Welcome

Hi and Welcome,

We began living in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2018. I’m a Japanese-Canadian, having migrated from Canada in 2011. This blog started from my passion for self-improvement, which is deeply rooted in the Japanese concept of “Kaizen.” The word “Kaizen” is widely used in Japan, where I was born and raised. My husband affectionately calls me a “bookworm” because I always read. Every Sunday, I post about whatever projects or thoughts I’m currently focused on.

There are two contributors to this blog. My husband will post a blog every other day, sharing his journey. Just before turning 35, he suffered a severe stroke that left him mostly paralyzed. After intense rehabilitation, he made a remarkable recovery, regaining full mobility. Today, he can run even better than before. His story reminds me constantly of how essential it is to practice “Kaizen” in everyday life. Last year, I invited him to share some of his personal journals here, and his perspective has enriched our content.
