Finding a cabin near a stream
taken near Wakefield,Quebec
A difficult climb yes, it is rated strenuous, the hike itself to get there and do the full trail is 41 miles (65 km) and will take approx. 5, 6 days, depending on how you like to “wander”. It is the Drakensberg the highest mountain range in South Africa. It is not a defined trail, there is a variety of terrain, and sights to see and experience. Cascading rivers, waterfalls, along with some prehistoric drawings..
This was my slice of adventure Sunday, when we drove along the river, and found this quarry. Yes I’d love to climb that chain ladder, the idea is exhilarating, however, at this moment, I was exploring a part of Quebec, and the rocks here.. they drew me like visual candy… It was exhilarating to stand in the cool crisp air, make my way as far as I could into the area and capture the strong character of some of the boulders.
Live in the moment
Enjoy every opportunity that comes your way
So that at the end of the day
you can honestly say
Hurrah, Hooray
It’s been a great day
I lived it my “way”
the PL “Way”

Sometimes, we dream of far away places,
Sometimes these events do take place,
Other times, what was, was
and the time comes when
our dreams are shelved.
live with hope in your heart
remember the journeys
the past is what your present is built on
live each moment to the fullest

Creativity begins with an idea, then someone sets out to put the design to paper, from there, they “play” at making it work, how many times, and what number of templates were done before they got the finished product they wanted. We see the final product, and go… WOW…. Our lives are constantly being blessed because someone came up with an idea, and by themselves or with collaboration, they developed the idea into a product, idea, or service.

In PL (Perfect Liberty) the first Precept. PL Precept #1 Life is Art, is really the foundation of the philosophy we teach and practice. Begin today and everyday, with a brand new canvas, it will make your daily choices so much more interesting.
This is a YouTube clip that will keep you inspired
There was a time when we would say “everything worthwhile in life is FREE” By this we meant, LOVE, Happiness, Sharing, Giving,Caring, a Hug, and so on. Time spent with a friend was such a blessing and a special time… It was being with that person, and giving a personal, hand-made gift meant time thinking of your friend, while you made up or wrote them a letter or a note card. There was personal interaction, and exchanges.
Life does get busy, but that special connection, a personal word or visit, goes a long way in making for a stronger bond, or sense of awareness in the other person’s world. When we reach out and share with a friend, even a stranger, we are rewarded 100 fold.
Yes, I love a beautiful object, and I admire the work, the skill of the crafts person who did it. I appreciate its beauty, and sometimes I even want to acquire that object. But the greatest gift of all for me is the sincerity, and genuine love that shines in my life. Life is LOVE. Love abounds all around us. BE ONE with GOD, share your love, reach out and bring light and joy to someone today!

A story about to be told? unfolding? a work in progress…… doors are always opening and closing. If only the door could talk..=^_^=
another day goes by
and still I wait
under the clear blue skies
I watch one cloud slowly make its way
to another cumulus cloud
as they merge into one another
my thoughts return to another time
when I was young
in my prime
life was different then
so many fun encounters
young and old
spent time with me
now each new day brings
the trees reach out to give me shade
and the long tall grass
whispers to me softly
as they lean into me
I don’t see as well
with the passing years
my eyes have clouded over
but I know you are always
with me God
that makes every moment
worthwhile
I sit and enjoy
my fading years
another stranger will pass by
and capture me in lens
for whatever state I’m in
the glory of my life with you
will shine through
for
I am one with you

Every day we are faced with choices. Some are small, and routine, done on a regular basis, like when we shop for food. What we are looking for will determine where we go to shop.
What appeals to one shopper will be passed by, by another. I have waited while a customer before me, goes over every bag, weighing it, turning it so that he/she is able to see all produce in the bag.
Even once we’ve picked out the product we will take home with us, no two people will cook that one product in the same way. That is why there is such a great variety of restaurants as well. Though they may offer the same basic dishes, how they are cooked and served, could be oceans apart. When it comes to food, almost everyone I know, is willing to try something different and will dig in and enjoy a cuisine from a different culture. Diversity is a welcome change.
Why then, do we draw a line, or seem to be so black or white, when it comes to choices we make about our social environment? Or cultural divides? A very close someone in my life, will eat carrots, but when they came out with “designer” carrots, (different colours) he balked, why…. cuz they didn’t look the same, blind folded, they would taste the same, but……. Another friend told me her husband wouldn’t eat the new blue potatoes, why… cuz they didn’t look like a potato……………………………………………?????????????
A child is innocent, loving, trusting, … they make us all smile with their smiles, and their genuine responses to being loved. What and why do we change as we advance in years. What changes us. WE are shaped by the choices we make in life. Choose wisely. Put your full makoto (sincerity) in all you say and do.

Finding this dogwood in its brilliant display of colour
Finding this bouquet of flowers just for you
I am but one person,
yet today my heart overflows with an abundance of love and joy
and I owe it all to YOU

Guess who went to bed and didn’t plug her cell phone in to recharge, first two guesses don’t count. Usually no big deal, however, in an efficient mode these past months, I’ve been doing a tidy up. You know how we can get when the season is changing, especially from winter to spring. “We never use our land line” said I. let’s get rid of it, we both have a cell phone, that will work out just fine.
Good idea, right.. the hands free phones stationed all over the house for ease of access, went bye-bye. I admit there was a feeling of relief as one more item on my want to do list, got a tick mark beside it. For every action there is a reaction. I had my cell phone number changed to the main home phone number, so that worked out fine, more or less. Calls I got for “the husband” simply were rerouted to his number. BUT what happens then when our phones are not nearby, and we don’t hear them ring (ah HA! I got a blue tooth thingie, and I can answer mine from most parts of the house as long as the phone is within “striking” distance ,1,2,ever 3 rooms away .. NOT if you are not wearing the bluetooth
Or if you are busy working on some project, like making greeting cards for the Church sale coming up in June (18th) and you are working with a sticky glue, that sticks to you, but not the card stock!!! The handy hands free that used to be by the desk is gone, your phone is in need of a change, and your blue tooth gadget is ??? somewhere on your other desk in the clutter there.
That golden moment when you remember, your new set up, the cell phone has call answer and voice mail, YAY, so what your fingers and hands are full of sticky glue, you phone will take a message. All I need do, is find Hubby to get the SSS (Skin so Soft- Avon) great for taking away sticky stuff .. I’m sure somewhere there will be a website that will tell you of all it is claimed to be good for. For us, it’s getting the glue/sticky off.
The start of a brand new day
open the window wide
take in all that comes your way
for only today
will you live the golden moments
for tomorrow, they will
have flown away.

Good morning on yet another sun filled day. Going through my morning mail I had the pleasure of finding this beautiful piece of music. As I enjoyed the ambiance it surrounded me with, I thought about Ancestors’ Day, in Perfect Liberty (PL) it takes place on the 11th of each month.
Through this ceremony we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and ask for their protection and guidance se we can continue to live the PL Way. In today’s world, it also embraces our friends, mentors,peers, all those who have through their interaction with us, have helped us understand life, and grow in a positive and meaningful way. This ceremony is performed every 11th. at 10 am. in the church. All ar welcome to join us.
Someone once wrote that they discovered that talking to people anywhere, whether on plans, trains, busses, standing in line at the supermarket,being open to listen, to share, smile… often turns into a valuable lesson.
When we live the PL Way,(with GOD) we always have the JOY and AWARENESS that is not affected by life’s ups and downs.
