Happy New Year 2021 !

Happy New year !

2020 was a really strange, unforgettable year for us and we suppose for everyone.

Because so many unusual things had happened.

I was feeling like

" is it real ?

it's a joke, right ? "

Coronavirus problem is still there in most places in the world, so people can not go travel abroad easily. and have to wear face mask when going out.

Last year, there was mass hoarding of basic necessities ( such as toilet papers, tissues, paper towels ), Lock-down, Working at home, etc ...

I suppose it's a big changing year , generation shifts.

As the next Jupiter-Saturn conjunction (21 December 2020) marks an elemental shift (or mutation) from earth to air.

Earth generation ended in December 21' 2020, and after that Air generation has come.

Our views of life and what we value will change.

Until December 21' 2020 from 200 years ago ( Earth generation time period ), material things, authority and money were valued.

and after December 22' 2020, in Air generation, communication and intelligence are going to be valued. and Individuals are respected and valued.

and also earth generation was like a competition world which was based on the pyramid system.

There are top and bottom, ruling dynasty and public.

But in Air generation, the individuality of each person shines abundantly, and becomes a peaceful and equal society.

I am open for it and excited to welcome the new generation.

but I think the change will happen slowly, day by day or year by year in the future, instead of suddenly changed.

Right now, it's lock-down again here, we can not go out after 10 pm to 5 am.

I'm always working at home so for me, nothing has changed but my husband's schedule changed.

and I really liked he was working at home because it 's more fun and easier for my house work.

Also we can save gas fee, and our car does not get damage easily since we did not need to drive highway every day.

But it did not last long, so it's already back to usual again.

I hope he will be working at home again soon.

I'm not really good at making a cake especially putting the cream around the sponge cake, but I made a strawberry peach cake yesterday.

So it's our today's breakfast.

Yummy !

2021 will be a changing year from old system in the world, so I suppose many strange things may happen again.

But no matter what, I believe everything will be fine at the end.

If it's not fine, it's not the end.

I wish many happy things will happen to everyone in the world.

Sweet Food which does not get fat - Warabi mochi

I recently love eating this sweet food that Japanese call " Warabi mochi " which is made of 0 calories food psyllium in my coffee break time. It's sweet food but I use Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener instead of sugar when I make it. Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener is 0 calorie s and 0 glycemic and very similar taste as normal sugar. It is said it's derived from monk fruit, which looks like a small green gourd native to regions of China and Thailand. It's not artificial so it is not bad for health so I feel comfortable eating it. Warabi mochi is a food which is normally made of Kinako ( soybean flour) & sugar & warabi powder and it's one of my favorite foods. However it's high calorie foods so if I eat a lot, it's easy to gain weight. Because Warabi mochi flour is Starch and has sugar in it and is high calorie. So I was not eating it. and then recently I found the recipe of diet Warabi Mochi which is made of Psyllium...

Besides extra virgin olive oil, I’ve been doing a mixture of another great natural formula since two weeks ago.

Franz Liszt’s dangerous love

Franz Liszt was quite tall in his generation, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall , long blonde hair , piercing sharp eyes, pianist' long narrow and delicate hands and fingers. His body build was very slender. People who knew him described his personality as full of charm, charisma, and very knowledgeable. And he loved brainy women. He was the consummate artist. It seems that Liszt loved dangerous love , which thrilled him and gave him excitement rather than a stable, peaceful , safe love. Franz Liszt While reading about his biography, I was wondering why he fell in love with two princesses who were already married. Marie D’Agoult He seems to have had a lot of love affairs in his life, someone found out that he had at least 26 serious relationships in his life ( besides countless other affairs ) but the only ladies he thought about marriage was with these two princesses , Marie D’Agoult and Carolyne Sayn Wittgenstein ? Charlotte Von Hagn ...

Franz Liszt and Frederic Chopin’s friendship Part 1

Frederyk Chopin I’m a long time fan of Chopin’s music since when I was a teenager. Started loving his music from hearing his Polonaise , then Noctunes , Etudes … Frederyk Chopin I was using one of Chopin’s Nocturnes as my background music for my answering machine when I was in my 20s. In Japan, many of his music is famous and used in many TV dramas, commercials, movies, and mostly wealthy bourgeois family scenes. My image of many of Chopin ’s music that I’ve listened to is of a cozy, bourgeois world. From almost all his music I’ve ever heard, I often pictured an elegant, wealthy family’s world or a story about a family who are living in a luxury antique style house. Many of Mozart ’s music reminds me of a social life in an older generation, a story about bourgeois world in a gorgeous luxury palace. For Liszt ’s music, his music is very variety, ranging from an image of a sweet passionate love story for couples, all the way to nightmare horror story type o...

Pierre Franckh’s books “ Successful Wishing “ are another of my favorite books. There are series, 1 to 6 , and are not published in English , but I did find them in a Japanese book store, translated by a Japanese translator.

I love the way how he writes , it’s very easy to read and direct to the point, very clear how to do it with step by step instruction. Also importance of finding what you truly want. Many people are actually not realizing what they really want and then when they get what they wanted, still not feeling satisfied.

Organic foods and healthy living “ You are what you eat ? “

We‘ve been enjoying organic foods since a month ago. Because we care for our health and also organic foods taste more delicious than normal vegetables. Recently, I really feel the famous quote “ You are what you eat . “ is true. Although healthy life comes from balance between mind, body, skin care, good night sleep and activities besides food life . Health is a treasure. Also I realized that “ good blood circulation ” is one of the most important key to keep healthy and look young skin. After being amazed to see Styx’s ageless Tommy Shaw on TV, I started searching about “ secret of youth “. He looks so much younger than his age. Also, there was an interview with Styx on CNN in the morning about a week ago and they talked about what they think are the keys to longevity and a healthy life. http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2012/04/23/ex...

”The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.”　- Albert Einstein　

Originally we were all creative because all children are creative. While growing up, many children lose their creativity by seeing, reading, hearing what many grown ups do and teach. According to a book called " Goal " by Brian Tracy, "Fully 95% of children tested between the ages of three and five are rated as highly creative. Of the same children tested again as teenagers, only about 5% rated as highly creative. What happened to them in the interim ? As they went through school, they were taught that if you want to get along, you follow the crowd. They learned not to question or challenge the teacher or to suggest unusual ideas. In their attempts to be liked and accepted by their peers, they allowed their creativity to die down, like a fire without fuel. " "All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grows up." 　－　Pablo Picasso But if we don't use creativity, we lose it. It means that the more we use cre...

Charm of Kenichi Hagiwara - Shoken

From Japanese Movie " Ame no Amsterdam (Rain in Amsterdam)" I've been into the late 1960s to 1970s generation since several years ago. I don't know why but I'm very interested in older generation's people, trends, lifestyle, scenery, habit, TV drama, music, films, etc.. and not so interested in new things much. There are many new discoveries through checking out old stuff while reading and watching it, which I didn't know before. and about several months ago, I happened to find a youtube video of a famous Japanese actor called Kenichi Hagiwara who was my favorite actor in 1970s when I was a kid. His nickname is Shoken and he is also a singer of Rock/blues music. Shoken( 18 years old) singing ”Legend of Emerald” Shoken was one of the super stars in Japan mainly from the late 60s generation to early 80s. When he was 15 years old, he joined an amateu...
