Tuesday

Sometimes we have to stop moving around, going out, taking on another project and simply chill

Do you really need to be on your cell as often as you are.

When was the last time you read a book?

In PL, everyday is a new day, a new beginning. PL Precept # 1 Life is Art.

Start by thinking “this is interesting!”

Even when you’re dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come out of it.

PL2019.5

Some food for thought! Have a good one everyone! Till soon.

Follow your heart while also thinking about the happiness of others. Always be true to ourself in your words and actions. Strive to make others happy with a sincere heart.

Be kind to one another! smile and share PL Sunshine and Joy.

vendredi

The dragon roars – and all around the town his meaning is clear – stop the infernal negativity – start looking around and find the joy and sunshine. Stop chasing tomorrow or dwelling on what was, this is NOW – open your eyes to what IS –

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

PL Precept # 19 Begin once you perceive.

Last night the TBX (Trow Boa Experience) played a debut performance of a full set of originals (Cuban vibe) from the extensive list of original music by musician and performer, Trow Boa. The Trow Boa personna emerged some 18 plus year ago in the online game, Second Life. The man himself Trow Boa is a long time musician in every day life, who has had 35 + years in the world of music. He plays professionally in and around his home State, and has appeared Nationally and Internationally .. not to mention the many students he has taught who have gone on to excel in their own right in the music industry.

The man has dedicated his passion for the saxophone into a way of expression that delights and pleases his audiences. He plays as regularly in SL as his time allows. It has been fun to watch his progress, and how he uses his love for the music he plays to expand his personal inventory of original music. He uses his gift to not only help others, but to entertain and share the music with audiences that appreciate not only live but original instrumentals. TBX is becoming an entity on its own. Audience come for the experience! And he, Trow Boa delivers!!

In today’s world of AI and computer generated this and that… there are so many ways to express one’s self.. however music is something that can transcend language and cultural differences. The fact that he started from the basics and has tirelessly continued to expand and hone his music skills speaks volumes for his dedication and love of his craft. He not only enjoys what he does his pleasure in sharing his music is catching, Audiences are drawn to the ambience he weaves with his unique style and presentation….

PL PRECEPT # 2 TO LIVE IS TO E XPRESS ONE’S SELF

Oxtail broth

How many of you have been so disappointed when buying store bought bone broth? I have been trying off and on now for a long time to satisfy my craving for a good ready made broth. What you see above is my breakfast … a bowl of steaming freshly made (overnight) oxtail soup.

Oxtails fresh from the butcher at the Asian supermarket near me

Fresh okra grown locally

fresh mushroom (big cafe ones)

slices of sweet onion/Spanish onion

cream corn (small can)(I prefer the known brands -thick creamy)

garden fresh baby potatoes (today it was red /yellow ) quartered

diced tomato, green pepper, red pepper *(Pizza topping from the fresh veggie shop near by)

seasoned with pink salt, minced and diced garlic and ginger.

The oxtail is such a rich meat, so delicious and tender, I did not add a lot of other spices I wanted the flavour of the beef.

The aroma as it simmered overnight was ..”heavenly” The taste this morning is “divine”


Don’t rush or allow yourself to get flustered

When you rush, it limits your ability to pay attention to detail, and often leads to careless mistakes. With a prayerful mind, take a deep breath and act calmly.

PL2016.22


Trust in the rhythms of life.

soup was made using my wok

  • why prepared pizza topping – at FarmBoy (fresh produce store) they prepare this every day for customers… and for a single person on my own, buying a whole lot of veggies means I have a lot of waste… this way the produce is freshly made every day and I don’t have an excess of veggies going to waste in my fridge.

hello there

HI. you got something for me today? These cutie pies have been visiting at P23, a friend who walks there daily got this picture of one of the little ones. I miss being out for my outings every day.. but with the moves, selling/renting etc. there has been no time.

Another journey begins.

Agora estou, percebendo a que e viver, vivo sempre a sorrir amo a vida e a voce……. (PL song book)

Now I know, realizing what life is for, I always live with a smile, life is no longer a trial (English)

Andei, andei, I sought, I sought, at last I found, e contrei…

PL Precept 21 – Live the PL Way!

Thanks Dan!

Thursday

Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once you have made up your mind, move forward without hesitation.

PL2012.20

This message is one that needs repeating. How often do we rush into something, and find that ..maybe, just maybe…. we should have, could have waited.

Oyashikiri

Was a month yesterday, I have been living in an apartment, what a change, and what a blessing. I learned how valuable friends are, and how life without them would be very empty. Friends are precious gifts.

Till soon

Wednesday

A gentle reminder, to slow down and take it easy in this oppressive heat we’ve been having this summer.

fyi. for those of you who have followed my journey with neuropathy, I have been trying magnesium cream.. applying it topically, It didn’t happen overnight, but I have noticed… I sleep a much sounder and a longer sleep, and AND I have less leg discomfort/cramping etc.

Wednesday

View your difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress

You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.

PL2014.9

Till soon everyone, enjoy your day, be safe
