ICS’s Inspirational Center Blog

It’s been a whirlwind of a trip. This evening Kurumi and I went to this great vegetarian organic restaurant that we went to the first day we arrived in Osaka. It is so very good. I had dried vegetable curry with sukemono, a salad, and a grapefruit juice/kiwi blended fruit juice. Talk about yummy. It was so very good. Spoke with my friend Chiko and we are going with her and a bunch of her friends to Mt Kurama. She said the weather report will be good so lucky for us. The day went well with the appointments and the Sacred Gaia Akashic Ascension class. All things went well today so I am very happy about that. I have so many things that I am thinking about especially when we get back to stateside. Got to sure up the Cruise and get people to book their cruise. I have to tie up the Sedona  / Mt. Shasta trip. I got get the rest of the stuff organized. Too much to do already and all I can think of is all the things I got to get done still. Yikes. I need to rest tonight. Got a big day tomorrow.

I am exhausted but am a little stir crazy from working all day and now that we are in our apartment in Osaka, I am feeling a little stir crazy. It is very warm and hot. It is so very humid and hot… We had a good day with a good Reiki Class #1 and #2, and then did readings for three people and then a healing. The day ended around 10pm but all together it was a good day. Yesterday was a good day to. I had a long day. We started giving readings from 11am and I didn’t get back to the apartment from doing readings until 1 in the morning. I was wiped out but I am used to doing power reading schedule so it is okay.  Tonight when we went out to dinner we had a mix of asian fusion. it was very good. A very enjoyable dinner with such great company. We went out with the matsuo family who has been our host during these last two days. Yuka and Katsuhito are such kind great people and am very happy that we have befriended them. They are very kind. I am so grateful to have Kurumi with me n this trip. Fixing a lot of the issues from the last trip that were created and now everything has been smoothed out except for some minor issues that are frivolous. The Tokyo Spirit Circle is helping me to organize and plan for a Tokyo center for us. We will hopefully wrap things up by October. I am looking foraward to a good day tomorrow. I am teaching Akashic Ascension and doing two healings so it will be an easy day. Cheers to another wonderful day. Happy Summer Solstice!

We are staying near the Minowa station off the Hibiya line. We went to be interviewed by a major sponsor here in japan and apparently I passed their test. They loved their readings and were apparently inpressed by the clarity. I never know what to expect so I just go with it… Anyways after that we went to go visit Catherine Olsen who is in Yoga and was not feeling ell. we went to the market and got her a care package to get her better and then took her to the pharmacy to get her some over the counter meds. After that we went over to Harajuku to go to Meiji Jingu Temple. I love that plac My favorite place to be. We then went window shopping and looked around at the awesome fashion. What incredible stuff. I love all the clothes, shoes, and accesories here. Very on the edge and fashion forward. So much fun. After that went to Shinagawa to meet up with the Tokyo Spirit Circle. We had dinner, caught up and visited, and then I mde them give readings. They did well. Lots to be proud of. We then discussed opening the Tokyo office. Kuni and Naoko are very proactive and will help run the center here. We will finish up details by October but in the mean time they will look around for space and make a plan of action for me. I met with Dr Ono and his wife at 9pm dto do their reading and didn’t finish up until 11:30pm. it was a lng reading and then got back to the apartment by 12:30am. Long day but very satisfying. I am gld it is complete. I feel I did well today. Thank you God for a day well spent. Talk to my son before I went to bed. I miss my kids.  Kurumi went to bed an hour ago so I better gets some shut eye too. What an amazing day. Still a whirlwind and getting rady to repack tomorrow morning and then off to the bullet train (Shinkansen) to Osaka. Got to get rady for another Spirit Message circle on a beautiful Full moon night! Talk a powerful night coming up.

The weekend past by like a whirlwind. Kurimi and I had a busy day taking care of students and readings. A lot of really nice people and we are meeting some really nice new friends. We got a chance to met with Catherine Olsen on friday which was really cool. We are going to see and hang out with her all day on Tuesday. Monday was a day that went by like a rockt. It went so fast that by the end of the day it was like I didn’t realize it went by already. We had 8 sessions which took up most of th day and then I gave readings for 15 people in Spirit Message Circle. After circle I gave a private reading for one of the guests who won a reading that we gave away as a prize. We went out with Mika and Yuka after for dinner and conversation. We laughed so hard that I was crying from laughing so hard. A lot of fun conversation joking around with them. I think we got back to the mansion around 2 in the morning and then finally got to bed at 3am. Getting ready for anothr full day. I got about 3-12 hours sleep last night but I will be all right. Got to take my OPC and then the rockt will be fueled again for the day…

I was awoken this morning to the ringing of the cell phone to receive a very disturbing phone call… One of my dearest friends passed away. My dear beautiful friend Hatty Hoover. My heart aches right now as I can only feel the grief of this loss of my loving friend. Hatty is a beautiful person that brings a smile to everyone that she meets. She has this gorgeous beautiful hair that is never out of sorts. She always keeps herself together and I don’t think she would ever consider leaving the house with hr hair not in exact place.  She lives by the principles of a Course in Miracles. She knows andpractices the rules and could teach this course if she wantd to. Although she had a really tough year at work she has endured so much pain and grief in that small amount of time. She told me a few weeks ago that she couldn’t believe everything that was happening to her and that it didn’t make sense. I was pretty upset myself at the stuff that was happening around her but then again those people doing the things to her will have to deal with the insensitivity and the karma involved with it in their own way anyways. It is just the law of karma. It is never personal it is just the gving and the receiving of energy. I really felt for her at the time because it was exactly part of the reasons I had to make changes in my own life a year and a half ago with pretty much many of the same if not similar types of people.    I pray Jeff will be able to endure this tough time and this rough spot in his life without his beautful mother. Hatty was a great mother who cared for her son with all her heart and would bend over backwards and forwards for her son Jeff. Its interesting my last conversation with her, she was so upbeat and talking about fun old times we had and how she was trying to figure out what she wanted to  with her life. It is strange as we progress through life when your friends decide it is time to leave, change s so inevitable and we can’t make it stop. The energy of ascension is hre and it is quite apparent as many of my lovely light worker friends who possess so much energy, vibrant loving energy as they transition into the light to assist us on a higher plane. I love you so much Hatty. As my tears stream they are changing to tears of gratitude for sharing so much with us, so much love, so so much love. You are a dear friend to so many of us and you have changed all of our lives forever. Thank you my friend. Go on and continue to do the work you set out to do. You are in a  much strnger form now to continue your blessings. A new day is dawning, the guards are changing, and the light work continues. I love you with all my heart Hatty……

Who says Friday the thirteenth is a day of caution.. Should we really beware on such a day? Kurumi and I had a great day on the thirteenth as we spent the day setting up meetings for the following week, met with Catherine Olsen for lunch-which was great and awesome to be able to visit, and then visited a beautiful shrine to do our opening prayrs for this trip. It was a good day.

It was a long flight from Canada. We were in Vancouver and I thought what a very big modern airport. It was amazing to me…. YES the Canadian Mounties actually DO wear thos big hats. Our plane was boarding and we got on really efficiently and quickly. We got settled in ur seats and they closed the airplane door. The pilot does his announcements in his American southern accent. Then all of a sudden as we are awaiting our departure, the airplane door re-opens and the cockpit door is reopened. I’m talking to our neighbor at this time and I look at her and we both say, okay that is not normal and that doesn’t look too good.” Anyways we en having to exit the plane and it took about 30-40 minutes before we reboarded the plane. So anyways, Kurumi and I are sitting on realize we don’t have a screen to look at on the seat in front of us so I begin to think okay, this is not cool, What am I going to do for ten hours? (Its the little things of comfort that you think about especially when you frequently travel these long segments…) Kurumi and I look at each other and say, “It’s going to be a long flight.” Thank GOD I had two books with me; of which I actually read besides watching “National Treasure” and two other reallybad untertaining flicks on the one big screen in front of us on the wall. (I guess we won’t be flying Air Canada again, haha.) There was a plus though because even though it was  a Canadian flight, they really did try to make Japanese cuisin. It wasn’t great but for Airplane food it was’nt horribly bad either. We got to the Weekly Mansin and wow did it smell like smoke. My allergies were picking up pretty quickly as we entered the place. It was comfortable enough though and had a cute living room with kitchen and a bedroom ith to comfortable bds. It works… After leaving the windows open to air out the place it was a lot more bearable. 

It was a good day of readings. We had some very nice folks come all the way down from Nagoya. It is about an hour on the train. There were 7 people that came to see me for appointments from Nagoya. Miki-san was here with me giving translations. She is really good and she will be helping me in June. She already agreed so at least translations will be handled. We went out to eat and we ate Okonomi-yaki. It was sugoi oshii. One was with Tako, ika, and ebi, butaniku and the other one just had Ika in it. It was yummy. Everything tastes so flavorful here. The birru is even tasty. Nihon has different kinds here that we can’t find in US so even the malt birru is tastier. It rained all day. Otenki samui and amefuri all day but it kept the air clean. I am planning my trip back right now and have to soliify my plans by tomorrow so I may have to extend my stay longer then was planned in Rokku-gatsu (June). Daijobu though because it will mean I will be able to reach more people and make more of a difference in Nihon. It is all good.

It was interesting day, Mrs. Kobayashi called me last night and wanted me to detail her reading back to her to confirm. She is so nice. She then tells me you are coming back to Japan in June right? I said yes that is true. She then says, are you going to teach and I said yes I will teach Beginning Psychic development in Tokyo and then in Kobe at a yoga studio. She then says if I can get enough people 10-15 people, would you teach at my spa a private class? and I said with enough advance notice, it should not be a problem as long as I have enough time to purchase and bring all the supplies. Way cool, huh? We will see how it works out. I will also be teaching Sacred Gaia Akashic Ascension in Tokyo and then also Reiki 3 and Teacher Training. I will then teach Reiki 1 & 2 in Kobe or Osaka as well. It should be a good trip in June already! Many clients from Kobe Spicon wanted to take the classes so it will be good there too! I read 7 one hour readings today. My translator Miki-san was so exxcellent. Good fun day. We had Chirashi bento for lunch and then Oden for dinner. Yummy. My tummy was full of good food. Matsuo-san was so hospitable and so kind to us. Very wonderful family.
