My daughter-in-law, Alicia, is a bundle of energy. If you get to play a board game with her, and want to win, you must play as though your life depends on it. Otherwise, you have no chance of winning. Even then, you might have to go defeated. She’s FOCUSED! That said, we (Alicia, Michael, Sebastian and I – Emi had the flu and was immersed in her studies at Columbia, Sumi, Toshi and Sophie were/are in Japan, Yang and Han were understandably tired from working long hours at their business, and Alex was visiting family in Virginia) had an absolutely marvelous holiday week together in Raleigh, even though, alas, we never won a game, not once, nada. Right, Michael?
Alicia said she’s on board for posting on this blog. This will be a real treat as she’s upfront in how she thinks, talks, acts and writes, and will bring everything she knows about a subject, the good and not so good of it, to her postings. We’re a little bit nervous about this, ha ha, just kidding, Alicia. We trust.
Just like Emi, Alicia is a 29/11, which means, among other things, she needs to release lots of creative energy and not keep it within. Exercise is the perfect way of doing this. After reading Dan Millman’s book, The Life You Were Born to Live, danmillman.com she hasn’t stopped exercising. It works, she says.
Michael was a die-hard New Yorker when he went to Raleigh to visit a high school friend. Destiny plays a part in one’s life at times, other words can be used in place of destiny, but, for now, lets stick with destiny, and he met Alicia on the first evening of his visit. Ten years later, New York still holds a place in Michael’s heart, but Raleigh is where he hangs his Yankee cap (if you can wrestle it away from him). And so, a big Korean family from Virginia became part of our family and we became part of theirs when Alicia and Michael married.
Alicia’s mind keeps going, and so her posts will have a whole slew of topics she’ll want to discuss. It’ll be a lot fun and very interesting. Indeed!
Beautiful post to read. I am glad you had such a great time in the good ole NC. We loved having you here. Looking forward to more Scrabble play!
Guys, yes please…can’t wait to hear more. : ) Alicia, please do share! I’m also a 29/11 and really am so inspired! I feel so much energy coming through and it is still being cultivated you could say. ; ) It’s like being given a ball of fast moving energy and weaving it into intricate unfoldings…working it in any creative expression we choose. However, if we block it, it begins to express in a warped kinda way, causing a bit of extreme inner chaos! To be given numerous outlets of expression is such a privilege in itself, and we must lean to master each one…hence why being given the title, Master Number 11, double creative energy, is no accident. Creative energy in itself is creative energy at its purest, uninterrupted flow. Double that again, and yep, you can expect some pretty amazing contributions. The energy will always find ways to be released, returning to the One, but how it is manifested back into this world, depends on how well we weave/juggle/compose/instruct the buzz. By the sounds of the above, Alicia, your focus and dedication means waking up many more of us….thank you for suddenly appearing in my realm! Love from Melbourne xx
