“Love is not in our choice but in our fate.” John Dryden

For many years now I have firmly believed that love is an ever elusive creature, hard to catch and even harder to keep.  Once upon a time I had my fairy tale wedding with lofty dreams of a beautiful forever that was crushed by the darkness of abuse.  Though I have been in a couple…

“Now I’ve been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is. Why must we go on hating, why can’t we live in bliss? Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train. Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again.” Cat Stevens

Not sure if you noticed or not yesterday in my post that I seemed to have something on my mind, the truth is, I do, but I have no idea how to actually go about discussing it.  A message I received yesterday has me in a very pensive mood in regards to relationships, the outer…

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…

“So what you wanna know Calamity’s child?”

I remember when I was younger my Mom often quoted lines from “Rebel Rebel” by David Bowie to me and I can say I was a fan long before I really understood his genius.  Before I left on my leave of absence for surgery I had wanted to do a post to honour the man…

I can call you anytime, I’ve “Got Your Number” – Chop Zuey, NoName

For years now in the top fashion magazines from around the world quite often the advertisements for jewelry included scantily clad women, after all, isn’t the old adage “sex sells”?  Whenever I get a piece of jewelry on Second Life that I want to show off my first instinct is to immediately head towards something…

A simple stroll on the beach

Hello everyone!  A brand new round of ReVamped, a Models Giving Back Production, benefiting the National Breast Cancer Foundation, has begun bringing a new twist to the typical sales event on Second Life.  Designers have taken a previous release and have “revamped” it, either turning something an old prim item to mesh, adding mesh body…

Classic styling with a modern twist from Amarelo Manga

As we have talked about previous posts, if I could live in an era it would have been the 1920’s but I have never talked about my second choice, which would have been the 50’s to early 1960’s at the height of the Chanel suit.  The classic lines created all those years ago continue today…

Keep watching, I’m still working on my masterpiece

I have a little story to share with you all about an absolutely wonderful experience I have had on flickr recently.  As bloggers and photographers we constantly strive to be better and to learn new tricks and to gain more and more knowledge as we grow.  Part of this development is to be accepted into…

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. Audrey Hepburn

Every year, for almost as long as I can remember now, I have spent the early days of March cultivating baby plants in the windows of my home.  As the tiny seeds sprout above the soil, raising their heads to the sun, a promise is made for the coming of Spring and the bounty of…

We’re runnin’ out of moonlight

It’s getting late and the moon is rising high in the sky, time is flying away from us as we travel down this winding, wild road together.  As I stare into your eyes I am reminded of a song and I can’t stop thinking of how it applies tonight.  Just you and I, runnin’ out…

Feeling a bit chic this Easter weekend in Amarelo Manga

With all of the distractions as of late my neck, upcoming surgery, the start of a new but familiar relationship, I actually forgot about Easter being this weekend!  Which for me is really strange, because my son and I still hid eggs last year, from each other, all over the house and yard.  Needless to…
