Amazing

Last Sunday was beyond amazing. The day started off simply, relaxing at home. Then we met a friend and did a little sightseeing.





But it was the evening that was nothing like I expected before I came here. In a wonderful little pub overlooking the beautiful Nagasaki Dejima Pier I sang with my friends.

It's not unusual to sing in a pub or with friends, but how often does a person get to sing with an incredibly talented Irish band in Japan? Yes, that's right, I sang for the first time in front of an audience with the O'ttories. Needless to say, I was terrified but I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Today I've had the profound revelation that I am truly blessed. It is such an opportunity for me to live my dreams by going to Japan and I'm making such wonderful friends in the process. I've realized that in order to really enjoy life I have to put myself out there and be a part of something bigger than myself.

In my quest for connections with Japan I have established a friendship with a really wonderful resident of Nagasaki. Koshiro and I have connected through our love of Celtic music and I would love to share this with everyone. His band the O'Ttories play traditional Celtic tunes using a variety of traditional instruments. It is a really lovely blend of cultures and I hope you get as much pleasure from listening to them as I did.
