C'est mecredi! It's Wednesday!

This is another picture taken in Japan during Rensei Training. July/August 2013
On the right is Rev. Tokuo Itagaki, this man was tireless in his encouragement and hosting of all events! The “go to” man for everything. This picture came to me from a PL member from California (thanks Harry) in it you can see more of the entertainers who came by to share time with us.
(Kappa-Za children’s Theatre Group) The key figure that you saw yesterday and is also in this picture is Kimaru. When you chant his name, he comes out to play =^_^=

Well dear reader, here we are half way through the week, amazing eh. Has it been a good week so far?

Today’s teaching on the PL calendar is
“Letting Go of Your Ego Will Make You a Stronger Person”
If you are always caught up with power,status or appearances, you will have a hard time accomplishing anything of worth.
Let go and express yourself fully

Yesterday I am pleased to say that I managed very nicely to avoid any of the above “traps”, kept to myself, got what I wanted and needed to be done accomplished, all with a smile .. A smile works wonders. Granted I was one tired puppy by the time I got home, but I slept like a lamb.

Life isn’t always full of joy filled moments, but if we (me, myself and I) keep a smile and a happy disposition, the day usually works out to be ok, laughter does win the day.

Enjoy the day, if you live far away, enjoy what is left of the day and have a wonderful night of carefree dreams.

May healing energies bless those of you needing the healing “hug”, If you have extra energy to give, pray that those needing our love feel it in their lives today.

Blessings to each and everyone of you.

PL Spain

PL Spain

A happier, more positive group I have yet to meet, These charmers were a delight to be around. When we were walking with the flags, their enthusiasm and gusto was catching. What better example of Living Life with Good Rhythm.

During the course of a day, new things happen all the time.
Being positive in life, allows for you to flow with the rhythm of the life, flexibly and willingly. Life is Art.

photo -taken by the group from Spain, that is Ana on the far right, she is the coordinator sharing with me. It was thanks to them that we have the wonderful picture of the Peace Tower I used yesterday

The song is a PL song and my favourite, it is one of the songs we sang as we marched together to the celebrations with the flags.

Share the love everyone. Love is what make the world go around. Love is life…. Blessings to you all!

PL Peace Tower – Holy Land – Japan

Image

PL Peace Tower - Holy Land - Japan

Life is Art – “The Foundation of our Faith.
Annually we hold a Peace Tower Ceremony The spirits of all those who lost their lives in wars, regardless of race, religion or nationality are memorialized at the alter of the Peace Tower.

This picture does not do this room justice, it is an awesome sight, and the feeling when one enters is unique and powerful. There are two arms (rooms) that branch out from this central alter. In the ceremony we console the spirits of the dead and pray for the everlasting peace of humankind.

On the first of every month – we celebrate Day of Peace. Through this ceremony we pray for World Peace and dedicate ourselves to live as peaceful human beings. Today being September 1. this is what we celebrated in church.

ALLO – Bonjour _ Hello – Hola – Konnichi wa Being at the church always is a feel good moment, today though, I have a whole lot of extra good vibes, oddles and oodles…in fact.. I’m going to share it all with you…

Before I leave you. remember that September 14, we are having a garage sale – lots and lots of “stuff” “vintage” “new” and surprises.. if you live in the area, don’t miss out!

Believe me this smile is power packed with a lot of love and blessings – please have a great day where-ever you are, and should there be a tear or two, believe me, you are not alone, close your eyes and feel the hug that a wish of love can bring you. Need a special prayer, we can do that too. PL is here for YOU

Oh Yeah! – so what!

Image

Busy busy busy– I am playing host today to a mind that is non stop busy. Doing what you say? Haven’t a clue.
What is a “roo” to do” I want to sew, go to the gym, work on my blog, finish cleaning the fridge, make a replacement mat for next to the burner, package some costume jewelry for the garage sale, prune back the vines that are going crazy in the backyard and you want me to what!!!! Bunnies and eggs month isn’t till next spring!
S T O P …head for a quiet space and sit down and do nothing. That’s right N O T H I N G. now that is better, time to reflect on just what I would like to do in 3 minutes. Not before. First I will do NOTHING.

Works for me, by the time my brain and body realize that I am sitting absolutely still not listening to the chatter, the quiet ,moment has begun. Something magical starts to happen. From the moment you decide “you are in control, and you are going to do get things done at your pace and your way….things begin to happen.
In PL we work at being “mindful” being “present”, when the brain starts to chatter in unproductive blah blah blah. We quietly make time to center ourselves and take back ownership of our day.

Ask yourself, what is needed now and what can wait?
Oh Q Roo (kangaroo) is happy, happy happy! thanks for sharing this moment with me…..

Perfect Liberty – church of

August 27, 2013

Good Morning everyone!

One should never assume. Here I have been happily blogging away about my life with Perfect Liberty, thinking everyone knew about the church of Perfect Liberty or had heard of it. My apologies. Above is the church in Ottawa, Canada. There are also churches in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, New York and Hawaii. These are the churches in North America. For the locations of the churches in Brazil, Argentina, etc. you would need to contact the Holy Land in Japan, In Japan there is a network of churches all across the country. It is my understanding that the next huge network is in Brazil . Pertfect LIberty HQ > 2172 -1 Shindo > Tondabayashi, Osaka 584-8651 Japan

The Ottawa PL Church branches out, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver with little communities in between. The PL Church in NY is headed by Rev. T. Goto (Sr. Minister) who was our Sr. Minister here in Ottawa for approx. 13 years. He is now located in Jackson Hts, NY. and can be reached by e-mail or phone. The phone # is (718) 424-8815. The Ottawa phone number is (613) 225-1850, Rev. Eugene (Sr. Minister) and Rev. Tiago are available 7 days a week, to assist you.

New York and Ottawa are in the Eastern Time Zone.. when it is noon here, it is 9 a.m. on the Pacific Coast. Japan is 13 hours ahead of us. Again noon here, would be 1 a.m. the next day in Japan. At the moment the Canadian website is the most current, http://www.perfectliberty.ca any and all contact information given us is confidential. Should you wish to send me information I will forward it to the contact nearest you.

Los Angeles CA USA, phone number is (310) 328-4861 San Francisco,CA USA (415) 665-3131 Oakland, CA USA (510) 531-5155

Pl Church (Perfect Liberty) has a history that goes back to the First Founder Rev. Tokuharu Miki who was formerly a Buddhist priest,the story begins in 1912, when Rev Miki met Rev. Tokumitsu Kanada. Our history is fascinating one and one we will look forward to sharing with you. The Second Founder was Rev. Tokuchika Miki, who passed away Feb. 2. 1983. Our current ( Third ) Founder is Rev Takahito Miki

The PL 21 Precepts are the basis of the PL Teachings. They reveal the true path of life for all humankind. Beginning with PRECEPT #1 Life is Art” – It is these precepts that I write about and live in my life on a daily basis. For me PL is a way of life. Not just a philosophy or teaching. Like the TAO it transcends all earthly definition. I invite you to join me in my travels in life for we are connected by the ONE and only divine energy of Universal Oneness -God/Tao The flames spell out LIFE IS ART

shaking off negatives

Video

This is my fantasy – that like a dog, I could just shake off all the negatives, worries and distractions with one good body shake.
Oh, it would feel soooo good.
Let everything fly out and away from me…
Then start fresh… not everything will cut loose, but everything
will displace and what settles back down can be viewed with
a new perspective.

Hey, we all have our dreams, ideas and creative hiccups. When I watch our dogs come out of the water and give themselves a good shake, it always looks like it such a feel good thing to do. I thought of doing a head stand, seeing if that would dislodge and toss some of my gray matter around, but I wasn’t successful at getting into that position, never mind staying in it long enough to enjoy the moment.

I am an artist who loves to day dream and consider possibilities. I can get very excited finding the strangest things along the roadway or down a long forgotten trail or path. I grew up at a time where it was encouraged that we give our imaginations full range. Given a pencil and paper with a box full of jumbled thread, discarded what nots and old catalogues, WOW I’d be lost in my own world for hours.

Today you go into a store and there is sticker, cut out or stamp for almost everything. How hand made or scrap cards today? Ok not the time to go into my tirade on now vs. the good “old” days. The dog shaking off the water that has bogged him/her down makes me smile. The fur/hair needs to be wrung out, simple, shake and shake again. It’s done. AND its off we go to play again.

Nature is wonderful isn’t it. Simplicity is soooo Positive.

Where’s my dog I want a cuddle.. Hugs everyone….
