The echoes of another day and time

On January 28, 2017 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, HomeLeave a comment

Happy weekend! I’ve been out and about running errands since early this morning and it’s cold out so I’m glad to be back indoors for a little while.

Today I am showing a new gacha by Lucas Lameth that is out now at this round of Shiny Shabby. The Valhallas Rest Gacha set is 10 pieces to collect in total and when I rezzed it out it gave me somewhat of a coastal feel so I thought to go all light with the rest of the decor for this scene.

I’m also featuring some more decor items from the Draftsman Event, the ottoman by Revival and sofa, clock and cabinet by Q-Essentials. Other than the house the rest is made up of all the gacha pieces by (luc) boutique.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Happy Sunday! My post is very short as I don’t have much time before I have to finish getting ready to leave town until Tuesday. I will not be posting until my return as I am not taking a laptop for the short duration.

All the details are below, but showing all amazing things from designers/creators and events that I participate in. The newest event being featured today is Tres Chic, which opens up two days from now on 17th January.

Have a great rest of Sunday and see you sometime Wednesday!

PS — check out my latest addition to my family — is he not adorable? I haven’t named him yet, as I’m waiting for a name to gradually come to me.

We were having another cold spell where temperatures dropped into the chilly 30 plus degrees last night and it made me sort of lazy to jump into Second Life even though it was my 6th Rez Day. Instead I snuggled under covers and read. This meant I didn’t take any photos to blog and then when I attempted to log in today I found that they were doing maintenance so login was disabled for some.

In short, I finally made it in-world to put this scene together, process the photos and mark down credits, which I am leaving you to peruse as it’s close to dinner time.

I had good intentions to take the week between Christmas and the New Year to organize my inventory a little. It didn’t quite work out that way and it had more to do with not being in the right frame of mind to tackle such a project right now. Though it needs to happen fairly soon as I am getting ready to tip a number I never expected to reach and it really amazes me that I am still able to function.

I finally got around to opening some more of my arcade purchases and used a few pieces to go along with this bedroom furniture that is part of the “Gold & White” Gacha set by Bee Designs. It should be available at the main store or will be in a few days.

I hope to get one or two more posts in before the New Year and maybe then take a small break.

Lesson 37

On February 6, 2014 By AlexaIn Events, Home1 Comment

Maybe all we need in this world is a little more love. Enough said.

Lesson 37: Make Powerful Requests

Our ability to manifest the things we desire is in direct proportion to how powerfully and clearly we can state our requests. Some of us were taught that it’s impolite to make direct requests, so instead we manipulate, drop subtle hints, dance around a subject, or expect those around us to read our minds. What time and effort we could save if we would just learn to ask for what we want!

A powerful request is one that’s clear and specific and lets the listener know exactly what you want and by what time you want it. It’s not a demand, but an invitation to participate in your vision. Remember the words of Mahatma Gandhi: “If you don’t’ ask, you don’t get.”

To turn our visions into reality, we must cultivate the art of making powerful requests.

Your Self-Love Assignment

This week, acknowledge the areas in your life where you’re able to make powerful requests. In what situations or relationships are you able to clearly ask for what you need? With your clients or co-workers? With your children or friends?

Now notice the places where you’re unable to ask for what you need and identify what stops you from making powerful requests. Is it embarrassment? Fear of rejection? Lack of confidence?

Allow yourself to see what belief, thought, or fear you’d have to give up in order to clearly state your needs and desires.

And finally, identify two powerful requests you could make this week that would move you in the direction you want to go.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 150 points for every powerful request you make this week.
