My Inability to Cope with Japanese Beauty

By Amy January 13, 2021 April 12, 2021 0

When I first moved to Japan, my beauty routine fell apart. A lot of the products I’d used in the US aren’t sold here, and even when I lived in the US, where I could read the labels, I struggled to find the right products. I wanted things that at …

Cross-Posting To Medium Gives Me Intense Anxiety

By Amy January 12, 2021 January 12, 2021 0

I’m not feeling quite as joyous today as yesterday. As a matter of fact, I’m stuck in the freeze response (ie: fight, flight, or freeze). Oy, just writing those first two sentences took quite a bit of effort. Ever since I moved my blog, the WordPress Reader hasn’t sent me …

It’s Time For Some Escapist Joy

By Amy January 11, 2021 January 11, 2021 1

I thought that writing here regularly would be difficult, but I found it pretty easy last week, even enjoyable. This weekend, I was in a better mood than I have been in years. Is it the daily writing practice? I don’t know. I even felt compelled to write in my …

Yes, We Still Need Courage

By Amy January 8, 2021 February 8, 2021 2

On social media, a friend of mine wrote a long post about courage. She was referencing the political strife that’s going on in the US and how we need a show of courage from certain politicians (I’m not going to reiterate her whole post here), but it got me thinking …

Nothing is a Magic Pill, but You Can Change Your Life

By Amy January 7, 2021 February 3, 2021 0

I’m feeling really excited and energized today. Last night, when I heard about the Georgia senate race, I cried. I don’t know if I’d call them tears of joy. More like tears of hope. Given the rest of the news (is anyone surprised?), things will be challenging going forward, but …

I Shine If You Shine

By Amy January 6, 2021 January 6, 2021 0

I’m about halfway through the book Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman. In the book, they go into detail about a concept they invented called Shine Theory. Apparently, it was a viral hashtag back in its day. Until I read about it …

I Think Gratitude Still Works

By Amy January 5, 2021 January 5, 2021 0

I’m feeling a little down today. Maybe a little overwhelmed. I listened to the beginning of Brene Brown on Tim Ferris’ podcast and they talked about finding the balance between self-acceptance and achievement. Conceptually, I don’t really struggle with this, but sometimes, I struggle with it practically. Like, this blog. …

Sifting to Find the Good Stuff on the Internet

By Amy January 4, 2021 February 8, 2021 0

Sometimes, when I’m reading an article that I really like, I’ll stop just before the end and do something else for a few minutes. I don’t consciously decide to stop. I stand up, and halfway to the other thing, I’ll realize that I’d stopped reading. I do this because I …

It’s Christmas and Time to Prepare for a Beautiful Week

By Amy December 25, 2020 December 26, 2020 0

Every time I come here to write lately, I’m surprised that this blog has so few entries. I keep forgetting that I just moved my blog because I’ve changed blogs so many times. If I think back and try to count, I’ve had around 9 (maybe more) different blogs over …

I Put Every Piece In Place

By Amy December 21, 2020 December 21, 2020 10

I’m frustrated. Why? It’s everything. It’s nothing. I woke up feeling this way. Actually, I’m a little better now than I was when I first woke up. I made my way to a cafe, and I’m sitting in a secluded corner. The photo above is of a decaf soy ginger …
