Once you start blogging it’s hard to stop, isn’t it? I have four blogs, including one for my life in Japan, and one for my life in my mind 😛 Looking forward to your short stories, and if you have time please take a look at my writing site, http://www.vividhunter.wordpress.com/ ^^

You won’t regret it. It’s quite beautiful, I think. But it’s a different kind of beauty than England.

Thanks for the award. However, I won’t be able to post it on this blog, as this is more of an official author’s site. But I appreciate it 🙂

Ah, I’ve received the same award for 3 of my blogs now. But I haven’t posted any because I have been too busy. It’s either post the award or post about something I’ve been meaning to post about. But I hope to get around to them. I’ll probably accept this on my writing blog 🙂

Hi Jay,
I’m Dean from japantravelmate.com. I’ve been a keen follower of your photos for a while.
At the moment I’m finishing up an article about sakura in 2013. I’d love to feature you, if you have a special sakura photo from 2013 you’d be willing to share with my audience.
Of course you’d be fully accredited, with links back to your site or the original post.
Let me know if you’re happy to help! Send me an email 🙂

Hello Jay Dee,
I really enjoyed your phrase “and uses the Oxford comma.” I’m not sure exactly why, but it made me smile.

Thanks! I just find the Oxford comma is very useful in some situations. It prevents misunderstandings.

Hi, Jay Dee!! Do you know TENQ, a beautiful and attractive space museum near Suidoubashi station?
Their project mappings were awesome! Robot game was fun and I tried twice. Finding “Dark Patch on Mars Research” made me sit on the booth for a hour.
There were also beautiful paintings about stars and souvenir shop selling space foods and other stuffs like “Space Brothers Postcards.”
They don’t limit what a space museum should be. For example, they show us beautiful flowers on a high quality screen. “This is not a botanic museum, why?” “It’s in space! Beautiful! It’s OKay!”. They have a baseball glove Astronaut Wakata brought to ISS. “This is not a baseball museum!” “It”s okay! The glove traveled space with Wakata.”
Theater in the museum are in a dark room. So, if you like to visit there with Tommy, ask her if she fears dark rooms.
“Dark Patch Finding Research” is from elmentary school 5th grade.
Overall, I think you are sure to like this museum!! Visit TENQ when you come to Japan.
Today, I was there because I wanted to see Astronaut Kanai go to space by Soyuz rocket.
They had a “public viewing” corner.
The launch finished successfully!
Thank you for reading.

Hi Jay Dee,
I hope you are doing lovely!
On behalf of Kaiva Rose, I want to warmly share a link to her first book in the chronicles of Rou Odyssey, Look Beyond (RouOdyssey.com) and, attached, early access to the first chapter! You’re one of the first we’re sharing it with and we ask that you please refrain from sharing it with your community, just yet. We’re sharing it because we’d love to interview you and feature you in our book!
I welcome you to read the first chapter and see what comes up for you. Perhaps, you will find likeness to your own experiences, adventures or philosophies. We’d love to hear the synchronicities.
Rou Odyssey was born from years of studying ancient philosophies as well as modern understandings of metaphysical and spiritual things. Inspired in its symbolic language by great minds such as Homer, William Shakespeare, Bertolt Brecht and many others.
Rou Odyssey is a coming of age tale about a young woman who learns about the power of leading with love, amidst the uncertainties in her hero’s journey.
At its core Rou Odyssey is meant to inspire a sense of awareness toward the power of Leading with Love as a means to create evolution in our human collective experience.
We launch the eBook with full illustrations on January 28th! And would be glad to give your community access to the book for free for 7 days following the launch! Rou Odyssey has an important message to share and we want to offer it for free first as a celebration of that message
And if we’d love to invite you to join us in an exclusive interview that will be part of our book launch. Here is an example interview with artist Nicholas Harper that will be linked in our book. We’d love to include yours as well!
Best,
Patrick
