I have to talk about my another 39 years old Birthday party on 03/12/2010.
I am going to move to New york for my new challenging exploration in this month.
So, I was so so busy for my moving preparation.
30 years ago, I came to L.A all by myself.
No friends, No family, No credit, No job, nothing, except my passion for my dream in America.
30 years later, I have too many things for myself.
As my treasure, my son, beautiful friends and my family's healthy body and minds, I appreciate so much and would love to keep them for long times.
But, my furniture, dresses, shoes, jewelry, art pictures and my favorite car "Jaguar",
I had to clean out most of them. I did it so hard for these 3 weeks ( except my car).

I feel happy that I did it now, otherwise my son have to do these things after I die 45 years later.I was so busy, but I made 3~4 parties with my family friends.

Big one was my another 39 years old Birthday party.
In last week, my favorite young friend's 37 years old Birthday party.
They are MBA students from Japan and another countries.
I cooked "Chanko Nabe"
"Chanko" mean "Japanese Sumo wrestler's meal"
They cooked chicken as main meat for "Chanko Nabe" because chicken stand up with two legs like our human.
They try to avoid beef and pork because they use four legs for standing and looks" bad luck" for Sumo wrestlers as "Lose figure"
I think, this is an old story.
Now they eat any kind of meats for "Chanko".
We had wonderful time together.
My young friends will create their great and successful life which I believe that.

If you don't run away from "yourself "when you have tough time in your life.( I am so sure, you will have tough time because that is our life)
Most scary thing is "yourself" in this world.
If you give up for "yourself", nobody can help you.
This is my strong principle for these 30 years as "A Single Mother" in America.
Next time, I will post my blog from New York.
I am so exciting with my new exploration!
Love Love
Keiko
