I can't think of a time in my life where I wasn't as direct as possible in communicating.

Sometimes, I'll fully admit, my ability to communicate my thoughts hits a wall … Continue reading Directness to a Fault

Birds of Prey ~ Spiritual Creatures
An unexpected surprise upon moving to Yokosuka are the birds. Yes I know it's coastal, it's an island! But, I am used to the Seagulls and Pigeons of California. I was not expecting to see two of my favorite birds constantly in the sky above. The Sea Hawk: If you know me well you know I am … Continue reading Birds of Prey ~ Spiritual Creatures
Us…Together…Happy
Why do I sometimes feel the need to dwell on things in the past? To continue to learn from them perhaps? To appreciate where it has brought me? Tonight I am back in 2011 before marriage and when my husband (then boyfriend) and I decided to separate. For some reason I'm dwelling there, on the … Continue reading Us…Together…Happy
Getting Out in Japan
First off, my feet are tired and sore. I truly love that so much of Japan is so very accessible, however my feet are not used to this much activity. I am hoping they catch up and get in the game soon or the next 3 years will be painful - I'm not giving up … Continue reading Getting Out in Japan

Saturday/Sunday: explore a LOT, get train swipey thingies and go visit the husband's co-workers for a bbq or whatever. Monday/Tues: move in … Continue reading Week 2 in Japan
A New Adventure Begins
the photo above is blurry because I was so very tired Well the flight was cramped and those neat little air vents on most planes that you can turn to blow air on you were non existant so it was really warm for 12 hours. Otherwise, it was a nice trip without any real issues. … Continue reading A New Adventure Begins

Inkage
Have a new tattoo to show off, didn't hurt too much but I did grimace a few times during it. Took about 2 hours. Why put permanent art on my body? Well, each tattoo I have has special meaning behind it and they tend to remind me what is most important. Each one has a … Continue reading Inkage
