Three years? Where? Another year has come and I am still struggling (some days) to deal with my Dad’s loss. Man… grief is really a trip! I wrote this for my Dad on the third anniversary of his passing. It really tells of how grief shows up differently on different days. But guess what…that’s okay. …
You ever get so complacent in a space you just block out everything else? To the point where you brain is just defaulting to a negative answer when it comes to anything new? So, the weapon formed against me was formed by me…myself…and I? Got slapped in the face with this recently, and I gotta …
Namaste Y’all! Many people always ask me “Why Japan?” So, I decided to make a little list of reasons why I love it here. This isn’t everything, as I’m sure I probably forgot some things, but it’s a start. And as I collect more, maybe there can be a part two…or probably become a series …

Let me just start by saying, God & The Universe always has my back! And that’s why I become more and more fearless by the day. So here’s the thing. When I decided to move to Japan, I requested from my employers to live in a smaller city (NOT Tokyo). I wanted to live in …
