In 1966, the birth rate in Japan dropped 25%—all because it was a Fire Horse year. Girls born then were believed to be headstrong, unlucky, and too powerful to be controlled. Families avoided having daughters out of fear.
I was born in that same Fire Horse year. The Fire Horse returns every sixty years, symbolizing intensity, transformation, and bold action. Now in 2026, I’ve come full circle as a double Fire Horse, and it’s your year to embrace your own fire.
This book gathers sixty lessons from sixty years—simple, distilled truths shaped by experience, loss, growth, and joy.
Inside you’ll find:
simple shifts that make everyday relationships feel lighter, clearer, and more connected

clarity‑creating insights on home, possessions, and what’s worth keeping
moments of stillness that invite clarity, grounding, and curiosity
creative sparks that help you reconnect with your own imagination, purpose, and joy
