Sou uma advogada felizmente aposentada que passa o tempo cuidando de seus três filhos fofos, mas exigentes, preparando o almoço para os veteranos nisseis da Segunda Guerra Mundial todas as quintas-feiras, fazendo bonecas de meia e joias de contas, limpando três cachorros, um coelho e um porco magro, , estudando reiki e massageando pequenos animais se eles deixassem.

Now that Christmas is over (albeit our family is in the final day of Chanukah), a powerful force has taken over our house and fills every moment with anxiousness and anxiety. This demon sweeps over us every year yet somehow, we are never prepared for it. What is it? Why, preparations for New Years of course. If you are not a Buddhahead, you will probably think I am nuts and wonder why anyone would be so terrified by the prospect …

Even though I will always manage to work into any conversation that two of my three children are in the photo book Mixed Kids by Kip Fulbeck, sometimes it is very difficult to be a Jewpanese family in Hawaii. It is particularly tough going when it is the holidays and you are trying to leave out any sort of Christian essence to keep the peace in a Buddhist and Jewish household of five. Even more so when you are trying …
