It’s not every day that a publisher approaches me with the opportunity to do something like this, so after much waffling, fretting, nail-biting and wrestling with “fear of judgment”, I’ve bitten the bullet, sat down at my laptop and decided to say hello.

I’m Cassie.  

I was born and raised in the heart America, but now I live in a suburb of one of the most densely populated places in East Asia (Tokyo, Japan).  I have a daughter, a dog, and a husband.  I’m very confused about my “occupation” these days, so I’ll simply label myself a “maker”.   

I have so many things I want to say, a whole stack of soap boxes I want to stand upon and shout from, and even more odd little anecdotes to relate and experiences to share. 

Most importantly, I’d like to have a conversation.  So, stop here, and scroll down a bit….   little further…

Yep….

Just there, That box that says “Leave A Reply”…

Use that box!

In my adopted tongue, we say something at this point that makes absolutely no sense unless you are Japanese.  

どうぞ宜しくお願いします

In short…  “Let’s be friends”.
