I recently did special prayers for someone in my life. I knew how important it was for him to connect with a family member. Due to circumstances, this was an impossibility. The thought had been in my heart, and on my mind for some time, but I had not action-ed my thought.
Sunday after service, I asked to do special prayers with the Sr. Minister. I prayed with faith in my heart, and let it go.
Today in speaking with my friend, I heard the joy in his voice, the opportunity to speak with his loved one had taken place. I was moved to tears. The emotion of the experience was so great.
In my lifetime, I have seen and felt many beautiful happenings. This particular blessing has reaffirmed for me the power of prayer. I have so much gratitude in my heart this evening.
In PL, we can receive personal consultations, or prayers tailored to our individual characters and situation. In this instances I prayed for my friend and his happiness.. In his happiness, I found contentment.
I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things. #4

I am often asked, if I believe in the power of prayer…. YES, I do.
Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby some have entertained angels unawares
Hebrews 13:1-2
Offer your services instead of expecting from others. Take the initiative to do what you can to help others. Understand their needs and act swiftly.

Sharing ….. animals and humans mate …. there is animal lust and human cravings….. but when a heart beats as one, and two minds unite… the state of love… transcends all mortal boundaries
When you think “I’ve got it” think again. It is so easy to misinterpret the situation and jump to conclusions. always have a humble attitude and double check to make sure.

found my copy of this book in the children;s section of a Value Village -in the States the shops go by a different name. Published in 2001
Good morning everyone, yesterday was a very busy day, thought I’d share a bit of it with you. I’ll also be posting this article in the Virtual News 8 blog. Lessons we learn along the way are many, yesterday, I enjoyed sharing time with friends in the virtual world of Second Life. It was a reminder of how being with friends and sharing pastimes, and interest, listening to good music and just “chilling” can make for an awesome visit.
My good friend and “sister” in SL is Yume Yoshikawa, she is a FT DJ in SL and has been for absolutely years. We go back to 2007. Where I have been mostly a builder, doing builds, designs and selling my line of clothes, she was and is always working her talents as a music buff who shares her gift of music spinning in the best clubs in SL.
The first picture on top was taking at a Japanese fair, Japonica, where one could enjoy seeing the many cultural displays and merchandise
SL allows the artist in us to play, We can be as creative as we want, what we don’t know, we can learn, there are mentors who will take the time to teach new comers how to live, work and play in this virtual environment. Then there is the entertainment side.. you will find live music performers, dancers, story tellers – there is a whole area where you will find Theater plays, poets, art gallery displays, the world spans the globe..(club members)
Yesterday early in the day I was at Japonica, which you can see was all about Japan and Asian culture. I could just as easily been visiting another part of the world and enjoying what is being offered by the community of artists who want to share their country/history etc.
Not everyone who visits SL is an artist, but definitely “explorers” The diversity in a virtual environment is so multi faceted, you can explore every dimension of YOUR BEING, You can fly, you can dance, you can visit ancient ruins, learn about Space travel, visit Native American tribal lands of days gone by, voyage on the Titanic… the list goes on.
First, accept everything. Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and at times inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs, and try to accept and understand it for what it is.

To many 7 is a lucky number. There are numerologist that believe 7 is so perfect and powerful that it represents a connection to the Universe. It is usually very positive, ie. happiness, renewal and perfection. 7 = heaven,
Another definition of 7 in numerology, is that 7 stands for both deep and wise. Asking questions, researching, listening, and sensing are all special skills that 7 uses in its search for awareness.
Here we are today is the 7th. day of the 7th month.! It is said and I lean towards this, that number 7 leans more towards an intellectual approach to life, rather than an emotional one. Being a Virgo, I like it can be an analytical number, it enjoys gathering and filtering information to find an answer. or answers. =^_^= Powerful intuition, you bet!
Take on the task even though you are busy. You are busy because you are needed. Actively, positively and creatively juggle your time to fit the new task in.
Who says a dog’s life isn’t always easy. It is 80 degrees in the shade and the human wants to go for a walk. Give me a break. Personally, I’m going to stand my ground on this one. Ahhh found a place to chill.. and man I’m gonna just lie here till I’m ready to get up. If I could only get him to turn off that noise box.
We humans are always putting words and thoughts into our dog’s actions. Today I took the two whippets out to the country for some quality R & R with some of their whippet buddies out at the Breeder’s “spa”… huge running area, level terrain, shade umbrellas, huge wooden deck. Velcro the oldest (a true senior citizen) was fine till all the youngsters were let out.
Body language says it all, he went to the door that leads out of the back spa area.. and stood there, face pointing out of the area. Non verbal communication, “Let’s head” This human was enjoying a nice breeze and pleasant conversation.. Like Leon (above) my dog was not interested in what I wanted, he had decided it was time to go.
Choices.. choices.. Keeper his sister (grandmother ) to a few of the younger dogs.. was also showing signs of.. ok enough of the activity.. I’m ready to leave. When you live a quiet life, and are suddenly surrounded by very active, curious and playful pups.. you are happy to climb back into the vehicle for the ride home.
So what did I learn today – our animals, communicate to us, communication is key between all living beings. We need to be open and aware to receive … when it happens, it is a wonderful connection.
This next picture is of a sheep that I fell in love with when I was working with textile textures. I went through a phase where i went bananas over sheep.. this breed was one of my favourites.
Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many time as it takes. Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give uu”, but that is the time for you to dig deep and ush through, Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.
