Putting a Spring in my Step

Putting a Spring in my Step

I can see the future. I can predict without a shadow of a doubt that wine will play a huge part in my life during the next 8 hours. Those of you who follow, or my friends on facebook, know that this week has been extremely challenging with my youngest daughter being taken to hospital. [...]

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 [...]

The Future’s so Bright I’m Gonna Need Shades

I love Mondays...I've always loved Mondays.

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 [...]
