Fairy Tales.

Did a couple more pictures showcasing some items that can be found soon at the newest round of “All The Little Things” event that will feature items for the toddleedoo that will start April 5th.

The theme for this round is fairy tales, so I had a little fun creating these scenes to go along with it.

Lesson 52

On June 26, 2014 By AlexaIn Events, Role-PlayLeave a comment

“A grownup is a child with layers on.” ~ Woody Harrelson

This is the last lesson in the 52 weeks course of “The Best Year of Your Life” and I want to thank everyone who shared the lessons with me. I hoped they served to be useful, encouraging and guided you in areas you might have been needing guidance on. For me personally, they have been timely messages I needed to hear and others served as reminders for things I had forgotten as life happens.

The last lesson deals with going back to the basics and for me sometimes it’s a reminder to honor that inner child in me.

Lesson 52: Go Back to the Basics

From the author Debbie Ford…

I trained in martial arts for three years, and one thing I was continually struck by is how much time we spent in each class focusing on the basics. “Without mastering the basics,” my instructor would say, “you can never move on to more advanced techniques.”

How do you create the best year of your life? Pay attention to the basics. Have compassion for yourself. Take time to go within. Set measurable goals. Do what you say you’re going to do. Appreciate what you have.

Take this week to focus on the basics. Strive to make each of these practices a regular part of your lifestyle, and the best year of your life will unfold naturally.

Your Self-Love Assignment

It’s time for a refresher course on the skills you’ve learned so far during this course. Look back over the past few weeks and note the following:

Are you compassionate with yourself, even when you make mistakes?
Have you broken agreements with yourself or others that you need to clean up?
Have you set goals or committed to action steps that you haven’t fulfilled?
Are you nourishing your physical body with proper food, rest, and exercise?
Are you taking time each day to go within?

Make a list of any of the basic skills you’ve been neglecting. Then create a plan of action to reintroduce them back into your daily schedule.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 100 points for each basic skill you reintroduce into your daily routine.

K & L is for… (challenge)

On April 12, 2014 By AlexaIn Challenges, Events, Home, Landscaping4 Comments

I am playing catch up today with the alphabet challenge doing both the letters K & L combined. For the first letter I decided to feature this green meadow yellow poppy grass from KIDD, one of my favorite places for landscaping stuff. Then featuring these tall and mature oak trees from Lilith Heart, another favorite place for landscaping items.

These horses are a purchase from today’s 30 L Saturday, they are a static herd of four horses at 8 prims. They are no copy, but for 30L a steal in my opinion. I couldn’t resist buying a few in the event I ever decided to get a ranch in-world again.

For my L letter I decided to feature poses from two stores, Label Motion and Lib Descent Poses and also these blue jeans from Lapointe & Bastchild. I could also count my letter as “landscaping”. 🙂

Lesson 33

On January 9, 2014 By AlexaIn Events, Home7 Comments

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I love many of her quotes, because they embody such strength and are always full of wisdom.

Lesson 33: Choose Powerful Interpretations

Despite how it seems, it’s never the events of our lives that cause us pain or suffering. It’s what we make those incidents mean about us that either builds or diminishes our self-love. Having someone not return your smile or your phone call, for example, may not necessarily upset you, but how you interpret these situations will very likely influence the way you feel about yourself.

Each interpretation we make either adds to the quality of our life or takes away from it. This week, choose powerful interpretations!

Your Self-Love Assignment

Think of one situation or circumstance from your past that you’ve deemed painful, embarrassing, or hurtful. Notice how you interpreted this event by examining what you made it mean about you.

Now invent three positive interpretations of this occurrence that would leave you feeling powerful and strong, rather than weak and victimized.

Pick the interpretation that makes you feel the best about yourself – the one that most nurtures your soul and feeds your self-love.

Write this interpretation down on a sticky note or an index card, and read it to yourself every day this week.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 50 points every time you choose a powerful interpretation.

Dreamlife…

On October 2, 2013 By AlexaIn Events, Home, Landscaping3 Comments

I’m feeling a little thoughtful this morning.

First, I’m smiling thoughtfully as I wonder what to write today and I’m sitting here saying good morning to my in-world sis, where it’s evening for her. I always know her time just by adding two hours and reversing the AM to PM. It’s the only way I’ve ever been able to keep up with this dreadful time zone difference between us.

I am a bit tired, and that’s after having at minimum six hours of sleep. Though I was having a complex agitating type of dream, one that leaves you wondering where did that come from. When I awake from a dream I generally feel more exhausted than when I sent to sleep. Over time I have adjusted. I’m a dreamer and always have been. I’ve worked out or rather concluded after considerable amount of paying attention that if I can remember the dream than it’s a dream of importance and it’s meaningful to me in some way and if I can’t remember than it’s usually just one of those random ones.

This one is so not random and did I say I’m tired?
