Navajo visit Day-2, trip to Farmington 11/12/2024

We had the English muffin sandwich that my mom-in-law cooked for us for breakfast. I cannot eat any animal meat. Today’s sandwich was made with only egg and hushed brown, which I liked it. As an animal meat eater/lover, my husband didn’t care it for much though.

After breakfast we headed to Farmington. My mom-in-law wanted us to go there together as it was a long way trip. It took us more than 3 hours in one way. On the way to Farmington, there was a casino called Northern Edge Navajo Casino. It was the right timing for us to visit their restaurant because we just talked about the Navajo traditional foods on our way to Navajoland. We ordered their Navajo Taco and enjoyed it.

We stopped by at Sam’s Club and helped my mom-in-law to shop the bulk and huge items for her dogs and cats, and herself.

At night, Bucky really refused to go back to my mom-in-law’s house. He wanted to sleep with us. We never let him sleep with us because we feared him to pee on the bed. My mom-in-law insisted that Bucky is now smart enough to hold it inside the house and he sleeps through the night. So, we decided to try him out. My daughter was so excited to sleep with Bucky. Sure, he did good all night. He slept through without waking us up in the middle of night. It was cute of him to have a light sound snore from time to time. It was great to wake up the morning with our favorite dog.

Navajo visit Day-1, 11/11/2024

It was a veteran’s day. My husband and daughter went to town to have lunch. I stayed back at home so that I could catch up with the lectures that I missed to attend during the trip to Japan.

In the afternoon around 2 p.m. we headed to Navajoland. The road was wide open for us. Around 9 p.m. we safely arrived there. My mom-in-law and Bucky, and other dogs were all happy for our arrival.

Retake of my 2 presentation videos 11/9/2024

I received an email from the homeopathy school. They asked me if I can still submit the revised presentation video. I thought it weird because I already sent them my revised videos one month ago.

But soon, I understood why my previous presentation videos were not successfully delivered. Because the presentation quality was poor. I was in a hurry to submit them. To be honest, I didn’t add the animations which I usually do. I am sure my family spirits prevented the previous videos from arriving to the school on purpose.

After I sent a good appreciation prayer to my family spirits, I edited my drafts and added the animations. I also practiced many times until I got satisfied. Then I recorded the final presentation videos and sent them out to the school. Now I am satisfied with my presentation videos that they got much better than before. I hope many audiences will like my presentations and get inspired through my words.

Trying to forgive my brother 11/8/2024

I couldn’t sleep well. I felt uncomfortable with what my brother has done to me.

He blamed me that I didn’t take over my dad’s company and position. He thought I had a happy life without the burden. He could have done that too. He is responsible for his life. If he doesn’t like to take over the family business, he could have said no and left the position. If he is not satisfied with his wife and marriage life, he could have left it and changed the situation. But in the reality, he decided to stay there. It was all his decision. He should not blame me for anything.

When my dad dealt with my mom’s inheritance, he said all my mom’s money belonged to my dad, because he was the one who made all the money. I thought it ridiculous idea. It was the solid evidence that my dad never respected and appreciated my mom for her kind support and love to my dad.

Now my brother is doing the same thing. He claims he has the right to inherit all my dad’s belonging because he did all the efforts to let my dad accumulate the fortune.

My brother, you are wrong. You didn’t do everything all by yourself. Your family supported you. Our ancestors supported you. I am a member of the same family. I supported you. I have the right to receive the equal amount with you. It was our late parents’ wish and desire. It is our ancestors’ wish and desire as well. They want you to be fair and nice to your sister. They want you not to be selfish.   

I am feeling angry, sad, and powerless because I cannot fight back to my brother. Even though I hire an attorney, he is not supporting as I wish. I feel being lost. I hate my brother for doing this to me. I wish my brother to go to hell.

My thoughts appeared like this, cussing my brother out. Then I heard my late dad’s voice. He said to watch out what I ask for. He reminded me the old Japanese saying 人を呪わば穴二つ. In English translation, it says People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

I thanked my late dad. He is right. I should not wish for my brother’s bad luck. All I should do is to completely let it go.

I admit it will take some time for me to be able to fully let it go and forgive my brother. I will work on it. And I try to stay positive. All the money that is supposed to come to me will eventually come back to me. All I have to do is fully trust the Universal law, Gods, and all the holy people and spirits. Please give me strength and support me to go through this life challenging event. I want to live my life peacefully without hating anybody. Deep inside, I want to forgive my brother.

Meeting with my attorney 11/7/2024

In the night at 9:30 p.m., I had an online meeting with my attorney. At our last meeting, he told me my brother’s attorney sent the detailed of inheritance and their calculation of tax that my brother and I owe to the Japanese tax office. It was during my trip to Japan. I sensed that it was not an honest document. So intuitively thought I should wait until I come back to America. I didn’t want to ruin my fun days in Japan.

Even after I arrived at America, I was reluctant to see the document right away. I had been suffering from jet lag anyway so that I didn’t have enough time and energy to deal with it.

Then my attorney noticed that my brother sent a letter through his attorney, and it was conveyed to my attorney, then passed it to me.

These two notices were not present to see. My intuition was right.

The first letter was the calculation for our tax amount. My brother lied about the gift money before our late dad’s death. He received almost 1.5 times as I received, but he put his part as zero and put only mine, so that I need to pay more tax than him. The fact that he lied about the numbers made me feel uncomfortable.    

The second letter was written by my brother’s attorney. It was a strong voice that my brother blamed me for leaving my dad’s company and not taking over his position. Also, the letter strongly insisted that all my late dad’s money belongs to my brother due to his efforts to support my dad’s company. In the second letter, he mentioned that he does not want to divide it equally. He suggested to give me only 25%. He threatens me if I don’t accept it, he would fight against me no matter how long it takes.

My attorney shared one of his past cases that he experienced. It was a similar case with us. In their case, it took 7 years until it settled down. The result was preferable one to the sister, and the brother lost. However, everybody wasted their precious time of 7 years.

I thought of it. If I fight in the court, I know the judge will give the instruction preferable to me that is divide it equally. But it takes years and extra cost to deal with the court.

I made my decision that I would let my brother win and take whatever he offers, even though it is not fair.

My attorney appeared to look being relieved of my final decision.

Some phone calls and email conversations as a financial consultant 11/6/2024

Now that I am fully back to my normal good health, I needed to work on my job as the financial consultant. One of my previous clients contacted me and asked me for support in order to increase the face amount of her life insurance. She actually contacted me with this request right before my departure to Japan, when I didn’t have the extra free time for myself. So, I asked her to wait until I come back to America and settle down.  

It was not a simple request, because of my situation. I transferred the insurance broker in September. My request of the broker change was approved by the insurance company. My next step was to submit the insurance company to change agent request signed both by my client and myself. There was one issue. The previous broker would never sign for release document for me. After I talked with some representatives of the insurance company, they recommended me to submit the reason so that they can accept my request without the previous broker’s signature.

The process took several days, and now I can finally proceed my client’s request.

It was a tiresome procedure, but all in all, I appreciate these procedures. All the processes have given me the opportunities to experience and knowledge, so that I will be much more smoothly able to assist my clients in the future.

Birthday of my late Navajo dad 11/4/2024

It is my late dad-in-law’s birthday. Happy birthday to my Navajo dad. I know he had lots of his fans, and even now, many people are missing him and cerebrating his birthday. Happy birthday my Navajo dad. I wish you all the best in the spirit world.

In the morning at 9 a.m., I had a monthly maintenance appointment for my biofeedback device.

It is the 7th day since we came back from the trip to Japan. I can tell I am completely well, got over from jet lag. I could stay up without feeling sleepy and slept through all night.
