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.

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.

Pileated

Pileated Woodpecker .. got to spend a quick moment with one yesterday morning. We startled each other, altho’ he/she was greeting me with a knock, knock, knock inches away from me. We came face to face (he/she was at my face level)

Male on the left – female on the right. I will post a link at the end of this post if you want to know more about this beautiful bird. It is about the size of a crow. (they mate for life)

A single moment is a life time

Be grateful for everything. If you see everything as material to express gratitude, you can encounter a number of opportunities to be grateful for.

My first, one on one with a barred owl. An amazing experience.

Appreciate each person’s good points

Everyone is human and has both good and bad things about them. Let’s strive to look for the good points in others so we can get along.

He swiveled his head to look at me when I spoke to him.. I almost felt he nodded. Talk about a breathtaking moment!

Happy New Year

Happy New year to everyone..

May this year illuminate your journey to divinity and spiritual enlightenment. May you and your loved one enjoy much happiness and good health.

Always work to heighten your “inner sensitivity” Your life will take on greater dimensions when you are able to perceive your surroundings with more sensitivity. Let’s continue to learn and add to our knowledge and experience, and cultivate a fresh sense of beauty. PL2015.29

Life is to enjoy, strive for happiness … love with all your heart, and believe in NOW. Makoto (Sincerity in all we do and say,) is the key.

Evening Grosbeak

Happiness is… looking up and realizing that there is an Evening Grosbeak looking back at you.

Made my day, I just stopped in my tracks and admired … the delight that filled me was instant I waited all last year for a glimpse of one.. and now.. here it was … the moment of sheer pleasure. Bold as brass, it just looked back to acknowledge my admiration… then went back to his breakfast.

Handle things that come your way one by one

Tackle your issues in the order they appear in front of you. You will be able to get things done more efficiently this way, (PL2015.19)

Evening Grosbeak is a passerine bird in the finch family. Adult male Evening Grosbeaks are yellow and black birds with a prominent white patch in the wings. They have dark heads with a bright-yellow stripe over the eye. Females and immatures are mostly gray, with white-and-black wings and a greenish-yellow tinge to the neck and flanks.

Good morning… thank you all for your encouraging words, Quinn and Quincy are getting along very well. They settled in very nicely, he is a gentle “old” soul, watches out for her, and doesn’t let her get away with any of her nonsense. He is a little over 2 years old and she we think is about 10 months old.

Today the 11th we celebrate Ancestors’ Day in the PL community. Through this ceremony we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and ask for their protection and guidance so we can continue to live the PL Way!

If you cannot be with us today at church .. take a moment of silence around 10 a.m. to express your appreciation …give thanks… life is good…

Till soon.

celebrations have already begun in many parts of the world. Lunar new year officially starts Jan. 29 this year. Yr of Snake (wood)

Good relationships begin by greeting each other.

Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighbourhood.

The dragon is stirring.. he’s beginning to wake. Won’t be long now before his roar is heard all across the galaxy… slowly his body will slither with a purpose .. he’ll be heading your way… carrying a cornucopia of wishes from the heavens…. to sprinkle star dust particles of happiness, glad tidings, good health and prosperity over all the land.
