Disco Fever…

On July 1, 2014 By AlexaIn Uncategorized6 Comments

“Disco is music for dancing, and people will always want to dance.” ~ Giorgio Moroder

I grew up in the disco era even though I probably have more affinity with music from the 80s as I was into my teens then. Some of the songs from the late 70s that I remember listening to were YMCA, Funky Town, Stayin’ Alive, I will survive, The Hustle and Get Down Tonight and many more. Songs that when I hear today still bring a smile and get me to tapping or moving my body to the rhythm.

[Circa] has brought many wonderful fun memories back with this fun “Disco Tech” set and accompanying accessories. The bar room set includes the bar with standing animations, the stools that also have animations for both male and female and pendant light, palm tree planters and display props.

There are two sets of dance floors, the Sunset Drive or the Rainbow. To complete your set there are the hanging albums for decor that spin and the “Groovy Glam” portal wall seats that have 18 lounging animations and a choice of six colors at the touch of the menu.

You can find all these items at the latest event called the Rhapsody, which is based on all kinds of music with the current chosen theme being Disco and runs through July 12th.

Coastal “Sea Shell” Chairs

“If you only knew how much those little moments with you mattered to me.” ~ Reminiscingourmoments | Tumblr

Today I want to share these new chairs that Heart Homes/Aphrodite Shops recently released. There is a chair for a man and one for a woman, because the animations and props are made for each. A choice of seven fabrics that you could choose from and fourteen animations in each chair. What I like about these chairs is that when you choose a certain animation that comes with a prop a box comes up inviting you to accept and when you do the prop automatically gets positioned in place. It’s not a new technology though I do like seeing it in furniture items as it won’t add another item into your inventory when accepting a prop.

I want to introduce someone who has been in several of my blog posts and to date I have not mentioned anything about him. He is not my male alt that I have used in past blog posts, rather he is someone who has become a close friend and an important part of my life. His name is Draco. He deserves to be mentioned and not only just for always being so agreeable to pose with me. Though the rest I’ll keep between him and me. 🙂

The end, sometimes…

On October 12, 2013 By AlexaIn Exploring4 Comments

I had read in a couple of blogs and been told that World’s End Garden would be closing on the 18th of October. This wasn’t a place I was familiar with, so I made a note to visit before it’s eventual end. Upon landing, I immediately saw the draw of this place. The magical beauty of the colors and flowers and the tranquility and serenity of such a peaceful scene of the cross. I couldn’t help but think of an angelic picture.

I tried the black wings, though they just didn’t go well with me. At least not today. 🙂

Lesson 16

On September 12, 2013 By AlexaIn Events, Home2 Comments

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore

When I read this week’s lesson my thoughts were, “ohhh so true”, and I really can’t wait to actually do the assignment. It might not look good at the end when you recognize those choices you made that created situations in your life that were frustrating and caused you anxiety and stress. They may even pinpoint self forming destructive patterns in our lives. Right off the bat I can think of several choices I made over the last year that were done out of fear. So this lesson really speaks to me this week.

Lesson 16: The Power of Choice

Most of us have lost sight of the relationship between our choices, our actions, and the outcomes we experience. But our lives as they exist right now are the result of every choice we’ve made up to this point. The choices we make – today, tomorrow, and every day this year – will either keep us stuck repeating the patterns of our past or they’ll move us powerfully toward the best year of our lives.

By becoming responsible for the choices we make, we take our destiny into our own hands.

Your Self-Love Assignment

Reflect on an area of your life where you’d like to create a different result. Write down exactly what you would like to change in this area.

Now make a list of all the choices you’ve made in the past 12 months that were in direct opposition to the fulfillment of this desire. Allow yourself to see the choices you made that disempowered you, that came from a place of fear, and that were unconscious or self-sabotaging.

Finally, identify two choices you can make this week that will move you closer to the result you desire.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 50 points for every choice you make that leads you in the direction of your goals.

When nothing goes right, Go left.

On April 21, 2013 By AlexaIn ExploringLeave a comment

I have this quirk that when I’m faced with having to make a choice between going right or left and there is no clear directions leading the way. It is almost obligatory for me to go right, because how can you go wrong when you’re always having to do the right thing, make the right choice and so it’s only right to take a right, right?

Now that I am rightly confused I’m off to get a bite to eat in the Small Town of Green.

After satisfying the hunger pains I headed to do a little exploring.
