flowers

A bouquet of friendship and love from friends in Australia.

Came home from a long day yesterday to find a message from the concierge, could I come to the front desk please…. et voila…this beautiful arrangement was waiting for me.

It took me some time to get over my husband’s passing, the changes that made in my life, how I felt about my situation, what it meant to me, and how I was going to move forward. Nature, its constant ebb and flow, the seasons, flowed into one another, spring was followed by summers, summers turned golden and crimson, … winter soon followed, and before I knew it years had passed and I was still “on hold”

You all know that soon changed in the spring of this year when I woke up one day and listened to the urging of my inner voice. You have seen my posts, you’ve read my “ramblings” … one quote that I have used .. is

it was like a light bulb went on in my head. I didn’t even know that I was ready to move on with my life it just happened. To my amazing friends who helped me achieve this mammoth change from being a home owner to a renter….the real estate agency that worked to accomplish my goal, Walkerottawa.com (Michelle Walker and Carl Brunet) .. I am filled with gratitude, I could not have done it on my own. their expert consultation/guidance their action plan. The house was sold within the first couple of days.

Blessings all, till soon.

planning

More cards done. The seasons will soon change, October, Goblins and ghouls, November, Thanksgiving and December, Festive holidays. I am pacing myself, and doing them in stages… There are times, I have had to go all out and focus on a getting a lot done in a short time. Handmade cards in the tourist cafes are popular.

Give importance to listening, looking, thinking doing and speaking

Look and listen carefully before making a judgment. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings.

Smile everyone, today is a new beginning.

Bom dia

There are some memories that will never leave us. We are reminded many times a day/night what a joy that “energy” brought to our lives.

When we have the opportunity in life to share time and space with an energy force that loves unconditionally – we hopefully will learn to echo that characteristic and live learning to practice love and kindness in our daily lives.

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity.

PL Precept #15 All is a mirror

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

When all around, the energy around you is one of discontent, unhappiness and negativity. It’s time to seriously think of moving. Change is the only constant in life.

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.

creativity

Happiness is getting one more project done. Needed to top up the inventory of cards that the church supplies a couple of “places” in the city. Having just moved, could I find some of my supplies.. of course not… Being a long time card maker and multi media expressionist, I have gotten used to using the quality of inks etc. from Art Supply stores. When I came to use inks.. guess what I couldn’t find. I decided to try a package of inks offered for children’s activities. Hello World! they worked just fine for the cards..

The other challenge I’ve been given is a new parking spot …Suffice to say the jury is still out if I can maneuver the car into the sardine space. There is a difference of 80$ a month. Psst .. send encouragement !!!!!

Today is a brand new day!

If you think, “its just another day,” your life will simply be stagnant and unchanging. You are in fact given this unique day unlike any other, so live it to the fullest.

PL2017.3

Seize the day! Enjoy the delight of exploring possibilities.

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 –

beginnings

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….

Monday

Open skies, road leading to somewhere… and I’m in heaven.

I feared of never being able to take to the road again. Getting a new computer has proved to be a challenge, an opportunity if you will to practice my patience. I had reached a stage of wanting to be a turtle so I could just slip back into my shell and stay there till another season appeared on the horizon. Certainly I love the new look, I can’t say enough times, how much I didn’t like the laptop. yes it worked just fine, and yes it was technically able to do all I wanted it to do. BUT I do not like how one has to use a laptop, I never took to the keyboard and for sure I just couldn’t operate that flat thing on the keyboard, instead of a mouse.

Yes I added a remote mouse, and I had to use a blue tooth keyboard with it.. but it (laptop) was not happy, it wanted me to unplug it, so it could function without being plugged in… bottom line. I got myself a desktop!

Now I am trying to set it up.. this is a trial effort… thank you for your patience.

The Shortcut to Progress is to listen with a humble mind

If you are stuck in your own ways, you will eventually become bogged down. Let’s remember to be humble, learning what we can for the knowledge, advice and suggestions of others.
