Have a good balance between mind and body. Being overly concerned about things, or overexerting yourself physically
will cause you to be off balance mentally and physically. Be careful not to overdo things.
Have a great week-end you all, May your week-end be filled with fun, laughter and activities that will bring lasting memories in the years ahead.
Blessings – now and always!

How often have you thought of something you’d like to do that is different from anything you’ve done before? Or, it could be as simple as break from the regular routine of taking the same way home every night, shopping in the same stores, hanging out with the same circle of friends and doing the same things each time you do.
One group of friends got together every second week to have dinner, after dinner they would pop across to the shopping area and browse awhile before having a night cap and then going home. This one week, a friend had her cousin visiting and asked if she could bring her along, What they discovered was that having that one extra person join them, changed the dynamics of their conversations during the meal, and which stores they visit after the meal. Why, because the “guest” brought a different view point to their discussions, and when they shopped preferred to browse in stores they seldom entered.
By the time they got to sit and have their night cap, they found they were each and everyone of them feeling “re-energized”. Their night out had been one of discovery and fun, they’d explored different topics, and seen other dimensions in their friends, as well as having made a new one.
If you are timid in life, you will never be able to break free and start something new. Believe in yourself, take chances now and then, Life opens up, if you Let Go, and venture out of the “comfort zone”
For a very important date! Today is my birthday! I was greeted with so many well wishes, I wanted to say thank you to each and everyone of you who remembered. I so appreciated hearing from you.
One of the most precious gifts is friendship, the personal time one takes to share a moment with someone else. Means a lot to me. Even with the electronic age,the fact that someone remembers, fills me with happiness.
That little girl raking leaves with her Dad, is a memory of a time shared with a man I’ll never ever forget. He passed away when I was 10, but his influence, love and nurturing live on in me today.
In PL we celebrate Ancestor’s Day on the 11th of each month. My father taught me that everyday is a celebration of “life”…to challenge myself, and always look at life as an experience to be lived. Not to fear failure, but to proactively challenge each new situation.
Believe there is always a reason, for what is. Know that tomorrow is another day. Have faith in the Divine love of God that is always with you.
You may be late, but you will always be on time for where you need to be in that one given moment.
Welcome each new day,
start today with a renewed appreciation for the world
around you… and the people in your lives.
With the world rapidly changing, we need to continue
to evolve, that sometimes means changing how we see things.
At one times their was a family structure that very different from what we see in a lot of families today. Especially here in North America.
In Canada and I believe in the U.S.A. we have something called Mother’s Day, which is one day set aside to celebrate our Mother’s, or the women in our lives who are Mothers, GrandMothers Great Grandmothers, which is nice. It really is.
However when I look around, I see that many women today are not just stay at home moms. They more often then not are wearing multiple hats, mother,sometimes they even have to be the father too (single parent family). They hold down one and sometimes 2 jobs not including the role of being a Mother which is full time. It is hard work being independent and self sufficient,
PL Principle #11 – Realizing that children are God’s children, I will raise my child to become a useful citizen for others and society. Realizing also that children are mirrors of their parents, I will not raise my child indulging in my own emotions and just wanting to satisfy my feelings of love.
The quote I’ve used today by Dorothy C. Fisher is a statement to be applauded.
Let’s be in Tune With the Times. -Begin your Day with Appreciation
Blessings and love to each and everyone of you, Now and Always. YOU are my Sunshine!!!!
Wake up and have a great day!
Everyday is a new beginning…
For me it is off to church to receive Oshieoya-sama’s blessings and to deepen my faith in PL…
Sharing in community is rejuvenating. PL faith grows not only through intellectual understanding but also through actively participating in PL activities.
It is a way of life. One I embrace with all my BEING
LOVE and BLESSINGS where ever you are ENJOY your day, fill it with meaningful moments! You will smile in your sleep all night =^_^=
song is Com Quem Contar (Ana Maria Miranda Coelho Rios) Who To Trust (song is sung in Brazilian Portuguese)
The translation of the song, the English words don’t fit the melody so much but this is the songs wording in English.
I was unhappy – Not knowing what to live for – I knew not how to smile. Life just wasn’t worthwhile – not knowing what I could do – Not knowing who to trust. **** I sought, I sough, At last I found – Oshieoya-sama, Oshieoya-sama *** chorus (twice)
Now I know – realizing what life is for – I always live with a smile. – Life is no longer a trial. I now know who to trust, Oshieoya-sama – ***chorus four times ***
I found this to be absolutely one of the best ideas for parents who are traveling with children. the cubicles are only so high, so the child has his privacy, but the parent can watch to see that he/she is safe and doing alright.
I loved the idea. This is the little girl’s side.
Then there is this side for the young boys.
Really now isn’t that just ingenious? Had I not been traveling through Japan with friends who knew the country, I would have missed a lot of the super fabulous sights that I got to see and take in. Their toilets were an experience, mine at home, and what I see here now that I’m back home are so boring. Bet you didn’t expect to be reading about toilets, however you must agree that this idea of having the child size bathrooms available in public areas, where time is almost always a factor in the getting to and from in a very busy train /transportation system is fab!
The Japanese call the rush hour tsukin jigoku or “commuter hell”... Commuter trains – I read stats for back in the the late 80’s. The figure for the system was something like 19 million passengers a day on 28,000 trains. Old people, and parents with children in tow stay off the trains during the rush hour. The shopping including restaurants are top notch in the stations where you enter,leave and transfer. Can you tell I was most impressed. The cleanliness will get me going on a whole new topic. =^_^=
Saying “Thank You” creates a heart to heart connection. Every day I thank Rev. Goto and his family for including me in their trip to Japan. Yes I was going for Rensei training. but had I not been gently encouraged and supported to step outside my comfort zone, I would have missed the opportunity of a lifetime. I listened to the “spirit within” and I am filled with a deep gratitude when a memory surfaces. i.e. seeing the pictures of the children’s bathrooms.
Use Sunday to recharge, make time for yourself, if you can, attend church, Kahlil Gibran said something like, “pray in times of distress and need, but also in the fullness of your joy and in days of abundance”
Affirm your faith, not your doubts!

In life, in art, in projects, we get what we put into the task.
Do you sometimes skip a step here and there, cuz you’re in a hurry, then wonder later why something didn’t turn out quite like you expected?
Do you plan the event to get the event over with? Or is there a purpose to that event?
Is there a goal in mind, are their expectations?
Put your heart into whatever you do. If you are going to do something, you mas as well do it with enthusiasm. You will gradually begin to see what makes it interesting, and perhaps exceed expectations.
Treat Today as if it is your First Time Around.
Just because you succeeded in the past, doesn’t guarantee that things will go as smoothly today.
Today is today, NOW
Love fills my heart for each and everyone of you.

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
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
Today the 11th in PL we celebrate Ancestor’s day. Service today at 10 a.m. Through the ceremony we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors. We ask for their protection and guidance so we can continue to live the PL WAY.
Accumulate Virtue and Pass It on to Your Future Generations. Always be thankful for the blessings you have received and pass those virtues on. Let’s pay our respects and give sincere thanks to those who came before us.
Blessings from the heart ..today and always
