Thursday

I see I had a typo I missed, a memory from 2008 how basic and different the technology was.. The avatars today look so different, yet back then, the one you see above was thought to me so advanced compared to earlier ones. Life is just a parade of changes.

The weather forecast is for gray, cloudy and cool days even into the week-end. Let’s hope that changes..

Today’s PL message…

Value those who are nearest to you.

It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your partner/spouse or other family members really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.

The PL newsletter is out, if you are not on the mailing list, please let Rev. Hiroko know. It will include the calendar of events and special services.

Memories

In looking through pictures I came across a memory from the early days in Second Life. A trip down memory lane is fun … Back then, the virtual world was new to me, I discovered that even the government was taking a look at this new world/technology.

Check out the old avatars… it was so much fun, the creativity was fascinating to me, remember when we built clothes with building tools… mesh had not arrived. It was a different world. The sign when I see it today, wow… it (SL) did offer a ton of opportunity, and those who stayed and grew with the “internet/pixel” technology… have a lot of good memories. Not to mention experiences of a lifetime.

Your feelings of appreciation become real when you express them.

Express your feelings of appreciation by actually saying “Thank You” out loud or by doing something to show how you feel. Not only will the person you are thanking feel good, but you will too, leading to better things in the future. (PL2014.21)

Tuesday

The other day I found a temple ruin in the jungle. I immediately thought, wow, what a fun find. It took me back (memories) to the days (years and years ago) when I wanted more than anything to visit Easter Island to explore the ruins and the huge statues that are all over the island. I wonder today how many people actually know of Easter Island, or its history.

In putting up the ruins I found I needed to contact the creator of this build. What a delightful person, I took the time to let her know how much I enjoy her creations, her reaction made my day. It is so easy to take our encounters with others for granted, say what we have to say and move on. I am constantly being reminded how fortunate I am to have discovered a world where I get to interact with people from all over the world and share a smile ( happy moment)

The ruins have an area where people gathered, there is a place to sit where I could overlook the skies around me and the worlds below. In life, I have to live with both feet planted firmly on the ground, landscapes need taming, home needs to be kept in repair, and its important to balance life’s demands on personal needs. *** never give up on your dreams/creativity.***

Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes.

Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” But, that’s just the time to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.

PL2020.6

I was also reminded yesterday on how special friends how… I got to catch up with a friend I have not seen in awhile, she reads this blog on a regular basis. Guess what! she and hubby go to car swap meets on a regular basis, and yes there are still swap meets where people get together to show off their hobby cars…exchange, trade etc. parts… thanks for the information and the great big smile you brought into my day.

(refer back to past a few days back)

These little animesh puddle buddies are soooo cute.. I couldn’t resist.

Dentelle

Meet Dentelle, first three pictures from left to right, the end picture is BeeJu, both of these gals are being groomed for a project I’m wanting to expand on. Dentelle was brave enough to try the new Cardboard Avatar that started as an April Fool’s idea for a Designer in SL (Salt & Pepper).. who was joined by other designers, and we now have a growing number of “people” in SL who have adapted the idea.. It has taken on a life of its own.

There is now a group for all of us who have fallen in love with this idea, and these are some of the items in the hunt that popped up. I have the LM for you here if you are in SL http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Astralia%20DEAD%20DOLL/161/118/1177

I use the avatars in my projects for the church as well as my other blogs. The girls are great to work with, always on time, and open to most of my ideas. Salary wise, it’s a breeze, they like being kept in smart clothes (to their taste of course) latest hairstyles and a place to hang.

Someone asked me the other day how old I was.. I was at the cash having a friendly chat about the mushrooms I had bought… on sale the huge big cafe mushrooms… I told the gal I ate them like a radish or orange, just straight out of the package.. no .. no condiments, no sauce, and yes raw.. That had the whole line at this cash smiling and wondering why raw.. I jokingly said, that is what keeps me young.. (of course I’m not “young”)

Then began the… “Oh” “ahs” they were all guessing of course at my age, since looking at me in my “outdoor” gear as my friends laughingly call my “out door” clothes. can really only leave people “wondering”… I avoided the how old are you question, with “in life, my goal is to be happy, and live each day doing my best to keep myself positive and spending time smiling and sharing “happy”.

Today’s PL quote – If you are going to do it, do it joyfully

If you have to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.

I was told a lot of people went back and bought cafe mushrooms.

A quiet time .. time to regroup, refresh, we need “ME” time.. to digest and organize our thoughts. A time to reflect on all the GOOD, the POSITIVES in our lives, we do have them, it is unfortunate that often we allow ourselves to get caught up in negative energy. The scrambled and chaotic energy seems to be all around us. It is our choice .. and ours alone .. on how we accept and deal with challenges/opportunities that come our way.

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective.

The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.

You will feel better when you take immediate action

Things have a way of getting more complicated when you procrastinate. Work on taking immediate action and you will discover many ways to tackle the situation.

Peng Lai

From the Destination Guide

Peng Lai

More Info Teleport Map

Peng Lai is a fairyland above the clouds, where you can see ancient Chinese art, culture, architecture, furniture, paintings, and decorations. Relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery and music.

I started my day with a journey inworld (Second Life) where I could take in the ancient wonder of old China, and do my meditation in the clouds.

Live expressing your own unique self in your day to day life.

We each are given our own duties and roles in life. Take the time to find what makes you unique, and you will be able to live your life expressing your own individual beauty.

life

Sometimes it feels like the whole world is happening around you. What is the saying, dance like there is no one watching. Music is a medium that brings people together, no matter what has been going on in your life, what drama has played out during the day, when you can sit back and just relax with the magic of a melody/song, let your mind and thoughts disappear into a world that transports you to another level of awareness. Mind altering. If you are lucky enough to be able to hear live music, and share that experience with others… it is a musical wonderland. Positive energy! Personal journey!

Past, Present and Future, always remember to be sincere and honest. At ay time, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself. At each moment in time, there is sure to be a way to express yourself in relation to your position or status. (PL2019.6)

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

honesty

If you are cheerful, it will make everyone around you cheerful. Cheerful and happy people attract others. Always smile and have a pleasant attitude,.

In the beginning love holds so much promise. It takes work and dedication for a relationship to flourish. The everyday things you do will show when it really counts. It doesn’t help to over think situations … be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.

Be true to yourself. but be aware of how others feel, be open to listening to another’s thoughts…. be willing to discuss, and consider all options.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity.

I am an avid explorer in the virtual world always searching out good locations to film/do photo shoot in, I was sent a site location yesterday by a fellow photographer from France.

I’d like to show you my experience while touring the site he sent me, I took the solo flight. It was an amazing journey through space, the artists who created this experience were spot on.. It is a meditation in itself.

in the bottom picture you can see me floating through space. It is a location I will go back to when I have more time, It was an unexpected delight. Anyone interested in taking the “trip” can connect with me and I’ll send you the LM (coordinates)

A person who is at peace with being alone, is rooted in their own truth. Solitude is a training ground… a sacred space…. When we learn to be happy alone, we find it is an opportunity to learn to “let go”.

As an artist, creative expression is something necessary in my life, in the virtual world of SL (Second Life).. I am constantly inspired by the wealth of creativity I find inworld. Whether in the designers of clothes/hair/makeup/jewelry, the creators of the landscapes and visual “worlds” that are built for members to visit and explore. The musicians, writers and builders, and and and…

Discover the joy of TRANSFORMING YOURSELF

When you realize how much you have changed for the better, it fills you with true happiness. Strive each day to improve yourself.
