This is my time to learn and grown, to shed the skin of my past and fly free!

I am not usually a resolution maker at midnight on New Years Eve, but this year I decided to jump on the band wagon and made one that I thought could be easily done.  So I told myself this was going to be the year of learning.  Now I was thinking primarily of Second Life when I made that resolution, as this is also the year I would like to open a shop, but I didn’t expect the “learning” to be a part of my life in general.  In the past 7 months however, I have come to find out that every part of my life would be put through a learning curve, so to speak, and that all I can do is hold on for the ride.  On a personal and professional level I wanted to grow this year and to take chances on myself, with myself.  From that I have found an entire new world open up with tons of possibilities and I have become a firm believer in setting goals.  For me, it is one of those things that if you think it enough, it will manifest itself.  Whether it be true love, a new business, or just better health, if you believe enough that you deserve it, you will find what you need.  But isn’t that the BIG dilemma?  Wants and needs…..sometimes what you want, isn’t what you need and sometimes what you need, isn’t what you thought you wanted.  When you are faced with such a moment, do yourself a favor and shed your skin and fly free into a new and unknown world, who knows what will be waiting for you on the other side!

I think I have a serious problem with shopping!  When I got back, with all the goodies that have been piling up, what did I do?  I went shopping!  Well it was the first of the month meaning there were all kinds of events starting that I just HAD to go check out!  My first stop was FaMESHed, which with the new computer it loaded fast AND I could walk around when it was full, and I found all kinds of goodies, including this gorgeous ensemble which you can pick up at the event, other than the hair.  I love the new slip dress from Valentina E, and it comes in a variety of colorful patterns, perfect for your Summer night soirees, especially matched up with this precious new jewelry collection from Cae and these fabulous heels from Pure Poison, which happen to have an amazing color change HUD.  Since I have finished my backyard area now, I literally changed into this outfit and plopped into the chair to stare out at the water for a bit when I realized how perfect the pose was for my mood.  I feel free now that I have shed the skin of my past, and along with it my scars, leaving a blank slate to start afresh with learning, living and loving!
