Celebration of Life (yaya)

I’ve just come from a memorial for a dear friend, we were so many that many of us had to stand and listen from another room.One friend was there from California, another from Sweden, it is sad in a way that it is the passing of a friend that brings us all together.
Yaya was a loving energy that made everyone she interacted with feel special. IF she could help she would, and always, she was positive and encouraging. She embodied the teachings of PL. She lived them naturally.
Her energy and selfless giving was tireless. No one except her very closest of friends, knew just how sick she was or how often she battled physical discomforts.

RIP YaYa you will be forever in our hearts

In PL we say, artistic expressions are what makes our lives a work of art. YaYa was a work of art to be celebrated!

Good Sunday Morning Everyone!

What a beautiful sunny day, the cherries outside my window are plentiful, brilliant shades of red against the variegated greens of the leaves.
How are you today? Feeling a little tired, rundown, hard to get the old pepperu going…
Come join us for church today, or take yourself out into the sunshine and enjoy a walk in the fresh air under clear blue skies. If it is raining where you are, enjoy the upturned faces of flowers as they bathe in the freshness of the cooling rain.

Life is good. sometimes we have to give ourselves a little boost, but always when one believes, as I know you do….. in prayer and in community, we grow and we thrive. You are loved and never alone. Never!

Blessings everyone!

It’s Interesting Because We all See Things Differently

Everyone has a different point of view. Let’s enjoy and appreciate the personalities and differences we all have. > PL teaching day 9

It’s interesting Because We all See Things Differently.

Meet the door. We have an old wooden door leading into the house, my husband has been talking of changing this door for some time now. About 2 month ago, I was painting a gourd and had left over paint. Inspiration hit and I applied it to the door. There wasn’t all that much, but it left this dark blob of paint on the door. Basically I cleaned my brushes by using the door as a blank canvas, or cleaning pad. My dear husband came in and out numerous times, never said a word. Over the next days and weeks, I kept adding to the door, color on color, and white washing it, the more I played with the door, the more I began to like the distressed look it was getting. Still not a word from hubby. This is the door we use daily, it is our main mode of access in and out of the house. He is not someone who misses anything. So I knew he had seen the door. Sometimes silence speaks volumes.

When I finally asked how come he hadn’t said anything about the door, part of his reply was that he was just glad I wasn’t painting the garage door. (Our back door is not seen from the outside, one has to enter onto the back veranda first.) =^_^=

Here is a good example of PL teaching #9 appreciation of “differences”. He took into consideration, my need to create and express…. The door can be repainted at any time.

I appreciate him all the more for his understanding. The man is a gem, I am truly blessed.

Life is Art!

Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind

PL teaching day 30 > Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind. >When we are listening to someone, give them your fullest attention. Turning your body towards them, listen for the feeling behind their words so that you can truly understand what they are trying to tell you. >Listen With Your Heart and Your Mind.

It starts out innocent enough, our partner/boss or friend says something to us while we are busy working on a project or intent on something else. We heard part of what was said, think we understand, grunt, or reply in agreement and continue with what we are doing. We don’t stop what we are doing, and turn to listen to exactly what is being said, or why.( Remember that expression, listening with half a mind). At that moment, we really have no idea what we agreed to, or didn’t agree to. So later when something is expected of us, or we say something that provokes a very negative response in our partner,boss or friend, we are taken aback. We really haven’t a clue. AND depending on what the situation is/was, it can cause hard feelings, missed appointments, disappointment. When all it would have taken, was a few moments of consideration on our part, when addressed, to stop and listen with full attention, or to excuse one’s self and ask that the party wait a few moments, while you freed yourself from your current task. Remember – listen with an open heart and mind.

PL teaching for day 30 – Listen with Your Heart and Your Mind

PL daily prayers – By praying on a regular basis, we strengthen our bond with God/Universe. Our true self will shine, we are able to overcome difficulties and live each moment “mindfully”. Coming to church and sharing in the teachings offered ensure that PL becomes part of your daily life. Check the website for contact information.

Happy today to you all!

It is raining here, wonderful big drops of rain are falling with abundance, when the wind blows in the right direction, I get a staccato of wet sloppy drops on the window teasing me with their determination. They are full of enthusiasm, they had to have read the PL teaching of the day- Act with Enthusiasm – =^_^=

Rain comes in many forms, gentle, pounding, steady, drizzle, light spray, when you are walking in the rain, as often happens if you have a dog(s) to walk, or if you are a jogger, you know that being in the rain is a totally all encompassing experience. Your sense of smell, sight, and sound are there, and so is that feeling of being wet. No, not like when you are in the shower, swimming or bathing. It is a totally different feeling. A downpour if you get caught in one unprepared can be drenching…..but once you are soaked, lets face it, what is left to do but enjoy the moment. If you think about it, life is pretty much like that. When life throws a wrench into your day, take it in, absorb the reality of that moment, take a deep breath and move on. That moment passed, you survived, gather your thoughts and move on. There is nothing you can’t handle when you take life one moment at a time.

BJ Thomas had a hit many years ago called ‘Raindrops are falling on my head” that song, has stayed with me for years. Although he had many hits back in the 60’s and 70’s this is the song I remember him most for. Enjoy!

Act With Enthusiasm

PL teaching day 28 > If you put your whole heart into whatever you do, you will be able to appreciate any task at hand. Take initiative in tackling your work or tasks. Act with Enthusiasm.

Vitality in nature – All nature is a song – have you ever spent time in a garden? Everywhere you look, there is some dynamic event in progress. In our garden it is an ever changing vista. Birds fly in and out, they bathe at the water feature, they search for tidbits of treats left behind by the squirrels that travel the highways (hydro and phone lines) that criss-cross between the properties. Insects scurry back and forth along their well worn paths under the vegetation. Gardens are a hive of activity. One day the flower buds are lifting their little faces to the sun, and it seems like the next day, the branches are heavy with tantalizing fruit. The smells of moist earth is strangely stirring, and the fact that no matter how well tended the garden is, there is constant entropy and disorder.

Yet…. all is as it should be, each and every part of the garden is living as it should. There is a natural rhythm in nature, we let it happen, Variety IS vitality. Each and everyone of us, has our own rhythm/song. It is up to each of us to sing as we feel moved by the over-all song of life. Harmonize with it …sing in counterpoint….descend into strange modes, chant, “go with the flow”

PL teaches us to pray in order to have good self expression. We need to strive to express ourselves joyfully, cheerfully and beautifully.

Let’s First Accept and Appreciate Things as They Are

PL teaching day 25 > Let’s First Accept and Appreciate things as They Are. Even when dealing with someone you don’t like or when you are facing an uncomfortable situation, take a moment to first accept whatever comes your way. There is always something that you can learn from these situations. Let’s First Accept and Appreciate Things as They Are.

There is a pure essence of innocence in all of us. When we were children our actions were not to achieve for some ulterior motive, we simply acted on our intuition. Today looking in a mirror and seeing myself in an outfit that hugged my figure, I realized that I had to be more accepting of my outline, and appreciate my healthy body. Looking in the mirror, reminded me of a story recently published in the Portuguese newsletter (Jornal Perfeita Liberdade) from Brazil, (Feb.2013 issue) no matter how many times I feel a lesson has been learned, looking in a mirror, brings home a very NOW reality. Even as a child, I found reason to complain about how I looked. Self perception is a lesson that I will likely be working on for many moons to come.

PL teaches that when we are puzzled or at a standstill in regards to a particular issue, a spontaneous method (listening to our intuition) could lead to a highly creative and original solution (new way of seeing something) Act without guile and do not attack the problem directly, Let’s First Accept and Appreciate Things as They Are.

Discover the Many Things for Which to Be Thankful

PL teaching for day 21 > Look at the people around you, the things provided to you by Mother Nature, and all of the little things that bring you joy. If you search carefully for them, you will find how much you have to be thankful for. > Discover the Many Things for Which to be Thankful <

Count your blessings. Oh what a joy felt thought. I close my eyes and think of so many things that have touched me over the years, and all the friends who have at one time or another touched my “heart”. My heart is a treasure chest of good memories. Yes for sure I have known sadness, tears and heartbreak. BUT the LOVE, happiness and highs that gave me immense and intense pleasures outshine the sadness.

To know the shattering of heart, the loss of love, one must first let go and allow love and joy in. The only constant in life is CHANGE, and with change comes new life, new adventures, new tomorrows. Always live in the moment, enjoy today, now is what counts.

Our blessings are memories of yesterday, the wonders of today, =^_^=, tomorrow will be another today =^_^=

I’m going to try a share a memory with you now. A rediscovery of a singer who touched my world at one time.. He will be coming to the Jazz Festival this month, it was such a WOW moment to hear this song again. Blessings all – Have super happy positive day where ever you are!
