My macrobiotic teacher held an Instagram live session for her students. It was a Q & A session. She encouraged and reminded students the importance of eating properly. It means that we should cook with taking enough time and put good energy in food, instead of a quick and easy cooking method. She answered my question that I submitted in advance. My question was about some advice on how to stop eating sugary snack such as chocolate and cookies. Her advice was to replace to fresh vegetables and fruits. She also advised me to intake sweet potatoes that is much better than produced snacks. I appreciate her kind support to her old students.   

The day started as one of the normal days. After my husband left for work, my daughter and I cooked lunch together. Around the noon time, I received a call from my mom-in-law. As soon as I picked up the phone, she yelled “Happy Mother’s Day!” It was an unexpected surprise, as I never expected a call from her. she said she has been doing fine. Her other son and his girlfriend visited her to cerebrate mother’s day and she was about to leave for one of her sisters’ house for another mother’s day cerebration.

We had a blessing rain for two nights straight. My vegetable plants in the backyard are all happy and growing much faster than before.

In the morning we attended the kids’ event at the local city park. It was their first trial event for kids to have a summer fun. The community garden people had their booth and invited visitors to their vegetable garden tour. They allowed us to pull carrots and onions from the soil. It was the very first time for my husband and daughter to harvest the root vegetables from soil. They were very happy to experience the harvesting.

We had some rain in the evening. It was a nice surprise for the vegetable plants in the back yard garden. It was rare to have rain in May based on my previous experiences. It was odd last year too. The monsoon season started in June last year, which was very rare. We didn’t have an extremely hot summer last year because of the early monsoon season. We might have the same pattern as last year that we will have a cool summer this year. I love rain and a cool summer, so I am loving it.

In the evening at 5 p.m., I attended the online reiki gathering. At the Q & A session, one of the attendees asked about the technical method on how we can send Reiki to Hurricane. The teacher mentioned that the Reiki healing energy is originally used to a live human on a hands-on method. As for an arrangement on using something other than a live person, the teacher left it to an individual person to follow their own intuition. I thought it great idea to answer this type of question in order to avoid making anybody to get offended. I personally believe that we human cannot send reiki energy to any of the natural disaster, because it is under the hands of the Great Spirit. We can send reiki energy to humans and animals who suffer from the natural disaster though. Then again, I always respect my reiki teacher to answer any kinds of questions politely and kindly, without making anybody to get offended.

I woke up with the sore muscle especially in my calves from yesterday’s stairs challenge. Still, I felt great with the muscle pain. We had a nice relaxing day.  

My family and I went to the old town Bisbee for a 1000-stairclimb challenge. We woke up early in the morning and started off in the early morning. It was our very first time to try this challenge. Since the information written in the map was not all accurate nor detailed, we had tough time to find the right stairs. But all in all, it was a great fun. We will definitely come back and do it again soon.

This year is probably the first year for me that I didn’t suffer from the allergic reaction in the spiring time. in the morning I had some phlegm, but after cleared up my throat, I didn’t have any runny nose nor dull head ache from pollen allergic reaction, which I used to have in March and April. 　

Since my new business profile pictures are nicely done, now I can have my hair cut. I have my hair cut by 8 inches (20 cm). I haven’t had my hair cut all year last year, because I wanted to grow my hair long. After one year’s growth, my hair grows longer and I like it, but it comes with some suffering. My hair has been falling out badly. In the process of aging, we have to give up on something that we had taken it for granted in younger days. I decided to give up on having a long hair. After I cut the big chunk of my hair, I actually felt great. Now I love my short hair.

My business profile pictures are done today. I am happy for my new profile pictures. I appreciate the photographer for offering a re-take session.
