I dream, I walk, I talk
snap, crackle, pop
the mind is active taking off in all directions
time, to astral travel and make corrections
pop, crackle snap,
oh dear, earth to outer space
time to chat
I need a face to face
Q
PL Precept # 2 To live is o Express One’s Self

This particular cancer is hard to treat, it is very aggressive Think Positive
Good evening everyone, the above are words that we have been hearing for the last many months. #5 is what we were told today. I picked up the PL Calendar for the 29th.
Be Cheerful and Easygoing
Everything has a way of turning out alright in the end. Relax and always try to Think Positively.
How we deal with challenges that come our way, determines a lot, about how we enjoy our days, and if we are able to Think Positively.
My husband and I both would have liked the scenes we are living to be somewhat different, however, they are not. They are what they are. We do our best to encourage others around us, help them find their way in the “stories” that they are living. We also make time for “us” … and our personal “selves”
The messenger doesn’t always bring “good news”, but every one is doing their best, and that is really all one can ask. When we get over whelmed, we accept that moment, and rest. No regrets or misgivings. Tomorrow is another day. when it arrives, we will deal with it, one step at a time.
Whatever the outcome, knowing we have done all we can do. When the time comes for the day to come to an end. We will know we did our best. Meanwhile, we enjoy each other, and know we’ve come a long way, each being whole, when sharing with the other.
This is VERY POSITIVE.

We are so grateful that you are part of our lives. You are appreciated, each and every one of YOU.
PL Calendar #23 Appreciate Our Differences
Appreciate the colourful personalities of the people around you and enjoy their uniqueness to the fullest
Life’s journey is never a super highway, it is full of unexpected stops, and detours along the way. Remember it is not the destination, but the journey itself that is rewarding. When we are faced with the unexpected, stop and appreciate the diversion, it is happening for a reason. The details might not be clear to you at the time, but if we believe, and have faith, God/Universe will see us through. Love is unconditional. Love sometimes is having to be different. Let Go… Let God.

Yesterday was the 21st, in PL, that is the day we do a special service of “Thanksgiving” and expressing our appreciation for the blessings we have received.
Yesterday my husband was taken to the hospital, I had called 911, and the situation warranted he go into hospital, and he was admitted. The events started at least 24/48 hours prior to the 911 call. Come last night I was tired, exhausted, and what I call blotto, I didn’t have the energy to really eat, but knew I had to eat.
In PL, we have a Precept, #7 Everything exists in Relativity, and Precept #11 Always be with God. I believe with all my “Being” that “God” is always with me. When I prayed the night before on what to do, I was given a sign loud and clear, something happened that everything in me knew, I had to call 911.
When I sat depleted at the end of the day, too drained to do much else but sit and let my mind sort itself out… friends came through for me, my sister gave me a steadying voice and the church sent over Japanese curry and rice (one of my favourites) this is a meal we all share after service on the 21st. Another friend had made homemade baked beans. The angel that brought the over is a dear and long time friend, who just sat with me and shared the quiet moments with me. I fell asleep with the joyful love of friendship lulling me into a fitful sleep.
This morning my husband texted me.. his message warming my heart and a new day begins. In PL we are taught to never lose faith, believe and live every moment of your life. If there is pain, sadness, it is there because you have known true happiness, and you are feeling the other side of life.. but it reality it is all ONE.
There is no right with out left. No yin, without yang. When we live each day, with truth in our hearts.. there are no regrets… memories and lessons yes.. but no regrets.
Time to start another day. All the best to you, and to all of my wonderful and thoughtful friends, near and far. I love you … each and every one of you.
Be creative, today is a fresh canvas.

O estado de alerta entusiasma Calendario PL #15
Being attentive makes life more enjoyable
Seja algo trivial ou grandioso, viva dando atencao a todos os detalhes. Isso gera bem-estar.
Live life paying careful attention to every detail, be it big or small. By doing so, you will be able to experience the subtle joy of things.
Some dreams never get completed
others fade into distant memories
when we live in the now
every moment is a dream come true
Oyashikiri
Appreciate all of what life offers. When we find beauty in all we encounter, we will be rewarded.
“PL calendar day 14 Be a Person who invites Happiness
Live your life with good timing and respond quickly to whatever appears in front of you. By doing so, things will keep getting better and better.”
Change is a constant in life. Learn to accept changes in your life, when we flow with the Universe, life is easier, and our state of mind, more balanced.

PL calendar day 13
There will always be a way
As long as you re serious, there is no reason for you to give up. Move forward one step at a time and things will always turn out for the best.

This sculpture gave me such a sense of “fun and freedom” when I saw it. I have had it in my picture library for some time, and do not recall where I got it. If anyone is aware of the artist, please let me know.
What a difference a day makes.
I used to suggest to clients that keeping a journal, even if it was sentence, or a word to express how they/you felt at that moment, or about the day. Not everyone likes to write, or wants more words.
Since in PL, (Perfect Liberty) we say, “Life is art” (Precept #1) I began to suggest if not a word, a sketch, or picture, something doodled. It doesn’t really matter, no one will see or read what is written, unless you share. It is for YOU from YOU.
At the time, it seems insignificant, but that simple “action” leads to appreciation and gratitude. As the days progress (nights) something beautiful starts to happen, you see what “was” in such a different light. No two days are the same. Never. Moments cannot be relived.
Even if I end up adding only one bit of shading or colour tonight, this little card will have another dimension. AND yes, even if I don’t get to do anything with the card, today, tomorrow or the day after, I will SEE the card differently with each passing day.
A”story” of my own making….. Happy sunshine, and many creative opportunities be afforded you today. If it is evening when you read this, may you be blessed with a contentment of peace in your sleep.

note> it is amazing how we have time to try to unravel the world and things that are totally out of our control, yet we can’t make time, for our”SELVES” we resist.
Day 7
Don’t Strain, Don’t Rush, and Don’t be Greedy
When you are doing something, my may rush things to get good results quickly. Instead relax and enjoy the process (PL, Perfect Liberty)
Remember this from yesterday. I loved the simplicity of it, I wanted to do it. To make it easier on myself, I asked the minister’s wife if she could please show me how to do it. Being a visual person, I do better when I see something done (when it is totally foreign to me and origami is) Her patience at folding the paper, and refolding to ensure that I was seeing where I had to turn the paper, how to fold a crease etc. was calming.
I didn’t know that I was so hesitant to do it wrong, that I wouldn’t even try until I saw her do it. The she patiently led me through the steps, one by one.
Me, “miss get it done” was learning something new, I doubt it is something I will ever excel in, but I did it. I have an artistic bent as you all know. The mediums I do best in, are media that work WITH me, for example, my “style” of work, and my need to watch the process develop (I am getting better) finds me working with acrylic and water paints. Oils and I have not clicked over the years. Yet I do work with mediums that require over night drying…I’ve never taken to oils.
This lesson has a lot to “say” to me. I know that I will do my best to apply myself to practicing the wisdom in this lesson.
I will do my best.. that is all any of us can do.
Have a good day everyone.. LOVE and Blessings.

When we begin, there is only one line, by the time we have done, we are looking at what these days is called a Zentangle.
I take my time, and use no end in mind, nor do I try to contemplate design, or a theme. It is relaxation for me, so I simply allow myself to doodle.
Last night I began to colour in the various spaces. Leaning towards greens, I don’t try for perfection, and I don’t really try to stay within the lines. I will be interested in seeing IF I finish this “expression”, or will I let it lie on my desk, forgotten, waiting for me to “catch” the “mood” again. If and when it is finished, will it look anything like it started out. That is the beauty of these doodles. They allow, the mind to wander, and the hands to stray.
Mid week already. Hope you have all had a good start to the week, and that today, will be a “stunner” I challenged myself to do something creative every day. Sunday I tried my hand at Origami
Hey, they aren’t perfect, but trying to learn something new and doing something creative every day, for me is relaxing, and by jim-minie I can do with the R & R
Blessings everyone! Let your light shine through in all you do!
