Some days are better then others.

Some days are better then others.

Some days require more attention to one’s personal needs..
We find ourselves dealing with emotions that are not always wanting expression.  Suddenly they are in your face so there is no escape.
Life is full of accumulations of small moments.  Each moment has full impact, if you are living in the moment.

Does it seem that everyone you meet or interact with just adds to your gloom.  Meet your day, head to head.  Make it your own.  You are the author, the writer,the artist, YOU decide how you want to “play”

Could it be that events and people in your life don’t seem to be “real”  Are you “out of step” or are they in a different “play”

Your life is your own, your very own work of art……. Life is Art. you get to decide if you cut corners, if you do, it is your life you will affect,  you decide  whether you live in shades of gray, or whether your world will be full of colour.  We can’t always control events that happen in our lives, but it is our decision, how we react, and assimilate the energy around us.

It may take some doing, but with determination, quiet meditation, you can find balance in your day.  One must know unhappiness/sadness to appreciate and treasure the happy moments.

I found my creativity in SL yesterday, the virtual world this month is full of haunted places to visit.  By end of day the colour was back … I was relaxed.

Blessings -Today and Always                           MAKE TODAY                                   YOUR DAY!

Greet Everyone with a Smile!

Greet Everyone with a Smile!

The basic building block of human relationships is greeting one another. Be the first to greet others cheerfully. A cheerful outlook can be such a “positive” to those around you.
This “otterly” delightful “Tiny” is Muttley, she never failed to bring smiles to those who shared time with her or in her sphere. I tried to find the picture I have of her with a big smile plastered on her face. Couldn’t, but.. did find this one.

Although I have not seen Muttley for awhile now, I will never forget her because of the personality she shared with me whenever we met. She always made me smile. That is a special quality.

In PL, we believe that a positive outlook, can influence the mood of people around you and keep things upbeat.

“My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment” Oprah Winfrey

Letting Go of Ego

Letting Go of our Ego

PL teaches > if we are always caught up with power,status and appearances, we will find it hard to accomplish anything of worth. We are encouraged to “Let Go” and express ourselves fully.
Gosh, “ego” can be so abstract. Often it isn’t till I am well into the fray that I discover my “ego” has helped land me there.

For fun I looked up “EGO” in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, why not… it is very early in the a.m.  and i want to know what the academic definition is of EGO is, since i seem to have one of my very own.  Here we go. 1> a person’s  sense self esteem or self importance   (2 )psychoanalysis  the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious mind and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity. Compare with ID and Superego 3. philosophy (in metaphysics) a conscious thinking subject.

I just know you feel so much brighter and care free with this little tidbit of information tucked into your gray matter =^_^=….

Personally I think that    an “ego” is a very personal part of our “personality and character.  Certainly there are days when it can be very fragile, and other days when it is simply mulish.  Ego might be something to discuss with Rev. Eugene next time we are sitting down for a “visit”.  Consultations and visits with the ministers is very encouraged in the PL church.  When James H. Rutz (free lance writer) talks about the formality in churches and how the personal sharing and one on one has disappeared from many of the “today” churches, I’m happy to say that this is not the case with the PL Churches,   PL has a unique way of offering “Personal Guidance”

We believe strongly that happiness is built by establishing wishes and goals.  through consultations with a PL minister, you receive personal guidance tailored to your individual character and situation.  You can receive consultations from a PL minister for any kind of problem or situation.  Not only do PL Consultations help you solve problems, but through consultations, you can learn how to express your true self for the sake of society and for the sake of others,  

Our mission in PL is to create  World Peace, we believe we can do this by passing on from one person to another the teachings of PL

Letting Go of Your Ego Will Make You a Stronger Person.  Tall request… nah… put your mind to it and YOU CAN DO IT.

H A P P Y    F R I D A Y     everyone!  Enjoy your day whatever you are doing?  Make every second count !!

Love and blessings…… now and always

Smiles

Smiles

What gives you an instant smile?
What when you see it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy?
Could be lots of things..
One of my “smiles” are sheep/goats..
I’m not alone, I see sheep pictures, curios, soft toys in all the shops.
Sheep, in person, when you visit them on a farm, may look soft and cuddly, but if their coats are full
and they are out in the pasture, its ah… not so inviting to throw your arms around them for a snuggle.. LOL nor will they necessarily let you.

A Felter, I have tried to clean raw fleece.. what a chore that was.  I loved the activity though, the thought that I was doing what pioneer women did, clean, dry, and the  prepare the fleece through the different stages to either felt or knit/crochet with.  I only made it so far, I stumbled and stalled when i got to the spinning wheel phase.  My wheel sits waiting for me to gather the patience to sit and try again.  Still when i look over and see my spinning wheel, I smile.. it reminds me of happy moments when I was knee-deep in organic fibers .. the other project that I will leave to others is the dying of the fleece.  In the living room I have a showcase full to brimming of all the different colours I could find.  My stash is another “smile” in my life.

Smiles come in all shapes and sizes and they originate from a happiness inside.  a person who is always pleasant and cheerful, can spread their joy wherever they go.

Just imagine the thrill and happiness this athlete is experiencing.  A “smile” he /she will remember for an eternity.

Always remember to smile.  Seeing a resident of Raglan Shire (Zoolie), makes me smile.   photo taken by Q    avatar is a Loco Poco kangaroo … You smiling?

Did you know – Sheep people (Chinese Astrology) are thought to be sensitive, talented and extremely creative, elegant and charming.  They get along with almost everyone, they are peace loving, ardent and easygoing.

Oh Yeah! – so what!

Oh Yeah! - so what!

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…..

Thursday another glorious day!

How is your day?  I hope it is super fantastic. In Canada,we are heading into our Canada Day long week-end, lots of festivities planned for visitors coming to the capital.  Heard on the news that astronaut Chris Hatfield will be here performing on the sound stage on Parliament Hill.  He will also have a display of all the Twitter pictures he took while in space. I would imagine that our city will be buzzing all week-end with activities.  Yesterday we saw people going to the Jazz festival site near City Hall.  So many possibilities, so many options. Do you have plans?

Every day is a special day when we start the day with a smile and a positive attitude.

PL  Principles  #12   I will get up pleasantly in the morning.

When we ask someone for help, we do so with sincerity, both in words and actions.  In the same manner, when we pray, it is important to offer our utmost sincerity to God/Tao/Buddha.  In PL, when we pray to Got, we use a unique prayer form.  this can be done either performed sitting or standing.  the PL Prayer form allows you to attain the most ideal state of mind when praying.

Taking the time to perform this simple ritual for me has enhanced my time in prayer/meditation.  It is very personal, it helps me to really slow down and focus “center”.

On Sunday’s we will often take time before the service to do some exercise together.  This gives the body the opportunity to stretch and release any stiffness in the joints, to activate and extend.  Then when the service begins, and we sit down, our body is content to mellow, and our minds are free to absorb and truly focus on the spiritual and divine of the service.

The sanctuary is filled with positive and activated energy.  Ah just thinking of it, I am looking forward to Sunday service…From sharing with you, I now have a big broad smile on my “puss” and I extend a warm and fuzzy happy happy day to all of you.

LOL I feel a bit like the little avatar I can be, skipping happily down a flowered pathway, sprinkling bubbles of happiness and sunshine into the air wanting to bestow on every one around a super fantastic glorious day.  Blessings everyone!

Wandering and Wondering

Wandering and Wondering.  Wow. here I was looking forward to what I had written back in September that I never got around to finishing.  All I had done was the title.  Goes to show, I have been kept busy with one thing or another, and for the life of me, I couldn’t tell you what exactly.  That is what my head space is like thee days. I’m enjoying life.  I’m happy.  Content even.   I flow from one task or activity to the next, living it, and then letting it go.  I have been keeping up with my Long Dash Studio blog, that I do almost every day. http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com .   I’m writing a short article each month for the church (Perfect Liberty) that appears in Tone Magazine. http://www.facebook.com/Tonemagazine or http://www.tone.ca

My various personas are all doing well.  Qyhat Harbour is now a ginger cat, and has an art exhibit on in Raglan Shire, it will be there for two months, April 2013 and May 2013 … AloToi is CEO of LONG DASH STUDIOS, writer,model, photographer, and Xsa Queler is model and writer for the blog. The blog is  now in its 14 month, and we have reached close to 15000 readers, our biggest readership is in USSR, Europe and the UK.  You can find us in Second Life, http://www.secondlife.com

We did wander last year, 9 States and 5 Provinces.  I must have been going to write about the adventure.  we’ve talked of taking off again, but so far, we have not strayed to far from home … Maybe when the nicer weather is here to stay, we will venture out.  Meanwhile, I’m just saying Hi…  and putting this blog to bed.

PL thought for today.

The value of Money and Things Depends on How you Choose to Use them.

Money and things are materials for your self expression.  Use them to their fullest for the sake of others and society.

One man’s junk is another’s treasure

How often have we heard that?  I certainly lucked out the other day, while browsing a thrift shop with a friend, I saw a chair out of the corner of my eye that I really liked. Turned out, the chair was in mint condition, and for some reason, the shop was having a sale on furniture, it was reduced from $45. to $9;99. Now you know I was gonna have to make room.  All the cards fell into place, the car had been recently cleaned out so we could pack for our holiday.  The young man easily got it into the car (after checking that the sale price was right ).. it was.. and we now have a new chair.  So what is the big deal.  WELL…. in life, the idea is to unclutter, simplicity is really the best way to live an uncomplicated life.

I had previously said that anything new coming in, meant something should go /be recycled.  Since the new chair arrived, I have not parted with another piece of furniture.  I did pass along two side tables about a week ago to my niece, does that count? hmmmm somehow I think I should do more.  Last week-end I took about 5 pounds maybe more, of costume jewelry to a “thrift” show for recycling.  does that count?  What a dilemma.  I derive great pleasure looking at this chair.  No! although I find it very comfortable to sit in, VERY much so, it swivels and rocks, and this I don’t like.  I enjoy looking at the chair..

It is like found treasure, only another treasure hunter would understand. any one else out there that shares this “little’ idiosyncrasy?

We are leaving for a short holiday, I will not be in SL (second life) for awhile,  LOL this pictures shows my avatar chilling, you can see she is already in the mode for a vacation.  Now all I have to do is finishing packing, the chair unfortunately can’t come, wonder  if I will still be enthralled with it when I get back?   If you’d like more information on this outfit I’m wearing visit my fashion blog http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com
