Disco Monday aka Wednesday

arriving for some disco

the clan start to gather

the fun began

at Pacifique (SL) the music, the atmosphere, the friends,

a musical interlude, a nice way to end the day.

Ok that was how I ended my day, but the start was just as great. We drove out to visit with our new whippet, here she is spending some time with her soon to be brother. Who is being as aloof and distant as he can be. Real party poop.

Meet Keeper, she is 5 years old.

OK she saying, I’ve done my few minutes with big brother, now let’s do something else. She is a sweetheart, can’t wait for her to be home with us full-time.

There is room in a day to do a lot of things, attend to what needs doing, resting, and having some “chill” time.

Sweet blessings to take you into the night.

wandering

sometimes,

we wander to the right

but get tempted to venture

to the left

sometimes

we wander right into the fire

where there is nothing to do

but close our eyes

nice and tight

till our thoughts

wander back into the light

only we ourselves can define our reality

PL Precept #11 Always be with God

wherever you wander,

you are NEVER alone

Travel safe my friend – goodbye

goodbye Lizzie 9.18.17_008.png Lizzie was an artist with a thirst to create, not just anything, everything she did was alive and vivid, just like her. Her creativity knew no bounds. When she first was told she had cancer, she said, OK, let’s deal with this.. and did what she needed to do, she beat the odds. Once, twice, the little vixen fought her way to live another day.

goodbye Lizzie 9.18.17_005

This last fight, she grew weary. She laid down her brush, with the quiet dignity of the true diva she was, she spread her wings and took flight beyond the heavens into the “night”..

goodbye Lizzie 9.18.17_009

We will miss you Liz, your energy and spirit, a diva warrior like no other, will forever glow in our hearts. Rest in peace.

late night visitors

Good morning…. Bom dia, Obviously the playground I posted pictures of the other day, stayed with me.

Remember this… There is something playful about the design, I’m not usually drawn to bugs and the like. Yet last night I found myself playing with the liquid acrylics and delighting in watching the shapes take shape.

If asked to do something whimsical, I would be hard pressed to come up with something, I consider myself to be more abstract.

Oh dear am I in a philosophical mood today, let me see.. today is the 14th. hmmm Hearts and Flowers day. I can show you my totally not dry yet heart, cuz I’m trying a new medium that takes forever to dry, like 72 hours or more before it is totally dry and finished reacting with itself. Oh dear I can smell it, but don’t see it, where did I put it..

Sorry I didn’t crop the picture, just snapped it with the handy iPhone. That black stuff is something I got yesterday, now I know why the gal suggested I might prefer clear or a white. It supposedly contains the liquid medium. They tell us not to marry up with your first impression of what you do cuz as it reacts with itself, what you see will change.

There is a mixture that is very liquid, called Vitrail (pebeo) one that is ceramic, one called Fantasy Moon, and one other in the Fantasy line called Prismo. When mixed together they all have their own way of interacting with the other.. In theory if you know what you are doing, you can create wonderful fantasy pieces.

I am very new to this product, days if that.. AND no one I know uses it.. so it is a trial and error process. That black I got yesterday and is called relief outliner. All this to say, Good Morning, how are you.. I’m doing fine.

Today’s PL calendar (if you need one, contact me) says… Work Happily with Good Rhythm can you hear me humming =^_^=

Here we go, romantic picture, dancing in the Universe, carefree and happy. I wish each and every one of you, a day filled with love and appreciation.

Never give up on your dreams, always remember that each moment is a lifetime, live NOW

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

We really are so blessed that we have the creative ability in each and every one of us to be ONE with the Universe…. always & forever…

snow- start to the week

ohno-part-2e_010

Getting around wasn’t easy for some today, the snow started last night, and kept falling well into the day. City crews did their best to ensure that the main highways were cleared, but it was made clear, side streets would not be cleared till after the afternoon drive home rush hours.

On the six o’clock news they showed one enterprising young man, Xross-country skiing into work. I recall one year when I snow- shoed in =^_^= I didn’t have to go out today, but I wanted to take advantage of the weather and attend a sale, that is usually impossible to get close to, especially if you want to park your vehicle, in my case, a big truck.

I was right, traffic was light, it was mid morning, and I had plenty of room to park. My day went very well, I found some great “deals” and enjoyed being out in the brisk snow filled air. Sure one had to drive slowly and with care, but we should be doing that at all time anyway. I was able to get some shopping in without a lot of fuss, and get home at a decent hour.

The PL philosophy is that if you start your day with a positive attitude, and a sincere appreciation for the weather and the world around you, your chances of having a full and productive day are very good.

PL Precept #15 all is a mirror

PL Principle # 2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.

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

oh no!

snow-dec-7_003 Oh NO! the snowman exclaimed

I’ve lost my head again

As onlookers turned away

and shoppers kept rushing by

All he could do was gasp and horror

as he saw his nose fall to the ground

snow-dec-7_002 all around as the day wore on

people came and went on their way

not once did anyone notice

that the little snowman

was having a difficult day

the fresh snow on the ground

made the parks so merry and gay

snow-dec-7_004 there was a shop down the lane

that if only someone would stop

he could tell them the way to find his friends

he knew his friends would come

help him put his head on again snow-dec-7_001 with a sigh of relief,

he saw his friends coming his way

oh joy, oh happy day!

you’ve come just in time

somehow my head fell off

and I’ve been at a total loss

I closed my eyes, and wished and prayed

and now….!!!! joy oh joy…!!!

ohno-part-2e_002

I can stand tall and proud again

his nose and smile back in place

he was ready to smile out at the world again.

ohno-part-2e_003

Life can get very busy, especially at this time of year. We rush from one chore to another, our mind always on the task at hand. While this is good, being efficient is always a positive, however, take time this year, to make time for your inner self, and for the friends around you who may not have the same holiday cheer you are enjoying.

Often someone really very close by or near to you can be having a difficult time. We fail to hear the silent plea not because we don’t care, but because in our “busy” mode, we don’t hear the world around us, we are running on remote control.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in Relativity

PL Principle # 4 I will live with the spirit of Misasage (Devotion) working for the happiness of others.

you are invited to join me

http://https://youtu.be/sOnqjkJTMaA

I am having a special party, and YOU are invited..I will be off on my broom

on the actual day of the new moon

I’ve been planning the menu for weeks

ohhhh it will be a special feast

long forgotten friends have been sought out

so you will not need to fret

help will be on hand

to welcome you in

walk up to the front door

don’t be shy, come right on in

I did do my best to get to all the rooms

but, perhaps, you shouldn’t wander too far

from the main rooms

yes on second thought

youy may want to refrain from opening closed doors

feel free to use the spa

should you need a quick fix

dinner will be served around six

I’ll do my best to sit with you

although it could get complex

I might need some time to dress

ignore the baby should he scream

after all, this is only a dream

http://https://youtu.be/AxcM3nCsglA

see you on my return…. have fun, enjoy everyday!

Choices

It is the start of a new month. A new beginning. In PL (Perfect LIberty) on the 1st of each month we have a ceremony, we pray for World Peace and rededicate ourselves to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds. That means anywhere we are “present”

PL Principle #21 I will live with the spirit of “Misasage” (devotion) working for the happiness of others.

PL precept #10 Love yourself and Others

When I feel one thing, and do another, then I am not being true to myself or to the person or situation I am interacting with. It is not always easy to think before we speak, and, unfortunately, once the words leave our mouths, they can’t easily be taken back.

Let us begin this month, with a prayer in our hearts that extends out to all whose lives we touch. Let us work towards acceptance and understanding when we are faced with something that is unfamiliar to us, or not in our comfort zone. In the end, we may decide that we simply will have to agree to disagree, but at least, we listened to the option. BEFORE making our decision, (choices)
