So be Yourself!
Live your life to the fullest.
Relax and express yourself freely.
Be who you are.
Accept you won’t always be perfect
In Taoism, there is no such thing as perfection anyway.
=^_^=
As humans we need to stop wanting definition for everything,
Sometimes, life is what it is.
Love and Blessings. now and always.
My two sisters and I had a day of “art” we made miniature prayer flags -great fun – photo -M.Murphy

In life, in art, in projects, we get what we put into the task.
Do you sometimes skip a step here and there, cuz you’re in a hurry, then wonder later why something didn’t turn out quite like you expected?
Do you plan the event to get the event over with? Or is there a purpose to that event?
Is there a goal in mind, are their expectations?
Put your heart into whatever you do. If you are going to do something, you mas as well do it with enthusiasm. You will gradually begin to see what makes it interesting, and perhaps exceed expectations.
Treat Today as if it is your First Time Around.
Just because you succeeded in the past, doesn’t guarantee that things will go as smoothly today.
Today is today, NOW
Love fills my heart for each and everyone of you.

Chances don’t just fall into our laps. They come to us when we are putting our full effort into something.
From the moment you decide to do something. things begin to happen.
Accept life, that it might move through you with grace.
Our identities can become our prisons.
PL> We are all born into this world with one of a kind personality and Makoto (individuality and a unique character) given to us by God. In order to express yourself fully, it is important for you to live each moment of your life expressing your true self with Makoto. <
Feel the love of God wrap gently around you, know you are loved, always…
Blessings
photo- art that changes with the seasons – by Q (it was created so that it would age with me!)
It is September right. If you are a craft person, or an artist, what are you doing right now? working on Halloween or Xmas? If like me your passion to create has you sewing, making, baking, pickling, sculpting, painting your studio/craft room has got to be one big jumble of on the go projects.
Some of my friends are very organized, I myself am a clutter pro, don’t touch my “mess” cuz I know where everything is. Sign at door should say, “enter at your own risk”.
Why am I telling you all this you ask? Because I know that many of you out there are my mirror image.. we tidy, get everything organized when we are in non productive mode.. but, once we start on our projects, there is no stopping us, time disappears, and the ideas are coming fast and furious.
If we stop to look around, we could get discouraged, however, **The key to success is to continue without giving up ** You need to continue and persevere to make your wishes and goals come true. Once you start something, see it through to the end.** this is a PL teaching that works for me every time. Sometimes I need to read it again, when I hit a lull, but by practicing PL every day, I get a lot more done.
I go to bed smiling and feel the smile in my sleep, Life is good.. and I’m here to share it with you. Creativity makes the world go round, when we accomplish something, we feel good, and our smiles work their magic for miles around us.
Smile, today is the start of a brand new day. Loving Blessings to you all!
Now this was exciting. I’ve been to fireworks before, we are lucky that here in Canada’s capital area there is a big casino that hosts International firework competitions every summer. Countries come from all over the world to compete, the shows are mind boggling.
However dear readers, this humble picture taken with my smart phone was one of many I took trying to capture the thrill and excitement of being right under the captivating spell of a dazzling display of fireworks (in Japan) that lasted about 45 minutes. One magnificent show of colour and artistry after another. You really had to be there. (I have been promised pictures from other members who had cameras, video cams etc. I’ll share when they arrive)
That is pretty much what life is like isn’t it. We can be spectators to what is going on around us, or we can be participants. Pl encourages us to Challenge everything with enthusiasm
Get in there… be the star of your own moment….
You will be rewarded with joy and new encounters that will give long lasting happy memories.
Oh Boy! It’s Thursday.. wow where has the week gone..
Isn’t life a blast. (am I dating myself again!) =^_^=
Double blessings.. why, because you deserve it.. life is good and you are part of it. I hold you all so dear in my heart.
This is another picture taken in Japan during Rensei Training. July/August 2013
On the right is Rev. Tokuo Itagaki, this man was tireless in his encouragement and hosting of all events! The “go to” man for everything. This picture came to me from a PL member from California (thanks Harry) in it you can see more of the entertainers who came by to share time with us.
(Kappa-Za children’s Theatre Group) The key figure that you saw yesterday and is also in this picture is Kimaru. When you chant his name, he comes out to play =^_^=
Well dear reader, here we are half way through the week, amazing eh. Has it been a good week so far?
Today’s teaching on the PL calendar is
“Letting Go of Your Ego Will Make You a Stronger Person”
If you are always caught up with power,status or appearances, you will have a hard time accomplishing anything of worth.
Let go and express yourself fully
Yesterday I am pleased to say that I managed very nicely to avoid any of the above “traps”, kept to myself, got what I wanted and needed to be done accomplished, all with a smile .. A smile works wonders. Granted I was one tired puppy by the time I got home, but I slept like a lamb.
Life isn’t always full of joy filled moments, but if we (me, myself and I) keep a smile and a happy disposition, the day usually works out to be ok, laughter does win the day.
Enjoy the day, if you live far away, enjoy what is left of the day and have a wonderful night of carefree dreams.
May healing energies bless those of you needing the healing “hug”, If you have extra energy to give, pray that those needing our love feel it in their lives today.
Blessings to each and everyone of you.
Tuesday in some retail areas is senior’s day!
Tuesday is a double Happy day…
Rain today will wash all your blues away..
Sunshine will brighten the dullness away
Don’t even try to have a bummer day
It is just not allowed, on this most memorable of days.
YOUR smile can spread cheer to those around you
We are joined in the spirit of PL,
our smiles will transform the day……..
PL teaching… A person who is always pleasant and cheerful can spread their joy wherever they go.
From Honolulu to Tim buck too…
PL is here for you.
Blessings of the day everyone! I love you!

A happier, more positive group I have yet to meet, These charmers were a delight to be around. When we were walking with the flags, their enthusiasm and gusto was catching. What better example of Living Life with Good Rhythm.
During the course of a day, new things happen all the time.
Being positive in life, allows for you to flow with the rhythm of the life, flexibly and willingly. Life is Art.
photo -taken by the group from Spain, that is Ana on the far right, she is the coordinator sharing with me. It was thanks to them that we have the wonderful picture of the Peace Tower I used yesterday
The song is a PL song and my favourite, it is one of the songs we sang as we marched together to the celebrations with the flags.
Share the love everyone. Love is what make the world go around. Love is life…. Blessings to you all!
Today’s teaching on the PL calendar, couldn’t be more perfect!
Just Be Yourself
Relax and express yourself freely without hesitation. This allows you to live your life to the fullest.
Where-ever you are, What ever you are doing
Be Happy- make good memories.
Blessings…
Good Morning everyone!
One should never assume. Here I have been happily blogging away about my life with Perfect Liberty, thinking everyone knew about the church of Perfect Liberty or had heard of it. My apologies. Above is the church in Ottawa, Canada. There are also churches in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, New York and Hawaii. These are the churches in North America. For the locations of the churches in Brazil, Argentina, etc. you would need to contact the Holy Land in Japan, In Japan there is a network of churches all across the country. It is my understanding that the next huge network is in Brazil . Pertfect LIberty HQ > 2172 -1 Shindo > Tondabayashi, Osaka 584-8651 Japan
The Ottawa PL Church branches out, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver with little communities in between. The PL Church in NY is headed by Rev. T.

Pl Church (Perfect Liberty) has a history that goes back to the First Founder Rev. Tokuharu Miki who was formerly a Buddhist priest,the story begins in 1912, when Rev Miki met Rev. Tokumitsu Kanada. Our history is fascinating one and one we will look forward to sharing with you. The Second Founder was Rev. Tokuchika Miki, who passed away Feb. 2. 1983. Our current ( Third ) Founder is Rev Takahito Miki
The PL 21 Precepts are the basis of the PL Teachings. They reveal the true path of life for all humankind. Beginning with PRECEPT #1 Life is Art” – It is these precepts that I write about and live in my life on a daily basis. For me PL is a way of life. Not just a philosophy or teaching. Like the TAO it transcends all earthly definition. I invite you to join me in my travels in life for we are connected by the ONE and only divine energy of Universal Oneness -God/Tao The flames spell out LIFE IS ART
