Hi! I’m Felicia Nagamatsu, and this is Your Journey Of You. My road from Awful to JOY has been quite a trip! But I have Overcome and YOU can too. I will tell my story, and we will have a good time. Life is really pretty funny.
I’m just beginning… taking off the Scarf of Silence to tell about my funny, scary, angry, poignant journey to JOY. It will take time to cover everything, but I’ll share how I overcame mental illness, including anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, depression, marriage, motherhood and 50 years of dieting. I’ll share HOW I overcame physical health problems –vision problems, HSV virus, pelvic prolapse, medication-induced memory loss, and am now reversing scoliosis and osteoporosis. I am completely free from ALL medications, after 25 years on anti-depressants.
I almost called it How an Italian girl from New York married a Japanese boy from California and lived… We’ve seen a lot together, survived culture shock, a mail order bead business, cub scouts, and becoming a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Of my 65 years on this planet, I spent 37 years suffering and the last 28 years learning to heal. On the way, I learned a lot of tips and shortcuts. What took 28 years for me, you can do in months.
The plan is to craft a DIY guide to a life free from suffering. Yes, Pain comes to everyone, but Suffering – that is optional. Don’t do it. I’ll show you how to trade in your suffering for JOY. Like trading in your beatup old car. Or your cell phone. YOU are eligible for an Upgrade!
APOLOGY – My current project is to Banish Perfectionism. Trying to be Perfect causes paralysis. I know! To break my pattern, I am blasting ahead without knowing what I am doing. You will find lots of bloopers. Laugh with me. Rejoice & know I’m breaking free. Because I have a Big Goal. I want to get this to you quickly… because people are suffering and NO ONE needs to suffer. Your Journey of You can be a delight.
I invite you to HELP ME create this blog with Your comments.
Please TELL ME which topics you want to learn & laugh about first, and I’ll put that at the top of the list.
And always know, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Many of you are my friends and family. I write to you personally.
Love and light,
Felicia
