Goedenmorgen, good morning everyone

Remember the song, Rock and Roll is here to stay, or when we were all hearing about the “British invasion”? Of course not, some of you do, and others have no idea of what I’m talking about. Never -the-less … both are part of “history”, contributed to the world today. Not all that long ago, I was doing research for a virtual blog* I write, when I came across these characters in a haunted house. I had the opportunity to meet and talk with the builder of this particular setting and others just as much fun and creative, Being an artist myself, I am often humbled by the ability of others to recreate such fun and authentic looking scenes. The designer, BambiTwice Nitely has given the virtual world of SL a playground for explorers that is unbelievable in the range of destinations she has provided. i.e Medieval Fantasy, Star Wars, Aquatic-Marine and Tropical fish, the list goes on, oh and I must not forget a museum of amazing Illusions, these are just a few. all this to say, because in our limited worlds, we often resist stepping outside the box. Going or doing something that we have never done before, will always bring something new into our lives. Give us a new perspective. Challenge us to revisit some of our thinking?

How has your day been so far, where you on the stairway through the day, are your steps leading up or coming down? Either way, you will find a new vista(s) to explore. We should try to start each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Smiles through the screen at you. Life is so full of treasures some long forgotten that need to be rediscovered and others that are brand spanking new. Remember LIFE IS ART

For those of you who travel in Second Life, this is your link to the boat that will take you along the Nile to the land of the Pharaohs, Pyramids etc. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Enchantment%20Island/190/97/23

Where do you want to be today? Choose to feel the range of your emotions rather than become numb or indifferent. Make your choice the one that will have you being present in all you do, to be mindful of what the day has in store – reach out and share your mega watt smile with the world. Trust you will be empowered. Blessings, Oyashikiri

Has the ship sailed

Are there moments when you feel the ship has sailed and you are not on it. …. Do you feel you are standing on the dock watching it sail away thinking you should have gotten there sooner ….. If you are on the dock, it is because that is where you were meant to be …… That ship wasn’t the one that had a berth on it for you. At the time, you might not realize that, but Believe …. because if and when the time is right for you to be on the boat, you will be.

There is no denying that life can be a struggle. Often we can feel pulled in far too many directions. World news is negative and television and movies can be so violent. How do we stay tuned to the “word of ‘God/TaoUniverse”, we Trust in our divine connection with the Higher Power. we Believe with all our hearts that our prayers are heard, and Know that we are blessed. Whatever we are living it is because we are in a learning curve, give thanks that you are alive, the moment will pass, and life will move on.

Say good riddance to the past and move on. Today is a brand new day. My prayers are with you today, and always. Blessings, Oyashikiri…

Good Monday Morning Everyone

There is a great sense of joy when we are able to express our true selves. Our environment and the things that happen all around us, are all materials for self expression. In PL we are taught that with God’s blessing, we will be able to freely express ourselves using these materials. When I found this little church tucked away between a wooded area and the sea, the artist’s build brought a genuine smile and joy to me. If you are virtual traveler this is the link to ! The Sanctuary ” Our Lady Lourdes of Lourdes”, the url is http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Excellens/189/209/67

Always focus on your true feelings and express yourself honestly. It was in following where my footsteps led that I found this little sanctuary

By leading a cheerful, joyful and beautiful life, you will learn to work for the happiness of orders as well as yourself. PL Precept #21 LIFE IS ART

Dreams -astral journeys

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 =^_^=

Live today to the fullest

When the world lacks colour, we have to find our own.

When skies are gray with clouds, rediscover your home – When it is too cold and the outside landscape seems frozen and unwelcoming, snuggle in at home. Home can be anywhere, find a chair, close your eyes, connect with God and you are HOME.

PL Precept 11 >Always be with God in so doing, you will live today and everyday to the fullest.

Spiritual Balance

Drolma Lhakhang, http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wakeley/41/69/146

>A Green Tara Tibetan Temple and former refuge of Atisha, one of Tibet’s greatest teachers. Founded in 1055. Sponsored in Second Life by Free Tibet. Free meditation zafus, thankgas and other Dharma items are available on the 2nd floor gallery.<

As we travel the roads of life, and encounter the challenges that come our way, it is important that we maintain a spiritual balance. Our “spirit” includes emotions, energy, hope, courage, , it embraces our individual choices regarding ethics, morals, values and integrity. How you live your life, what you take from and give to life is an integral part of your spirit.

Let us choose to put our whole heart into whatever we do. Let us practice being mindful towards achieving a better balance in our daily living. Keep prayer a daily practice, stay connected.

You are always in my prayers, now tomorrow and always… Oyashikiri

Enthusiasm

PL lesson for yesterday was – Act with Enthusiasm – it was something I just couldn’t get enthusiastic about, until I read further, “If you put your whole heart into whatever you do, you will be able to appreciate any task at hand.”
Hmmm – yup I could do that, my objective for the day was to do as little as possible, In the afternoon I actually took a lie down, not to sleep, but to do nothing..
I did doze, but with no telly, no phone,no PC, no radio, I soon drifted into what my mother used to call “daydreaming”
It was nice.
It was rewarding, it was calming and peaceful.
My body rested, and best of all my mind had a holiday away from news,weather and sports. If you get my drift.
My lesson yesterday. enthusiasm = being in the moment and doing it whole-heartedly =^_^=

LOL – I looked at today’s lesson, ‘Just be Yourself” that’s me…. easy peasy. What are your plans for today? Are you making time for yourself during this busy time of the year? LIFE IS ART.

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.

la foret des soupirs

Adult – very inviting landscaping. You know I’m always drawn to the little cottage off in the distance. =^_^=’ http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hot%20Bodies/199/243/22

The Xmas tree has been put out, but there is no snow yet, the water is clear and inviting, the mountain off in the distance speaks of worlds to conquer, yet here on the deck, the birds and crickets sings, all is peaceful.

In the background I hear the voice of Edith Piaff singing songs from a long ago time. It is very tranquil here. I may stay and visit awhile. The outside world is so busy, everyone is in a hurry. The radio must be on in that little chalet I saw, it was, the room in the chalet is a little oasis of comfort and charm. I left the SL(Second Life) to attend to every day errands, when I returned this evening, there was a couple happily enjoying the sharing possibilities provided in the cabin. I left =^_^= 3 is company.

When we venture down paths we’ve not traveled before, we are more likely to encounter new experiences, and new people. In this build I discovered a world that is very sensuous, the designer has applied her skills to recreating a place that is inviting. Her woodlands, home and furnishings are brought together in a piece of virtual art that is pleasing to the senses.

I bring this approach to my adventures in life, Life is Art,(PL, Precept #1) how we interact with the tools and canvas provided will influence the outcome of our day and lives. Choose to use words and gestures that are kind, polite and courteous. In this way, we help shape our day in a very positive way.

PL Precept #15, All is a Mirror to recreate an environment such as the one visited today, the builder has to have lived, or experienced the “virtual world” they wished to share with visitors. The site is group owned, it was founded by Leesha Azara (Pearl.solano)

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a Turning Point I love this Precept, it is so positive and gives such hope. Think about it, it is NOW, EACH moment is a Turning Point.!

Living in Perfect Liberty is so amazing. Blessings everyone
