Tuesday

The other day I found a temple ruin in the jungle. I immediately thought, wow, what a fun find. It took me back (memories) to the days (years and years ago) when I wanted more than anything to visit Easter Island to explore the ruins and the huge statues that are all over the island. I wonder today how many people actually know of Easter Island, or its history.

In putting up the ruins I found I needed to contact the creator of this build. What a delightful person, I took the time to let her know how much I enjoy her creations, her reaction made my day. It is so easy to take our encounters with others for granted, say what we have to say and move on. I am constantly being reminded how fortunate I am to have discovered a world where I get to interact with people from all over the world and share a smile ( happy moment)

The ruins have an area where people gathered, there is a place to sit where I could overlook the skies around me and the worlds below. In life, I have to live with both feet planted firmly on the ground, landscapes need taming, home needs to be kept in repair, and its important to balance life’s demands on personal needs. *** never give up on your dreams/creativity.***

Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes.

Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” But, that’s just the time to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.

I was also reminded yesterday on how special friends how… I got to catch up with a friend I have not seen in awhile, she reads this blog on a regular basis. Guess what! she and hubby go to car swap meets on a regular basis, and yes there are still swap meets where people get together to show off their hobby cars…exchange, trade etc. parts… thanks for the information and the great big smile you brought into my day.

(refer back to past a few days back)

These little animesh puddle buddies are soooo cute.. I couldn’t resist.

BOM DIA!

Spread your love beyond your borders, out to the entire world

Our world is overflowing with problems. Let’s pray not only for those around us, but for the happiness and peace of the entire world.

PL2014.1

My Mother would have had a birthday today. Thinking of her determination, dedication and purpose.. she had an inner strength, she lived her life “her way” and always applied herself to helping others.

There are days when I feel like this wood sculpture. I’m visible, I’m physically present, but…………………………… my cracks need oiling.

You gain strength through your hardships

Whatever you learn easily or master effortlessly tends to be forgotten. The lessons you gain through repeated mistakes are what gives you genuine strength.

PL2014.29

Have a great day everyone.

Let’s interact proactively with an ever-changing society.

Society is always rapidly changing with the times. Keep your eyes and mind in tune with these changes and learn to deal with them proactively

spring

Spring flowers appearing bringing a burst of colour to otherwise gray skies. The “boys” in the woodlands, showing off for me… I wanted to show you the beautiful heart the male has on his head. It really shows up during mating season. They had their breakfast and were leaving… I caught them going over the fence and called out…” stop.. want to grab a picture.”. the darlings obliged by staying still long enough for me to grab the picture. Aren’t they handsome!

Forest maintenance .. the brush gets too high, scrub trees grow, interfere with hydro lines… this is the time of year that crews come along and clear..

I asked why ….this time of year, …reply.. so that the brush is cleared away before birds come along and build nests. It does open up the area along the side of the road…. for sure it changes the whole look… I will be interested in seeing how it will fill in once the foliage begins to grow.

Meanwhile, I get to gather odds and ends of wood left behind by the crew.. not sure why some wood is taken and some is left behind. Finding odd pieces, I can let them dry, then sculpt them. Just have to find where my carving knives are, they were put a way in a safe place… meaning.. I put them away and can’t find them.

If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously, you will be able to find a way to break through. PL2014.26

Have a great day everyone!

Till soon.

expression

Express yourself freely within the rules.

We are able to experience the joy of being creative because we have the framework of laws, morals and rules to follow. Live freely and vivaciously within these rules.

como voi?

Now is always the start of something new

Leave the past in the past. What is important is “what you are going to do now.” Using the present as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress.

Dentelle

Meet Dentelle, first three pictures from left to right, the end picture is BeeJu, both of these gals are being groomed for a project I’m wanting to expand on. Dentelle was brave enough to try the new Cardboard Avatar that started as an April Fool’s idea for a Designer in SL (Salt & Pepper).. who was joined by other designers, and we now have a growing number of “people” in SL who have adapted the idea.. It has taken on a life of its own.

There is now a group for all of us who have fallen in love with this idea, and these are some of the items in the hunt that popped up. I have the LM for you here if you are in SL http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Astralia%20DEAD%20DOLL/161/118/1177

I use the avatars in my projects for the church as well as my other blogs. The girls are great to work with, always on time, and open to most of my ideas. Salary wise, it’s a breeze, they like being kept in smart clothes (to their taste of course) latest hairstyles and a place to hang.

Someone asked me the other day how old I was.. I was at the cash having a friendly chat about the mushrooms I had bought… on sale the huge big cafe mushrooms… I told the gal I ate them like a radish or orange, just straight out of the package.. no .. no condiments, no sauce, and yes raw.. That had the whole line at this cash smiling and wondering why raw.. I jokingly said, that is what keeps me young.. (of course I’m not “young”)

Then began the… “Oh” “ahs” they were all guessing of course at my age, since looking at me in my “outdoor” gear as my friends laughingly call my “out door” clothes. can really only leave people “wondering”… I avoided the how old are you question, with “in life, my goal is to be happy, and live each day doing my best to keep myself positive and spending time smiling and sharing “happy”.

Today’s PL quote – If you are going to do it, do it joyfully

If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

I was told a lot of people went back and bought cafe mushrooms.

If you are in SL please pass this link around, this is a really fun new project. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Astralia%20DEAD%20DOLL/161/118/1177

celebrations

Pictures taken in Crete, where they are celebrating Xronia Polla (“many years” heard in Greece around Christmas, New Year’s at Easter, etc)

Value your intuition

When you suddenly have an “a-ha” moment, or when a thought pops into your mind, it is God/Universe sending you a message. As soon as you notice something, you should act upon it right away.

We are all celebrating the week-end in our own way – whatever you are up to, enjoy being YOU. Because, YOU are unique!

today

It is all about the look, she would look at you with such a look of total amazement that you really thought she would stay put and not go into the water. This was a dog that the breeder gave up on and unwillingly let me have her because she was a dog who simply had a mind of her own. During shows, she would suddenly decide she had enough and would calmy sit and refuse to move .. or .. she would walk off the show ring floor back to her crate.

She became my soulmate, my best friend, I bonded with this dog like there was no tomorrow. I still mourn her loss to this day.. but her spirit, her devotion, and unfaltering caring will never leave me. She taught me so many “life” lessons.

I spent a good part of my morning yesterday with whippets A totally different breed, they were in their home, I was a guest. Since acquiring Quincy last year, I have learned to live with a feline(s) in my life. Not the same at all. Now of course he has a “sister” Quinn. Interacting with a cat .. is not.. like living with a dog, or vice versa.

In life, we are constantly on a journey of discovery… what I have learned and continue to experience, is…

If we are content with the status quo, our progress will stop. In PL, we suggest, to always seek for ways to improve, to continue to move forward, one step at a time.

Many fellow bloggers always include their “furry” family/friends in their blogs.. Love it!!!

Enjoy your Saturday everyone.

Everything in life happens for a reason.

There need not be reason or rhyme, it simply IS.

I held a two week old puppy in my arms yesterday… what a sweet bundle of love.
