Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation

After watching the news last night and seeing the snow storms that hit parts of the States and Canada leaving behind a mess to be cleaned up and dealt with for days to come, went searching for a picture that showed green vegetation and new growth. Wow my prayers and positive energy is being sent out to all of you who need that extra boost.

The PL lesson for today was > Begin each Day with a Renewed Sense of Appreciation < Are you living each day and getting into a rut? By making small changes in the things you do, your day to day life can become fresh and exciting. We are here today , by the grace of God. Let’s make each day meaningful, by starting out with a feeling of gratitude for a brand new day. In being genuinely happy about life, we will be blessed with a deeper sense of happiness.

Smile, you are loved each and every day, sometimes we may not feel very loved, but you are. Know and believe, you are loved.

I love this picture.. Warm HUGS everyone! Blessings – Oyashikiri.

Intuition

Do you value your intuition?

Do you act on your intuition?

When a thought pops into your mind, do you suddenly have that ahh HA! moment, in Pl we believe that it is a nudge from a Higher Power…. God is sending a message. We hear so often “act on your gut instinct” don’t hesitate, usually your first choice is the right one. Have “faith”, do it, make that decision, or make that move. Life is NOW, we really don’t know what tomorrow will bring… if you miss it, it can’t be replayed, or relived.

Feel the JOY of being in the NOW….. Let Go and Live. Oyashikiri

Blessings to you and yours, today, tomorrow and always.

Repeat after me =^_^=

Even if you don’t have what you need, you will find a way. Be creative in your efforts. If you fixate on what you don’t have, You will never be blessed with wisdom and way to solve your problems. Think creatively to get past any obstacles in your way .Often the Universe steps in and forces a slow down, or a rest that we don’t take time for. the things that come into our lives, including people and circumstances, happen regardless of what we would prefer, or what is convenient for us. Nature has a sense of humor that is all her own. =^_^= we, (human beings) are born with the ability to experience pain so that we can avoid pushing our bodies beyond natural limits. Do we listen?

PL Percept # 18 Each moment is a turning point.

Good morning everyone…. have a positive and happy day! Oyashikiiri…….

Good morning, good morning

I’m still reading yesterday’s lesson, “Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation” the sun is streaming in my office window… I slept in late, feeling lazy and happy. Nice way to start the day, don’t you think? Had a short conversation of sorts with a young woman from Brazil (Rio) who didn’t speak English, and I don’t speak Portuguese, so it was brief, but enjoyable, we both grabbed a dictionary and did our best. =^_^=

In doing our best, in putting our heart and soul into what we are doing – being present/focused – we always achieve a “connection.” In giving our best, we are rewarded with a result, it isn’t always the result we set out for, but it is a result never-the-less. I’ve learned to appreciate the little detours that the Universe provides, makes learning my “lessons” much more of an adventure … after all…. Life is Art.

The top photograph was taken in Japan, the magnificent sculptured Tower/building can be found on the Perfect Liberty campus in Tondabayashi, Osaka, Japan. (The PL Peace Tower) The view from the upper rooms is breathtaking. The second photo is part of the landscaping on campus.

Make today count!

May your day be filled with warmth, happiness and love. Always and forever. Oyashikiri

Money and “things”

This is one of the seasons where it seems a lot of money is either being spent, or credit is being used. We all know that when we use credit, the debt is one more thing added to the financial stress we carry most of the year. Many do it anyway. It is very hard to resist all the marketing and highly paid for advertisements that bombard us from all directions. If you live in an urban area, and visit any shopping center or mall, you are blinded by colourful lights and beckoning elves and snowmen. I must get a zillion sale notices starting in November about just what I need added to my already cluttered life if I am to enjoy a good “Christmas”

The truth is, we don’t need anything from a retail store to make us happy. Happiness is a state of mind. Happiness that is acquired through a purchase soon losses its luster and appeal. That electronic must have soon is replaced by something fancier and more sophisticated. The dress or outfit once worn a few times is no longer to be seen in.

The Value of Money and Things Depends on How you Choose to Use Them. (PL teaching) Money and things are materials for your self-expression. Use them to their fullest for the sake of others and society. (Church of Perfect Liberty)

World Peace starts from Peace at Home and in Our Hearts. Inner Peace is the greatest gift of all.

Have a wonderful day everyone, be happy.

Blessings, Oyashikiri

Vulnerabilities

A warrior takes every person as an adversary
He/she sees all their vulnerable points.
And trains to eliminate his/her own
Only the way of the sage eliminates all weaknesses.
The sage goes beyond concepts of protection,competition,honour and righteousness, and has no fear of death

The sage knows life is merely an illusion.
Life is but one dream flowing into another. Tao –Deng Ming-Dao

A healthy mind is clear and uncluttered, always opened to the heavens/UNIVERSE

Whatever the optimal time of the day for you, set aside time to cultivate your connection/ bond with God/Tao.

Holly & Mistletoe

So many parties and events, there is a lot to do during the holidays =^_ ^= What happens when and if you are simply not the party type, or like being in crowds. One of the lessons in PL (Perfect Liberty) is to appreciate who you are, your situation, likes and preferences. As an artist who can easily get lost in writing or creative expressions, I tend to forget what time of day it is, or even at times, what day it is.

In PL, we have daily opportunities to speak with or have personal consultations with the PL minister of the church. If you are not near an actual physical church, all the PL ministers no matter where they are will “meet” with you, via phone, internet, Skype, whatever means they have at their disposal to “meet” with you.

Each one of us has our own unique personality and lifestyle. Therefore, it is different for each individual how they practice the “True Way” (TAO/PL) We all seek happiness in our own way.

Last night when I couldn’t sleep, I wandered my favourite shopping haunts looking for a red dress for the holiday season. No not to go to parties, no-where really, but because it pleases me to dress up. Like the days when I designed fashions for my doll models, now I can do it in the virtual world, it is a form of artistic expression.one I never seem to tire of. LIFE IS ART

Look and you shall find …. 5 little words to remember, in all aspects of your life. =^_^= You need to continue and persevere to make your wishes and goals come true. God is here for you, God is everywhere ALL the time.

YOU are loved.. today and everyday.

Lost and Found

Lost to us is the simplicity of yesterday

Lost is the innocence of your younger years

Lost is the time when we were happy to simply explore and enjoy the world around us, where everything was new, being friends meant secrets shared and fun and laughter was just being together, free to play out our dreams and fantasies.

Where are those moments now? Do you still cherish your dreams, do you make time for that young boy/girl you once were..

Today I found a quiet place, far away where nature was at play, and the day was playing out like a long forgotten song. I watched while a bear patiently waited for the fish to come her way, I heard the sea gulls call out as they flew across the skies. In the distance, I spied a small cottage waiting to be discovered.

To my surprise, as I got closer, I saw two chipmunks sharing nuts on the porch. I’d found a bit of paradise and it was all mine to enjoy.

For a time anyway – after all, happiness and beauty should be shared. Today I found a quiet corner, a place where imagination and dreams can be relived. Link will follow at the end of this blog. It isn’t enough to do things just to make yourself happy =^_^= I did meet a fellow traveler while I explored. He too was taking in the beauty of the build.

Like two ships that pass in the night, we exchanged greetings and moved on, each respectful of the other’s space. No matter we were in the same place, our photographs I’m sure were very different. Just like in life, even when we stand shoulder to shoulder and look out at the world, each person will draw their own impressions. That is what makes life so interesting.
