Paradise by the Poolside Lights

Paradise by the Poolside Lights

I'm not going to be writing a huge amount today.  As some of you know from previous posts my daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's disease last year and hasn't responded very well to the treatments she's had so far. Today is surgery day...she's having a section of her bowel removed. It's a fairly common operation [...]

The Road Less Traveled

The Road Less Traveled

The main reason I started blogging a couple of years ago was as an outlet for a lot of difficult to deal with emotions that I couldn't express to anyone in Second Life. I recognised that I needed to process them somehow and my blog became an outlet. I'm fast approaching the 2 year mark [...]

On my Shopping list…

On my Shopping list…

Although it's a fairly well known quirk of mine to love Mondays...I do love a Friday too. As I use Monday to look forward to what can be achieved in the week ahead, Friday is the day when you look back and give yourself a pat on the back for everything you completed and achieved. [...]

It’s not just a place…it’s home

It’s not just a place…it’s home

I think it's possible I've rezzed, partially decorated and de rezzed upwards of 20 different houses in the last few months. That is about to change. The main issue was that I was using houses on a platform on my sim TaKe Heart which meant I had to be frugal with prims and I'm not [...]

Starry Starry Night, Paint Your Palette Blue and Grey

  One of the subjects I wish I had studied more at school is art. I really wasn't very good at it and later on in secondary school the choices were art and drama and I went for drama as I had always considered myself to be a budding actress. As a very young child [...]

If You Could Read Me Like a Book

If You Could Read Me Like a Book

I was wondering today what the cover of the book of my life would look like. They say you can't judge a book by it's cover but as someone who spent a few years working in book publishing sales and marketing I know just how important the cover of a book is to grabbing the [...]

The Calm Before the Storm

The Calm Before the Storm

As it is for a lot of people, it's my last day at rl work today until the New Year and I am so completely and utterly ready for the break. The first few days won't really be much of a break with last minute preparations for Christmas and then two solid days of visiting [...]

Time Passes. Listen. Time Passes

Time Passes. Listen. Time Passes

With everything going on in the world it's a joy to have a safe haven in SL. Somewhere that is peaceful and quiet and a million miles away from the fears and stress of real life. This is a new area that I've put together on my sim TaKe Heart which is hopefully just that [...]
