FREE

Creativity begins with an idea, then someone sets out to put the design to paper, from there, they “play” at making it work, how many times, and what number of templates were done before they got the finished product they wanted. We see the final product, and go… WOW…. Our lives are constantly being blessed because someone came up with an idea, and by themselves or with collaboration, they developed the idea into a product, idea, or service.

Please visit the blog site Next to Nicx web site for details on how to do this, and more

In PL (Perfect Liberty) the first Precept. PL Precept #1 Life is Art, is really the foundation of the philosophy we teach and practice. Begin today and everyday, with a brand new canvas, it will make your daily choices so much more interesting.

This is a YouTube clip that will keep you inspired

There was a time when we would say “everything worthwhile in life is FREE” By this we meant, LOVE, Happiness, Sharing, Giving,Caring, a Hug, and so on. Time spent with a friend was such a blessing and a special time… It was being with that person, and giving a personal, hand-made gift meant time thinking of your friend, while you made up or wrote them a letter or a note card. There was personal interaction, and exchanges.

Life does get busy, but that special connection, a personal word or visit, goes a long way in making for a stronger bond, or sense of awareness in the other person’s world. When we reach out and share with a friend, even a stranger, we are rewarded 100 fold.

Yes, I love a beautiful object, and I admire the work, the skill of the crafts person who did it. I appreciate its beauty, and sometimes I even want to acquire that object. But the greatest gift of all for me is the sincerity, and genuine love that shines in my life. Life is LOVE. Love abounds all around us. BE ONE with GOD, share your love, reach out and bring light and joy to someone today!

lost in time (a morning prayer)

another day goes by

and still I wait

under the clear blue skies

I watch one cloud slowly make its way

to another cumulus cloud

as they merge into one another

my thoughts return to another time

when I was young

in my prime

life was different then

so many fun encounters

young and old

spent time with me

now each new day brings

the trees reach out to give me shade

and the long tall grass

whispers to me softly

as they lean into me

I don’t see as well

with the passing years

my eyes have clouded over

but I know you are always

with me God

that makes every moment

worthwhile

I sit and enjoy

my fading years

another stranger will pass by

and capture me in lens

for whatever state I’m in

the glory of my life with you

will shine through

for

I am one with you

Tuesday,sunshine and glue

Guess who went to bed and didn’t plug her cell phone in to recharge, first two guesses don’t count. Usually no big deal, however, in an efficient mode these past months, I’ve been doing a tidy up. You know how we can get when the season is changing, especially from winter to spring. “We never use our land line” said I. let’s get rid of it, we both have a cell phone, that will work out just fine.

Good idea, right.. the hands free phones stationed all over the house for ease of access, went bye-bye. I admit there was a feeling of relief as one more item on my want to do list, got a tick mark beside it. For every action there is a reaction. I had my cell phone number changed to the main home phone number, so that worked out fine, more or less. Calls I got for “the husband” simply were rerouted to his number. BUT what happens then when our phones are not nearby, and we don’t hear them ring (ah HA! I got a blue tooth thingie, and I can answer mine from most parts of the house as long as the phone is within “striking” distance ,1,2,ever 3 rooms away .. NOT if you are not wearing the bluetooth

Or if you are busy working on some project, like making greeting cards for the Church sale coming up in June (18th) and you are working with a sticky glue, that sticks to you, but not the card stock!!! The handy hands free that used to be by the desk is gone, your phone is in need of a change, and your blue tooth gadget is ??? somewhere on your other desk in the clutter there.

That golden moment when you remember, your new set up, the cell phone has call answer and voice mail, YAY, so what your fingers and hands are full of sticky glue, you phone will take a message. All I need do, is find Hubby to get the SSS (Skin so Soft- Avon) great for taking away sticky stuff .. I’m sure somewhere there will be a website that will tell you of all it is claimed to be good for. For us, it’s getting the glue/sticky off.

The start of a brand new day

open the window wide

take in all that comes your way

for only today

will you live the golden moments

for tomorrow, they will

have flown away.

when time stands still

Times stands still when I spend time with you

some how the air is cleaner

my breathing lighter

the environment calms me

no neon lights

no blaring noises

just the singing of the breeze

as it gently weaves around the leaves and trees

the play of sun and shadows

a gallery of visual wonders for my eyes

the symphony of the wild life that abounds

music to my ears

All dear God/Nature/Universe

because you are with me

now forever and always

loving YOU is my life

Happy hearts and flowers day

This week I received a lovely thoughtful Valentine card from a dear friend in Australia. She said, she knew Valentine’s day was usually for lovers, but she really wanted me to know how special I was to her, and that she carried a love for our friendship in her heart, always. I was very touched, we met years ago in a virtual world, but soon found many interests that we had in common. Our friendship has stayed true of the years, we not longer talk as often, or write as often, our paths went in different directions. But, the feeling of love and friendship remained. At anytime, we can pick up and visit, like yesterday, time has not been a factor.

Love is a precious gift. True friendships will weather any storm. Cliches you say, they are words of wisdom proven to have endured through the years. Tomorrow, the 14th was set aside not just for lovers, but for letting those around you know, that they were appreciated and a fun caring way of saying, hey you are special, be my Valentine. Whether that was a teacher, a co-worker, fellow student, it was fun preparing the Valentines, and sending or passing them out.

Somewhere along the way, the words I love you, seem to have taken on a very different meaning. AND often the love it espouses doesn’t last very long. Love is beautiful, and when we truly love, we care 100% for those we love, and their happiness. Should paths go in different ways, shouldn’t diminish that love, however…. I do see around me…. that when love no longer shines, here is another cliche for you.. when the bloom is off the rose…..it seems that all that is left are the thorns.

With love from me to you… young, old, short, tall, I love you all.

HAPPY HEART AND FLOWERS DAY

beyond awesome

to live each day, moment by moment

taking in everything, we see, feel and experience

some days, are good, some are great

and then, we have an extraordinary day

with a beyond awesome awareness

that leaves you grasping for the words

to express what you are living

in that instant and moment in time

fascinating that no matter where or when

these moments happen

a new world opens up before you

‘and nothing can be ordinary again

time stands still,

the total surrender to the moment

it is like seeing the world for the first time

the wonder, the vast expanse of Universe

and our unique ONENESS

brings body, soul and spirit

in that second of realization

to a state

of beyond awesome.

buen dia, buongiorno, a good day to YOU

Good morning dear friends, I found a quote today, that I am going to post the way I found it, and then make a few changes to it. Smiles I hope you enjoy it.

Can’t do it, I’ll have to retype it for you……. Yay it worked. See persevere and you will get results! Ah life is good!!!

So here goes, for me this says..

It has little to do with the position I have in life

or the title that is given me (status)

whether or not I have fame or fortune

but everything to do with

the Dream in my heart

and my sincerity and desire with in me

to give everything I have

to being the best person I can in this life.

Namaste Oyashikiri

Bom dia, good day everyone!

A day filled with sunshine, that is one thing about winter mornings … the sun comes streaming into my office showering the office with a happy glow that is so inspiring and welcoming. The dried black fungus and fish mah is soaking so it will rejuvenate and be ready for a meal later… my iced coffee is watered down just like I like it.. What a super fantastic start to the day.

Another week, I can hardly believe that we are in the second half of the month. I was reading the calendar’s lesson for the 17th. (yesterday) Tente mais um pouco.. Persevere without giving up .. Persista un poco mas (a has an accent my keyboard doesn’t) smiles, nothing will stop me today, I feel so positive and HAPPY. In fact most days, I realize I am HAPPY . I like being HAPPY.

I had a Skype conversation with a friend the other day and was totally blown away by an experience she had. I listened carefully because I knew the people involved. It had been a negative experience at the time, but she was wise, in having let it go… and in a most positive way was moving on with her life. She explained the situation in a factual way.. and took responsibility for her part in it. I knew there was a reason I had liked her from the beginning when we first met. =^_^=

Of course, there is never just one side to a story, just as beautiful as this little black kitty looks, relaxed and resting, in another moment or two, the view we could witness would be very different indeed.

I plan on having a great day, there is a lot to do and be done, but, first things first, I was not going to let another day go by without saying how much I appreciate you … and thank you for sharing time with me.

LOVE IS UNIVERSAL

LOVE IS KINDNESS

LOVE IS TENDERNESS

LOVE IS GOD

GOD IS LOVE

I”m happy because LOVE fills my world

Texas, the Narrows

Austing,Texas the Narrows

There is something about this picture that draws my eye I want to be there

True I’m not a swimmer I don’t usually seek out water, but there is something here

that makes me want to be sitting there in the sunlight, basking in the sun

minus the people there, I think I would like to be there one my own

I imagine that there would be a quiet, and a serenity, with perhaps the sounds of wild life

coming in from above. Maybe people off in the distance, but not right there.

It is not always easy these days to find places that exude quiet, tranquility.

You’ve hard or read that David Bowie passed away, after a somewhat lengthy battle with cancer.

One of his songs that made the biggest impression on me was Space Oddity, it came out in the late 60’s but I didn’t really know it till much later. When I did hear it, it stuck with me.

David’s Space Oddity I hope you are able to click on this link and hear the song. the other song he did was China Girl, which he wrote in France. David sings China Girl I was young enough to day dream about what the song meant to him in his life.

I’ve never been to Texas. After seeing this picture of the Narrows, near or in Austin area, I think I’d like to explore more. That is what life is all about isn’t it. Travelling through life, enjoying the different adventures and challenges that come our way.

At a function this evening I met up with a friend who told me she was going to call it quits, “really!” I exclaimed, “you just partnered!!” ” after a silence, she replied “yes but I have only seen him for about half an hour in so many days.” “but, isn’t it about the quality of your time?” “No, if I’m going to be on my own, I can do that by myself”

Sound familiar? I don’t see life that way, I feel that when we have friends, we enjoy them to the fullest whether they are with us or not. It is not for their physical presence that we care about them, it is for the person they are. Each and every person in your life is a gift. I myself am responsible for my happiness. If I am not happy it is my choice, it is not someone else’s fault, it is my own.

What do you think?

PL Precept # 6 Efface your self-conceptions

Pl Precept # 7 Everything exists in Relativity

When you meet someone who truly touches your heart,there is never any question or doubt that the love is forever. Your paths can part, you can be miles apart, but that person will always be in your heart. True love is unconditional and it is forever.

1 sky 2 worlds

When the Lakota leader Sitting Bull was asked by a white reporter why his people loved and respected him, Sitting Bull replied by asking if it was not true that among white people a man is respected because he has many horses, many houses? When the reporter replied that was indeed true, Sitting Bull then said that his people respected him because he kept nothing for himself.” –Joseph Bruchac – Photograph: Orlando Scott GoffGood Sitting Bull, Lakota leader

Good morning everyone, I found this in my research today. It was posted 4 years ago on the Parabola (The Search for Meaning) site on tumblr.

How well said, and so simply .. it brings us back once more to the individuality of each of us, and how our cultures shape our thinking.

However that said, we are not back living in a time when the differences were not known, researched, studied, and documented. This is 2016 an electronic age, we can sit in our homes and watch documented reports of what is going on around us. There are thousands of published reports, books, magazines, videos and spoken story books. There is no reason for us to not know about our neighbours.

“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn’t have any kind of prison.
Because of this, we had no delinquents.
Without a prison, there can be no delinquents.
We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.
When someone was so poor that he couldn’t afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift.
We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property.
We didn’t know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth.
We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.
We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don’t know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.”

— John (Fire) Lame Deer.

This also was found on tumblr,in a post, Desert Dreamer, from Cape Town, South Africa

Just some food for thought to go along with your coffee. I find it extremely interesting and thought provoking that no matter who we are, or what our backgrounds are, we ALL strive for peace and want it in our lives.
