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.
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.

Some food for thought! Have a good one everyone! Till soon.
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.

inks.. Crystal Craft – they say, good for fabric, wood, paper (Amazon overnight)
fyi ..Rockhound Gemboree was a total delight. I attended a lecture on the oldest dinosaur found in Alberta… saw some amazing displays and came home with a few treasures!
Be kind to one another! smile and share PL Sunshine and Joy.
because we can’t see the ground under the ice, does that mean it isn’t there
with the ivory cover being missing, will the piano still play
will the sun ever shine again..
How authentic are we….
Life is what it is… I learned a long time ago…. even side by side looking out at the same view, no two people will ever have the same experience or see the same thing. But I learned in my lifetime, that in being true to myself, my journey is blessed… how about you?
In the silence – garden spirits (nature)keep watch…
Just because you close your eyes, the day does not disappear,,, as much as you want to believe that night won’t follow day…. or day turn to night – life is what it IS no more… no less.
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….
PL PRECEPT # 20 LIVE MAINTAINING EQUUILIBRIUM BETWEEN MIND AND MATTER
Put your whole heart into everything you do in your daily life. Your true self will shine through
It doesn’t matter where you go .. how you do your hair, wear your clothes, you will always be YOU. Clothes, makeup, hairstyles will not change the person you are, It does feel good to dress up, and it is fun to try different outfits, but always, you “person” is the YOU you woke up with and will be with you when you turn off at night.
PL Precepts – # 2 – To live is to express One’s self

How many times have you gone on a holiday to escape, only to find that you only took your “issues” with you … and guess what.. when you get home/back- nothing changed.
Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once you have made up your mind, move forward without hesitation.
PL2012.20
This message is one that needs repeating. How often do we rush into something, and find that ..maybe, just maybe…. we should have, could have waited.

Was a month yesterday, I have been living in an apartment, what a change, and what a blessing. I learned how valuable friends are, and how life without them would be very empty. Friends are precious gifts.
View your difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress
You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.
Yesterday came and went, it can not be recalled or relived. What was, was. So often I find myself with an idea … and I don’t write it down. “I’ll remember” I tell myself.. but I don’t. Oh I recall I had this brilliant idea, but what the idea was…. ah… well… let’s just say, it may or may not surface again.
Discover the joy of transforming yourself
When you realize how much you have changed for the better, it fills you with true happiness. Strive each day to improve yourself.
PL2014.8
