Memoir Out 10/15/2019 Available for Pre-Order
It was a long time coming, but my memoir comes out on 10/15/2019. It is available for pre-order via Target, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other online outlets. I will also be featuring it soon via my website.
For now, you can find it here via Amazon, here via Target, and here via Barnes and Noble:
“In this book the reader is offered the unique opportunity to explore not only the mind but also the heart of a Japanese-American diplomat who “dares” to be proud of his dual heritage. In an age where “diversity” is touted as an important value to uphold, reality does not always live up to the struggles and aspirations of men and women whose very DNA is multicultural and multilingual. Ken Reiman’s passionately told and deeply personal story will inspire all those for whom “duality” is an integral part of who they are, not only as citizens but also as human beings. Society can only benefit from heeding his call to celebrate and utilize such rich human experiences for the good of others—and ultimately, for the creation of a better world—together.”

U.S. Caribbean Paradise
Not everyone knows that the U.S. purchased the U.S. Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917 for $25 million. This U.S. Caribbean paradise consists of St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix, Water Island, and more. The United States Virgin Islands has something for everyone. Go visit! A great time to enjoy the summer sun, beaches, snorkeling, and so much fun!

What Does it Mean to Be an American?
Americanism is a matter of the mind and heart; Americanism is not and never was a matter of race and ancestry.

Vocations – What Is Yours?
Each man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. He is like a ship in a river; he runs against obstructions on every side but one, on that side all obstruction is taken away and he sweeps serenely over a deepening channel into an infinite sea…He has no rival. For the more truly he consults his own powers, the more difference will his work exhibit from the work of any other.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Quote of the Day
What do you think the aim of hard work is? Helping yourself get to the summit top and bringing others along the way or climbing over others to reach the top? Here’s my take on the real aim of hard work.

Bloom Where You Are
It’s easy to focus on the past and the future and miss out on living your best life now. Life is a series of moments and then you pass. Make the most of your present to think great thoughts and move mountains.

Silliness
I am constantly reminded by my son what it’s like to be silly and a kid. Do you remember those days? Funny how we forget that when we become adults. We become so serious. Goofy gets more laughs than cool. What do you think? Hope this photo puts a smile to your face and makes you remember what matters most in life – faith, family, and love.

Success
“The summit is believed to be the object of the climb. But its true object—the joy of living—is not in the peak itself, but in the adversities encountered on the way up. There are valleys, cliffs, streams, precipices, and slides, and as he walks these steep paths, the climber may think he cannot go any farther, or even that dying would be better than going on. But then he resumes fighting the difficulties directly in front of him, and when he is finally able to turn and look back at what he has overcome, he finds he has truly experienced the joy of living while on life’s very road.”
– Eiji Yoshikawa

Gratitude
Grateful for another day. 感謝 or kansha means gratitude in Japanese. The first character 感 means “to feel” and the second 謝 means “to thank.” What are you most grateful for today?
