Falling

Falling

That split second when you're off kilter, teetering on the edge...you could recover and find yourself back upright and steady or you could fall, completely and hopelessly.  You're weighing up the options. What's the worst that can happen if you just let go and see what happens. Will someone or something be there to break [...]

One Day My Prince Will Come

One Day My Prince Will Come

The phrase 'you gotta kiss a lot of frogs' before you find the prince never much appealed to me in real life let alone in SL. In SL you're expected to go a lot further than kissing before your prince will reveal himself and that doesn't much appeal to me either.  I'm not judging. If [...]

Hit The Road to Hippie Heaven

Back to rl work after a couple of days today and I'm actually looking forward to it. I don't hate my job fortunately. If I don't like something I move on from it but I'm lucky enough to work in the National Health Service in the UK which is the, quite rightly, the envy of [...]

Look for the Bare Necessities

Look for the Bare Necessities

Everyone's a critic! I've noticed it a lot this week in Second Life particularly. Now, I believe constructive criticism is important. To self-critique ourselves and our work is vital if we want to improve either as people or to create better products or services. But there is a chasm of difference between feedback and just [...]

Move Over Rosie…I’m the Queen of Corona!

Move Over Rosie…I’m the Queen of Corona!

A couple of weeks ago I got a facebook message from my bestie Tackett "OMG! ME AND JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOLYARD MENTIONS THE QUEEN OF CORONA" Both of us bust up laughing. "Paul Simon wrote a song about meeeeeeeeeeee" I replied. I met Tackett in SL in 2012 and we clicked instantly and over [...]
