A shoe can be a work of art -beautiful to look at – but impossible to wear
Love is a word often spoken, said, but certainly not shared
Lets try today to not necessarily say the word, but to show someone we care.
Actions do speak louder than words. If you can express yourself in words, do that too..
The “art” of Love is a full time, 24/7 passion
PL Principle #3 – I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things
I first heard that term in a book by Melody Beattie, The language of Letting Go. Its been a lesson that I’ve had to work on for most of my adult life.
Being responsible, owning what you do, and the situations you find yourself in.
Learning to face situations head on, learning to focus on the moment. If we do this, and truly believe in our passion, a path will open up. You will find a way to be comfortable with where you are, and what you are feeling. Each moment is a new creation to be savored and experienced fully. Embrace the healing presence of God within us. Quietly and with a new zest for life, we open our minds to rich new ideas. ideas, that help us give of ourselves, our talents and our resources. God is life itself. Through the presence of God within, the old washes away, everything is new again. PL Precept #1 – Life is Art.. every day is a new beginning.
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
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
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 =^_^=

Transformation “a marked change”
Today’s lesson is to realize that we have changed over time, and to take ownership of these changes. “Discover the Joy of Transforming Yourself” Change is ongoing, changes are a continuous factor in our lives, if I’m focused/mindful, would I think that the changes are that remarkable? Hmm something to ponder don’t you think? Certainly I see changes from when I was in a career phase, to how I am enjoying life now. But I loved what I did, I loved the challenges of going in to work every day, certainly I did the grumbling and groaning along some of the paths, but over all it was rewarding to watch projects take shape and reach their goals. Every day was a new beginning and I still practice that today. I grew up believing and living with TAO (Universe/God) and the Taoist philosophy -the only constant in life is change – We are all ONE with the Universe… Transformations are part of life. How are you doing with the changes in your life?
“Count your Blessings” =^_^= The key to change is within ...
May the Universe shine bright for you today & Love fill your world, today, tomorrow and always Oyashikiri
A single flower amid lush greenery – this picture always gives a moment of reflection and feel good feeling. I see the fragile petals against the more rigid leaves of the evergreen. The tinged pink blush along the petals gives the flower a delicate look and though it is a soft velvety smooth petal, the flower itself gives an overall message of strength. “Look at me, I’m here” “Come enjoy me, bend closer smell my fragrance” To the bees and insects it calls out, “join me, share in my life” Nature is a work of art, and it co-exists with the world around it. Why is it, that the human species finds it so difficult to achieve this same “Oneness” with the “Universe”
Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections on how we value others. Healing begins within our “selves” When we feel love and positive energy within, it is an energy that reflects out to the world around us. It is no secret, the energy of healing begins with us. Our willingness to change, may or may not benefit others, but we become healed. We become capable of love. Today I will work on a change of heart. I will let go of negative thoughts and replace them with the healing energy of love
Blessings –Oyashikiri

Are you snug and warm?
Today is going to be very cold…
Is the partying all done? You ready now to hit the slops and exercise?
The turkey has been eaten, the desserts have been happily devoured … now you know its time to decide.
Which road to take. It is a brand new year, let’s set higher goals and work to improve ourselves. The Joy of Expression is in the Process. When each day is a new canvas, goals are much easier to attain.
The flowers of summer bloom forever in our hearts. Love is a constant in our lives, always and forever. Blessings now and always – Oyashikiri
We seem to hear and ask – Where does the time go? ” Time marches on”, yup, if you don’t live each and every moment of your life to the fullest, you find at the end of the year that there are holes in your memory quilt, some of the patches lack colour, and others are simply blank.
We all hope for colour in our lives, and if life was perfect, we would always live in sunshine.
Making a quilt, we search out the material and patterns like a treasure hunter on the hunt for the elusive hidden chest of gold. Most quilters I think will agree with me, it is the hunt, or chase that is the most exciting. Yes when we find our “prize” its nice, but 9 times out of 10, that prize once it goes into our”Stash”, we are off on the next exciting search for that piece that will just pull it all together.
Life overall is just the same. it is one constant adventure after the other. I’ve loved travelling through time with you .. and look forward to our next adventures in 2014. January 1 is a special day in PL, Perfect Liberty, we celebrate with a special ceremony that marks the start of the New Year. In this ceremony we dedicate ourselves to begin anew, living an artistic life according to the teachings of Perfect Liberty.
Oyashikiri – Blessings to you all.
Finding our own happiness…is a lifelong opportunity to live a life of ” Art.”…
We each have our own unique personalities and lifestyles. Therefore,the path and journey is different for each one of us.
PL Precept # 2.. To live is to express One’s Self.
PL Precept #11 Always be with God/Tao
