WRITINGS
At the turn of the
21st century, I embarked on a road to a second career. After
fifteen years of teaching under my belt, I decided to launch the new
millennium with a writing profession. A Japanese magazine located in Tokyo
jumped started my writing career when it hired me to write feature stories
for its cover. Since then, I’ve had writings published in print magazines
and online websites. Although I’ve covered a wide range of topics and
various forms of writing, my emphasis lies in penning articles and
analyses.
Personal essays are some accounts of my past experiences in the United States and overseas.
Personal Essays:

A Garden Never Was
“How could anyone fail to grow a garden in the jungle?” my supervisor once asked me.
My horticulture nightmare began when I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa. I was advised to grow a vegetable garden so I could maintain a healthy diet of green fibers at my isolated post in the jungle. This idea horrified me. How could I acquire a ‘green thumb’ after having every plant ever given to me died within a month?....(READ MORE)
The Loss of a Pet Meant Much More...
It was the day after a heavy downpour that my Akita dog, Taki, had a swelling above his right eye and a puffy right cheek. He appeared to have a fever as he stood trembling in the brisk cold morning ....(READ MORE)
A Woman's Enlightenment
What awakens a woman to embrace her feminine qualities?
A wonderful slideshow that reveals the essence of being a woman – “The Bright Red Hat”....(READ MORE)
Ayu Fishing in Kitani-kyo
When the Japanese summer gets too sultry and unbearable, all I can think about is something cool. I want to eat something cool, or drink something cool, or jump into something cool ...(READ MORE)
