A Time to Feel Your Heart Gently Lit by Touching Upon a Kind Ambition: An Online Dialogue with Kazuko Tanaka

Kazuko Tanaka is active as a guide for finding life's treasures.
As a challenge related to child advocacy,
she is undertaking a 100-person listening challenge.
I recently had the opportunity to participate in this challenge.
I would like to write an article about my impressions.

What is Child Advocacy?

Dialogue with Ms. Tanaka

To describe my online dialogue with Ms. Tanaka in one phrase,
it was a time to feel my heart gently lit by touching upon a kind ambition.
it was.

Having read her note articles, including past posts and her recent trip to Hokkaido, I had many things I wanted to ask her,
and she answered them all carefully.

And, regarding child advocacy,
she shared her thoughts and ambitions with me.

Ms. Tanaka was smiling and spoke in a gentle tone throughout,
and it was such a comfortable time that words naturally spilled out from me as well.

Ms. Tanaka's Ambition

To simply and quietly stand by someone's side.
To act as a speaker or microphone that voices the inner heart of that person.
To exist like a soap bubble, a membrane that gently wraps around and protects that person.
I want to help that person live as themselves, with a smile.
When adults live as themselves with a smile, children naturally become that way too.

That ambition is truly wonderful and resonated deeply within my heart.

Summary

I myself also wish for a world filled with "blessings and prosperity" to spread,
and I am active in helping to contribute to that.
Listening to her story warmed my heart and gave me courage.

Her words, "I want to become a cheerful grandmother," also left an impression on me.
Like the grandfather and grandmother in the background of the Sazae-san manga,
I felt that she would become a woman who spends her days peacefully and accepts others with kindness.

I am thinking with excitement about how to apply the insights I gained from this dialogue
to my treatments, counseling, and seminars.

I am truly grateful for this connection and opportunity I received through note.
Ms. Tanaka, thank you very much.

It seems she only has a few more people to go until she reaches her challenge goal.
I look forward to the possibility of speaking with you again if the opportunity arises.
