Happy Father’s Day
to a man who was a blessing and so appreciated by those who really knew him, and shared his space/time/world.

wanna dance
June 15, 2018
Sometimes I wonder how my brain functions. It was bedtime. need to shut down and rest… The above link will take you to what I decided to watch to wind down. Duh, is this a case of “mixed emotions” or a tiny bit of “silly”
Bruno Mars is an “energy” that encourages me to get up and dance, move, keep fit, he makes it all look so effortless, but of course, we all know that such dexterity and co-ordination comes with hard work and practice.
The lazy me, knows that I won’t retain ease of motion if I sit around all day, and the “smart” me knows that right now… I can use some “slowing down”.. BUT whether I feel like it or not, I need to stay fit. So…. today, I may not get up and dance, but I will do my steps… walk, one foot in front of the other, and step step step.
How about you? Are you making time for YOU. or….. are you letting the world hold you down, and not looking ahead…… come on…. move it!

lost? in place
June 11, 2018
No, not lost where you don’t know where you are, just “lost” when you stand in one place and feel that at that moment, you are in many places. The shadows, the lush vegetation, the multiple shades of green. AND of course the almost hidden old wooden building in the background.
My adventure companion and I had arrived in Merrickville, her for ice cream, and me, for no real reason but to share time with a friend and enjoy the outing. Then I saw this place and was instantly transported to many places at once. I saw New Hampshire, the Laurentians, southern NY state, it was an amazing feeling, it wrapped itself in a hug and vanished,
Such moments are not uncommon, but they are not “ordinary” we have to be tuned in to “receive the frequency”. Be present in your every day life. Live each moment! Live with appreciation .. give thanks!

Magic carpet.
Not really but the colours appealed to me. I did however resist bringing it home. I have been busy for weeks now cleaning up, doing a major spring cleaning. So much to be done, true I didn’t need to do it right away, but, type AAA that I am, once I know something has to be done. I make it happen. In a way, I got on my own carpet and worked “magic”.. I revved up the old broom and pulled into drive.
Day 9 PL Calendar – Your surroundings are a reflection of YOU.
I believe that to be true. For over a year now, I have been unable to focus on my surroundings, it was no longer a “comfortable” ambiance.
Day 10 PL Calendar – Everyone has their own unique Personality
I have been told “not to do anything major for the next while because, whether I realize it or not, I am going through a “phase of adjustment” So…………..little by little I have been cleaning out… removing “illness” “pain” and “discomfort” Sweeping, cleaning, washing, and making changes, that enhance the “home” ensuring that the “balance” and harmonizing of “energies” comes alive again, and grows with each passing day. A home is where the “heart” is. Always, forever and always.
The next few days will be busy, on Monday the 11th. at 10.am. we will have the Ancestors’ Day ceremony and special prayer and memorial for Brian. Where-ever you are, at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time if you are able to, join us in prayer. What a positive VIBE it will be. =^_^=
Blessings dear friends… may the Universe shine down loving rays to warm your days and sprinkle night dreams with enriched star dust.

the door
June 7, 2018
Hello door
how come you are so small
if I open you, where will I go
first you need to open me
only then will you see
if it is possible to enter within
well, I thought that isn’t so welcoming
still it was a pretty door,
I was intrigued
I bought the door and brought it home
now you are mine
I smiled and thought of when I would go inside
the door silently stared back at me
yes, I am yours it finally said
but just because you bought me
doesn’t mean that I will open up for you
hmm there was a message there
not so much in what was said
or was it……….. what was said
I had the door, the physical door was in fact mine
no doubt there, it sat on my desk as pretty as ever
Sometimes, it is not the door we want .. is it?
It is what is inside…. or what we “think” is beyond the door
Have you come across a door of late
where you are willing to wait
to see if you have the “key” to open the door
and go beyond the physical barrier
of a shut ” door”

Once upon a time -shoes
June 6, 2018
Shoes, the famous story of Cinderella .. and her “slipper” that could be what got me going, but.. it would have been only one factor in my “love” of shoes. I have a whole Pinterest section on shoes.. I just like to look them, enjoy the “SASS”. A much younger me, loved to prance around in a high heel, that gave my barely 5.3″ frame, (what I envisioned myself) as 5.8 or 5.9 striding down a catwalk. For some reason, I didn’t want to be over 6 ft.
My perception of myself was that I was tall. We all know that at 5 ft. 3 inches, I was not and still am not, in any way shape or form tall. Yet I still managed to get hired to do shows, because I believed that I “fit” in. Later of course, I realized that I stood out due to my “Chinese” heritage. I had not aimed for university to be a doctor, lawyer or ?? no… I wanted to be a model, teach self-improvement, and be in the “business”
Some dreams come true, others, are chapters in your life that you pass through and move on. I did work with people, and “serve” but through law enforcement, health care, and now ministry. MY shoes of choice
I may not look like Cinderella, but wow do my feet feel like dancing, YES!
Changes are the only constant in life. Life each day the best way you know how.. you will never have regrets. It’s all good.

Perceptions can be very real, only not in the way you might “see” them… Q
dreams
June 5, 2018
The last few nights I have had the strangest dreams.. Well .. really if I think about it, they are not all that strange, the themes in most of my dreams are multi-coloured and always, I seem to be drifting from one “act” to another…usually I’m in the same locations, but the back drops are different. Players change in appearances but in the long and short of it all, they bear similar personalities to the actors I’ve interacted with in the past.
I found this picture in my files, and thought it appropriate for this post. The colours are cheerful, however there is something about the picture that although I like various aspects of it.. For me, the total doesn’t really pull together properly. And that, dear reader, is what I am “feeling” this morning. My dream, my recollection, the moment, etc. is OK, but there is a BUT.
Ever happen to you, can you relate. It is Tuesday after all, not Thursdays when I usually like to participate in Norm’s Thursday doors. link to Thursday Doors
What else to do but go forward with the day and see what transpires. Exciting eh~!

Walking the Risholmen Arboret
June 1, 2018
more pictures of beautiful Norway from another source
Endelig har det lykkes meg å finne den riktige Risholmen og endelig kan jeg invitere dere alle med på en tur som antagelig vil kunne gi dere ro i sjelen i en hektisk hverdag. Mitt første bilde viser deler av Risholmen til høyre. I baugen – rett forut – har vi fastlandet.
Det er vanskelig å anslå noen størrelse på Risholmen, men man kan forsiktig antyde noe
rundt 60-70 mål, og her inne i furuskogen har Heddy Astrup i samarbeid med Norges Landbrukshøyskole på 50-tallet etablert et arboret med ca 1000 rododendron-busker og mer enn 130 andre arter godt skjult i furuskogen som ellers dekker det meste av denne nydelige øya. Og nå er vi klare til å ta en nærmere kikk på denne perlen av en øy!
At last I have succeeded in finding the correct ‘Risholmen’, and at last I’m in position to invite you along to walk…

What to do when your day starts with a “bang” (unpleasant one) and then more or less continues on in similar fashion. During the 10 a.m service today, (Day of Peace) I found myself crying thinking of what happened early before I got to the church.
The dog got his tail chopped off by a closing door. My precious baby.. yelped, then I saw the piece of tail on the floor and the trail of blood as he escaped into the house. Such misery, such helplessness.. I could only react. Meanwhile his sister who is white, was now looking like a red dalmatian and blood was everywhere, on me and on the carpets. Didn’t matter all I wanted to do was pick him up and hold him to me… of course that did wonders for my outfit. When I finally got to church, I realized that I still had blood on me, and my clothes. What a sight.
Fortunately the vet made a house call. I was so relieved. We are all resting comfortably, the human will be taking to her bed very early. Oh dear, just remembered have to check on the laundry. Used cold water. back.. looks like all the stains came out. ahh sigh.
PL Calendar, day 2 Be Forever young and seek new challenges
The world is constantly in motion and never rests. Keep your senses sharp and be ready to adapt to the ever-changing world.
During all of today’s “activities”, I picked up the memory candle from the Funeral home, isn’t it pretty, there is a small compartment that is sealed under it. During the service, the candle is lit. I had never seen these before. I am comforted that it is home with me now.
Life is what it is. I need to slow down, and let my journey set the pace for peaceful healing.
