Love, kisses & Valentine wishes

On February 5, 2017 By AlexaIn Furniture, Gacha, Home7 Comments

How many people feel about Valentines Day depends on whether they are single or in some type of relationship. They either love or dread it and I’m sure there are a few out there that don’t pay it any attention at all. Though if you’re one of those that loves and you’re looking for some decor to create that special moment then Dreamscapes Art Gallery will help get you ready with plenty of decor and gifts to make that day very special.

I’m also showing another pug by JIAN, which is the rare one in the Love Pugs gacha at The Gacha Garden. While not shown the pug is sitting on a small stool. The pink teddy bear is one of the many bears that Aphrodite Shops has to also help you surprise that special one. The bowl of chocolate kisses is by Mesh India and it’s part of their Valentine gacha at Cosmopolitan. The blooming flowers on the cabinet with pillows is by (luc) boutique and it’s part of their Vision of Hope gacha available at the main store.

Trusting the magic of change and new beginnings

On November 23, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home1 Comment

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but building the new.” ~ Socrates

I was going to wait and post this picture until after Thanksgiving, but this morning I woke up and my room was quite chilly. I’m used to warm weather during this time of year so it’s a bit of a shock to the system to feel the chill in the air. This means I’ll be trading in my flimsy thin nightwear for those plaid flannel pajamas very soon along with warm fuzzy socks.

Moving further up the state has been a bit of a culture shock as well and something that I am not adjusting to too well. While a lovely scenic city with a lot of lushness greenery and some massive oak trees and bald cypress with Spanish moss it still feels a bit antiquated.

Change is hard and it’s something that I’m experiencing at a faster rate these days in just about every area of my life. Some changes are not very pleasant as I just learned this past week, though I know overcoming these periods makes you stronger. Improvement can’t happen without change and so embracing it means you learn and grow as you turn the directional path from the one you’re used to. It brings new beginnings as you turn the page and strengthens you for the next chapter in your life.

I put together the following scene just for fun using some more Christmas decor by Shutter Field and the newest trees by Little Branch, so check out the details below.

I think it just might be symbolic of changing the landscape from one season to another.

Coffee O’Clock

On May 7, 2014 By AlexaIn Home2 Comments

“Life’s too short to drink cheap coffee.”

Today I am combining something new with some previous buys, most of which are gacha items from past events. Aphrodite Shops has released a new mesh fully animated coffee machine that has on and off sounds and a coffee beans container. It dispenses a dozen of different gourmet coffees. It comes with the new automatic attachment system that I like, that doesn’t create items in your inventory. The set comes with a dozen decorative cups that are rezzable and also decorative sugar bags. The cookie platter is also part of the set and on touch dispenses cookies. Those little details in a product matter to me — especially when you want to have an interactive experience.

After looking at those cookies it really makes me want to have something sweet in real.

Lesson 24

On November 7, 2013 By AlexaIn Home3 Comments

This picture has nothing to do with this lesson, it is more the state of quietness that I find myself in this week. Even though I have probably only painted once or twice in the last year — behind the easel is where I have found great solitude shutting out the world and immersing myself in whatever I was painting. As I read this lesson nothing glaringly jumps out in my mind about being in conflict with someone else over the need to be right unless that small voice in your head counts!

You see I find myself contemplating the changes that have taken place in my life the last few months, some that I made willingly and others forced upon me and having to adjust as necessary. That voice says change is good and everything was for my own good and I fight back saying not all changes are good, being adamant in my way of thinking.

Yes, this lesson comes right on time for me as I choose to be open to look at it differently and apply it to where I am in life. Most often it’s not always another person that you can find yourself most at odds with. It’s yourself. Right? Admit you’re wrong and I’m right and we’re all happy. 🙂

Lesson 24: Admit You Are Wrong

Whenever two people are at odds with one another, it’s usually because both people are trying to be right. Sometimes we defend our positions even when they make us miserable, because we just can’t bear to admit that we’re wrong. Our need to be right robs us of intimacy and fulfillment in our personal relationships, and perpetuates our feelings of discontent.

This week, notice what your need to be right costs you in terms of energy, intimacy, and peace of mind. Ask yourself what’s more important: being right or being happy.

Your Self-Love Assignment

Allow yourself to see one thing you’ve been fighting to be right about. Are you holding a position with someone that’s causing you stress or aggravation? Have you been blaming someone else for your current state of affairs?

Your assignment this week is to make the powerful choice to take responsibility for the role you played in the creation of this situation. Even if you feel you can justify your position, notice how much more freedom, peace, and contentment you have when you let it go.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 150 points every time you admit you’re wrong!
