Brainstorming meeting for Peacemaking seminar (3) 8/3/2023

In the morning my family and I went the local MVD to update the address. We also purchase a license plate that was worn out from the strong AZ sun. Even though there were a kind of long waiting line at MVD, the agent who served us was polite and friendly, and so the processes were done comfortably.

In the night at 8 p.m., I had a meeting with my palmist teacher and one of the fellow students. My fellow student pointed out that I still need to tackle with my low self-esteem. I agree with her that I don’t have confidence in me. I appreciate her for pointing it out straightforward. It is always great fun to chat with like-minded people like them. I had a great time with them. I hope sometime soon I will be able to meet them in person.

Cleansing tears 8/2/2023

It is my late mother’s birthday. Happy birthday Mom. I know you are well and happy in the spirit world.

In the morning I went for a walk alone. I thought back of the previous two months that I had been drained by the moving and the trouble by the job-related group people. Last night while I was talking with my friend, I thought I need to shed tears. Then, miracle happened. I started shedding tears while walking. I let my tears falling down on my cheeks. It was blessing to have the tears that cleansed my mind and soul.

Final inspection of the previous house 7/31/2023

My daughter’s school has resumed. It is odd that they started at the end of July. In previous years they resumed school in the middle of August.

My husband and I went to the old house. The property manager arrived. She already looked like mad. She complained about the front yard that we didn’t take good care of it. Even in the house she was not nice at all. She scolded us this and that, and ordered us to fix the issues. Her attitude, the voice tone, and what she said to us were not nice at all. We felt like we were treated like slaves.

The final inspection was scheduled at 10 a.m. I had gone through the final inspection of the rental house and apartment before. From my previous experiences, I expected to spend only 5 minutes or so and we would pass the inspection right away because we cleaned the house thoroughly. However, the thing didn’t turn out as we expected. The property owner complained and ordered us to fix this and that. We worked on the fixes. The yard work was the toughest ones that took us many labors and hours. We wanted to have a family fun by going to the bowling array and a nice restaurant for lunch, that all of our plans didn’t happen.

We worked hard without taking a break. I didn’t even go to the bathroom. By the time when everything was done, it was already close to 5 p.m.

The property manager promised me to return our security depot with full amount except for the changing the door key fee. I really hope she will keep her promise and return it as soon as possible.

Need to detach my feeling from the old house 7/30/2023

My daughter and I went to the old house to take a long bath in the big bathtub. We will definitely miss the big bathtub.

The roofer was working on the roof and his 2 dogs were running around in the back yard. I felt little sad about that the roofer put his dogs without our permission. I have to detach my feeling from the old house by now. I am feeling sad like heartbroken from the old house.

Conversation with my Navajo friend 7/29/2023

I talked with my Navajo friend. Last time we met and talked was at my late dad-in-law’s funeral service. Since then, we have communicated each other from time to time on Facebook, but not in person. It was great to catch up with her by talking in person over the phone.

I mentioned the possibility that I might be able to organize a Japanese group who wants to visit Navajoland and learn Navajo teaching. I want to have her to join this project. She said she is willing to help me. We decided to meet in person when we go back to Navajoland next time. I am looking forward to our next meeting.

Taking off to a new destination 7/27/2023

In my dream of this morning, I was in a private airplane. I was with my family. My late dad-in-law was there with us. Our airplane was about to take off. My late dad-in-law told me to wish anything I want. So, I wished to have a light snack. He told me to have a detailed vision. So, I made my wishing vision more detailed. I wanted to have one rice ball bade with organic brown rice, and two Japanese cakes which are also made with organic and healthy ingrediencies.

I think this dream tells me that I am about to start a new project, and everything I need and require for the project will be provided as I wish. All I need to do is keep having faith and keep proceeding to the new project.
