Thank you, Haru-san!! My story written with a 'just go for it' spirit

Wow! A truly, truly unbelievable moment has arrived!

In the 26th Harumaga Campaign 'Your Story 2026', the article I wrote received the Kirari Award!​

My heart is pounding with joy, and I shouted 'I did it!' in my heart all by myself.

Out of so many wonderful entries, to have my story shine and be chosen feels like a dream.

Haru-san, truly, truly, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!​

Thank you so much.

The feelings behind my entry and overflowing gratitude

When I applied for this campaign, my heart was full of excitement and a little bit of nervousness.

Actually, this article was more candid about my own feelings than ever before.

Even so, since it was the final day of the submission deadline, I just thought 'just go for it' and poured my words out onto note.
​
It covers small daily realizations and my decision to quit my 38-year career as a salaryman to become independent and start my own business as a StrengthsFinder coach.

Being able to share that journey and my true self with everyone who read it is my greatest treasure.

I was also moved by the truly amazing articles from all the other participants.

Congratulations to everyone!

I feel like our hearts connected through this campaign, and I am filled with happiness💖

​Just looking at the list of entries, I could feel everyone's passion, and it gave me energy too.

Of course, the winners are amazing, but Haru-san, who planned such a successful campaign with a total of 36 articles and 24 participants including myself, is just wonderful.​

Exciting resolutions for the future

With this Kirari Award in my heart, I want to continue expressing my authentic self even more fully from here on out!

I will power up my coaching using StrengthsFinder, my daily posts on note and X, and more, to accelerate helping female solo entrepreneurs in their 30s to 50s shine by being 'themselves'.
​
To my followers, readers, family, and best friends who supported me: this is all thanks to you.

Thank you so much!

Let's continue to enjoy this journey of growth together~🌈✨
