It’s been far too long since I reached out to you with a blog.  I hope your summer has been full of fun, adventure and appreciation for life.

As you may know, I spent a little extra time in Japan this year touring around and spending “down-time” with several of the Master Trainers there.  The people and the places there continue to touch my heart.  Each time I return home, while always thankful to be home, I have a bit of wistfulness about my experiences in Japan.

Can you believe I have been going there for nine years?  This year was actually my 20th trip to Japan.  Through the years, I have written home to family and friends about my adventures there.  My emails home keep me grounded, but also document the personal growth I have undergone as a result of my travels there. 

For quite some time, my friends have encouraged me to compile my emails into a memoir of sorts.  This year was such a powerful experience, I finally decided to start on that book. 

I am still searching for some missing emails but I would like to share with you a few photos and the beginning draft of my new book.
