This week, I was invited to KPU's launch of the first TCM Bachelor's degree in Canada to speak on behalf of the ATCMA. It's wonderful to get to share in the excitement of students on their career path, and it made me reminisce about my TCM student days--a quarter century + ago!!! One student remarked about how it has changed her for the better to study this powerful medical system. It's true. It happened for me too!

Can you see the little handmade veggies and fruits on top of my book? Swipe left to see them more clearly. These adorable little foods were given to me by a patient who was gifted them long ago, and she thought I'd love them. I do!

What does a Dr.TCM/acupuncturist do for a hobby? Needlework, of course. My newest hobby is visible mending and sachiko. I gave my sister this shirt, made by , awhile ago, but her dog had torn some huge holes in it. My sister loves this shirt, so I added the girls in kimono 👘 material and did the white sachiko (Japanese style) stitching. First project, and I'm working on the next item now.

I believe that having a creative hobby is a great way to wind down (my meditation 🧘‍♂️) and calm the mind.

What do you do to unwind and relax?

Today, I had the opportunity to speak about Chinese Medicine food cures to my fellow colleagues at the 2025 China-Canada Traditional Chinese Medicine Expert Forum. I also got to see my fellow classmates, .kimtcm (who presented a wonderful and important talk about end-of-life care and palliative care) and Felicia (who I haven't seen for about 2 decades!). I was there as well to represent , alongside board members Charity and Sam. It was wonderful to hear the ongoing support for TCM from leaders--the Consul General Zhi Zeng, Member of Parliament Chak Au, and former MLA Henry Yao. And, last, but certainly not least, we continued to strengthen the relationships between our TCM associations. A busy but encouraging and productive day! Now... 😴

Most days I do the NYT Wordle, Connections, and mini crossword (I love word games). Today I was happy to see something related to my profession on the Connections game. Can you pick the groupings? 4 words paired, 4 groups.

I graduated from ICTCM (now Tzu Chi ICTCM) 24 years ago, and visited it today! It's moved locations, and there are lots of changes--of course--including the newish president Dr. Situ (who was super welcoming), but it still feels nostalgic!

Check out Umami, an art show at . My Nana's sumie Japanese paintings are there until September 27, alongside the work of other talented artists. I love that my Nana still brings family together, though she passed away at age 103 two years ago. Here are just some of the cousins. And a photo of Nana's "kids," except my mom couldn't attend as she was lecturing in Winnipeg (retired, not/never retired).

I don't know if you know, but in addition to being a Dr.TCM in clinical practice, I'm also the Executive Director the TCM association of BC, ATCMA. On Monday, I went to Victoria to the Parliament buildings to meet with provincial leaders, alongside (president of our association), to speak on behalf of TCM and help continue to drive it forward.
