Once you do so, things will begin to happen.
Once you decide “I’m going to do it!” Do it you will. Your
enthusiasm and strength of conviction will ignite the energy around you. Your sincerity will be felt, God will give you aid when you need it the most…
Learning is a life long process….
Now get out there and share your smile with the world.
May your day be blessed with radiant rays of Happiness!

God’s order is at work in all my relationships. I am a peacemaker who honors the diversity of all life. Attuned to divine order, I notice evidence of a divine plan unfolding in my connections with others. Even with those I meet only briefly. It would seem that life could be much more peaceful if everyone thought and acted alike. Yet in my heart, I know that harmony does not require sameness. a single note played simultaneously through several different instruments doesn’t take advantage of the beautiful music that emerges when different chords and notes are played.
To honor the diversity of all life, I trust in the divine order to lead me, help me build and connect with others in a network of sharing and support.
“From the state of mind of being one with God, Oshieoya-sama teaches us the path of happiness, how to progress and elevate ourselves, and find true freedom in our lives, based on the truth of “life is Art” He gives us individualized teachings through “Mioshie” to show us our own unique paths.” Church of PL
The light of the soul is bright, dense clouds of human ignorance/doubts obscure it. Where are you in terms of effort to make life brighter?
Have a grand day everyone… open your hearts and minds to new possibilities, smile, every minute you are angry or sad, is 60 seconds of missed happiness.

If you are fixated on what you don’t have.(ie. language, or understanding of what the characters say) you will not be blessed with wisdom, or an opportunity to solve your problem(s). In PL we say, Think creatively to get past any obstacles in your way.
Every moment that you are with your problem(s) you are not with Tao. The best you can do is remember that your stress is not absolute reality. (Tao,Deng Ming-Dao)
Greet everyone with a smile!
The basic building block of human relationships is greeting one another.
Be the first to greet others cheerfully. (PL teaching)
May your day be blessed with the making of good memories.

I once was wild about working with gourds. I built or created a bird house with one. It hung from a tree in the back garden. with time and weather it fell and the neck broke off. For some reason I was loath to just throw it away. The main body was rehung, but I kept the neck saving it till I could get back to it. I know that each and every other artist out there has done this in some way, the part of a song that you just can’t finish or get that special riff for. I moved this broken piece of gourd from one place in my work space to another.
Finally this past spring, it was just what I needed to try a new product with.
Once I had made up my mind, things just began to happen.
I can turn it in different directions, and each side gives me a different “story” “view”.. I had no idea what it was, or what to do with it. but.. the finished product made me smile and made me happy. It was a visual tactile expression I needed to express at that time! No more no less.
There is a teaching in PL. Once you make up your mind, things will happen. Once you decide you are going to do something, your enthusiasm and focus (mindfulness) will bring forth results. God/Universe will give you aid when you need it most.
Living life as Art, means, go with the flow, create and express yourself, the challenges in life are there to allow us to grow and stretch our talents. God/TAO is everywhere, and in all things. Always. Strive to live in Perfect Liberty (PL)
When something suddenly clicks or when a great idea suddenly pops into your head, it is actually not something you have control over. Understand that this is wisdom given to you by God. (PL Teaching)
In meditation, we gain direct awareness that is beyond the image. (Tao)
You can’t ever get everything you want. It is impossible. Luckily, there is another option: You can learn to control your mind, to step outside of this
endless cycle of desire and aversion. You can learn not to want what you want, to recognize desires but not be controlled by them.

The PL Thanksgiving ceremony was wonderful today, the BBQ that followed was delicious. The steaks tender,tender, and the salads a perfect “balance” for the diet conscious. I was told the recipes originated in Brazil (Portuguese), the more I get to experience their cuisine, the more enchanted I become.
Shared community and good food. what a nice way to end the week-end. (yes, I did my best to not over indulge =^_^=)
Blessings everyone… May your dreams (night journey) inspire you to great expressions tomorrow. Life is Art! (PL)
When you are living in-Spirit, you can feel inspired by doing virtually anything – (Dr.Wayne W. Dyer)
PL teaching for day #20
> Have a Good Balance Between Mind and Body…………..Being overly concerned ab out things, or overexerting yourself physically will cause you to be off balance mentally and physically. Be careful not to overdo things.
I read an article today by Geri Larkin, founder of the Still Point Zen Buddhist Temple in Detroit, Fashionista as Monk. It was in the March/April 2012 issue of Spirituality & Health, if you can find it, it is a good read. Probably more for the women then the men, however, it applies to both if you’ve ever shopped and found that you are one size larger than you thought you should be. After reading her fun thought provoking piece, I know that I will be more mindful of not what I eat, but of how much I eat. I’m already a conscientious eater, my problem is quantity. Today’s lesson today will be applied to my eating habits.
This teaching comes up every month on the 20th. And every month, it has a different meaning for me. Time to remember and put into practice, PL Principle 13. Concerning food, I will not have complaints, likes and dislikes nor preferences; nor will I overeat, over drink nor eat irregularly.
PL Principle # 15 I will not do anything overly.
A balanced life, takes into account, all our needs. Lets take a moment to reflect on how balanced our personal scales are. For myself, I will work harder towards achieving balance
What started out this lovely coastal blue with white contrast , turned a dull unbecoming drab blue when I photographed it. Will have another go with the camera later, here it is after some” photo shop”. Purple is a spiritual colour, so I’m happy with the digital changes till next time I get to play =^_^=
PL teaching – Challenge yourself, when you encounter a new situation, something unexpected, be creative.
Medium – acryrlic paint and a product called Kroma crackle

Dealing with the unexpected is what keeps life interesting!
I’m still having a great day, are you? sure hope so. =^_^=
Almost through another work week, Whether its to the beach,or to the office, have some fun time today. Do a little Be Bop, sing some ” Run around Sue”, even “Shuffle off to Buffalo”, bellow out some “YMCA”, or hey better still, share a giggle with a friend. Guys, the morning cuppa will be full of cheers… I’m off to morning prayers to wrap you all in a warm loving hug before I head to the gym.
BLESSINGS everyone!
