PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential

In this case, my sister lovingly sought out and found this material and presented it to me. I loved it.. I wanted it to be something that would be used, and appreciated every day. I don’t get to see my sister every day, she lives in California, but I appreciate her every day. This pillow graces our bed, so every day, she is part of my daily life. A sister is a precious gift, I am lucky and have two =^_^=

PL Precept # 7 Everything Exists in Relativity

In PL we have a Thanksgiving service every month on the 21st. It is the most important service of the month, held at 7 pm. Members humbly express appreciation to God for all the blessings of the past month, and sincerely renew our determination to follow and practice the PL “Way”

Our 2017 Perfect Liberty Calendars are here and ready for those interested in obtaining one or having them for gifts to friends and family for the coming year. They are available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and of course Japanese. A reminder if you need them mailed to you, there would be a cost for the shipping.

YOU are a blessing in my life

naughty or nice

Have you been naughty, have you been nice, hear that a lot around this time of year. It is all about perspective isn’t it. When someone is being naughty in someone’s view, he/she could be being very nice and totally appreciated by someone else. Perspective.

We are all so different, so unique in our own ways. That is a gift from above. The ability to be different, so that each and every one of us is blessed in an ability to enjoy and appreciate the creative expressions of others.

The Red Blacks (Canadian Football League) brought the cup home to Ottawa yesterday, they won the Grey Cup.. It is a very big deal to football fans, a huge BIG deal. Congratulations to all you die-hard fans out there.. what an exhilarating over time period it had to have been.

For anyone wanting to view these dragons a their installation, this is the LM (landmark) http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Amra/17/238/22 the show is called, Alpha Auer: from here on there be dragons. when you arrive there is a note card explaining this wonderful exhibit. Yes it is in the virtual world, http://www.secondlife.com

I won’t spoil it for you, by sharing with you, the creator’s intro .. the curator and owner of the Split Screen Installation Space, is long time SL member Dividni Shostakovich

Thought I’d add a bit of warm and fuzzy. Have a super fantastic start to your week-end. Bring “happy” where ever you go.

Stir Fry Saturday

46b09b9ce3f80e5df91778e116cec8ff

Yup.. shopping for supplies I will need for my February, and spring cards. Time to think ahead. On my list of places to go was a big art supply store in a major shopping mall. I did not get there early, so…………. I was there at a time when the parking lot was wall to wall vehicles and shoppers were in possibly every walking space in the halls between the stores.

This is only November. Imagine in the States where they still have Thanksgiving to go, before they are hit with the Xmas shopping frenzy. All around me I heard people talking about their lists, and how far they had gotten, and what was left to look for.

Penguins are big this year. I know the above is a Puffin, he’s a cutie, thought I’d give him some “press” =^_^= So many of the clothing stores, had some kind of sweater with a penguin on it. You will get to see a lot of them if you are out looking around. The other thing being marketed is the Ugly Sweater… These are new .. is the whole idea of the “ugly sweater” not to come up with a vintage one from days gone by??? Anybody?

Just so you know, this is what is coming, or so we are being told. In preparation for such an event, I have begun to stock up, for days of “nesting” Which brings me back to my card making. =^_^= How well are you prepared for the next couple of months. If you are in a climate with 4 seasons, and winter is ahead, do you have your snow tires yet? Are they on the car/truck?

While I made my way from one shopping location to another, via the highways, (stayed away from the downtown area, Santa was having his parade today) I mumbled to myself that it was time, I took week-ends off from going out and about. from now on, it will only get busier.

PL Precept # 17 Grasp what is most Essential

PL Precept # 19 Begin Once you Perceive

I got a lot done, and best of all, I had a lot of time when waiting at lights, and traffic slow downs to think about how much I will enjoy my extra hours of “nesting” once my chores are done.

Thursday Doors 11.17th

BerryHolm Poultry Farm started out as a small local business, and grew into one of Eastern Ontario’s top Independent egg producers, when at the time, young David Berry bought the business from his father, and renamed it Berry’s Egg Farm.

The man, David Berry passed away (90) in 2010, he was known for his kind heart, being gentle, loving and patient, It is said that he had the gift of making anyone he met feel valued. His legacy of strong values and principles were the core values he undertook in all he did throughout his life.

When I read his obit, I thought, what a wonderful man I would have liked to have met him. As a writer, we get to write and say a lot about the world around us. We meet a lot of people along the way and some we don’t actually meet, but their lives cross ours in a different way. Mr. Berry’s world crossed mine when I was drawn to the above building, and was drawn to capture it with my lens.

“His wit and humour endeared him to all who met him” Ottawa Citizen, April 19,2010

How will you be remembered? I tell myself, I will be gone, I won’t know, so does it matter?

Will I be like the building, left standing, my past speaking volumes, while “I” (ego) am silent.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

Greetings to you on this lovely sunny day. The weather has turned a little cooler than it was last week, but I love the hint of zest, that little tang or crispness that has filtered in pinging our hardwood trees with a flirtatious kiss that starts the leaves blushing and in some case, turning crimson red.

Driving down the highway towards Orleans (Ontario) I was totally smitten by the wide sweeping colours that waved to me as I passed by. The sun was beaming down and all around me… there was pure happiness in the air.

The flowers here are Oli’s from Australia, they too are enjoying this time of year. No matter where we are on this planet.. what is that old expression… it is always after 5 pm somewhere, if not where we are. The sun works its magic wherever it is.

So do we….. PL Precept #8, live as the sun.

Music is a venue that brings friends together. tonight I will celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness at a party, the DJ always plans his events to challenge us in our knowledge of music from the past many years. His eclectic style and library of tunes, means he is “really does ‘ challenge us.. who can name this tune, what date did this come out..etc. (DJ Nick from Michigan) He will be followed by a DJ from Oklahoma (Bluelou McGrady) who with his brand of Blues will have us moving and groovin’ unable to sit still for longer than a minute, no matter our best intentions.

When we share our talents, and give freely of our time to inspire and great good times for others, happiness and friendships blossom and bloom.

The venues for these events, the first one is at Pacifique owned by the lovely Eclair Martinek, and the second event is at a down home southern bar/club Rocking the Blues complete with swamps and alligators owned by Miss Kira Wyldfire, please note, all names have been changed to protect the innocent. =^_^=

These ladies practice living their lives, walking the path of true friendships and welcoming hearts, this is reflected in the people that work with them and the audiences they attract.

We all come from different backgrounds, worlds, places, our histories are different, our lifestyles could be miles apart, but what we all have in common, is the desire to be happy, and to live peaceful and joy filled lives. We love our friends, and we cherish those who have stood by our side through thick and thin.

This is Canadian Thanksgiving, the American one is in late November, and the Church of Perfect Liberty, we celebrate Thanksgiving every month, on the 21st. We focus on gratitude, appreciation and give thanks, for all that we are, and will be and for those we love and appreciate, past and present.

PL Precept # 10 Love yourself and Others

PL Precept #20 Live Maintaining Equilibrium between mind and matter

Love is forever, it really is…

Share a smile today…

10,7 > appreciation

Isn’t this beautiful. A picture of a faded bloom from Australia, a very dear and talented friend down under sent me flowers the other night. This was one of the pictures. With the hours spent sitting in the hospital this past week, I felt that this could be a floral representation of my “bed hair”… Soft wispy and static charged.

Being in a different climate, and location on the globe, the vegetation will be so different, here we are going into the colours of autumn, which for us, are the reds, golds, deep metallic shades of rust and crimsons. Where Mother Nature has yet to focus, there is a soft peachy blush to the greens on the hardwood trees, Even a squeeze of lemon.

Please permit me to take a few moments to say a heart-felt thank you to each and every one of you who share this time with me. I know while I was away recently, this blog gained new readers, with my being away from the office, i saw mail, but could not respond. Thank you. Welcome. I could not be … without you.. I truly do care for each and every one of you. It is a joy and a pleasure to visit with you.

In Canada, this is our Thanksgiving week-end. please travel safe if you are on the roads, eat wisely, =^_^= think, “waste” or “waist”. LOL there is a spoil sport in every group.

Happy Weekend …. may your days be blessed with activities that will bring happy memories for years to come.

Chop suey 9.27.16 -abandoned

There are times when I feel simply overwhelmed by the creativity of others. Thus was the case here, my husband is used to my hollering “stop the car, stop the car” and having to pull over turn around and bring me back to the “whatever” that brought on this outburst. I was totally taken by this building, it was once an antique car lot. The detail, the whimsical character of the architecture. I would have loved to have met the previous owner.

See the tie man!! I loved, loved, loved it. I toured around the building, as much as I could without being an intruder.

The second floor balconies made me itch with curiosity. Wanting a ladder or access to the inside to I could get closer.. I’ll post a shot from the road, so you can see what I first saw.

Like HELLO.. how could I just drive by and not get a closer look. It was on getting closer that I saw all the details, and the charming way the owner had put character into the building.

This is what life is. Think about it. How often do you meet someone, or see someone and think, how interesting, I wonder?? But, we never follow through, we never take that chance .. we are polite, and go about our business. I was blessed that in growing up, I was encouraged to meet and greet the world in a positive light.

Not only in old abandoned buildings and lost,left behind vehicles do I see beauty and wonder. I see it in my fellow-man.

PL Precept #10 Love Yourself and Others

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

There will be more pictures of this house, (Norm’s “Thursday Doors” ) but before I sign off, please let me show you the car that was left behind. It was being textured by Mother Nature, she was looking “some” good…=^_^=

Beauty if in the eye of the beholder, isn’t it ….

For those of you who love “rust detailing” and the different patina that Mother Nature can bestow on metal

this car is showing a lot of promise

so it was, past & present

So it was, there before me, in its majestic glory, the ocean. It was later in the day than we expected to arrive, but here we were. Other cars were parked along the road, people with their camera poised for that perfect picture. For me, it was the moment itself that was perfect. Taking in a deep breath, the rest of the world around me disappeared. In a second one can live and relive a lifetime. No matter how often such moments occur in my life, I am always amazed that such serenity and peace can wash over me, filling me with a gratitude and appreciation that no words can fully express, the blessing is to live that moment to the fullest.

The camera can capture the landscape, and perhaps a “mood”… but that moment of connection to the “Universe” is very personal and unique to each person who was there on that highway, we all experienced our own individual “blessing”

Some of us travel on the water, some of us are grounded on land, but no matter where we are in life, when we experience that intimate connection with the Divine force of Nature, we are captivated, enthralled and in that moment, we are ONE totally engaged in the transcending power of LOVE.

Wordless Wednesday – Byward Market

I would like to say I resisted bringing home some fresh corn………………. however……………….. I cannot tell a lie ……………………….. the caramel corn was too juicy and plump to resist.

FYI. I will be taking a vacation, for a week plus. heading for the ocean. I look forward to seeing you all when I return. The vast expanse of ocean, and the sound of the waves making their way to the shoreline is calling… I know you all understand.

Meanwhile, enjoy your days, take in the night

dream of delights

carry love in your hearts

for you will be in mine

love always.

low mein Monday

I confess, I’m a minion fan. I don’t go seeking them out, but when one lands in my mailbox, I find that for the next lost minutes, I’m following the trail to more. This one, spoke loudly enough that I claimed a copy to share. How many times in a day, does my LAZY mind make itself known.

PL Principle # 14

I will not have a mind to be lazy. I will not have complaints while working,

nor be overly concerned and complain about others.
