Y’all Need Jesus

Y’all Need Jesus

I've talked before about forgiveness. It's one of those things I wish I was better at for no other reason than people I know who are able to forgive easily tell me it makes them feel better.  They tell me that they forgive for themselves not for other people. I was joking with a friend [...]

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 [...]

I've never been very good at getting things 'off my chest'. I've often kept thoughts and feelings bottled up inside me because I didn't want to encumber anyone else with my negativity or because I've been worried about the reaction. I'm very capable of letting my mind think of the very worst case scenario and [...]

As We Walk in Fields of Gold

I introduced a friend to the music, and the story, of Eva Cassidy a while ago and I've had it in my mind since I first saw this beautiful field of radiant colour at the Yorkshire Dales a couple of months ago to use the space for a picture. So...voilà! I loved the Yorkshire Moors [...]

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 [...]

My Name is…My Name is…My Name is…Kess Crystal

My Name is…My Name is…My Name is…Kess Crystal

Over the last week or so I've been researching the names of some male bloggers for a project I'm working on at MadPea. Many of them I knew already, or followed on facebook, or followed their blog. But I wanted to send them a notecard in world and therefore needed their SL name in order [...]
