Pumpkins bump in the night – who will ring your doorbell tonight… have you prepared for the ghosts and goblins that will roam the streets tonight… moaning and groaning the vampires and zombies will stumble and grumble under the moonlight … while witches and elves will sneak up and thrill on your screams of fright.
In most towns and cities in the North American hemisphere there will be weird and wonderful hauntings happening … this will be a week-end of parties and fun,, Whatever you get up to, enjoy!
Don’t hesitate to show kindness to others.
Do you ever find yourself hesitating to show kindness to someone? It is when you put your thoughts into action that you can show other what is in your heart.
We’ve all been there, we diligently work on a project, only to have someone come along, and ask us to revise portions of what has been done…. Star’s expression…. you what? you would like me to redo all of the first page. Is one that many today, with the ease of modern computers, can redo easily, at one time, when we worked with typewriters… this was not the case. If you missed knowing that era… look it up!
PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.
When you walk into a room … then forget what you came in for?
It is easy to get discouraged … PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in Relativity
Appreciate the Makoto (Sincerity) of the People who came before you.
Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.

Dancing allowing the music to flow in and around you… letting your body move to the natural rhythms so you harmonize with the world around you is a wonderful way to “let go” of body stress. Q
The woodland creatures are waking up, the fresh invigorating breezes are ruffling the colourful leaves, you can feel the crispness creeping in… the skies are a brilliant blue, with startling white clouds lazily floating and drifting… creating delightful panoramas. Drives along open roads with farmlands sprawling on either side of the road, interspersed with woodlands that are waving a multitude of bright red and zesty yellow and oranges are beckoning, The world is a kaleidoscope of brilliant colour.
If you are cheerful, it will make everyone around you cheerful
Cheerful and happy people naturally attract others. Always smile and have a pleasant attitude.
Easy movements, slow, mind focused on how your body is able to move easily into the different stances. then taking the time to sit and reflect on how we are coping with the day to day opportunities that come our way. That is a personal activity that one should do daily. The world around us is busy, constantly moving, so often, we move into the day and adjust our energy to merge in and out of the constant ebb and flow of what is happening around us, Not taking into consideration the affect the jarring and the noise will have on our own peace of mind, The effects are not always positive. In making time to take 10 – 15 min. in the day to meditate, contemplate you can give yourself an energizing lift. Even 3 – 5 minutes of silence with your elbows propped on a desk.. and your chin, cupped in your hands can produce a quiet calm that gives you an energizing lift, the body/mind relaxation during a busy day can increase productivity and do wonders for YOU, YOU matter.
With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do,
Even when you’ve put in your best effort, you may have overlooked something . With a humble mind, take a second look to check for mistakes or oversights.
PL2014.7
We work better and we are more efficient and effective when our energy is balanced. We feel better and are able to get a better night’s sleep when we are happy with ourselves. There is an expression, “Misery loves company” ….. ….. personally, I’m happy to let the miserable enjoy their chosen way of life.. I prefer to be happy and live with kindness and goodness in my life. it is so much more freeing.. and it all begins with a genuine smile.
I try to do lessons every day, I study most nights for at least 2 – 3 hours. I focus on quieting the mind, letting information filter through my gray cells. Some information stays with me, some fades into the night … one of the realities of living on one’s own .. is that how we plan our day/nights is a learning curve on its own. I am blessed with many of you who write blogs, you share your ideas/pictures and allow me a glimpse into the colours and pieces of your lives. AND your thoughts, ideas and your creativity always give me pause to reflect on how multi-faceted the world is.
The last few days have been revealing in a way that I would have preferred not to have lived it, but, it was not to be.. I relearned a valuable lesson..
In PL.. you have all seen my posting the Precept. # 5 One’s self is lost by being emotional. Guess who got caught by scammers…. yup yours truly, I dealt with it… but it was a very loud reminder that I need to look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions. I reacted to an e-mail I received, and didn’t heed the inner voice that screamed Beware!!! I was lucky I it seems I acted in time to avert a serious breech. Thank you to everyone who helped me through the “crisis.”
Don’t give up? Keep at it until you accomplish what you started
The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish, you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult the task is.
Is it a summer cold… is it allergies… what … what is it…. woke to a feeling of unease, stuffed ..congested, a throat that was on fire.. and…. a glue gun that wouldn’t work like it should. Oh groan… sigh… it is going to be one of those days. The sky outside looked gloomy, a gray pallor hung over the buildings I could see from my window. The bright eyed smiling girl of the other day, failed to make an appearance, I did attempt to run a few errands,, but the “adult” portion of my gray cells,. finally broke through the fog in my head… and I was encouraged to drive home, straight home.. and cease and desist ignoring what my body was trying to tell me. Tomorrow will be another day!
When you get stuck, take a step back.
When you are able to see things objectively, your viewpoint will change and you will receive new wisdom.

Did you know that yesterday the 22nd, was the black moon? Did you stay in? (at night) I had forgotten, it wasn’t till I was shutting down for the night that I saw my reminder.,… I was able to take time, to reflect and enjoy the tranquility of the event. Black moon encourages empowerment, and connecting with your intuition to embrace and change and ignite one’s inner light. probably why I am disappointed to wake to a new day and find my body is having a wee tantrum.
Song is Thy will be Done.. I never heard it before last night.. by James Hilton-Cowboy… listening to it, sent me into a very reflective mood. We are all born to die, yet death ( the word )seems to strike fear and anxiety into almost everyone. Only in October, do the ghouls and goblins come out to play…
There seems to be a focus on aging, we are all going in that direction, yet the media is full of commercials, videos and clips on “staying young”. there are ads for everything, all items with claims you just can’t live without them… creams, lotions, tonics, oils, machines, … Life is for living… at any and all ages. One podcast I saw was about how when you are reaching or in your 40’s *.. you have to focus on accepting you are “old”. I almost choked on that one,
Instead of living each day to the best of our abilities and exploring all this world has to offer, the focus is on the past, or all the MUST do’s if you want to “look” good in your “older” years.. OMG you might reach 50!!!
It is true, people are living longer,
PL Precept # 19 Begin once you perceive
There was a time, when it was different, but that is not now.. we’ve come a long way. I’m not saying the world is perfect, but there is so much to be thankful for. i.e if the technology wasn’t what it is today, I would not have heard that song.. thy will be done.. and I wouldn’t have spent an interesting evening searching out more music and trying to find out information on the singer and the album that song came from.
PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point
With progress comes change. (the only constant in life is change) and in true Tao fashion, you cannot have positive without negative… With the technology and all its positives, it has negatives too… it is used in negative ways i.e. cyber theft, the falsifying of documents, the robotic way we have to communicate with companies… the “human” “humanity” is being “downgraded”.
PL Precept # 15 All is a mirror
The thought process was very enlightening, I found myself going down “memory lane” to what was (for me) a “ahhhhh you have lived a long time. The song I’ve listened to over and over, I am not sure why it has an appeal to me, but it does. I am very content with my life… and I am ready to take that final journey. NO.. there is nothing wrong with my health, I’m fine…. I am not at death’s door, but I do accept and know that my time will come. Meanwhile I want to live and experience life to its fullest. By that I mean .. I like being “happy and content” .. and that is what I want in my life.
I am not interested in what other people consider a “need” nor do I want to listen to or be around negativity.
I’m repeating this message from the other day..
Face Challenging situations with positive determination
When you encounter difficulties, boldly take measures to overcome them. By creatively finding solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.

ref. old. I work with “older” clients… and one sent me an example of what she was listening to… it was about why younger males appreciate “older” women.. the older women they were referring to were ladies in their mid 30’s and early 40’s.
I can only shake my head and hope that common sense prevails.
