_Portal of the Wind_ by Shizuko Natsuki
_Portal of the Wind_ by Shizuko Natsuki Last March when I was in Lake Havasu City visiting my parents, my dad and I took a trip to the public library. It is something that my dad likes to do with me and they are a dying institution in most cities. The library itself was fairly…

Excuses…?
Day 3: What color are you grateful for? Well, the obvious answer should be purple as this is my favorite color. However, my first response to this was actually red. Now, in a way this makes sense. Without red, there is no purple. Red symbolizes blood, fire, passion and to me vibrancy. So, I suppose…

40 Years!!!
[shashin type=”photo” id=”10713″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] Wow, I have reached a milestone in life – the 40th birthday.

Gratitudes Revisited

Where has the Humanity Gone?
It is generally my policy to not to keep up too much with the news. I rely on other people to tell me what I should know either on FB or word of mouth. My husband has what I deem an addiction to the news – he reads it every hour or more…. There is…

Gong Bath Meditation
This weekend was my eighth yoga weekend for my 300hr teacher training course. It was our last before our week-long retreat held in Bali in August; and then after that, we only have two more weekends before our evaluation weekend for certification! The time is really flying by. My introverted nature dreads each of the…
