Sarcasm

Sarcasm is one of the humors I enjoy. I found a video which is packed with full joy of sarcasms and this is a Christmas present from me to you. I will write out the first few lines from the top with my interpretations. It is for anybody wh…

Did You Know???

Did you know that the Democratic Party founded the Ku Klux Klan aka KKK? I was shocked! I thought it was the Republican Party! Then, the Democrats wanted to keep Black people enslaved and keep them from voting. Wow, why didn't I know that?…

Art Piece

I had never heard of this Japanese American artist named Isamu Noguchi until now. I found out about him through our First Lady's tweet. His art piece is now in the Rose Garden at the White House and it sounds like it signifies something im…

Title

Don't see anyone as a perfect one just because you look up to them and they seem better. A title is nothing. It doesn't mean a thing. It's just a false belief about the person. It's convenient to carry in this material world but you have t…

Too Positive

I've seen someone who's too positive. In my experience, being too positive is fake. It sounds good but it's phony. Although it might be hard, balancing to be positive is the best way, I think. For example, someone who doesn't have much exp…

Blind side

I'd like to get your attention, my fellow Japanese people. What you're seeing on mainstream medias, the news on TV are dishonest. When you do your research, you'll difinately find out about it but if you are gullibly believing the news, yo…

Great Awakening

What a time to be alive! It looks like we are going through a Great Awakening. We are witnessing a hot mess we have in this world! We are also witnessing fixings of corruptions and constructing of unity. Old is crumbling down only for New …

Truth Will Set You Free

Truth will set you free. Be truthful. Say your truth. Don't let your ego get to you. Be honest, tell the truth. There are lots of programming, mind controlling, brainwashing going on. First, we have to realize we are in the world where som…

False Announcement

"We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don't want the truth to be exposed. The timple (simple) fact is the election is far from over. Joe Biden has…

Democracy

I live in America because she practices Democracy. I choose to live here because I choose Democracy. The definition of democracy is a form of government in which the common people hold political power and can rule either directly or throug…

Massive Shift

We are going through a massive shift now. It is our responsibility to be aware, focus and make good decisions in life. We, all of us as an individual have to be good, do good and be aware. Watch things carefully. Pay attention. Seek Truth.…

Fall Foliage in New England

I recently found this YouTube channel and I have to share! Living in California for so long, I haven't seen these beautiful changing colors in Fall for a looongest time! No wonder this caught my eyes! Mother Nature itself is a beautiful ne…

Being Free

I think of myself as a free spirit. My own definition of a free spirit is somebody who is care free. Somebody who gets inspired and acts upon their own free will. Somebody who doesn't feel judged or restricted by what others think of them.…

Absentee

I had to be away for awhile because I was deep in thought. I was able to be with myself, my soul, my whole being and that has been leading me where I need to be. Every step of my way brings me some kind of epiphany or a fresh way of lookin…

21 Days Meditation Experience

I'm currently emotionally so drained. I'm talking about, bringing awareness of, and sharing my experiences of racism in America and how marginalized people feel in this white supremacy dominant culture but I feel I'm preaching to the choir…

I Dream A World, Langston Hughes

I dream a world where manNo other man will scorn, Where love will bless the earthAnd peace its paths adornI dream a world where allWill know sweet freedom's way,Where greed no longer saps the soulNor avarice blights our day.A world I dream…

https://youtu.be/GNEPwwv56DY Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty;Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.Sing a song full of faith tha…

Juneteenth

Today is Juneteenth. June Nineteenth (6/19) is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States. The news broke out in Galveston, Texas when general Gordon Granger announced it. That was 155 years …

Not Being Fully Understood

If you don’t live in America, you might not know the amplified emotions you feel in here now. I, as a first generation immigrant from Japan, it is powerful yet confusing. I, a spirit being who want to emphasize on healing for all souls wan…

The Painful Truth

Ever since George Floyd was killed at the hands of injustice, I started paying even more attention to the painful truths. You wouldn't notice if you don't take a close look. And unfortunately, it's in everywhere. Positivity in the name of …

Colonization

In the midst of movement, I am spelling what I see from my eyes. What I hear from my ears. What I think in my brain. And what I feel in my heart. My body stands in my sacred space. There's no room for anyone to trespass. If you can see me,…

Ego’s Defense

So, this is the follow up post on Gabby's Miracle Membership Facebook group. I'm making noises. I'm doing my part to end racism. Read on. Dear Miracle Members and Gabby With love and care, I appreciate you for noticing me! I’m fully aware …

Voicing out!

This is the open letter I wrote to an author and spiritual teacher, Gabriel Bernstein. Since I'm her Miracle Member, I felt a responsibility to be vocal about this matter. I know it sounds judgmental but when you talk about racism, you are…

Change in a mindful way

Hello meditators! I’m having a hard time focusing with all the Black Lives Matter movements that are going on in our country right now. I need your mindful attention, mindful practitioners! I want you to listen to me and go to your heart. …

I can’t breathe

George Floyd. Police brutality against Black people. Injustice. Racism. White supremacy. White privilege. Black Lives Matter. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't bre…

Walking Meditation めいそう

I did walking meditation yesterday for the first time as I plugged into an audio guided meditation. It was a magically misty morning in Monterey and somehow I was taken over by this immersing presence. I took a trail I had never before. Th…

Black Bean Burgers

What's going on, guys? This shelter in place experience is prepping me to be a semi world class chef! I'm telling you! I feel like all I do is to cook some gourmet-like foods! And mostly plant-based foods. What can't get healthier than tha…

Homemade Pizza!

Hey gorgeous people! It's Marvelous May! Hope you're having a wonderful earthy time wherever you are. Without further ado, let's just dive in! We made Pizza about a few weeks ago, all from scratch and we are so proud! I had never ever done…
