Want a chance at building your own log home? The [Den] has made that possible with this new LinkEm Log set. It’s a full mesh building kit with all the pieces to make your own log home at any size you want. Each piece is about 1-2 land impact and to help keep those prims low, just link all the pieces when you’re done with your creation. You can find the building set at this new round of Uber.

After talking about dogs, chef, cranky men, sleet and snow with a friend yesterday I got inspired to do one more scene with snow.

I finally finished decorating my new home, which is a small cottage that is all open space. Something different and can be a bit of a challenge to decorate when you have no separation of rooms. It’s also the first time that I have a home without a bathroom. I’m tempted to put an outhouse in the back and a small outdoor shower. I’m odd in this way, that I feel a bit unsettled without those amenities. I know. Just call it my own peculiarity. This time around my decor is shabby chic intermixed with Christmas decor in the typical season of living in Florida — all green no snow. Maybe I’ll get to taking pictures soon to show it.

Lesson 47

On May 1, 2014 By AlexaIn Events8 Comments

While I enjoy this lesson and have given it contemplation and could probably identify several choices that haven’t been in my best interest. I can’t help and remember the fortune cookie that I received today at lunch and feel much more inclined to take the wisdom in it as part of this lesson. It read,“How can you have a beautiful ending without making beautiful mistakes.”

Lesson 47: Feed Your Internal Flame

Have you ever wondered why certain people light up a room when they walk in? Why do some of us have the clarity to envision an inspiring future and the courage to go after our dreams? You may think it’s a result of charisma or determination, or just plain old good luck. But I’ve come to understand that it’s the strength of our life force – that unique inner power that keeps us alive spiritually and physically – that gives us the stamina to translate our dreams into realities.

You can think of your life force as a flame that lives inside you, giving you passion, strength, and energy. Every choice you make either adds to this force, making it stronger and brighter, or diminishes your inner force, reducing its power.

Your assignment this week is to make choices that feed your flame.

Your Self-Love Assignment

Look back over the past 30 days of your life and allow yourself to see the choices you made and the actions you took that diminished or dampened your inner flame. Did you overwork, overeat, over commit, or overspend?

Now ask yourself, “What actions could I take in the week to come that will feed my internal fire and leave me feeling great about myself?”

Commit to taking one action each day that will keep your internal fire blazing.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 50 points for every action you take that feeds your internal flame.

Lesson 44 & C is for…

On April 3, 2014 By AlexaIn Challenges, HomeLeave a comment

I am going to combine my weekly lesson with the Alphabet Challenge just to make things easier for me and I’m feeling a bit lazy.

Today’s letter is C and I picked to go with this hair from CaTwA and dressed myself in a top from Cold Logic and pants from Coco. That’s not all. I added earrings from Chop Zuey and shoes from Candy Doll. It was a bit of a struggle to find a pose this time around so I just choose one at random and tweaked it a little with Animare and while it looks like I’m about to jump off a bridge — it’s more like feeling on the edge. 🙂

Yep, I think that completes the letter of the day.

Hope this lesson gives you as much thought as it has me.

Lesson 44: What is Your Story?

Each of us has a story – a personal drama – that’s uniquely ours. Our story is the identity we’ve created that we now believe ourselves to be. Our stories define our limitations, telling us what we can and cannot do; and how much love, success, and happiness we’re entitled to. The stories we tell ourselves about who we are either open us up to new possibilities for happiness and fulfillment or they shut us down. Whenever we’re struggling, or not getting the results we want, we can be certain that we’re living inside a story that doesn’t serve us.

The good news is, you’re not only the star of your drama, you’re the creator of it. If you don’t like what’s showing up on the screen of your life, you’re the one with the power to change it.

Your Self-Love Assignment

1. Choose an area of your life where you’ve been struggling, where you’re unhappy, or where you feel like you’re not getting your needs met.

2. Begin to distinguish the story you tell yourself about this part of your life. What role are you playing within this story? Are you the victim? The villain? The damsel in distress?

3. Next, ask yourself, “What internal or external shift would I have to make in order to become the hero of this story?”

4. Commit to taking the actions you see.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 100 points for identifying the role you’ve been playing in the story of your life, and an additional 150 points for shifting your role from victim to hero.
