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.

PL Principle 1 I will live paying careful attention,putting Makoto (sincerity) into all I say and do.
Sometimes we need to drift into another dimension. We need to allow our thoughts to wander and meander in ways that will expand and re-energize. this is Forest Elf Music – Elf Village posted on YouTube by Brandon Fiechter July 2013
Music, the visuals, they were just what I needed after several days out in a row with all the Season’s hype. I’ve also covered several holiday Xmas events.. I was the there as the photographer and of course to gather information for one of my blog reviews.. There is only so much HO HO HO one can take. LOL I’m sure after a good night’s sleep I’ll be fine. Meanwhile, you get to enjoy this wonderful trip into the world of fantasy and fun.
It seems it was called the King Tut of barn finds.
An auction house in France announced it would be presenting 60 rare vintage, exotic cars, found tucked away in western France.
I know how I felt watching this clip, did it tug at any of your emotions, did you have a sense of something m perhaps shades of sadness, Was it just the music,or the visual.
These amazing pieces of steel and craftmanship were once new, the were the accumulation of hours of work. The creators, the builders,designers,trades that had to pull together to build these machines of pleasure,
The cars, were admired, driven, used for commuting, and any and all other modes of transportation – finally they came to rest here in their final resting place.
Restored and found 50 years later.. If you are wanting more information, it is the automobile collection of Roger Baillon (he was a French transport business owner collection classic cars, to start a museum, but in the 70’s he business went down, and he had to sell 50 cars to pay the bills)
The cars or a real find, Many of a history, and the fact that this collection was lost and left to be embraced by nature, for car affectionados, it is causing a real stir. Imagine seeing Talbots, Delahayes and a 1956 Maserati A6G Gran Sport in one location.
For me.. although not a hoarder, I like having my tools, and pieces that give me pleasure or a sense of being able at anytime to delve into a favourite pastime, or activity.
Seeing this clip stirred me into doing a tidy up. Big clean up. I realized that I had far too much in the way of material things/objects… in clearing away the clutter.. and things that have long lost their moment with me… I am making way for new beginnings and freeing space for improving the quality of what is happening in my life now.
note.. the Ferrari 250 sold for 14.2 million on Feb. 6,2015 at auction.
Today I’d like to discuss PL. Principle 2” I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.”
This is a lesson that I reappears in my life over and over again. I don’t see myself as a complainer, however, there are times when I feel that my feelings or work is not appreciated. It is true, that I do things because I want to. I also love what I do. why then do I seem to want some kind of feedback, or acknowledgement of my creativity. Please dear reader, understand these are musings. In Principle 2, as you read above, I am to work at not having complaints about others, yet, there are times when I definitely feel that someone or others are simply not responding to a request I’ve made or given feedback on a subject that pertains to something we share or are both involved in. I ask myself, is it complaining to speak up, put my thoughts and feelings on the table? Or, is it being honest and open about something that bothers me?
PL Principle 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.
PL Principle 17, I will not say or do things that hurt others.
PL Principle 14, I will not have a mind to be lazy, I will not have complaints while working, nor be overly concerned and complain about others.
Some days, when not sure just where to “land”…. when you feel that your head is in one place and your thoughts in another… I do what makes me feel better, I meditate and pray. I remember that PL Precept 18 reminds me that “Each Moment is a turning Point”
Be with God
Today, and everyday

The first time I saw this artist, I was in awe, I had never seen anyone work in sand that way. Today I once again found it in my mailbox and thought to share it with you. Kseniya Simonova was on Ukraine’s Got Talent. The upload to YouTube was done in June 2009
Another person (Shirley Castillo Vanderau) has filled in the details on this fascinating performance by Ukrainian artist, Kseniya Simonova:
“In the semi-final of «Ukraine’s got talent», Kseniya Simonova was going to perform a sand story about the Great Patriotic War which she created in the memory of fallen soldiers who saved her country Ukraine from the Nazi. Kseniya refused the proposals of the producers to choose a more popular theme. She said: «I just want to bring some immortal sense to this show. Not just pictures or video clips. Something close to all hearts… It was also a tribute to my great-grandfather who heroically died in 1943 defending his Motherland». The sand story Simonova presented in live TV shooting of the semi-final was called «You are always nearby». It was an 8-minute live sand story of a young couple who were separated by the war. The young Lady and little Son were waiting for the Man to come from war, but he was killed. In the end he came to their window and watched them with a sight of love and hope. There was not a single emotion on the face of the performer. Simonova’s hands worked incredibly fast. Nobody knew what was going on in her soul. From the interview of Simonova: «It was so emotionally hard, and I now still cannot think about those minutes without pain… My hands were dyeing and reviving making the images.» Kseniya was hoping to get a little advertisement for her as an artist, but it turned an emotional bomb explosion. Almost the entire audience was in tears. Applause came down just after a minute after she finished her performance. Everyone in the hall applauded standing. Kseniya passed the semi-final and passed the final of the contest. In the third round, at Final, the sand story of Kseniya was about parents who gave birth to a son, the son has grown up, became successful and adult and forgot his old parents. Kseniya wanted the children to remember their father and mother — people who gave them lives — and call them. The resonance was enormous — people came to her in streets saying: «After watching your story, I took the phone and called my mom. I haven’t talk to for her a year. I called my mom after your story. Thank you very much! » Simonova said that these words were more than winning the show. During the interview with the judges in super-final, she said: «I’m not sure I want to win the show. But if a single person who didn’t call his Mom, will do it after my sand story — I will be more than a Winner!» the performance..Call your parents. ‘Don’t be late to see your parents alive.'”
We find inspiration in many ways, I hope that you found this sharing interesting and inspiring.
So much to see, so much to do, there are times when it feels like one is visiting Alice in wonderland. Only we aren’t sure how we got there, or just what to do next. It happens, you are still being social, getting things done, but somehow you have lost the connection to your modem.
You know something is amiss, just can’t put your finger on it. We’ve all heard the expression, “one door closes, another opens”.. Sometimes it just isn’t obvious where that other door is. Some doors are not what we expected, but then that is the beauty of life isn’t it. To grow and develop our knowledge base, we have to explore beyond our known borders.
Is today a day we will open a door, or will we admire the door and keep walking. Do we lean towards doors with history, or do we wait for that one door that will beckon. ???
Admittedly some doors are well boarded up, so do we really want to go inside. In my world the answer would be, probably not, I tend to live in the moment, and going back isn’t an option for me. I have discovered that life will bring me the lessons that I need to relearn, perhaps in a different format, but I recognize the lesson. Maybe not at once, but at a given moment the light bulb goes on, and I just know, I’ve been in this space and time before. Perhaps the players are different and the location, however the lesson is one that I’ve faced before.

PL Precept # 12 Everything has a way according to its Name
When I hit a phase of walking in a daze, I “Let Go” and just try to slow down so that I can regroup. In the car while going to the gym, instead of going to the one closest to me, I took a left and drove to the one further away. This meant driving several miles out of my way, but on open road. Driving can be therapeutic.
This is what I heard when pushed the play button – it made a difference in my mood, and set the pace for the rest of the day.
