Reinventing Ourselves

My Japanese study of the day from Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan.

Broken, But Made More Beautiful.

In Japan, there is a beautiful art called Kintsugi—the practice of repairing broken pottery with gold.

Instead of hiding the cracks, they highlight them.
Because the break is part of the story… not something to erase.

Rooted in the philosophy of wabi-sabi, kintsugi reminds us:

✨ You are not broken
✨ Your scars hold meaning
✨ Healing can make you more beautiful than before

What if the hardest parts of your life are actually your gold? What do you think?

My Japanese study of the day from Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan:

There’s something powerful about slowing down long enough to simply… write. 🖌️

In Japan, calligraphy—Shodō, the “way of writing”—is more than art. It’s a form of meditation. Each brushstroke reflects your breath, your focus, and your state of mind. There are no erasers—just presence, intention, and acceptance.

In a world that constantly pushes us to go faster, maybe true wellness is found in moments like this… slowing down, being present, and letting your energy flow—one stroke at a time.

One of the exciting opportunities that Reinventing Ourselves has is sharing the stories of survivors. Some people have extraordinary challenges in life, some tragedies, some struggles that are so overwhelming they feel they will never see the light ...

We share these stories to give hope to others, to show you that they are Thriving After The Fire and you can too!!

Some stories begin in tragedy—but end in purpose.In this powerful episode of Thriving After the Fire, Tanya Phillips sits down with Andrew Martin, founder of...
