New companion in our garden 7/6/2024

We bought a basil plant and planted next to tomatoes. I heard they are good companion plants.

My husband pulled muscle around his left chest. It happened all of a sudden. He suffered for some minutes from the difficulty of breathing. I quickly gave him Reiki healing, applying the homeopathic ointment of arnica gel, a 2-hour biofeedback session, and positive prayers. His breathing ability came back right away. His sharp pain disappeared gradually. By the evening, he could walk normally. I appreciate we have many healing methods available.

Feeling inter-connectedness 7/5/2024

In the morning, we checked our backyard garden. We harvested tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions, jalapenos, and green bell peppers.

I gave myself a 2-hour biofeedback session for my pulled muscle on my left calf.

In the evening at 5 p.m., I attended the online Reiki gathering. My Reiki teacher shared the concept of 諸法無我. The teaching of this concept is like this.

Nothing can stand alone. We cannot stand by ourselves.

Rather, everything is connected. Therefore, we have to depend on everything. Interdependence is law of the universe.

When we fully understand this simple law of universe, there is no room for separating each other. There is only room for appreciation. When we feel thankful and appreciated for interconnection, we regain happiness and light feeling.

Navajoland visit (4) 7/4/2024

We were planning to leave navajoland in the early morning. We woke up at 6 a.m. which is our 5 a.m., but by the time when we almost completed packing, my mom-in-law came to me and asked me in a whispered voice if we can stay one more night. I thought it cute of her. She started feeling missing us already while she was watching us packing our stuff to the car. All of us miss our own house and sleeping on our bed, so we decided to leave today anyway.

At the last moment right before we got on the car, I was playing with Bucky, running around the area. All of a sudden, I heard the dull cut sound on my left calf. At the same time, I felt a sharp pain. I could not even walk normally. I pulled my muscle.

We took my husband’s car this time, which is an automatic car, so that I could have driven. But my husband insisted he would drive all the way of 8-hour drive. Thanks to him, I could rest up all the way back home.

We arrived back safely around 4 p.m.

Around 8 p.m., we watched the firework show for the July 4th cerebration from our house.

Navajoland visit (3) 7/3/2024

In the morning, we went to the zoo and the grocery store. Then we enjoyed a cook-out some beef steak and vegetables.

After we ate lunch, my mom-in-law started talking about her experience on my late dad-in-law’s departure day. On the evening, they ate out for dinner. After they came back home, my dad-in-law said he wanted to have a sponge bath. They had an argument about the sponge bath. My mom-in-law wanted to give a sponge bath to him while he was sitting on the recliner chair, but my dad-in-law wanted to do so at the sink in the bathroom. They ended up argument and my mom-in-law left him in the room alone. After a while when my mom-in-law went to check on him, my dad-in-law was on the floor. She didn’t know exactly what to do in order for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, so she called 2 sisters. One sister was at the bar drinking some alcohol in town and could not go to their home right away. The other sister was at home. Even though they live close to each other, it took them for a long time to arrive at their house. the sister didn’t come. The nephew and the sister’s boyfriend came to the house, but they were reluctant to enter the house. Both of them didn’t know what to do, so they called an ambulance. By the time when all the rescue people arrived, my dad-in-law was already gone. They could not bring him back. My mom-in-law blamed herself and got in the deep depression state for 2 years or so. She blamed herself so much to the extent where she even thought about committing suicide. But then, she thought of her three granddaughters that she didn’t want the girls to go through such a tough situation.

I never heard these stories from my mom-in-law before. Even my husband didn’t know in details. While she was talking about it, she was shedding tears. Then she said she finally felt released from the guilty feeling.

Once she felt good, she suggested us to go back to our house. We were originally planning to stay until Friday so that we could take my mom-in-law to the July 4th cerebration. However, Navajo nation decided to cancel the firework show due to the dry air. My mom-in-law felt sorry for us that we would not have any cerebration in her area. We agreed to go back home one day earlier than our original plan. At least my mom-in-law seemed to be happy after my counseling session that she could release her hidden blame and guilty feeling. I guess we were back to the Navajoland to heal my mom-in-law.

In the evening at 7:30 p.m., we had a meeting with the handyman at our new shed. He sent us the update saying that he would complete the project by this weekend, but he hasn’t come for these past 2 weeks. When he arrived at our shed, he said his sister just passed away last week and they would have her funeral service on this Friday. We were sorry for his loss. We told him to take time as long as he needs. He said he would try to complete our project by the end of this month.

Navajoland visit (2) 7/2/2024

In the morning my daughter and I stayed at trailer and cook curry and rice for our lunch. My mom-in-law and my husband went here and there for errands including the post office to pick up letters and the homesite office to submit some paperwork.   

In the afternoon, my daughter gave a hair cut to my mom-in-law. My daughter is really good at it. My mom-in-law was very happy for gently being taken care of by my daughter.

In the evening at 6 p.m., we went to the Mexican restaurant in town to have dinner with our common friend. We all had a good time catching up with each other.

Navajoland visit (1) 7/1/2024

In the morning my family and I headed to Navajoland. The road traffic was not bad at all. my husband I took in turn to drive. I appreciate we arrived there safely. Everything was there, same old same.

We were happy to be back home.

Bucky, our chihuahua dog, was so happy to see us. We walked up to the hill, to our homesite with Bucky. We were amazed to see our new shed. It was 80 % completed. All the works left was to work on the roof and the entrance door. I saw the pictures in the construction process, but looking in my own eyes and actually entering into the shed was a big different. It was much bigger and more spacious than we thought. We are so excited to use our brand new shed.

The interview with an attorney (5) 6/30/2024

In the night at 8 p.m., I had an interview with an attorney. It was my fifth interview with an attorney. He was a calm and laid-back person. Maybe he is around my age. He gave me the quotation which was pretty expensive. I probably will not hire him unfortunately.

So far, I have requested 14 attorneys for an interview. You will be surprised at what I am going to share with you. Only half, 4 out of 14 people agreed to meet me in zoom. Another half was not. One attorney said he would not take any clients who cannot come to his office in person. Even though he looks like a young person probably in his late 20s or early 30s, he said no-online meeting. This is weird. Two attorneys said even though I would like to meet an attorney as my interview to see the personality, they said they would charge $100 per hour. It is crazy to me. Four attorneys never replied back to my interview request.

My family spirts told me it is important for me to go through the process until I will find the right one for me. They won’t give me an easy way because they think I will learn and grow through this process. Even though this process seems to be tough and stressful, it is benefitable for me in the long run. I fully believe in my family spirits. I know they will guide me to the right one after my adventure in this process. I will keep going what I am supposed to go.

The interview with an attorney (4) 6/29/2024

I had a dream this morning. I saw a huge black bear in the mountain. The bear was standing with his both arms up, trying to intimidate me. but the bear could not do so, because I was far away from it. I knew the bear could not harm me or anything. Besides, I was surrounded by my family and other supporters for me. When I woke up, I thought it represents my situation. I don’t need to be scared because I am well protected by my family and the right people.

In the night at 8 p.m., I had an interview with an attorney. My dad’s tax accountant introduced me to this attorney. This new attorney looked very young and I thought him as in his late 20s or in his 30s. He said he has been working as an attorney for 15 years now. He is actually 40 years old.

It was actually fun to talk with him. He was pleasant and knowledgeable. He said he has dealt with many uncomfortable people who ignore the attorney’s official notice, but he doesn’t easily get affected by those people; he can keep doing his job without feeling depressed. I would hire him if his fee is not high. I will keep looking for my right one.  

Charged up brave heart 6/27/2024

It was a nice day with the gentle female rain and cool temperature. In this nice and cool morning, the first post that caught my eye in my FB front page was the messages from one of the fortune tellers.  It is like a horoscope fortune telling but it was a message from the traditional Chinese way. In her fortune telling method, I am categorized as Mars. The message for my group was like this.

If you have an old friendship or relationship where you have been betrayed or treated badly in the past, it is the time to stand up for yourself and cut the unnecessary relationship. Be brave and say good by to the person.

This message resonated with me very well.

I requested 9 attorneys for a first consultation for the inheritance division case. Two of them offered to meet up on zoom this evening, on the same day. I needed to cut off some part of the homeopathy live lesson but meeting an attorney is my priority number one item at this moment.

The both of the attorneys were very nice. They both are young in their 30s. i asked them to provide me a quotation of their attorney fee.
