Gift of my favorite photo with Granddaughter's Cherry Blossom art!Picture of our feelings, Christmas Eve 1961!
Sharing how it all began in 1970 when Sam talked me into taking Job of documenting the PNW Japanese Experience at UofW Archives.
Sam, you raised us up "to stand on mountains", "I am strong, when I am on" the shoulders of our family and your besties, who were there to support me!
I was escorted to the event and to the stage on the arms of my adopted sons, Tom and David. What a night! Do I ever have a lot of “thankful energy" that needs to be shared.
To my OMOIDE friends: "You raise me up to more than I can be"!
What I realize is that it is now part of my resume and gives me credibility which I can use as I continue to SPREAD RIPPLES OF COMPASSION AND GENEROSITY, ONE CONVERSATION AT A TIME. I’m pretty good with asking question with the story sessions that I’m doing for the OMOIDE VII project. Hope I’m learning to be a good listener. Love this connecting with people and sharing.
