Happy New Year, everyone!!!
I'm back, to tell you what's happening in my life:)
The year 2010 passed VERY fast. So many things happened to me. As for leisure, we went to the US, Yakushima, did lots of small trips in Japan, as for work, I got some interpretation work that were very exciting, got some little progress for the DJ Kefir promotion which can lead to something this year, and the biggest news was...to finally meet Alex of Your Favorite Enemies, and welcoming ASAHI-chan to our family!
This year, for me, can u believe it, I'm turning 40!!! Wow, I've already lived half the life of the Japanese average life expectancy)))
To start my new year, my life changed! My husband started working in Tokyo. For me, I think families should not live seperately. But it's just for one year and we have Julie. We thought it wouldn't be a really good idea if she changes school twice in one year. And Nagoya and Tokyo is not too far. And we have skype. And it will also be good for me to think about myself and about marriage. I am a person who can't stay in a bird cage. I need to be out, flying outside the cage. If I am freed, I would fly for some time but would stop and sit on a branch to see myself from a different direction.
I think 2011 is a gift from God. I think He gave me a chance to think how I would want to live my latter half of my life. I am a wife, I am a mother, and I am a host mother. But also I am ME! Maybe some women think, "Oh, I'm already 40....I'm so old..." As years pass, you will, of course, get old. But I would think it this way...It's just the years you have lived. 39 years made what I am now. I have so many things in my mind that I want to do. I have so many dreams that I need to make them come true.
This year, I will, of course, do my job, but at the same time, I am going to do my best I can to stay energetic, positive, happy, young, and beautiful! I want to sparkle out into the world!!!! (^^)/
So friends, give me lots of inspiration! Your smiles, your words, your messages, your music (this is to my artist friends), they all help me!!!
Let's inspire each other and make it a great year!
I have already started a good one!
Lots of Love,
Sakichan:)

ReplyDeleteYour blog is just..wow...
You are speaking hope, Sakiko! Your positive energy and love to life flows out from you, contaging and filling anyone who lucked out to get closer to you and know you!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your heart with me and other friends of yours..
You know, reading this post helped me to understand you more, as first, during that Skype meeting, when you got us to know that your husband had moved to Tokyo for a year to work, I was amazed how happy you sounded and wondered "What makes her that happy? Is it that cool when your family is being taken apart?" And I got an idea, an image of you as a bord, flying freely in the skies, tweeting, enjoying life, the bird who would be suffer a lot if being kept in a cage.. Now I see that was right :) And now I understand what was happiness was all about! You're a beautiful bird, dear Sakiko, so fly high, discover new lands and its beauties, seeding hope and life, and love all over places you'll touch with your colorful wings!
Keep being an inspiration and being inspired!!!
May 2011 show you what you're searching for!
I love you lots
