Conversations with God 99, Starting Again Today
In April 2019, as one person living awake in this present moment, I gratefully wrote my 99th conversation with God. I take it out again today.
1. My doctoral thesis goes to 40 countries
Today is another new day. I thank everyone who has been with me so that I could come this far.
Above all, with both hands joined, I bow deeply to Professor Son Jin-hee of Sun Moon University, my true teacher, who guided me.
Kim Ji-yu's book "Development of Learning Coaching Program Using FEAT," published after the multinational publisher LAMBERT contacted me
Thank you, thank you. My doctoral thesis, "Development of a Learning Coaching Program Using FEAT," has been published in 40 countries through LAMBERT Publishing.
Of the 100-item bucket list I wrote in 2000, one more dream has come true. I am grateful, and grateful again.
2. All thanks to everyone
It is all thanks to the good people who have stayed steadfastly by my side for more than ten years since I opened my institute in 2005.
Thank you~
It's all thanks to you~
I love you~
It is thanks to the Korea Food Expressive Arts Therapy Association (K-FEAT) and everyone who is with us.
Food Expressive Arts Therapy, which clears the mind and body, and the innate spirituality within us, as we eat
3. Mom's eldest daughter pulled it off
My beloved mom, my respected mom — it is all thanks to my mom, our "flower doctor" in "8th grade, class 3" of life.
Mom, your eldest daughter pulled it off.
For the past three years, the first priority of my life has been spending time often with my parents.
My father, who since my childhood stressed the ideal of Hongik Ingan, benefiting all humanity, and taught me "us before me"
To his eldest daughter, now in fourth grade, he said, "Now you must be an older sister who sets an example for your younger siblings."
人死留名 虎死留皮
Learning Chinese characters in fifth grade, I said, "Dad, one day I will leave my name as your daughter, as a daughter of Korea."
I am who I am thanks to my respected father.
4. The words about giving my shoulders wings
My sky, my love, my husband Pooh — when you proposed 20 years ago, you said that if we married, you would give my shoulders wings.
Like the fox in Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince," you said we would tame each other with love as we lived — and it has come true, just as you said. Thank you, I love you.
The blessing heaven gave the two of us on our 20th-anniversary trip to Jeju
Now let us go forward together as founders of Food Expressive Arts Therapy.
Let us go together as an "us" of good influence, helping people bring the flower of spirituality to bloom by themselves as they eat home meals.
5. To bring a flourishing life into bloom
Now Food Expressive Arts Therapy is going out into the world.
The flourishing life of Dr. Martin Seligman, founder of positive psychology
We, the sons and daughters of God the Father, born to bring that life into bloom
FEAT, which helps us notice and awaken to ourselves as we eat home meals in everyday life
Food expression learning-through-play coaching, which helps young people in this land and around the world study while happily playing with food and live as the main characters of their own lives
Now, coming back to the beginning, I will tell myself, standing in my own place, "You have come so far, and so well," praise and embrace myself, and cherish and love myself more.
It is all thanks to the Father, who has always been with me as my guardian angel since I was a child. Thank you, thank you.
Reading today again through Trend Korea 2027
"Trend Korea 2027" speaks of "Homo archivus," people who record and save everything.
The 100-item bucket list I wrote in 2000 was my oldest saved record. A dream written down is not forgotten; when the time came, it flew to 40 countries.
And taking out and reading my conversations with God again today is also the power of records that raises me up again.
What was the dream you wrote down long ago? Write that dream down again in one line today.
