Letting Go of 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

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.

What colour are you today?

What colour is your world today? Have you ever been asked that before. It was a popular question back in the days when I was still working at the hospital. In Psychology colour testing, and rating was the newest topic of discussion. In the world of Fashion, the colours you liked to wear, or leaned to, gave expression to.. are you fall? spring> winter? each season of course had a rainbow of colours that went with them.

Colour symbolism is one of the most universal of types of symbolism and has been consciously used in the liturgy in heraldry, alchemy, art and literature. If you were to make yourself a “talisman” today, what colour would it be? I remember giving an art class one day where the participants decided it would be fun to do a good luck talisman as their challenge of that day, Their first choice was what the object would be, and the second was what colours they wanted to use.

Personally over the years, I have gravitated to “earth” tones, but suddenly I would take a nose dive into the brighter gemstone colours, for some reason, though I love these bright cheerful colours, I prefer to wear more subtle and darker colours. With the aging process, that has fluctuated but only in small degrees. I fell in love with a pair of a capris that were a beautiful jewel tone of amethyst, fit like a dream and are super comfortable. I’ve worn them maybe once, but I won’t pass them on, my hand will linger on them when dressing, but when push comes to shove, the familiar, stand by me, faded jeans, or worn gray win out.
In life, situations and people drift in and out of our daily waking lives, often much like the colour palette we all seem to have in one form or another in our lives, and how we interact, or “see” these “visitors” actually colours are days/nights.

**note to readers ** a glimpse behind the scenes the software of this website, just dropped the last 15 minutes of my visit with you…. I saw shades of black, then red…. sigh.. now I’m back to a neutral zone, since I feel reconnected. computers, what to do with them.. rhetorical question of course. *** end of insert

Here we go. I’ve added some colour, Ahhh… that’s better.. lighter, pastel, muted… still colour. this is what life is all about isn’t it. We chose what colour to present ourselves with when we dress, and we “chose” how to respond to situations in our lives. Some get passionate responses, bright vivid colours… other times, we are accepting, life flows along, when a bump or detour happens, we can be colorful or very dark, depending on the situation. When we hurt, colours don’t harmonize, they clash. If we get sick, we can look completely washed out.

Lets start our colour palette with a smile…. that always works…. Be Happy today and always. Let’s create a rainbow day!

Intuition & Appreciation

Over the many years of my existence I’ve learned to follow my intuition, if a thought pops up into my head, I do my best to act on it. Usually I discover, that there was a reason for my actions.
I had planned today to be out with a friend, however, it didn’t happen, so I found myself with “free” time. We have been away for several days, days that were busy, fun and full of activity. Ah HA! time to regroup and just chill.
Having decided that was what I was going to do and feeling very content with that decision, I was rather surprised to hear myself suggest to hubby that I go along with him to the extreme west end of the city.
Believe me when I offered to tag along, I had not idea why I wanted to get back in the car to drive and shop some more, There are two shops in that end of town that I have gift certificates for, but I was not pumped to shop. My attitude was one of “I’ll just explore”
At the first shop, I found the perfect gift for friends that I will be seeing in a couple of weeks. Wow, I thought, this is great, must be why I wanted to be here. The next shop just blew me out of the water. The bookshelves were full of books on one of my favourite topics. Philosophy and Theology. My head was spinning as I tried to select only a few of the books and not gather them all and dump them in my basket. I found two wonderful dictionaries, Pocket Oxford Chinese dictionary, so new I could still smell the pages, it will go with my Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese dictionary, and the Oxford School French Dictionary, both mint.
ahhh heaven!
Oh, and a brand new copy of The Tao of Willie (A guide to Happiness in your heart, by Willie Nelson). There are many more, but I will share them with you over time, this is a blog after all and not a novel.
Since I’m recently back from Japan, I may start with Religion and Social Crisis in Japan (Understanding Japanese Society through the Aum Affair).. hmmm not light reading. BUT, I allowed my intuition to guide me in my choices. When I look at the variety in my choices I’m happy happy happy..

When you pray on a regular basis,you become more and more comfortable with you “intuition”, in prayer we learn to realize that as humans we do not live solely by our own power, We “are” thanks to the “grace of God”

For this I give thanks, and have a true appreciation for things as they are. I accept what comes my way, with ‘age” I am learning that accepting isn’t always a walk in the park.. and if I don’t know at the time, I will eventually know, what the Universe has intended for me.

When you let go and listen to your intuition -you will be blessed, treasure the fleeting “connection with a higher power”, your inner smile deepens to and fills you with Joy. multiple BLESSINGS are being sent your way filled with love and appreciation,

Friday 13th Everybody! Hurrah!!

Friday the 13th Everybody! Hurrah!!

This little guy is getting ready to go to the church with me to set up for tomorrow’s Garage Sale. Been sorting and pricing for days, jewelry,crafts,scrapbook supplies, the stuff still left to take in. There is more at the church that I will be getting at later today. We have a crew coming in later in the day to help.
Tomorrow, bright and early we will be ready for you. Come share the fun with us.
A big thank you, to those of you who are so kind to write and/or give likes, I love hearing from you.
Yes I do have a Pinterest page- check Dymoon Canaille,

NOW.. tell me about you, how are you doing today?
Do you have a full day ahead of you, or in a different time zone, How has your day been so far?

In PL we believe GOD resides in your prayerful mind. When we make a heartfelt and continuous effort, The Universe responds to our Makoto (sincerity).

Have you ever read any of the works of Wayne W. Dyer?
He wrote “ While God represents the one power and does not recognize any other power, your mind is something quiet different. Your mind has both the power of evil and the power of good. As long as you use this power for the purpose of creating harmony in yourself and others you are consistent with the one Power of spirit. Spirit is the one unifying force in the Universe”

No effort is ever wasted. No matter how small your efforts, your Makoto will always be rewarded.

Smile dearest reader,really I ask you right this moment to smile with me, aaaahhhh a smile feels so good. A nice wide smile, eyes closed. YES it just feels soooo darn good! Your inner smile is ALWAYS with you. Use it.

Feel the love and joy being sent to you today. God/TAO resides in your prayerful Mind.
Now and Always. amen

Good Morning everyone

A post I follow sent this quote out, it was the first mail I opened up this morning. I thought I would share it with you.

In PL, we try to always look at things that appear before us, or pop up and go !!:surprise!!, when we least expect it, with an “I can do it” attitude. Granted it isn’t always easy, but if we approach the challenge with an “artistic eye” and conviction. We accomplish our goal.

Happy, prosperous day everyone! a gentle hug for those of you who hurt and are being challenged today, Remember, the spirit of Love is ever lasting, close your eyes take a deep breath, and feel the love we send out to you in our prayers EVERY DAY! B L E S S I N G S

Enthusiasm Can lead to Opportunities

Chances don’t just fall into our laps. They come to us when we are putting our full effort into something.
From the moment you decide to do something. things begin to happen.

Accept life, that it might move through you with grace.

Our identities can become our prisons.

PL> We are all born into this world with one of a kind personality and Makoto (individuality and a unique character) given to us by God. In order to express yourself fully, it is important for you to live each moment of your life expressing your true self with Makoto. <

Feel the love of God wrap gently around you, know you are loved, always…

Blessings

quinta-ferian todo mundo- Thursday hola!

Now this was exciting. I’ve been to fireworks before, we are lucky that here in Canada’s capital area there is a big casino that hosts International firework competitions every summer. Countries come from all over the world to compete, the shows are mind boggling.

However dear readers, this humble picture taken with my smart phone was one of many I took trying to capture the thrill and excitement of being right under the captivating spell of a dazzling display of fireworks (in Japan) that lasted about 45 minutes. One magnificent show of colour and artistry after another. You really had to be there. (I have been promised pictures from other members who had cameras, video cams etc. I’ll share when they arrive)

That is pretty much what life is like isn’t it. We can be spectators to what is going on around us, or we can be participants. Pl encourages us to Challenge everything with enthusiasm
Get in there… be the star of your own moment….
You will be rewarded with joy and new encounters that will give long lasting happy memories.

Oh Boy! It’s Thursday.. wow where has the week gone..
Isn’t life a blast. (am I dating myself again!) =^_^=

Double blessings.. why, because you deserve it.. life is good and you are part of it. I hold you all so dear in my heart.
