Coming Back To Life: Chapter 1

After living there for thirty years, I moved from West Seattle to Green Lake in the spring of 2021. 

Two years later, in Spring 2023, I returned to West Seatle from uncompromising homesickness.

Shortly after that, at the beginning of Summer, I was diagnosed with a rare illness, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.

These unexpected health challenges initiated a boot camp spiritual work, during which I have diligently focused on my recovery while balancing part-time work commitments. I've also endeavored to clear and release myself from my Japanese family/ancestral generational karma and family system patterns. Which had a heavy hold on me throughout my life, particularly profoundly engrained in me.

Recently, during the May full moon, I visited my favorite coffee shop on Alki Beach for the first time in two years. As always, the breathtaking views of Puget Sound's invigorating sea breeze made it a perfect place for inspiration and writing. I was in awe of gratitude to be there once again. As I sat and began to write, reflecting on the past turbulent year, I felt a rush of emotions. Packed full of twists and turns, yet it was the most blessed time in my life. I felt vulnerable, yet my heart was ecstatically grateful that all my blogs had been written here since 2016. My writing skills have come a long way from when I had zero confidence in expressing myself through writing, and I am excited to see my progress continue.

Reminiscing awakens my creativity; it has been a long wait. I am overjoyed to finally have the opportunity to document and share my experiences through this new blog. After a year following these transformative life-changing experiences, I'm now ready to unlock these insights. 

My sincere intention for this blog is to help those with similar conditions if I can offer any help or support from my own experiences.
