How do you see the world

Valentine 2.3.14_007

Do you wake up and view the world around you in a positive light?    Are you a half full, or half empty (glass) person?  Or do you tend to see the world through a cloud, or haze that never seems to go away?

Valentine 2.3.14_008

There is beauty in all times of the day or night, and if you are in a mood to find it, there is also gloom and loneliness even doom.  When we give ourselves to God (higher power/TAO) we are blessed with a divine inner strength that helps ground us and travel with us through the many challenges we face in life.  Before we can even begin to find happiness with someone else, or in the world, we have to begin with liking ourSELVES.  To take responsibility for who we are and what we do.

Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others.  We have all heard the expression, “no man is an island” its been around for years, and it has stayed around, because over and over it is a lesson we need to be reminded of.

All meaning in life is arbitrary.  It is not tied to god, family or self unless we define it as such.  Nothing in life gives us meaning in and of itself.  It is we who assign meaning to objects and relationships.

That said, Wake up World!  It is Tuesday, have a happy happy day!   Blessings.. Oyashikiri

Good Monday Morning Everyone

Feb.2._001

 

There is a great sense of joy when we are able to express our true selves.   Our environment and the things that happen all around us, are all materials for self expression.  In PL we are taught that with God’s blessing, we will be able to freely express ourselves using these materials.  When  I found this little church tucked away between   a wooded area and the sea, the artist’s build brought a genuine smile and joy to me.  If you are virtual traveler this is the link to ! The Sanctuary ” Our Lady Lourdes of Lourdes”,   the url is  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Excellens/189/209/67

Always  focus on your true feelings and express yourself honestly.  It was in following where my footsteps led that I found this little sanctuary

By leading  a cheerful, joyful and beautiful life, you will learn to work for the happiness of orders as well as yourself.    PL Precept #21   LIFE IS ART

World Peace

!cid_16_1770918552@web160903_mail_bf1_yahoo

 

World peace starts with peace at home… Our world is overflowing with problems.  When we pray, let’s pray for not only family and friends, but for the happiness and peace of the entire world.  the joy of expressing kindness to others is much greater than when someone does something kind for you. When we can be genuinely happy for someone else, our lives will be blessed and we will experience a deeper sense of happiness.  Love is beautiful, it is pure, and when we share our love beyond our own borders, it flows out to the entire world.  Amen!    Oyashikiri

Surrender opens doors

7.5. Eluzion_006

 

Part of healing is being vulnerable.  It is through life’s lessons that we learn, our imperfections are exposed.  In sharing it is not so other’s can fix us or rescue us, but so we can love and accept ourselves.  Sharing is a catalyst in healing and change.  Our value and worth is not determined by how hard we struggle.  Learn to let things happen easily and naturally.  Allow the “Universe” to ease us into where we need to be.  Be open to the circumstances in your life. The love and light of God/Tao surrounds us.

bear hugs

 

Put sincerity into everything you do.

My thank you to each and everyone of you for sharing this part of my life with me.

It is our hardships that build stregth

It is our hardships that build stregth

When we have to struggle and work for something, our appreciation is long lasting. Lessons learned through repeated mistakes, trial and error, give us genuine strength.
Learning is a life long process

Now – this very moment

Good Morning everyone!! Welcome to a brand new day!

Burnout and beyond

inspirational-quotes-inspiring-sayings-sugar-ray-robinson

 

Let love in. many of us, get so caught up in work, and life that we forget how important love is in our lives.  We forget the little things, we loose touch with a part of our inner selves.  We stop listening to our bodies, we don’t eat properly, or we fixate on how and what we eat, we are always looking out at the world, directing our attention to activities that take us “away” from our selves, and often those closest to us.  Then one day we wake up feeling dispirited and exhausted and wonder what happened.  We didn’t even see it coming.

How often have we heard the cliché/expression – Stop and Smell the Roses…  sometimes ill-health or something tragic has to happen before we stop to face our “demons”.  Let us take steps to avoid a burnout, or if you are in one, let’s take the step that moves us beyond the moment into a  “new day” and into a new exhilerating adventure.  Value those who are near to you, and most of all, value yourSELF.  Recognize the person you are, if you are having trouble with that and you belong to a church, speak with your minister, in  PL our ministers are trained and always available 24/7 to help

Through consultation given by PL ministers you receive personal guidance tailored to your individual character and situation, We each one of us has our own unique personality and lifestyle, happiness is built by establishing wishes and goals, and then working towards achieving them in our daily lives.

Be open to the impossible!  It is hard to think outside the box when we are stuck inside the box.. be  “aware” new doors are always opening in front of us.

Have a great day everyone, the sun is shining here and it is COLD -28 or some silly number like that.  But sharing with you, always wraps me in sunshine.    Oyashikiri

Changes

imagesIt isn’t always easy to accept changes in our lives – Yet the world around us is constantly changing.  Take on the challenging and new experiences as materials for self expression.

2013-10-25 oct.28 008

 

Your path will open up if you accept, and let go.  The garden statue sits through the seasons, enduring  and patient.  As he/she weathers and ages, his/her newness disappears and is replaced by a mantle of character that is all his/her own.

Our lives are a  tapestry woven of both mistakes and successes.  -(Tao)

To be fully human is to know resignation.   (Ta0)

 

Let there be love on Earth

!cid_4_1770918552@web160903_mail_bf1_yahoo

 

Let there be love on earth and let it begin with me  – Let there be love on earth, the love that was meant to be

With God ever present, family all are we – Let us walk with each other in perfect harmony..

Let Love begin with me, let this be the moment now = With every breath I take, let this be my joyous vow

To take each moment and live each moment in love eternally – Let there be love on earth and let it begin with me!

Song from the Unity Church    www.unity.org 

 

Dreams -astral journeys

Q 1.11.14_004

Have you ever felt the draw to return to  your dream. You wake up and feel that where you’ve been, and what you’ve seen was so so very much a part of who you are.  Have you heard of  “astral projection”?  At one time, there was a lot of talk, discussion and study on the ability of the spiritual form to travel across space and explore other dimensions, and even visit family and friends.

I don’t hear a lot about that these days, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.  Maybe it is because I feel that my night time travels are an extension of my days or “awake” time.  I think it helped that my Mother always shared her dream experiences with me, so it wasn’t out of the ordinary.  Just matter of fact.  Like the TAO/God being a constant factor, it wasn’t a relationship I needed to find, it was part of my daily life, life breathing. Respect for nature and all mankind was natural because it was an extension of who I was.  Life is my studio, and I am the artist.

Dreams are part of my inventory, and astral journeys are part of my research.  Life is good, life is full, and most of all, life is love.

When you live with love in your heart, you enjoy the full spectrum of life.  Jai Guru Dev (TM)  Oyashikiri (PL)  Amen =^_^=
