I’m late, I’m late

I'm late, I'm late

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.

Friday 13th Everybody! Hurrah!!

Friday the 13th Everybody! Hurrah!!

This little guy is getting ready to go to the church with me to set up for tomorrow’s Garage Sale. Been sorting and pricing for days, jewelry,crafts,scrapbook supplies, the stuff still left to take in. There is more at the church that I will be getting at later today. We have a crew coming in later in the day to help.
Tomorrow, bright and early we will be ready for you.  Come share the fun with us.
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

Good Morning everyone

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

Make up your mind

Make up your mind

Once you do so, things will begin to happen.
Once you decide “I’m going to do it!” Do it you will. Your
enthusiasm and strength of conviction will ignite the energy around you. Your sincerity will be felt, God will give you aid when you need it the most…
Learning is a life long process….
Now get out there and share your smile with the world.

May your day be blessed with radiant rays of Happiness!

In the still of the night

Written in the 50’s in the basement of a church.

Close your eyes, and let the song,the singers transport you to another dimension, another time, another place.
Access a place of calm.
Clear your mind and relax your body.
As you become still and listen
God’s presence at the core of your being will fill you with divine understanding.
PL’s unique “way” is always there to guide you
day and night.

When things don’t work out as I had planned, I don’t become discouraged. Open to divine inspiration, I know that new,creative ideas are always available to me.

Divine Order connects me with others

IMG_7283

God’s order is at work in all my relationships.  I am a peacemaker who honors the diversity of all life.  Attuned to divine order, I notice evidence of a divine plan unfolding in my connections with others.  Even with those I meet only briefly.  It would seem that life could be much more peaceful if everyone thought and acted alike.  Yet in my heart, I know that harmony does not require sameness.   a single note played simultaneously through several different instruments  doesn’t take advantage of the beautiful music that emerges when different chords and notes are played.

To honor the diversity of all life, I trust in the divine order to lead me, help me build  and connect with others in a network of sharing and support.

“From the state of mind of being one with God, Oshieoya-sama teaches us the path of happiness, how to progress and elevate ourselves, and find true freedom in our lives, based on the truth of “life is Art”  He gives us individualized teachings through “Mioshie” to show us our own unique paths.” Church of PL

The light of the soul is  bright, dense clouds of human ignorance/doubts obscure it.  Where are you in  terms of effort to make life brighter?

Have a grand day everyone… open your hearts and minds to new possibilities, smile, every minute you are angry or sad, is 60 seconds of missed happiness.

Don’t worry be Happy

Happy Tuesday everyone….
Start your day with a smile.
Never worry while you clock the miles
Traveling from here to there
Know that everyone, everywhere
Is wearing the Happy S M I L E
Why, because it feels good to smile…..
See you later!!!

Blessings to carry you through the day.

Misasage

Misasage

The word Misasage is frequently used in PL. It literally means to dedicate your body, or to dedicate yourself for the sake of others and society.
I knew very early in life that I would live a life a “service”, not that I understood the “calling” just that I needed to do or be the person I was. The path I walked was not necessarily the one pointed out to me, I knew the “WAY” and that was where I wanted to be. When I strayed, I learned from the “adventure”, and got back on the path.  Challenges in life, help us to grow.
What is so unique about PL is that to embody the teachings, one must engage 100%. not just understand intellectually. Live in the moment, be mindful every step of the “way”.
Oshieoya-sama gives us simple and practical ways to learn to live the PL WAY.  It is important to put your heart into even the smallest of matters, each moment accumulate into the whole of your artistic life.

Night is the time for regeneration -retire from the cares of the day, bathe and immerse yourself in the gestating power of the dark.  Till tomorrow.

Blessings be.

Even if you don’t have what you need, you will find a way.

Even if you don't have what you need, you will find a way.

If you are fixated on what you don’t have.(ie. language, or understanding of what the characters say) you will not be blessed with wisdom, or an opportunity to solve your problem(s). In PL we say, Think creatively to get past any obstacles in your way.

Every moment that you are with your problem(s) you are not with Tao. The best you can do is remember that your stress is not absolute reality. (Tao,Deng Ming-Dao)
