新的心地

Today is my sixth day of fasting. We ate apple. Drink something to clear our intestine.  For me, my challenges were always my heart.  It sometimes runs fast and I started to sweat.  The 2nd day, I bump my head because of dizziness and I moved too fast.  This time, I feel npt too bad and time flies.  The only thing is nothing come out of the other end. I highly recommend people to fast once awhile. To give your body and digestive system a break.  It's an ancient method of getting healthy.  It's not beimg promoted because nobody can make money out of this.  I am a true witness of this. Hopefully, I can do this again in July.  And my friends, you are invited.

5th day complete.  I have met a lady, fighting cancer for 10 years. With all the treatments she couldn't eat or drink anything. After 7days of fasting, she could enjoy an orange. She was very thankful. Dow-Yi master told us, fasting is for us to learn to cut 貪憎癡。 Repent what we have done.  Besides becoming healthy, I also learned life can be so simple and easy.  And nothing is impossible.  We have been eating nonstop since we were born, our digestive system needs a break. I highly recommend everyone doing it. At least once a year. Can be just 3 days fasting.

Today, I complete 4 days fasting.  There is a lot of free time. To think nothing.  Do nothing. Fasting, this is my 6th time.  I do this for my health and have benefit a lot from it.  I have done fasting with more than 1000 people with many medical cases like cancer, diabetes, brain tumor, lupus, depression, arthritis, high blood pressure, sleeping disorder...anything you can name it.  During fasting, we don't take shower, touch water.  We take walks, breathing, chanting and meditate.  A lot of good results. I recommend everyone to give their digestive system a break.

Feeling great today. With a lot of time. We do breathing, meditation, praying for medicine God....twice a day. Take a walk twice a day. Go to bed at 8 pm. Looking forward to the next few days .

I had a tough night.  my heart beating fast, my clothes were wet from sweat. My right kidney hurt very much and didn't sleep whole night.  Hopefully today I will feel better. May God bless me and the other 3 ladies who is fasting with me.

No food for 24 hours.  Sleepy and tired.  Using the time to rest, recharge. Wish me luck. This is my 6th times fasting. For my health.

Today, I clean junk of my desk section.  I see I have a lot of notebooks and bags. Little ones,  medium sized, with zipper, made of fabric...all types of bags for ...I also have A lot of paper... Tomorrow, I will start fasting for 7 days.  My body needs cleansing.  So is our space.  I feel good after threw away junk.  Clean space, clean soul!

Everytime I help my son with his homework or something else, we always end up screaming and yelling, tears...I was up with him till 1 am.  I want to be a disciplined mom.  I wish that he finishes what he needs to do first before having fun... He gets tired, frustrated... Me too.  Today, we made a deal that we will try to be calm and not angry at each other. God please give me wisdom and strength.  My husband and I are working so hard.  I am not going to support my lazy children is my theory.

I had a discussion with my husband. He said when I talk to him and my children, I don't give them 100% of my attention.  I get information I want to hear. Or in the middle of the conversation, I will go do something else.  Later, when I need to repeat the information, sometimes it's inaccurate. It's hard to hear the truth. However, I need to improve on my problem to get better.

I went to flower arrangement class with Mika today. This is our creation! I love our work! I have been working hard. Flower Arrangement class relaxes me.  Especially the creative part!  It mKes me feel good!

Headache... I seldom have headache.  Many days of stress. Maybe feel a little break from it... There are pressure points that really help. I need a break from all these.  Sunday I will start fasting for a week!

Today, I cried first time at work.  I am just grateful when we need help, people are kind. No questions asked, just say ok.  These challenges at work make me humble.  A new experience to me.  However, stressful.  I am wondering how people go through things like this. May God bless us!

Today, we had lunch with Ethan's 1st Second grade teacher 湯老師 and classmates.  湯 老師 is so sweet and kept all of their School work like treasures and pass to them.  She met students in the restaurant she taught 30 years ago.  She is creative, fun, and loving.  Ethan was very lucky to be taught by her.  Bless her and everyone in the class.

Today is father's day in the west.  Wishing all the fathers healthy and happy. I have the best father in the world.  He only graduated from elementary school and started working since 13.  He is generous, kind, humorous , very caring, loving and caring.  I wanted my husband to be like him. I love you dad.

My Aunt, Yuen-ah, 84 years old, is in Taida hospital.  She has a very outgoing aid from China.  Shao-jun is her name.  She has big smile on her and took my aunt to sing last night.  Under her care, my aunt walked around and with great improvement. . The key thing is my aunt has very good temper and doesn't like to bother others.  She wants to get better soon.  she misses her husband and waiting to see him.  She is very thankful and thanks everyone for little things. I know with the right attitude, she will get better very soon. Seeing elderly going through pain breaks my heart. May God bless them all.

I am in Taipei with my family.  In the morning I went to see my aunt who I call 土城媽媽 since I was young.  She is in hospital now.  I am very sorry for what she is going through. I like talking to my parents about grandma, aunt, brother, sister...school, kids, classmates, trip they took.  My father shared about all his friends has bad memory.  Always forget things. I love my family and I am glad that we are very close and supportive of each other.

Today is my birthday! I actually lost count of my age.  I feel young anyway! I did my kriya breathing, meditation...then worked 12 hours.  I actually cried in the early morning with mix feelings.  I am grateful and thankful with everything.  Also concerned with challenges ahead of us.  I really appreciate all of my friends and families birthday wishes and prayers. Nana cooked for coworkers and I bought drinks for them.  Now heading to Taipei to sing happy birthday with my kids, parents, and brother's family.  Rob left to China 5am. What's the reason for being busy, running around.  I wish my life being more meaningful and helpful to others' lives. May god bless and take care of everyone.

We are experiencing the biggest challenges in our career.  Please give me strength and wisdom to face everything.  We also need to pick up pur speed. I believe God makes the best arrangements including this one! I surrender!

Today , after almost 6 months of working on Balance Sheet and Income Statement, combined entities.... We all come to an agreement on many numbers, move forward with consistency. It's kind of relief.  And need to move on to the next project. I feel calm even we are going through the most difficult time of our career.  However, the future is bright and success is waiting for us.  JGD! God bless us all!

I am happy to help to teach a happiness course in Taichung.  I am grateful to be alive and useful.  I am happy to share my experience with others.  Practice non stop is the key.  I am glad I can do something to make a difference in other people 's life.   Bless everyone! 

I helped teaching a Happiness Course today.  It's nice to be given this opportunity to share my experience with many people today.  Guruji said" we need celebration , peace, and seva in our life" May everyone find the victory within themselves overcoming the chattering small self.

My flower arrangement of today.  Summer is here.  My teacher David is a great artist. Very strict.  He shared that from our work, he could tell what kind of personality and attitude towards life... Like a fortune teller.  planning, doing good basic foundation work is the key.  Nothing escape from his eyes.   I enjoy my flower arrangement class everyweek.  It's my expression of beauty and art.

My aunt , 阿雲， 84， who took care of me after one week I was born is sick.  She is more than a mother to me except giving birth to me.  She is so loving and caring. Gave birthday to 4 kids, 3 kids from my family, cook for the entire factory, my grand parents, hand wash clothes for everyone, 12 grand children...she was more than a superwoman.  Always very optimistic and grateful for everything she has. I sense something was wrong and ask to call ambulance.  A minor stroke she has.  Yesterday, suddenly she couldn't walk.  Fall 3times when she insist on taking shower herself.  Always thinking for others.  Didn't want to bother anyone. My uncle takes very good care of her and very gentle to her surprised me when they get older.  He cook for her. They show me what true love is. I love them dearly and feel sorry for her. Bless her for quick recovery.

Congratulations my beautiful Mika.  Daddy said it's about moving forward to the next stage! We wish you all the best. !

Rainbow and sunshine.  What a great combination. We all need to stop and take a deep breath and enjoy the sunshine.  E 

Yesterday, I went to visit a painting supplier.  There were 400 frames unpainted for over 1 month.  My husband was really upset and ready to move everything. I communicate with her heart to heart with sincerity.  I am also open with the trouble we are facing plus the goals we need to teach.  We set 2 weeks time and move away things she can't handle.  I told her we need to build our trust again and move on.  Also need to finish what we have here. Next two week, I will monitor closely.  Make sure not to let all these nonsense happen again.  I also make a promise to come back next week. Talk with understanding, sincerity, open minded...create win win situation. I am good at this.  And wondering why people can't do the same.  If after the talk and didn't happen the direction we planned, then iy's time to move on.

Heading to China.  I have been working a lot recently. Hopefully it's all worth it.  I learned that the result is not so important but doing your 100% and enjoy the process is the key.  We are being, not doing. Surrender to the divine.  Bless everyone. Have a great weekend!

One of my friend she married to a very weathy family.  Her cancer came back and she had a surgery removed 1/3 of her stomach.  Today she shared in her facebook what her Chinese doctor said to her made her really depressed. I shared my story and every way I did that helped me.  Hopefully she will find peace in her mind. I don't understand (I also see myself) not letting go eventhough we can't do it anymore.  Let it go! Let it go! Art of Mika today and yesterday. Bless her.

Art of my daughter from yesterday.  Have a great day!
