this can be applied to other humans too. If we keep sending others our pure love and appreciation, they will feel the same way as we do. Let’s stay being the beloved one from our angels, as well as other humans, by sending our love to them.

Today I want to share some of my knowledge.

I am a star person. I came from a star. Most of star people love to be incarnated to be born as Native American, because our concepts and messages are similar to theirs.

I have met some people who believe all the human beings came from a star. I don’t argue with them. I feel some of the souls are originated from a star, while the majority of the human being souls are belong to the planet Earth.

There are many different stars. Some of the stars are highly matured and advanced in their spirituality, while some of the stars are still in their learning process.

Being incarnated in the planet Earth is a challenge for a highly matured star person. Although they came from an advanced knowledge in spirituality, the influence of other souls’ heavy and dull energy can easily pull the star people’s energy down. This is why it is critical for star people to find their soul tribe, so that they can support each other on remembering who they truly are.

Also, I feel a star person can be incarnated in other lives in other planets or stars simultaneously. Have you ever experienced the moment you are away from your physical conscious and received some thoughts that are not belong to you? I have experienced it many times. I think we are constantly communicating with other parts of our soul telepathically. Every thoughts and actions of ours easily change the outcome just like a kaleidoscope.

Another my thought is about UFO and alien. I feel it is only in the planet Earth where we have a physical body. In other stars or planets, souls can be incarnated without a physical body. They exist in a different dimension. They can contact humans through telepathy. All we can do is to feel them. Since humans don’t believe unless they actually see in their physical eyes, some star people created an alien form just to catch humans’ attention. 

I wrote this just to share what I feel. I might be wrong. I am sure one thing though. Once we are done for this life and leave from our physical form, everything will be cleared up.

This morning when I dropped my daughter off at the school, I talked with one of the school teachers. She mentioned she would not work for this school anymore. She got a new teacher job at the different school from this August. I congratulated her for her new job position and tried to leave there quickly, because I knew what would happen next.

My guess was right. She started complaining about this school on how bad the higher-ups and the management were. I knew she would say something bad about this school because the same things happened many times before. I have heard same things from other several teachers who already left this school.

Also, I have heard similar complains about this school from other students’ moms too. They complained about the school’s managements as well as the low academic level. In these two years, I know at least more than ten students who moved to another school, because the moms didn’t like this school.

I personally don’t have any complains about this school. I am okay as long as my daughter is happy and safe. I know the academic level of this school is low. This was my only concern about this school. I had tried to teach my daughter math and English, but it always ended up making my daughter cry, so I completely stop doing that.

I thought about my own elementary school days. I don’t remember about studying hard, but I do remember I played with my friends by playing baseball, dodgeball, or running around. During the summer time, we walked to the ocean. It was only 10 minutes walking from our house. We swam in the ocean without any adults’ surveillance. We explored an old and vacant house. Whenever we found a homeless man, we talked with him. My elementary school days was full of adventure.

So, after thinking back of my younger days, I decided not to worry about my daughter’s academic level at this moment. She is still small. She deserves to have fun in exploring this world. I am sure she will catch up with others whenever she has to. I believe in her understanding ability. Perhaps, my parents believed in me too, and that is why they never told me to study.

All in all, when raising children, there is no right or wrong answer. Kids are smarter than what parents think. They have the right answer for them at every time.

Everything is connected. Everything is changing.

These concepts came up because I’ve read some of my friends’ email talking about their loved one going through their aging process.

It includes my mother and even myself. It is our destiny that all the living creatures go through. Once we are born, we all go forward to our death.

It is very tough to witness your loved one’s aging process, especially their final step of transition. Their aging seems to be obvious and solid. Their body functions slow down day by day.

I felt blessed to hear that all of my friends understood the transitional process. They all told me that they would not cling on their loved one.

They would accept their loved ones’ best time to leave from this physical realm. We all have our own best timing to leave. It is supportive and helpful if we have family and friends who lovingly see us off at our best timing, rather than clinging on to us.

That reminds me of my dad. When I was 24 years old, our dog passed away. My dad told me it was his time to leave. My dad continued to tell me that all the creatures die taking turns. He told me like this.

The older one dies and makes a room for a new one to be born. In my family, our dog Hichi was destined to die first. Then most likely my dad will go the second. My mother will follow him the next. Then either my brother or I follow the next. After that, my children follow, then my grandchildren follow. That way, the life continues. It is like a handing over the baton to the next generation.

Then, my dad faced toward me and told me this.

Please follow this order. Don’t die before your parents.

When I heard this from my dad, I got goosebumps. I didn’t fully understand about my dad’s feeling those days, but now that I have a daughter, I understand his feeling quite well. I think all the parents feel the same.
