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.

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

Surrender opens doors

Part of healing is being vulnerable. It is through life’s lessons that we learn, our imperfections are exposed. In sharing it is not so other’s can fix us or rescue us, but so we can love and accept ourselves. Sharing is a catalyst in healing and change. Our value and worth is not determined by how hard we struggle. Learn to let things happen easily and naturally. Allow the “Universe” to ease us into where we need to be. Be open to the circumstances in your life. The love and light of God/Tao surrounds us.

Put sincerity into everything you do.

My thank you to each and everyone of you for sharing this part of my life with me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE- the Chinese new year begins.. It is the year of the Horse (4712). much happiness, prosperity and good health, today, now and always. Oyashikiri

Does the shoe fit?

A shoe can be a work of art -beautiful to look at – but impossible to wear

Love is a word often spoken, said, but certainly not shared

Lets try today to not necessarily say the word, but to show someone we care.

Actions do speak louder than words. If you can express yourself in words, do that too..

The “art” of Love is a full time, 24/7 passion

PL Principle #3 – I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things

Interacting Proactively

When you hear” Let’s interact Proactively”, what comes to mind? There is a lesson in PL, that with society changing as rapidly as it is, we have to keep our eyes and mind in tune to the changes and learn to deal with them proactively. I agree, however in my daily meditations, I find that there are times when I struggle to be proactive with mySELF. I underlined, read and reread a sentence once that began “Come back home to yourself” during an especially difficult time in my life, To this day, I pray for the strength to remain true to the belief that I am where I am meant to be, and to give thanks for getting this far. I will accept and surrender to my present moments, the difficult ones, and the easy ones. LOL and here is the biggie for me… I will stop trying to control the process.…..I will trust in the process.…. I will be proactive with the guiding light of God.

The more knowledge shared/given away, the more will be received – Tao

Many blessings on this wonderful day, may you find joy and sunshine, today, tomorrow and always. Oyashikiri

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

Courage

Have the courage to take the first step.

Sometimes the world seems lonely and we feel a void. To some the world lacks sunshine, not just on occasion but often enough that they forget the days of warmth and sunshine, when life was full and happy. There are days when just getting up out of bed is an effort. We’ve all felt that emptiness that begs to be filled. Some find relief in a relationship, others dive headlong into work and stay buried there. The void may be filled for awhile, but friends come and go, jobs change, that craving/desire for the special “something” returns, often with an even stronger feeling of “need”

In PL (Perfect Liberty) we live a prayerful life, The goal is to live with God all day, everyday, morning prayer and evening prayer at home, meal prayers, before and after. To be thankful, appreciative,and accepting of God/Universe in us and in our daily lives. PL Guides us to work towards our goals. We all of concerns that cannot be resolved easily. PL has a unique way of responding to problems in our daily lives. Through consultations given by PL ministers you receive personal guidance tailored to your individual character and situation

You have to have the courage to take the first step. If you are timid, you will never be able to break free and start something new. BELIEVE in yourSELF and take that first step.

God is the power,source and law of the Universe. Everything that happens in this world is God’s Act. in PL we call God, Mioyaookami.

World of wonder

World of Snow

Sometimes, we have to really look to see something.

When we do take the time to be present in our surroundings, we are often blessed with a deeper understanding of the moment we are living.

Prayer

Give your best effort with a prayerful Mind.

God Resides in a prayerful mind. The Universe responds to sincerity (Makoto)

Believe that even if you don’t have what you think you need, you WILL find a way! If you are fixated on “what you don’t have” you will not be blessed with wisdom and a way to solve your problems. Think creatively to get past any obstacles in your way.

Live With Passion

Live with Passion – Sowing the Seeds of PL Faith, is a book by Rev. Yumiko Tsuyama, I bought this book because it was there, I’ve talked about it before in a previous blog. I really did not spend much time thinking about it. It has become my “spend a quiet moment to reflect” companion. I can’t recommend it enough.
How often in your life time have you gone looking for a “self help” book, or picked up a magazine and enjoyed an article that “spoke” to you … The content just stood out, and made you think.
Rev Yumiko was dedicated to her “craft”. Each of her “lessons” are short little testimonies of events, memories of her experiences. You know this little book has me charmed because I wrote about it just the other day. I open the book and read the lesson she speaks of then close the book and reflect on what I’ve read. Not everyone wants to read volumes in one go, this book is done is such a way that we can pick it up and trust/believe that it will open to the lesson you should be reading. =^_^= ..It is written in a way that every time you read it, you will find it will speak to you.

Copies are available at the church, if you live in the States, we have churches in the States, pickup a copy, if you have one already, consider gifting one to a friend. I don’t usually promote books, forgive me, I’m just very enthusiastic about this book. Have trouble find a source, contact me I’ll be happy to direct you to a church.

My lesson today was about Hosho Spirit… this has been a lesson for me .. it takes faith for me, and it will be an ongoing lesson for me, reading her “teaching” today, spoke to me, even though I’ve heard it expressed before, in many ways, her words today, her simple story, gave me an AH! moment.

(Hosho = sincere offering of money to the church, whereby the person is blessed physically, spiritually and financially by Oshieoyasama’s Shikiri.)

(Shikiri = PL’s unique way of prayer, asking God’s blessing with a sincere promise to accomplish what we have to do)

Love and Blessings, today and always – Good Morning everyone!!!!
