Memories

It’s kind of hard to be cheerful when you go to bed hearing of the terror and tragedy that has struck in London and wake up and knowing it wasn’t a bad dream. Today I will just leave it here and send my thoughts and prayers to victims and their families and all the British people.

What’s that rumble?

On December 16, 2014 By AlexaIn Events, General, Home, Role-Play3 Comments

I was going for the surprised shocked look of a child hearing the rumble coming through the fireplace except that due to a malfunction of sorts the Emoter HUD got stuck on two emotions at the same time and gave me this smile shocked expression instead. This is why I have instead an impatient fearless child that anticipates Santa is about to arrive.

Some of the creators that participated at The Arcade during this round were very generous with their gifts that you can find under the large Christmas tree that sits in the middle of the Arcade. Two of my favorite items were the milk and chocolate milk bottles and the plate of ginger pig cookies, which is just like one of our Mexican pastries that looks exactly the same just a bit thicker. They are called “Marranitos,” which translated means little piggies.

You had me from hello.

On October 9, 2014 By AlexaIn Events2 Comments

It’s pretty late here and I should be in bed already, though I am wide awake and feeling a state of uneasiness that I can’t precisely explain. Though before I start to rattle off my thoughts I first want to mention this stone arch, falling leaves, stones and well from Kalopsia. They will be available at the Mystic Realms Faire that officially opens on Friday, October 1oth. It’s a lovely set that will compliment many landscape settings. The hair that I am wearing is called Sancia and is from Damselfy and also going to be at the faire as well as what I am wearing from OrsiniRed. The names of all the items are provided in the credits below.

For whatever reason or maybe for reasons I don’t want to even touch in my head I’ve been listening to Keney Chesney’s song, “You Had Me From Hello” for the last two nights. I don’t listen to country music all that much anymore, even if it’s a genre that I flip to from time to time. Though this song is one that I have liked ever since I first listened to it – everything from the lyrics to the tone of the music. Maybe because it reminds of a time months ago when I reached out to a complete stranger and my life took a different turn, even if my first words were not actually hello.

On another note I don’t often toot my own horn and find myself a little on the uneasy side when publicly recognized and given praise for something I might have done. Though lets face it receiving a compliment or a recognition still makes us feel good inside. When I first began to blog it was about exploring my interest to write and to document my journey in Second Life even if I had no idea what it would be. I was just enjoying the wonderment of this crazy virtual world and it was all a big wonder for a girl who had never even played a video game. Over time I have evolved into a fashion and a home decor blogger and generally a photographer of sorts. So as a blogger every time I get a new follower it gives me a good feeling and motivates me to do even better, so thank you to each and everyone of you that stops and reads or looks at my photos.

I strayed away from where I started with not tooting my own horn, and where I was going with that was just exactly that. Toot. A couple of days ago I received an email in my Flickr that one of my pictures had been selected for a group cover photo, see Magical World. I didn’t think of it as a big deal and this would be the first time I’m even mentioning it to anyone or the fact that this would be my second photo selected for a group cover. Yep, I’m modest that way. The previous photo was one that I took disco dancing and was selected as the cover photo for the group [CIRCA], which was recently replaced with a new cover photo.

Here is a bit of coincidence that I’ll leave my last thoughts on. As I was just thinking of how long this journey would last considering that my wonderment has diminished, especially in the last several weeks I took a glance at my profile to see when I actually started. That day was January 8, 2011 and the day I reached out to a total stranger was this year on January 8th.

Catching Fireflies

“I am but a firefly caught in his jar and when he looks at me, I can’t help but glow.” ~ Kellie Elmore

I haven’t done a post with my child alt in quite a while. Mostly due to the fact that I don’t have my laptop anymore, which I used to log her in.

Trying to log in both using my desktop lags me completely almost to a standstill. Thanks to my Selene, my sis in-world, she helped me out today by posing as Sydney.

Lesson 49

On May 15, 2014 By AlexaIn EventsLeave a comment

Lesson 49: Have Faith

At every moment – and especially in times of challenge – each of us is confronted with an important choice. Will we react out of fear, or will we choose instead to be guided out of faith? While fear can be an important messenger that signals us to pay attention, faith gives us strength and reassurance and leaves us bathed in the wisdom that we’re never alone.

Surrendering to faith is an act of courage. It’s saying, “Even though I feel scared or I’m not sure where I’m going, I trust that all will turn out in my highest and best interests.” When we make choices rooted in faith, we trust that there’s a power, an unseen force, guiding us. Faith gives us the ability to look beyond our immediate circumstances and imagine brave new choices for the future.

Your Self-Love Assignment

Identify an area in your life where you’re being held back by fear. Close your eyes and ask yourself, “What is the message that y fear is trying to give me? What action would fear like me to take in order to protect myself?”

Next, notice if there’s any area in your life that could benefit from a little more faith. Do you have enough faith to ask for what you need? Do you have enough faith to take a risk that may improve your situation? Allow yourself to see what actions you could take this week to build your faith muscle, and commit to taking them.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 50 points every time you choose faith over fear.
