Weekly Website

Etsy

An online marketplace for selling and buying all things handmade!

It's like shopping at the artists market, but from your own home. I discovered the website just in time for Christmas and along with my trip to Blue Banana Market in Toronto, have managed to get almost everyone on my list home made gifts.


Contemplation

Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and others.

Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The Question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy.

We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive at the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment. ... Thich Nhat Hanh

Anger: High Voltage

I think it was Deepak Chopra who talked about synchronicities in life.

License plates seem to be the source of humour for me lately. The right ones seem to whiz by me at the right times. Again, on the bus, looking down and all I see is a big HEHE staring back at me. I chuckled to myself.

Later on in the day I was going for a walk with a co-worker along the railroad tracks, and next to them is a big fenced off area with electrical stuff. I was thinking about stuff (Ian) and I looked up to see a sign that said: ANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE. Of course it was supposed to read Danger but the D had somehow faded away. I've walked past this same sign about 3 - 4 times a day for the past year and today was the first time I noticed this little message.

So I am going to ask the universe what are the underlying meanings in seeing HEHE & ANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE?

Maybe one day I'll be able to answer this.
