1st Miracle I had experienced
Do you believe in "Miracles", "Angels" or "Something unknown that greater than us"?
I used to be a great skeptic when it comes to "fortune telling" or "clairvoyant." I used to think that those people were trying to trick people using some kind of technique.
About four years ago, I wasn't sure about what I was doing in my life. I was totally lost and didn't know where I was going. I wanted to get some kind of "guidance" from "someone" to help me to get through whatever I was dealing with.
Around that time, a friend of mine told me about this gentleman who was really good clairvoyant and she thought that he was amazing. Being desperate and wanted to grab anything that could help me out, I called his number. Apparently he was quite popular and his was almost fully booked out for a while except for the Friday from 1pm. Interestingly enough, it was the only time I could squeeze something into my schedule that week as well.
I was very nervous about the appointment and telling myself that I wouldn't be tricked by whatever he said. When I saw him, I was a little taken a back to see how gentle and nice he was as I was imagining totally different image of the "fortune teller". However, during our little conversation before the session started, I kept thinking "He may be trying to get some information out of me, so he can use that information for his fortune telling session. Well I won't give him much information to help him out."
Despite my skeptical attitude, he was still polite and gentle, and our session started.
It was an amazing experience. He told me a lot about what I had been thinking about in my head which I had never talked to anyone, and gave me some comfort by answering some of the questions I had which of course I hadn't told him or anyone else. But the things amazed me the most was that he told me a lot of things which didn't make sense to me or I had no idea what he was talking about then and those things became clear to me or true in a next couple years.
I don't know how he did it but I had to believe that he must be able to see or pick up "things" somehow.
After this meeting, my reality had expanded a little and although I wasn't believing in so called clairvoyance totally it became acceptable for me.
I even started to read the book about angels for the first time in my life, that the same friend recommended to me. The book was called "Messages from Your Angels" by Doreen Virtue.
When I was reading the first chapter, it happened...
It is difficult to convey what I had experienced then but I was suddenly surrounded by the golden light which I could not see with my physical eyes but I could see it as a mental image.
Now, I had never experienced something like that before in my life.
I started to cry quietly, but I wasn't crying because I was sad or anything like that. I was crying because I was so relieved and felt so blessed with no reason.
Then I felt soft feathers around me as if the angel was giving me a hug with her/his wings and I knew somehow it was angels hugging me. Now, I was questioning myself as these things were happening "Is this my imagination?" "Am I seeing a hallucination?" And I was overwhelmed by this - I don't know how to explain it but probably the most appropriate way to say it is - "love" at the same time.
Eventually the golden light disappeared and I found myself crying in my bedroom by myself...
I can still feel the sensation I experienced that night in my body. I don't have any logical explanation for that event but it always brings me peace in me whenever I think about it.
Do you have any miracle experiences?
I now really believe that the miracles happens to us for reason. This "angel encounter" certainly helped me to get on with my life.

Timing Timing Timing
Someone said "Timing is everything."
Well, I don't know if it's everything but I think that it certainly plays a big part in our lives.
I recently read the famouse book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki for the second time. I read this book about 9 years ago, but it didn't do much for me back then. I didn't really get the message he was talking about in his book and read this book thinking "well, someone can get benefit from it but I don't think it's me." I was shocked to find out how much I missed with such attitude when I was reading this time!
Obviously, I wasn't ready then.
Come to think of it, my life was in such a mess around that time. My marriage was falling apart. I wasn't happy and thinking how I can stay outside of my home and spend as less time as possible with my Ex-husband. My selfesteem was very low even I was telling myself that I can achieve something great in my life. It wasn't in sync with my true feeling.
9 years later, I am happy with and excited about my life. I pulled out my "Rich Dad Poor Dad" from my book shelf. This time, the book was talking to me so much. I was literary absorbing every word and couldn't get enough of it.
It sure is the exactly the same book, but because I've changed what I get from the book is so different! I thought that this is the proof of "we all see what we want to see and hear what we want to hear." It's facinating...

Social Pressure or Personal Weakness?
I moved out of my home country, Japan in December 1994 as I got the job offer to work in New Zealnad. I had lived in beautiful Queenstown, New Zealand till early February 1997 and moved to sunny Gold Coast, Australia. I've been in this kind and open country since.
Even I don't live in Japan any more, I am still Japanese and my family still live there. I don't follow everything happens in Japan but the recent incidents around me made me think a lot about what is going on in Japan...
The husband of someone whom I know through my work killed himself after suffering from severe depression for 8-9 months. My younger sister is now dating with this lovely gentleman with two children who has ex-wife who has been suffering from depression and alcoholism. I got to know this 16 years old girl through my work, who now is suffering from depression.
"What is this?" I asked myself.
It must be not-unusual-thing to be suffering from depression in Japan if I personally could find three of them who suffering from it around me.
I was aware that Japanese children are under the huge pressure to do "better" in public eyes, which, I believe, started to cause problems among our teenagers.
I know that we do have a lot of stresses in Japan which have a lot to do with our own cultural/social rules. Traditionally, we were told to be patient in many situations instead of speaking up and standing up for ourselves. We even have the words "Tatemae" and "Hon-ne" meaning "how you act in front of people" and "what you really think", which brought me a lot of pain and confusion in my younger days and childhood.
I am wondering what really is going on in Japan. Why so many people are suffering mentally.
What is this all about? If you have any idea, please feel free to post your opinion here. I look forward to hearing from you all.
