Friends That Inspire Me

Friends That Inspire Me

The ways that we are inspired by others can be in such small, but nevertheless meaningful ways or in life-changing ways. The hair I'm wearing today I saw on several blogs and was inspired to go and buy it. A small thing in the big picture of life but those bloggers and the designer made [...]

Beep Beep n Beep Beep Yeah!

Beep Beep n Beep Beep Yeah!

There's been an incident this week of someone passing off, or seemingly attempting to pass off, someone else's photographs as their own work by re-posting pictures to flickr under their own name.

Black and Gold

I have always loved taking photos in Second Life long before I was a blogger. Photography always came first and taking photos out in the 'wilds' of SL which is why you very rarely see a 'studio' shot from me in my blogs. I enjoy finding sims and places to pose and take photographs, then [...]

Looking Forward and Back Again

On Monday I wrote a post before I went to work about the Book of Daniel event which is a fundraiser for the co-owner of Zerkalo who is going through the fight of his life against cancer. I pressed the button and published and then got in the car to travel the short distance to [...]

Chase the Fallen Leaves

I haven't met anyone, in real life, or in SL that doesn't love Autumn. As some of you know I DJ on Fridays at Blithe and Harlow, the owner of the sim has been hard at work giving the sim a more autumnal feel. Who doesn't like to feel warm and cozy? Autumn, the year's [...]

If You Think You Can, or You Think You Can’t, You’re Right

Henry Ford's phrase "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right." has been at the top of my mind this morning as I watch the overnight news from the Rio Paralympics. Dame Sarah Storey becomes the first female British paralympian to win 12 gold medals as [...]

Let the Shadows Fall Behind You

Let the Shadows Fall Behind You

I admit to being a bit of an 'ostrich' and burying my head in the sand especially when it comes to real life issues but it can also be true when dealing with uncomfortable situations in Second Life too.  I can be prone to procrastination on real life tasks etc mainly because there is much [...]
