How to Lose Friends and Alienate People – A Facebook Story

  Facebook is a powerful tool for promotion for businesses, bloggers, personalities...you name it Facebook can be used to help promote it. Used incorrectly it can have quite the opposite effect than that which the user initially intended. A lot of us refer to the facebook we use with our second life avatars as 'SL [...]

The Feathered Friends That Let you Fly

The Feathered Friends That Let you Fly

Ah, there's a bit of a play on words there because 'birds' is a colloquial term used in the UK for females. I have many talented, beautiful and amazing women in my SL and I feel extremely blessed for that fact. My closest friend circle includes 4 outstanding women...Tracy Redangel, Sadystika Sabretooth, Grace Sixpence and [...]

Shine On Harvey Moon…shine

During the 70's my parents followed the fashion of homebrewing. The airing cupboard was full of fermenting buckets and bottles and stuff that smelled frankly terrible.

Don’t Stop Dreaming Just Because You Had a Nightmare

Don’t Stop Dreaming Just Because You Had a Nightmare

It's easy to let a bad experience shape our decisions in the future. I'll be the first to say that we should take the learnings from the bad experiences into anything new and be wary but I also am a great believer in never saying never because you just don't know who or what is [...]

Choosing Wisely

Choosing Wisely

The problem with knowing if you made the right decision about something is that you never know until it's too late. Whatever you did either succeeds or fails. Now, failure isn't always a bad thing...we learn from failures sometimes even more so than from the successes in life. Entrepreneurial Flair My boss at MadPea...the Queen [...]

Friends For All Seasons

Friends For All Seasons

On Sunday I posted on my facebook account about how I had been feeling for the last couple of weeks and why my friends had seen some changes in my behaviour...specifically me pulling away from their friendship for a time. I have never found it easy to discuss my feelings and that was part of [...]
