Good morning… thank you all for your encouraging words, Quinn and Quincy are getting along very well. They settled in very nicely, he is a gentle “old” soul, watches out for her, and doesn’t let her get away with any of her nonsense. He is a little over 2 years old and she we think is about 10 months old.

Today the 11th we celebrate Ancestors’ Day in the PL community. Through this ceremony we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and ask for their protection and guidance so we can continue to live the PL Way!

If you cannot be with us today at church .. take a moment of silence around 10 a.m. to express your appreciation …give thanks… life is good…

Till soon.

Good relationships begin by greeting each other.

Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighbourhood.

The dragon is stirring.. he’s beginning to wake. Won’t be long now before his roar is heard all across the galaxy… slowly his body will slither with a purpose .. he’ll be heading your way… carrying a cornucopia of wishes from the heavens…. to sprinkle star dust particles of happiness, glad tidings, good health and prosperity over all the land.

How did you ring in the new year? Was it a big event for you? What does it mean to you? Has it or does it make a big impact on your life? I ask out of curiosity, in my world the moving into a new year, is a very personal and exciting time, not so much because it is a reason to celebrate and party, but because it is a milestone, one I can reflect on, and review all the goodness and positives that have enriched my life. I get to share the solar calendar with friends, and then later, the welcoming of the new lunar year.

When my Dad was alive, he would take me to big events, where there was always a dragon dance, with firecrackers, and the smell of incense filled the air along with the smoke from the fire crackers. We would go down to Chinatown, and he’d hoist me up so I could see the Dragon dancers make their way along the street .. merchants would stand in front of their shops… welcoming the dragon… there would be fresh oranges and rice on the small shop alters.. welcoming the new year spirits …. encouraging the dragon to bestow good fortune on their businesses, and good health and happiness to their families.

When my Dad passed the old traditions died with him… In my maturity, I have kept many of the old ways, the cleaning out of the “old” to make way for the “new”. I begin in late fall, meditating and reviewing what “life” is like for me.. Thinking of how I feel, what is happening with me, physically and intellectually. The biggie is…. is my life filled with contentment, am I happy. I am pleased that for the most part, yes … I am a happy person.. and.. I know contentment. Sure I get upset, and yes I have moments, but they are short lived, because, I like and prefer to be happy. We are all blessed with opportunities in life, I strive for and enjoy, quiet, serene, and tranquility. Simplicity.

Always express your true self with honesty and integrity

We feel a deep sense of joy when we are able to express our true selves. Always focus on your true feelings and express yourself honestly.

PL2014.3

Happy new year to everyone, may your lives be blessed/enriched with love that is true, good health, prosperity and happiness,

Talent

There comes a time when we have to acknowledge that there are talented individuals out there.. Naria the vlogger/blogger who put together this video of a holiday show that was presented in Second Life for the holidays, is an “influencer” who helps showcase the many individuals in the virtual world who work behind the scenes to entertain and bring happiness and smiles to everyone… Not just the communities within Second Life, but to everyone!

Every avatar you see is a “person” who has spent hours not only developing their online personalities, but working together to put together this musical. The set designers, the costume makers, the makeup artist… No one person does it alone..

So it is in our everyday world. Please everyone..

Let’s find the good in others and praise them

All people have good qualities and bad qualities, Focus on the good in others and applaud them every chance you get.

PL Precept # 2 To live is to express one’s self.

PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others.

If you are going to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

Silence is a practice

Silence reduces stress

Silence is a gift we give ourselves

Silence brings us to the here and now

This can be a busy time of year to many. The environment around us can be hectic, loud and forever in a state of motion. It is a time of year that people can find themselves struggling to keep pace with what is happening around them.

Pause, take a step back, stop rushing around, it is a time for quiet reflection… soon the new year will be here. Look at what is important to YOU. If you are going to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty,

The key to solving problems is within you

The problems that appear before you can surely be solved. Give it your best effort, and the answers will come to you as long as you remain strong in your conviction that all will turn out well.

It is important to be assertive, but maintaining harmony is just as important.

Say what is on your mind clearly, but don’t be overly attached to your views. Respect the points of view of others and always seek to find a happy medium.

Wednesday

Always remember to be thankful and humble – everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. We are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down.

You create your reality when you begin each day in meditation/prayer

Every experience is a journey and brings awareness.

Have a good day everyone! till soon.

Wednesday

All the little reindeer are getting ready for their big haul coming up. They have to keep in shape, work their muscles, and keep their limbs flexible… build their stamina. We are being told to expect our first big snow drop…there were snow dustings yesterday. Time to put the sand and a shovel into the car, make sure the ice and snow scrapers are within reach. You ready?

When you get stuck, go back to the beginning

Could it be that you have forgotten what initially sparked your enthusiasm? By remembering what inspired you in the beginning, you will feel a renewed enthusiasm.

For those of you following the car saga, Its back, however it is not finished, there is still a problem with the wi-fi system, I can get calls, but no one can hear me.. could be the speaker or another wire that is malfunctioning!… but it can’t go back in till the 10th. Not having it for over a week, means I have a lot of “catch up ” to do. Positive side. I will be unavailable while in my car /out on runs etc… just like in the good old days of landlines and no wi-fi in cars. Always look for the silver lining!!!!!!

Have a great day everyone, and IF you are in an area where the snow is coming or has come, please be prepared. Check your anti-freeze, the windshield washer fluids are they minus weather grade, do you have a shovel, sand/salt in the car if you travel outside the city a must ….. yup winter is here. In Canada winter tires are a necessity … NB* in some Provinces you will be ticketed or fined if you are travelling without them. Take heed. Be Prepared.

If you have a tendency to be careless about everyday matters, you cannot expect to perform well at crucial times.
