tree hugger
I travel far and near to find a tree, usually when I do find one that will chat with me, he lives with cousins near by who are also willing to spin a yarn or two.
Oh goodness me child, how nice of you to stop and visit. We can wait from dawn to dusk to be noticed, but find, we are old, and worn, so no one stops to visit anymore. They come with their dogs and walk right by, they head for open spaces.
Freddy down the way, will be glad of some company, he gets few tenants these days, not even the dogs that come this way, use us anymore to mark their way.
Down the bend, to the right, you will see a path beside Uncle John. The leaves are crisp you will enjoy the sound as they say thank you for your trust in accepting their guidance as you walk the unknown path.
Please come again, your shadow is growing taller, In a few months when you come again, we will be able to show you much more of our world. Then we will see your shadow in the snow. till then, your shadow imprint, will remain for a while, leaving us smiling, because you shared with us.
Just me and my shadow, enjoying the morning sun. There are a lot of roads out there, this one I will visit again. I enjoy and appreciate visiting with Nature. It is pure, it is real.

Bonjour, Bom dia, greetings, Sunday 4th. November
Words are wonderful, words can do so much, however, as I wrote about my adventure to and from Montreal the other day, my thoughts were in colours. Try as I might, I wanted somehow to express the emotions of colours in a more tangible way. I have a canvas on the go too, but am not ready to show you yet. I am on stage 3 or 4 with this book cover. This will be my November December art journal, or Junk journal, whatever, which ever it is a book I will use to play “art” in.
That means that I will play with it, use it, daily or when the time is there for me, to interact with it.. and allow it to become. =^_^=
When we love what we do, or are doing, it may have its “opportunities” but we will creatively enjoy each step of the way, learning all the way.
PL calendar day 4 Enthusiasm will make things interesting
When you put your whole heart into what you are doing, you will begin to notice many important details and your creativity will blossom.

pictures, artwork mine
two of me? or is there more
Sometimes I am good, and other times, well… I want to play. The picture on the right is of me where I accepted the challenge of wearing a bikini. I was nervous being half-dressed like that, and couldn’t stand still. So the picture is a bit fuzzy, but then that’s ok, cuz you can’t see all my fat and bumps.
These were outfits I made to sell in my little shop. The avatar is a Dinky made by a very talented artist in Second Life (Etheria Parrott) She has variety of dinky avatars to pick from, I happen to be a sealpoint and sometimes a lilac point Siamese.
The creative side of me can spend hours exploring the artist creations of others on the grid, and when not exploring, digital photography.
Q (that is me) can spend hours touring, taking in the sights and sounds, visiting different countries .. and never leave the comfort of my home office. I like being Q, she is fearless, she can do almost anything, she loves exploring and meeting people, and learning about the world around her. I on the other hand, can be a bit of a recluse.
This is my friend Awen who introduced me to designing and building in/on a virtual platform. It was a whole new world, and I was open to the challenge.
Life is unpredictable, our creativity, how we pereive the world around us, and how we want to express our individuality, is all part of a whole. We are blessed by being given a new canvas every day.
Seize the day, make art!
PL Calendar, day 31 Your world will change when you look at things in a positive light.
Everything you encounter is an opportunity for you to express yourself. What you choose to make of the situation is entirely up to you.

Graffiti art
Segunda-feira, Greetings everyone, Bom Dia – What is art?
In PL, Precept #1 Life is Art and because we believe that each individual is unique, that says that each person, will have their own creativity. Their own way of addressing life’s opportunities, and deciding how they will express their personal creativity.
If I had cropped the above picture in a different way, it would have been simply a work of art. Someone’s way of making a statement, expressing their “need” at the time. Because it was done on someone elses’ property, we call it graffiti, The person expressed themselves but at the expense of a neighbour or the city . “Art” in this case, the act of expression, made or makes a statement beyond the person’s creativity with a paint can, it says that this person has a disregard for his /her neighbour’s or communities property.
We all make choices, each and every moment of the day. At the end of the day, only you know if your true intentions were expressed, or if you made choices that perhaps could have been expressed in a different way.
PL Calendar 29 Be cheerful and easy-going. Everything has a way of turning out alright in the end. Relax and always try to think positively

Quiet Sunday
Good morning, bom Domingo I’ve pulled up this picture again, because when I look at it, I feel a calm. It reminds me of something that I just can’t put my finger on. *magic* I imagine small dainty like figures in white flowing chiffon gowns, garlands in their hair, twinkling laughter floating through the air, while they whirl and twirl to some imaginary music, that is unheard with my earth-bound hearing. Is it an enchanted circle, could be,.
I will be doing special prayers today, for members, their families and you my friends, near and far. When sharing with you, the enchanted circle is within reach, we will bid farewell to the summer that was, and fly happily into the next chapter of our lives.
Love, appreciation & gratitude that is shared, is a true blessing indeed.

Go in peace today, feel the spirits of the Universe carry you forward in a halo of light.
inner travels
I lay watching the slow rotation of the ceiling fan, a very lazy start to the day indeed. Keeper (female whippet) lay sprawled out beside me. She was showing her nurturing side, concerned that today might be a repeat of yesterday.
She gets very concerned when I cry and wail. Velcro (male whippet) her older brother, takes it in stride, he saw and lived through my display of raw emotion, when my husband was in his final days, and Keeper got out and ran away. Yesterday he simply got up from his favourite chair in another part of the house, to come lie beside me, to lend me his support and quietly wait it out.
My son the other day, looked at me, and said, ” Mom, its OK to cry” and of course it is, but for me, I can’t just cry, I have to be totally shaken and depleted, the body has to over-ride my happiness and stubborn mind that tells me, that there is just so much to be thankful for. And of course there always is, I am so blessed.
However sometimes, the sadness, and discontent of others is too much for me to bear. I feel their pain, frustrations and disillusion. And I have learned that I cannot be happy for someone else. You can not lift the happiness from your life, like a shawl and put it around someone else. You can be kind, listen, share in their “present state” and lend what-ever support you can.
In the end, the choice belongs to them. Yesterday I cried, all the sadness, the disappointments that I have listened to for the last many days and months, welled up and demanded to be released. I wanted escape, and freedom from the continuous onslaught of negative news, the vicious nature that is surfacing in the world around us. The curiosity we seem to have for the gossip tabloids, that thrive by reporting or should I say offering up gossip about cheating, lying and fornication. Where we lust instead of love.
Time for some time out. Quality time without a cell phone, computer, laptop, or tablet. There is a reason, dogs (pets) are the best of friends. They offer unconditional love. Nothing more, nothing less.
Cherish your family and friends, offer kindness and understanding to those around you, when there is unkindness, or dishonesty aimed in your direction. Deflect it, or let it pass you by. Life is too short.
PL Calendar, day 26 Maintain a Positive Attitude and Wisdom will come to you.

Thursday Doors
Happy Thursday everyone.. Bom dia.
Some doorways have a very open and spacious entrance. Others are more “this is what you get” and the tenants do their best to make it welcoming.
Then you leave the town and head out into the open country, the sights and sounds are very different. Yet always there are doors.
I got a tad turned around in my outing yesterday, found myself south when I should have been heading east. Ah who cared, I was out exploring and best of all, the sights of the fall colours was awesome. Meet my new friends…
He was a brilliant conversationalist, (both males) the blonde was less talkative. Sigh pleasures come from the most unexpected places. =^_^=
Remember, we are all responsible for the choices we make in life. Take time today to swing your happy into high gear. Happiness is a powerful positive energy.
PL Calendar day 25…. If you skimp on the paint, your painting will not turn out well. Live a fulfilled life every day by utilizing things, money, your knowledge or energy to their fullest.
My love and gratitude to you all.

Uma maravilhosa quinta feira a todos…
Questions
Where does all our/your excess end up? That is material things, what about the baggage that can’t be seen or held?
What was, often still is. How often do you review, and tidy up. We think we do, but how deep do we dive.
What are your true intentions, Not just with others, but towards your “self” ??
PL day 24 Listen and see with careful attention. Not only to your words, but to your actions.
