Put your heart into whatever you do, and you will find joy in it. If you are going to do something, you may as well do it with enthusiasm. You will gradually begin to see what makes it interesting and learn to enjoy it. (PL2012.19)

Your true self is revealed in the smallest of words and actions. Most people act and speak carefully when faced with an important situation. However, it is also important to put your sincerity into the simplest seemingly minor tasks as well. (P2011.18)

PL Principle # 4 I will live with the spirit of Misasage (Devotion) working for the happiness of others.

This song always makes me smile. all the international members sang this song as we gathered to walk together into the grounds of the PL Holy Land in Japan.

Good morning… hello… bonjour… bom dia …

Remember this picture from yesterday? How many of you saw the bird?


The joy of expression is in the process. Of course results are important, but let’s not lose sight of the true joy that be found in the actual process. Face every task with wholehearted enthusiasm. (PL2012.2)

In the darkness of night – when only the moon shone bright

two souls were entwined in a moment divine

the night was ablaze with twinkling stars

eternity was born

I was “home”

I had been trying to find a picture of the fireworks in Japan that used to take place August 1 at PL headquarters – instead I found this picture .. which is a riot of colour and shows “nature” in one pf her finest moods. The fireworks were to show the awesome delight of watching the amazing artistry of fire in the skies. Why… why was I wanting to showcase electric, dynamic and soul satisfying visuals.. because I wanted to show you how JOY can look, feeling it is hard to capture in words.. because everyone has a different way of using words.. but we all catch our breath when we see fireworks against the midnight black of the skies. or a bouquet of nature’s finest beauties artistically displayed against a clear blue sky.

I am very blessed that I have happiness and love in my life. It is our decision whether to focus on what makes us unhappy or to live in a state of happiness. I choose “HAPPY”… this = contentment….

Accept everything with appreciation. Appreciate not just people and society, but everything that comes your way. You will experience a deeper joy in life.” (PL 2012.21)

How cool is this! I saw this sign on a wall where there was gym equipment being sold. I knew when I saw it, it was a message to me, you all know I have gone back to Movati (health club/gym) … I’m “trying” to work it into my schedule so that it fits in with my “routine”. There are only so many hours in the day. My focus is and has always been.. being happy.. (I can be so self centered)

The other day I found myself watching other members using the various equipment that I see around. The cardio area has been set up differently from when I left in 2017 at that time, they were bringing in new equipment.. now I’m seeing it, and how it is used. I have been offered a free refresher hour, a tour of the new equipment and how it is used etc. Problem with that is I have to stay an hour with a trainer who will also try to be selling me private coaching lessons.

Not up to that at the moment… I just want to wander and use my time there to stretch, walk, do the stairs, and some weights.. etc. the stretching is important and the stairs. It has only been a short time since I’ve signed up again, and already, I can feel the difference in my legs. Doing the steps .. going up to the second level using the winding staircase… is a must.. even if at first I did it at a crawl. I see even the younger members holding on and “huffing”…. I am sure the stairs were not only designed for appearance, they are functional in more ways than one.

When you reach the 2nd level there is a spacious area with very comfortable looking chairs…(I’m happy to say, I do not sit or use the chairs… I keep moving. If I want to sit I do so on a bike.. and pedal.

Even the animals are feeling the heat. It has been brutal, the storm last night did little to clear the air, the heat warnings are still in effect.

“As a living person, you interact with the people and things around in order to express your feelings. Your life is shaped by the way you express yourself each and every day. Through your daily artistic expressions, you can create your one and only life.

If you ae ignoring these truths and just living half heartedly, going through your daily life not paying careful attention to your repeated actions, you will not be able to lead a full life.

Your life is your very own unique work of art.” (PL Life is Art. members guide)

Good morning. When an animal is content…. even if he is in the way. Do we move him? or let him stay?

Don’t let circumstances sway your decision. It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move forward. (PL2022.6)
