I awoke and still you were gone
no more we, just me
there are days when the fog is so dense
so enveloping, I remind myself you are at rest
then do what I can, to do my best – Q
Live each day filled with hope, Even in those situations when you feel trapped with no way out, face every challenge with purpose and enthusiasm and you will always find a way.

Today’s lesson… (PL Calendar) 9 – Your surroundings are a reflection of You.
Oyashikiri
Each section represents a challenge or opportunity. Is there a storyline here, for me there is. What about you…
As another year draws to an end, a new one is waiting in the wings. The above will still be there, waiting to be found. Every day, something new is added to our personal collage. Some noticed, some not. Never-the-less, seen or not, they become part of the puzzle that is “life”
Pictures do tell a story..
PL Precept #1 Life IS Art
Faith and Prayer
I was so overcome with emotion when I saw all your comments and encouragement on FB about our recent loss (Canaille) and my husband’s cancer. We know we are facing a long road ahead, the treatment will be aggressive.
Your thoughtful words of encouragement, and empathy for our situation, is so heart warming.
Each day is a new beginning, tomorrow we hope for word on just what the team of doctors have laid out as a game plan.
I feel so blessed to have shared time on this planet with each and everyone on of you. You are part of my happiness and joy.
Knowing and feeling the healing energy that is being sent our way, is a balm…
I pray that the Universe will embrace each of you with heaven-sent blessings.

PL Precept 11 Always be with God
# 11
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
PL Precept #7 Everything exists in Relativity
discover the true meaning of life
only then will you find true happiness
PL Precept # 16 All thing Progress and Develop
The only constant in life is Change….
Namaste – Oyashikiri
near Wakefield, Quebec by Q
An obstacle in life can come at us in many shapes, sizes and ways, it is how we deal with them that either stabilizes are stress levels or drives them around a bend.
A natural disaster, well…. there really isn’t much to be done, but find another way to reach our goal or destination. We grow in life by experiencing and creatively dealing with the situations that come our way. If we see the challenge as an opportunity we are more apt to enjoy the day no matter how we proceed.
May you be granted wisdom for your decisions,
hope for discouraging experiences,
your energy replenished during your tired times,
and renewed vision during down moments.
Always and Forever
Namaste – Oyashikiri

As we travel the roads of life, and encounter the challenges that come our way, it is important that we maintain a spiritual balance. Our “spirit” includes emotions, energy, hope, courage, , it embraces our individual choices regarding ethics, morals, values and integrity. How you live your life, what you take from and give to life is an integral part of your spirit.
Let us choose to put our whole heart into whatever we do. Let us practice being mindful towards achieving a better balance in our daily living. Keep prayer a daily practice, stay connected.
You are always in my prayers, now tomorrow and always… Oyashikiri
A friend sent me this picture and I returned the smile from ear to ear. Smiling is contagious.
First i would like to give you some information re. Autism that I have for those of you who venture into SL.
If you key in the world autism in the search window, you will be given a number of choices.
Autism Society of American and GBFA Commumity Center and Mall is a favourite.
Autism Support
Autism Society
Second Life Autism Network
The list goes on. I apologize that sometimes I take for granted the wealth of information and places to visit in SL.
Where I personally do not deal with autism in my life, I have friends that do. I’ve learned that where a child/individual who has difficulties in daily interactions in RL, shines and demonstrates amazing creativity with the tools SL offers.
To the other question about the various churches in SL, there are far too many to list. Again, once in SL, use the search window, type in the church, philosophy, teachings you are looking for and you will be directed to the various destinations.
For example, you can attend Buddhist Dharma teachings at the Buddha Center. This can be a busy place, they have traffic in the 1000s from all over the world at any given time.
Please dress accordingly.
Today I was visiting the Buddhist Temple in Aosagi, Japan. This sim is themed as a region of Japan in the Edo period (1603-1868 AD). It is designed to support a number of cultural, educational and roleplay groups for the benefit of all. The owning group is Kurogawa Cho. a wonderful way to revisit history and learn about how life was in the late 17th century.
This region is set in sengoku period of the late 17th century of feudal Japan.
Please remember that SL is International, often you will encounter people who are from a different country and culture, some do not speak English, on this sim (community) the main language is Japanese.
Wherever you go, who ever you visit with, remember today’s teaching (PL teaching) People Grow by Being Praised and Applauded by Others.
When people recognize your accomplishments and celebrate with you. What happens?, we become more enthusiastic ourselves and want to do better.
Success is achieved by working in Harmony with others.
Applaud someone in your circle today, SMILE, the world is ours when we SMILE and live the PL Way.
Blessings all…. arms open wide to embrace you, my heart is singing ” I L O V E Y O U” love is in the air, reach out and grab your share.
Ari thank you for the wonderful picture!
We are lucky where we live, during the summer, there are always fresh produce stalls in the outdoor markets. However, even better is when we drive a little out of the city and get the produce directly from the farmer. That is what we did yesterday. I was a tad restless, my son’s heart surgery was postponed till today. I wanted a distraction and it was a lovely day for a drive to the St Lawrence. (a major waterway that borders Canada and the United States) We packed the two dogs into the car and off we went, the best part of the drive for the dogs is that there is a wonderful dog park in Morrisburg, well maintained and gated. On our way back we stopped at one of my favourite farms for fresh corn, this farm always has the sweet golden nuggets, they do have the peaches and cream too, but I like the succulent gold. The plums called out to me and of course I munched on fresh plums on the way home. At just the right time of the year, the flesh of the plum is delicate and sweet, even the skin is nice.
Diet is such an important factor in our well being, yet we forget at times that there is a difference between fresh from the farm, and store bought. I confess that even for me, it is hard to always get fresh and consume it while it is still in that very fresh stage. I bought yellow wax beans and green beans, when I prepared them for supper, they were so fresh, they snapped clean when being prepared. The smell or fragrance if you will of the vegetables was alive ..unlike a packaged vegetable that lacks any smell when you take it from the sanitized packaging. The corn was “out of this world” I do mine in the microwave, it is steamed in its own sleeves. this way, when it is peeled, it is ready to eat, no salt, no butter, just the yellow meat of the kernel. Delicious.
Having tasted one of the best veggie dinners I’ve had in a long time, I then found myself thinking of preparing a stew for my meat and potatoes hubby. Using the fresh ingredients, I would start from scratch. So today I went to the butchers to find stewing beef. There was none on hand, so had to settle for a piece of steak that needed to be tenderized. The anticipation of cutting up the meat, and preparing the vegetables was wonderful. I bought turnip, parsnip, yellow flesh potatoes, and I knew I had red onion, and fresh garlic at home. Usually we are so busy, that dinners can be something quick and easy. It was nice to chop and prepare, then get things going on the stove. The aroma that filled the kitchen was familiar and relaxing. Since I was in a cooking mood, I put a pot of water on and started a pork stock with garlic and ginger (used for making different Chinese soups).. yes I had purchased pork bones to do this while I was out. It is like a ripple in the water, the fresh produce from the farm started a need for my creativity to explore and satisfy my taste buds. My son loves to cook and has done several cooking videos on a number of dishes he likes.
I want to thank the many of you who are praying for him today, it means a lot to us. A love for cooking and good food is something that we share. Brigitte his wonderful partner in life told me he went into surgery at 7:30 this morning feeling and looking very relaxed. Food nourishes the body, love and prayer nourish the soul. My son and I are marinating right now in God’s embrace.
Blessings everyone.
