OMG! It has been so long last time I blogged.
Even the blog format has been changed.
Once (I don't even remember when), I had a phone call from someone telling me, "Do you still have a studio? Are you still doing SAORI Weaving? Your website is down."
Thank you so much!! Yes, it was down for a while.
Anyway, Dan and I are doing fine.
Dan was Up North in MN last school year (Sept. 2011-May. 2012).
I stayed in Chaska with my dog FUKU.
He is back and got a job in the city fortunately.
I have been enjoying SAORI and Taiko (Japanese Drum).
I think I started SAORI in September, 1996 in Japan and started Taiko here in MN in 2008.
So, it is my celebration month for both SAORI (16 years!!) and Taiko (4 years!!).
As of Sept. 1, I am now a full member of Mu Daiko performance group!
My dream came true!!
The first Mu Daiko concert I went to was in the fall of 2008, several weeks after I started taking classes.
All the performers/teachers became my STARS!!
"WOW! I wish I could be there on the stage with them."
Now, I practice/perform with them.
I still need to learn a lot, but it is FUN!
SAORI....WOW, it has been 16 years.
I did a lot both in Japan and here in MN.
Special month of September for me....something new has to happen?
Yes, I am in the progress.
Oh, this is NEW!
Bengala Dye...Fun and Easy, but it has a deep story...
Dan and I took a workshop while we were in Japan last summer. Yes, we were fortunate to go back to Japan to visit with my family last summer.
It was nice to see my family as well as all my friends in Japan!
Now, Dan and I are happy to introduce this new dye in the U.S.
The very first workshop will be in October! Let me know if you are interested in taking a workshop with us!
I was in Wisconsin for Sheep and Wool Festival.
I usually teach 2 classes there, BUT ooooooops, I forgot to propose classes this year.
So, I sat in the booth for 3 days.
I learned a big lesson, SO I will NEVER forget to propose classes from now on.
Dan will be in North County Fiber Fair this weekend in SD.
I will be home helping my business and will be weaving when I have time.
Here are just a little bit of pictures from recently....I will try to post a little at a time. Yes, that means I will blog more often! PROMISE!!

Mistakes already made ...
And part of going for it involves making mistakes. Frustrations is part of passion masked. The good news ... a problem solved. May your sunny day meet you with the courage to be bigger than your problems. Kind Regards, Dan
Setting the Stage; Aspiring for more
How often do we want more out of life, but do not go for it? How often do we have good ideas and not try things? Well, here is an opportunity for all. Try, try, try. I am a meditation teacher, a businessperson and someone who is passionate about creating better health conditions in our world. Please come back to see my weekly posts about meditation, health and wellness, exercise, yoga, business engagement, dharma, new things happening with me and a community of people who are living from their passions and helping others and learning as we go.
Remember, compassion means with passion.
