During and aftermath recovery cleanup help!

AVILA’S ABBEY.  Safe.  Serendipitous.

Please meet Avila and her fellow furry and feather friends who are on their adventure seeking to explore their vast and various aims and interests.  

Along with their own abundance of original, infinite ideas, experiences and imaginations, they desired a space where they could safely be secluded from or share in community the wonderful and the woeful things they experienced.

Not everyone is open, willing or able receive and keep up with their ever flowing feelings and findings.  Thus, they designated this place to collect and cache these helpful tools, fun facts and/or fiction, for efficient and future use and reference.

Please remember we strive for this to be a place of peace and harmony where charity rules, like a free resource library with a newsletter and occasional digital magazine.  Therefore, there may be reposts that have not yet been cited that are in their original forms.  We are not claiming authorship on all content here.  We are processing this on a weekly bases, while still opening the information to the public so we all may be inspired or helped by those who have openly shared their talents and advice with us.  BENEFITING ALL OF US!

If you need us to address something please email us immediately and we will remove or respond accordingly.  

Thank you for your consideration and for those of you who have shared openly their thoughts or talents we truly appreciate your graciousness!  

SO GET ON BOARD WITH US and HELP US TRANSFORM THE WORLD TO BE A BETTER PLACE!  THE MORE THE MERRIER!!! 

The good thing is that to visit here “you don’t need NO ticket, you just thank the LORD!” ~ Curtis Mayfield

(Did you notice David Lindley in the background playing?  Sadly, this “Instrumental Virtuoso” and musical genius passed away this March, 2023 – Rest In Peace and thank you for the years and years of musical joy you brought us!)

George Washington supposedly once stated:

“We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.”

So, let’s learn from our mistakes and forgive ourselves and others and let go.  Turn the rest over to the Lord to handle.  

We are called to stay alert and somewhat clear, on what is going on around us without fear-mongering, succumbing to the ongoing (true or false) threats that currently consume our culture and tempt us to oppose one another without proper discernment, discourse and ability to have open and respectful dialogs.  

We will also may eventually have ways to earn from works we have originally created, or from commissions from any affiliates we stand behind and promote.

Please do YOUR OWN RESEARCH and DUE DILIGENCE and let us adventure in a mostly informal, serendipitous and benevolent way.

Please let your LOVE SHINE – there is someone in the world who needs it even if it is a tiny ray that is clouded at times.  If not here, then get it out there and share your uniqueness whether it is a simple visit or cookin-up something for someone in your home or neighborhood (like Grandma’s delicious, secret, “Award-Winning” Meatloaf Recipe – YES, we have a FOOD section here too!) or best of all is a true SMILE!  We all need to SMILE MORE!

Thank you and May God Bless You!

“When one of my dearest friends and I would argue passionately about an issue we disagreed on, we’d take it outside on the patio and, alas, if we did not come to an agreement, she’d say, coolly, “Let’s agree to disagree for now”!  So, we’d take away what wisdom or new perspective gained and let the rest go for the time (we usually forget about it) and got back to the PARTY and to the DANCE!  That wisdom taught me a BIG life lesson and still serves me well today.” ~ RM

 
We know that ALL things work for the good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.

We are excited and grateful to share the gifts and talents others have created here for the provisions for good and happy life for all.

What unique gifts and talents are you endowed with that may contribute to the well-being of someone else for the greater good of even a small creature or for all and make our world a better place?  They need not be huge – a smile, a kind word, silent acts of patience – they go a long way these days!

Thank you for sharing them!

– M. Clemento

“The content here is fresh, fun and unique and has broadened my perspective and inspired me to feel more valued as an individual and give more (even shared that good secret recipe) and now pray for more faith, hope and love to spread.”

Alas, in the end there will only be LOVE.

~Jimmy B.

Thus, we might as well…

“Keep a fire burning in your eye,

pay attention to the open sky,

you never know what will be coming down…”
