Nov 9…

Express yourself clearly so others can understand you. When you can’t communicate clearly it can lead to problems. always express yourself carefully to avoid any misunderstandings.

The magic of waking to another day, is realizing that there are so many possibilities, and each one will be a new beginning. I heard the other day that someone had made up a “mood board” they had collected and gathered materials to make up a poster with a collage of inspirations and aspirations. Sounds like a fun project, I am currently in a declutter “mode”, must ask if this is something they will put up somewhere or if it is like a journaling page. It is always fun and interesting to learn how others cope with mindfulness

a walk with myself

Today I forced myself to return to Pine Grove Trail .. it has been cleared .. above is what it looked like after the storm.. below is what I explored today.

At first I confess I was filled with a sadness, my feet were reluctant, and my whole body tensed as I made my way through the gate to walk along the once familiar trail Then I began to notice the new growth that was bravely dealing with the coming of winter. The young shoots were bravely waving their fall colours.

I was reminded that in nature, there is always tomorrow, and another day. Out of the broken, devastated remains of what was, there was new growth, Strong young shoots reaching up into the clear blue sky, their leaves a riot of colour showing their pride at having attained a place in the world.

The message was loud and clear, never let a set back, deter you from your goals or purpose in life. It may not be the easiest path, but it is your path, and you are here, live it… experience all of what life sends your way… if you come face to face with it, it is because the Universe knows you can cope/deal with it.

When you let go of what was… you are blessed with new opportunities .. you face new potential … you will make new memories … and you yourself, will grow, you open the door to new possibilities.

What began as a simple walk, turned into a moment of discovery, I feel so blessed, and that you are here to share it with me, makes it a pure delight.

Enjoy the moments of quiet reflection when they come along … Life is a continuation of “now” … these moments will become history, and new vistas will present themselves.

time is now

What is the pull the energy/force that gets me up and out of bed in the wee hours so I can witness the early morning mist over the bog… What guides my need to pull out the camera and shoot into the fog.

The landscape captivates and captures my imagination. I know that the dragons will rise up from the mist and soar up into the unknown to mate and play … Their positive energy and passion is a force that transcends eternity for it is not measured in time or boundaries, it simply IS…The TAO is not something one can explain, it is like the air we breathe, we don’t think of breathing, we just do…

When was the last time you stopped to “listen to your breathing”….to appreciate the regular pit pat of your heart, to take a deep breath in, hold it, enjoy with gratitude before expelling and letting it go,

Your smile is what’s needed. A smile invites happiness and cheer and is essential to energize others as well as yourself.

28th. habits

my morning face … my thinking,,. my actions…. my reaction to the moment of awareness I’m having..

Oh dear… such contrast … time to reign in the busy mind and pull myself together…. CHANGE is in the air, and I realize that I have fallen into old habits. I don’t know when, how, or why this happened, well.. yes I do.. I fell back into what was comfortable to do, ie. eat all kinds of comfort foods not because I especially wanted them but because I was lazy. they were convenient and fast. I spend more time on the doing things I like (which is good) but not if I am neglecting something else that needs doing.

Reminds me of a saying I saw in a book the other day, “above all … be the heroine of your life, not the victim” (Nora Ephron)

Here is another good one… “owning our story can be hard, but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it” Brene Brown.

PL Precept #19 Begin once you perceive

It is not fun to be stuck in one place. Instead of being captured by what is in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons.

shut the door

What is it when the mind just won’t stop.. so many thoughts, so much information, so many “things” needing attention, There comes a time when the constant traffic of ideas, thoughts, conversations, tasks, to do lists, and just plain chatter … gets to be too much. Self preservation, turn off. Slow down. Walk away, take a deep breath, shut the door!

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

PL Precept # 17 Grasp what is most essential

PL Precept # 5 One’s Self, is lost by being emotional.

Chill. Easy to say, but hard to do. Sometimes we need to remember we should close one door before opening another. Or find an entry that is open and inviting, leading to endless possibilities.

How much can we hide behind a closed door? or…. in closing a door, we keep out negative energy, or do we, we can never escape the realities of our own thoughts.

Make today a memorable day. Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

Sunday 23rd

In going through a file, I found this stashed in a folder all by its lonesome. You know my fascination with wild turkeys these days.. this lone bird caught my eye. Wondering what he/she is doing? When I saw today’s lesson (PL Calendar) I thought it perfect for my visual today. Anyone out there recognize this bird?

When you get stuck take a step back….. When you are able to see things objectively, your viewpoint will change and you will receive new wisdom.

Silent Sunday

frost – musing

In silence I find myself transcending the NOW of the moment

To the vibrant energy of the forest trail

I see before me the portrait of the life on each leaf – in the textures of the tree bark

I am in awe at the way the frost paints a delicate lace on the landscape that surrounds me

Each picture perfect moment is etched in my consciousness

THIS is LOVE of the rarest kind – it removes the blindfold from my eyes

I am seeing the world again … not just with my eyes

but from the heart and soul of my BEing.

Every day is a gift from God/Universe

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity

^-Q-^10/20/22

Choices – we all have them, we encounter them every day – some we make without really thinking about them, others we give a lot of thought to. With the change of seasons, comes an opportunity to listen closely to our inner voice, and let the past drop, like the soon to be falling leaves. Once lived, it is time to let go. Learn from what was, appreciate now and move forward. Love is a powerful emotion, live with it wisely,

In life there is Yin/Yang, we cannot have one without the other. (positive/negative)
