Apologies for the delay! This newsletter is arriving a day late because I’ve just returned from a breathtaking Amtrak journey through the Rockies, traveling from Denver to San Francisco with my husband. It was an unforgettable ride: winding rivers, golden aspens, and long stretches of quiet that felt like a moving meditation. Highly recommend if you ever need to reset. Now, back to the blog! This week, I reflected on Tsukimi and the rabbit in the moon, exploring the theme of sacrifice, and its limits. The story we tell ourselves about selflessness is beautiful, but sometimes, it’s okay to say “enough.” Especially under a full moon. I also shared a personal piece: From expat to insider, where I unpack what Japan taught me about communication. It’s not just about language, it’s about listening, reading the air, and learning when silence speaks louder than words. And for something light and delicious: Easy weekend cooking: tamago-sando. This humble egg sandwich was my go-to lunch in Shinagawa, and it still brings me joy. I share a simple recipe and a few nostalgic bites of konbini life. Thanks for your patience and for being part of this journey. Whether you’re riding trains, watching the moon, or making sandwiches. I’m so glad you’re here.
