Choices.

 “You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequence of your choice.” ~ A Universal Paradox

Bon

As I was looking at this picture and thinking of the choices of food before me.  It lead me to thinking of how we make choices in all areas of our life from food, to what we wear and to the people we allow in our lives.  Obviously, some decisions are easier than others and usually the harder ones are when your mind and heart wage a war between what you want and don’t want. These days I find myself contemplating the needs versus wants and readjusting my way of thinking in some areas.  Ultimately, maybe reminding ourselves of what we deserve helps put things in perspective to be able to choose wisely.

That’s just one complexity of life.

Here in Second Life one of the choices if we’re so inclined to play the gachas is choosing to take a chance on the item we want and when to stop playing before we spend lots of lindens.  Of course, I’m giving myself a pep talk as the Fantasy Gacha opens today.  🙂

The fool.

Juggler

Over the weekend the temperatures dipped into the mid 40s, which is a bit chilly for us Floridians when you’re used to an average of 80 plus degrees of sunshine.   It was a nice change even if I hardly went out other than a few times out of necessity. Besides the chilly day yesterday I was also in a very restless mood that as the day went on juggled between feeling emotional and downright grumpy. Thankfully, no one was harmed during this episode of changeability.

I spent a good amount of time doing inventory while in Second Life, not necessarily deleting, more like organizing and rewriting descriptions to be able to find items in the future.  It’s how I found myself wearing this cape and fools hat that were a gacha purchase at the recent round of the Fantasy Collective, which is still running for a few more days.

While editing the photo I did a quick search on the fool and found this snippet of information on what the fool means in a card reading.

“The Fool can signal a new beginning or change of direction – one that will guide you onto a path of adventure, wonder and personal growth. He also reminds you to keep your faith and trust your natural responses. If you are facing a decision or moment of doubt, the Fool tells you to believe in yourself and follow your heart no matter how crazy or foolish your impulses may seem.”

Considering that I have always found that when I’m feeling restlessness that it signals a time of transition in my life, this descriptive meaning couldn’t have fit any better.

Oh soul. You worry too much. You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less, why do you worry?
You are, in truth, the soul of the soul of the soul.

She’s that girl…

Viking Girl 2

She’s the girl that believes that what comes around goes around.  The one
that hopes for a better day.  The one that won’t give up on you.  She’s the girl
that’s unlike the rest.  The one that spent her days smiling, and her nights
crying.  She’s the girl that would love to be loved.  The one that looks so
damn strong, but feels so weak.  She’s the girl that picks herself up every time she falls.

I’m featuring this lovely vial necklace from Empyrean Forge that is available at The Fantasy Collective.   I am wearing the gold finish, but there are a couple other finishes as well.  With each finish  you get three versions: white, empty, and softly colored.  I’m also wearing a few other items from ongoing fantasy events, see the credits below for all the details.

Balance.

“Embrace the glorious mess that you are.” ~ Elizabeth Gilbert

038

I work in a community that has a diverse population of different nationalities, cultures and ways of living.  There is a long stretch of sidewalk that borders the state road that I travel in and out of work that goes from my office back into town. I was on my way out to meet a friend for lunch when I spotted this Haitian Creole woman walking towards the same direction I was heading with a steady pace.   This isn’t unusual, though what struck my attention is the 12 or maybe 16 oz. water bottle that sat in the middle at the top of her head.  It made me smile and its in those moments that I wished that I carried my camera to take a snapshot.

Seeing how perfect she balanced that bottle while she walked with her natural gait made me reflect a little on the subject of balance as I drove towards the restaurant.  Of how easy it is to lose our balance with situations and the circumstances that surround it.  I’ve always striven for a sense of calm and emotional balance in my life and most people who know me consider me a well balanced individual.  So that when I find myself being at odds with the unbalance in my life I start to withdraw inwards to that place of solitude that helps me gather my wits once again.

I can’t speak to balance when I walk ~be certain that if I’m ever walking along side you that I will bump into you.

Just remember that life is like a bicycle, in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving.

Sunshine

You know what’s really, powerfully sexy?
A sense of humor.  A taste for adventure.
A healthy glow.  Hips to grab on to.
Openness.  Confidence.
Humility.  Appetite.
Intuition.  Smart-ass comebacks.
Presence.  A quick wit.
Dirty jokes told by an innocent looking lady.
A woman who realizes how beautiful she is.

Cowboy Brunch

I hope someone is hungry, because you can’t pass up this scrumptious mouth watering food that Aphrodite Shops recently released with this western stable setting.   It has everything you need for a western party and if you eat too much, we’ll just get to doing a boot scootin’ boogie on the dance floor. Yeehaw!!
