Cultivando alegria no curso de inglês. (English follows)
No dia 05 de julho, finalizei o meu curso de inglês conforme condição da faculdade para iniciar meu curso em setembro (mais detalhes, ler vivência “Minha Jornada no Canadá”). Foram 9 semanas, estudando das 9hs às 16:30 diariamente (exceto fins de semana) o que me deixava bem ocupado.
No início, eu acreditava que seria fácil, pois as pessoas consideravam meu nível de inglês muito bom. No entanto, acabei melhorando muito meu inglês. Percebi que cometia muitos erros e, consequentemente, me esforcei para aprender ao máximo. Durante o curso, fui recebendo prece de Oyashikiri sempre que possível.
Houve momentos que senti pressão e tive algumas preocupações (por exemplo, busca por apartamento para alugar), e isto começou a afetar meu desempenho uma vez que estava mais preocupado com resultado do que aprender. Em resumo, eu estava perdendo a alegria de realizar o curso de inglês. Como peelista, eu notei que era o momento certo para buscar os ensinamentos da PL e praticar o que aprendi ao longo dos anos: ter gratidão pela oportunidade e orar para cultivar entusiasmo e criatividade.
Com essa prática, tudo mudou e passei a realmente sentir alegria no curso, até mesmo meus colegas da turma tinha prazer de estudar comigo. Sem dúvidas, foi uma experiência gratificante, pois pude conhecer pessoas de diferentes países e fazer grandes amigos.
No último dia do curso, estes novos amigos demonstraram muito carinho que até fiquei sem palavras. Ficamos muito próximos por compartilharmos os mesmos desafios e mesmos objetivos, e assim um apoiava o outro.
Eu realmente agradeço à Deus e ao Oshieoyá-Sama. Os ensinamentos da PL são um tesouro que faz total diferença na vida de uma pessoa, como esta vivência.
Agradeço a todos pelo tempo e atenção em ler esta vivência. Que Deus abençoes a todos com alegria e paz.
Bringing joy to everyday classes.
On July 5th, I finished my English course as a condition to start the Algonquin College (please, more details about it, see the previous testimony “My journey to Canada”). I had studied for 9 weeks from 9 am to 4:30 pm every day (except for weekends) and that kept me very busy.
In the beginning, I thought I would handle it easily, once people considered my level of English as very good. Actually, it turned out that I have gotten lots of improvement. I realized that I still had many mistakes and, as a result, I did my best to study and learn as much as I could. During the course, I had been receiving Oyashikiri prayer whenever was possible.
There were times that I felt pressure and some concerns appeared (e.g looking for a place to rent), and that began to affect negatively on my performance since I was worried about only the results instead of the learning process. In summary, I was losing the joy and excitement to go to school. As a PL member, I noticed that it was the right moment put in prqactice PL teachings that I’ve learned over the years: everyday express appreciation for the opportunity and pray to bring joy and be creative.
Doing that was a game-changer because I really enjoyed my time at the language school and even my classmates were so pleased to have me there. Definitely, it was a great experience because I have met many people from other countries and I have made valuable friends.
On my graduation day, these new friends showed so much care for me that I became speechless. In the end, we have created a bond between us because some of them shared the same challenges and the same goals as mine, so we could support each other and we can now help each other.
I do have appreciation for God and Oshieoya Sama. The PL teachings are a treasure that can make a huge difference in one’s life like the testimony above.
Thank you for taking this moment to read this. May God bless us all with joy and peace.
Thank you for sharing Yoshi, (Yoshizumi Terada) have a good day everyone… Enjoy a great start to a brand new week!

days like today, when the heat blankets the body and all else around you. Moving take concentrated effort. Blah. Only on such days, do I wish for a small section of water to sit submerged in a shallow area where there is a bit of a shade. and the water is lapping gently all around me, cooling and refreshing.
of course #1 choice, is to stay inside, where I have air climate control. No need to think about getting out of the water, getting dry, and finding my way back to the car. This too shall pass.
Happy week-end everyone. I trust wherever you are in, you are enjoying a wonderful memory making day.

Mixed media…. then.. (found in a thrift shop) bigger white canvas, and the small one is a demo I did to show the use of acrylics, inks, stamps and colours available today. The contrast appealed to me yesterday. My intention is to recycle the white canvas. Stay tuned.
PL Principle #3 will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things
I have a huge appreciation for the work that went into doing the big white canvas, it was actually one of 3 pieces. the middle piece was hexagon and bigger and wider. Must have made a wonderful wall piece.
PL Precept # 1 All things progress and develop.
Hit your stride, get out there and enjoy the day. Love is everywhere, smile and share.

PL calendar day 10
When you are not having fun, could it be because you re being lazy? Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.
If sadness and lack of hope knock I your heart – try to do something positive for someone else.
Example isn’t another way to teach it is the only way to teach – Albert Einstein

Good morning everyone! How lovely to see so many smiling faces yesterday at service. Our new Hokyoshi from Brazil, Yoshizumi Terada was our master of ceremonies, when it came time to sing, we all got to enjoy Com Quem Contar with dance movements. It was a DELIGHT. Thank you Yoshi. Another Brazilian member Kaiser Lette Bueno added his voice to the song. “Andei, Andei E encontrei Oshieoya Sama, Oshieoya Sama.
Com Quem Contar has to be the most joyful song, I love it. In English the title is Who to Trust.
