There But for the Grace of God Go I

Build Me Up Buttercup

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 [...]

Looking at the Stars to Save Me

Looking at the Stars to Save Me

SL is often an escape for people. Over the last year it's become less so for me and more a place for collaborative working on projects. Sometimes though I need SL to just be pure escapism. When real life stresses are at the point where a switch needs to turn off and I can immerse [...]

We’re on a Road to Nowhere

We’re on a Road to Nowhere

Or are we on a road to something else entirely? I made a couple of new friends this weekend in Second Life and it got me thinking about those important first IM's. I, like many people, nearly always ignore just 'hi' or 'hey' ims but if a first IM intrigues me or asks a question [...]

He's a good looking chap for sure! In the Red corner we have Christmas! Weighing in at a measly 'week' but spreading out into a [...]

Sorry I’m not home right now, I’m walking into spiderwebs

One of my favourite No Doubt songs inspired my picture for today's outfit. I'm finally starting to get some time to catch up with my favourite events so first thing I did was make a beeline for N21.  N21 is dangerous on the pocket. As you would expect with larger events you won't find everything to [...]
