Sista in Tokyo

Mommy Daughter Portrait

We are fine.  I am writing this brief post from my in-law's home in Oregon with my lovely little Baby K sound asleep at my side.  G is still in Tokyo, missing us :) and we are truly missing him.  It's been a long and intense past few weeks, but things are beginning to get back to normal and we hope to return to Tokyo at the end of this month.

I truly appreciate everyone's sweet messages and prayers.  With the excepton of a minor inconvenience it caused our family, we are fine.  However, the Tohoku region is not fine and my guess is that it will not be for some time.  The Tohoku region holds a very special place in my heart, as I considered Sendai my "Japan Hometown" since I attended Tohoku University.  I am still in disbelief over what has happened there.  Please, keep the region and victims in your prayers as they begin to get their heads around it all and attempt to rebuild.

Black Professionals in Tokyo Meet-Up Tonight, Friday 7.3.09

This evening I'm headed to the Black Professionals in Tokyo Meet-Up at 57. 

Tonight will be the first meeting in which a presenter will be featured to discuss starting your own business here in Japan.  Among the normal mix-mingle and cocktails, it promises to be a great night full of good people and helpful information for both veterans and newcomers!  Hope to see you there!! 

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT: First Friday's Tokyo

In the great spirit of promoting small business and Golden Week in Japan, I am providing a free advertising plug for First Friday's Japan of Word Up Japan Production (my charity advertising donation for the month).  For you Sista in Tokyo readers, if you're in the Tokyo area this week be sure to check out First Friday's Japan at the new location MIDAS.

Looks like they're trying to do big things over there, so a sista wanted to show a little love!  Have I ever been?  Nah.  Will I ever go?  Sure I'll check it out if I'm in Tokyo during that time and the price is right.   (errr ummm...  To the Owner & Promoter--  If you hook a sista up with free entry there's always an adverstising home for you at Sista in Tokyo.) 

Think about it!  Happy Golden Week!
