Barred owl

It was very humbling yesterday to realize that the owl was comfortable with my presence at the base of his tree. The chickadees were singing and going back and forth between us. It was really unreal, I was totally mesmerized by it all. He watched me walk away to give the jays their peanuts… the doves, and woodpeckers were happy to get on with breakfast…. He just watched us and seemed content to be part of the morning activities. It ended when a couple of birdwatchers drove up and we got into human conversation. He spread his wings and took off. He was magnificent.

This was was my third encounter with him. Every meeting has been one that seems contrived. Fanciful thinking on my part, maybe… but the encounters are treasured! When he spread his wings he was so majestic.

Your smile energizes the people around you.

A smile has the ability to put others at ease and give them energy. Strive to be the first to offer a smile each day to those around you

honesty

If you are cheerful, it will make everyone around you cheerful. Cheerful and happy people attract others. Always smile and have a pleasant attitude,.

In the beginning love holds so much promise. It takes work and dedication for a relationship to flourish. The everyday things you do will show when it really counts. It doesn’t help to over think situations … be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.

Be true to yourself. but be aware of how others feel, be open to listening to another’s thoughts…. be willing to discuss, and consider all options.

Wednesday

You may think you are standing still. However, the world will continue to live and grow around you. And whether you realize it or not, your body will age with each passing day.

Let yourself blooml

Concentrate on what is important, today.

If you find yourself overwhelmed… stop.. take a moment, close your eyes. take a deep breath, hold it… allow your mouth to relax into that beautiful smile you have. Now slowly open your eyes and begin again… You can do it!

tudo bem?

Always have presence of mind

If you overexert yourself, you will be easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto with presence of mind.

A person who is at peace with being alone, is rooted in their own truth. Solitude is a training ground… a sacred space…. When we learn to be happy alone, we find it is an opportunity to learn to “let go”.

As an artist, creative expression is something necessary in my life, in the virtual world of SL (Second Life).. I am constantly inspired by the wealth of creativity I find inworld. Whether in the designers of clothes/hair/makeup/jewelry, the creators of the landscapes and visual “worlds” that are built for members to visit and explore. The musicians, writers and builders, and and and…

Discover the joy of TRANSFORMING YOURSELF

When you realize how much you have changed for the better, it fills you with true happiness. Strive each day to improve yourself.

music

.. when body, & mind move in time to music … a spell is cast.. there is nothing but the freedom of expression and the music ..you are transported into space without boundaries.

The turning point is now.

Life is a sequence of moments called now, You have the key to turn yourself around.

Instrumentals enable you to create a moment that is uniquely YOURS

Bom Dia

It is cold and the snow is deep. Hard to sleep when the world around you is in a deep freeze. The finding of a peanut makes the day in a big way.

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective. The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.

Many of you know that I work and create in a virtual world called Second Life. Applying myself to learning how to work with the new software that is used by creators is something that both frustrates me and leaves me feeling a sense of accomplishment when I can achieve something as simple as learning how to build a male shape and what is involved .. the bodies and the huds are so different from that of the female avatars.

Benz one of my male avatars that I’ve used in my digital photography was due for a serious update. One of the “wow” factors was when dressing him, the creators of this avatar line, have it so that when I change his clothes, if I have had to alpha out parts of his body so the clothes (from another designer) fit properly.. when I undress him, his body magically reappears, This does not happen with the technology used by the creator of the female body I use. This was a fun surprise for me… all in all the hours spent learning a new skill is rewarding.

He went from looking like this… last year… to the picture on the right. this is a work in progress.. but I sure am chuffed. Look for Benz to make appearances in the near future. Who is that with Benz, that is Q, she is the original avatar from when I first began in SL in 2007… she has undergone many transformation… She has firmly told me.. she is retired.

Think “now is the time” Instead of “it’s no use now” Don’t give up by thinking it’s too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.
