Other people can sense how you are feeling. So, be cheerful!

oh dear
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.
take care, have a great rest of the week-end.

Such a simple statement… but oh….. so true.
Put your heart into our words
Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.
PL2022.19
I have been writing all my life, expression whether written or creatively has always been a passion. In the move, a lot of material was unearthed that came from “past lives”…. I have been looking in wonder at some of the pieces and wondering “who” was this person, “where” was I coming from when these “expressions” were conceived. Some I have kept and will look at again, others I have “passed” on… they simply have no meaning anymore.
Learning to ** LET GO ** is a life long curve and journey that we take. I do see or recognize a thread.. some of my “instincts” and “thoughts” run deep! Never the less… I am working on cutting back,.

Sometimes it gets so busy, we need to escape, find a place to simply ‘stop’ be on our own… let the day settle around us… and chill.
We are capable of handling whatever comes our way
Instead of asking yourself, “can I do it?” simply tell yourself, “I’m going to do it!”. Then give it your best effort.

Ottawa
PL Ottawa offers a quiet tranquil respite from a busy active world. Nestled between trees and an expansive park like setting…. there is always someone to welcome and greet the visitor.
Situated off a busy major road that flows traffic across the busy city (Ottawa is the capital of Canada) we often are visited by people curious and just wanting to stop a moment. In a city where there is a constant stream of traffic, of people and cars “getting somewhere’…. the church grounds are right next to protected green space. It is not unusual to find that “wildlife” from the little forest will stroll over to church grounds, curious to explore.
Different but another thought for you to think about
A cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy.
When you do everything with a smile, not only you but the people around you will feel good. Always remember to put on a happy face.

PL church Ottawa is the only physical building in Canada, we are visited from members from USA, Brazil, Japan. For PL members it is an opportunity to have a place to be while touring and visiting in the area.

today
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.
geranium
Geraniums are one of the most recognizable summer flower, actually they are pelargoniums, technically perennials, mostly known as annuals. They originate in hot climate. home gardeners prize them as a container plant. Did you know that there is a geranium essential oil? It is said, it can promote emotional balance, support skin health and aid in hormonal balance.
It is also know for its antibacterial, anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been used to repel insects and has a pleasant floral scent. The oil has been used to treat health conditions for centuries. There is scientific date indicating that it may be beneficial in a number of conditions. *Always check with a doctor before using if you intend to substitute any oil to replace prescribed treatments.
Like Geraniums… people are like flowers, their outward appearance is not “who they are”.. you can’t tell what is inside a book by looking at the cover.
Each person has their own special qualities
Each of us is born with a unique personality, and a unique worldview. BE respectful of others and learn to get along with people of all types,
