Time for a little rest – Featuring Bee Designs and Ariskea

Those of you who have been following along for the past few months know that my health has once again taken an unexpected turn, causing me to blog less and to have to take more time away for appointments and to just rest.  With a heavy heart I have decided to step away from the…

The time of the year when a perfect cup of hot cocoa hits the spot.

I started this post one way this morning, and now by early afternoon my mood has completely changed and I decided to talk about something else entirely!  I know the rest of the country has already had snow, and it’s starting to feel a bit like Winter for you all, but here in the mountains…

Home is where… Featuring Kaerri @ Swank, De(c)ocrate, Fancy Decor, The Loft and Scarlet Creative

This week has literally been FILLED with doctor’s appointments for myself and for the kids, which means I have put over 200 miles on the car in 4 days and I feel like I haven’t had a moment to sit and breathe!  But yesterday brought great news in regards to my health, so that is…

Remember, YOU are the fairest of them all! – Featuring Bee Designs @ Enchantment

For years now I have been thankful that I didn’t have a girl to try and raise in this world with all the fat shaming and body hating that seems to enter into every facet of our lives.  I have been thin, I have been heavy, I have been fit and I have been somewhere…

A perfect place to unwind after a long day. Featuring Bee Designs, Petit Chat, and unKindness

Recently I decided to start over from scratch on my land and bought a new house and new outdoor landscaping, however the house has been sitting empty and I honestly didn’t even know where to begin.  I have so many beloved pieces and new things I have picked up over the last six months, and…

Those wonderfully long Arabian Nights – Featuring Bee Designs @ Enchantment

If you are all like me, the moment I hear the words “Arabian Nights”, Robin Williams is suddenly singing in my head and I am once again caught up in the magic of Aladdin.  It’s not uncommon for me to randomly break out in song lyrics when situations or words come up, so I was…

A perfect spot to relax for a Bohemian like me! – Zen Creations, Six o’clock!, unKindness, junk, Scarlet Creative

As most of you know I recently cut down my number of sponsors because there are only so many hours in a day and with me still without internet at home, I just can’t seem to keep up.  Without the pressure I felt a bit of freedom and actually had time to do a little…

A quiet space – unKindness, Ariskea, Serenity Style, Bee Designs, The Crossroads, The Liaison Collaborative, Collabor88

I recently made a new friend via Facebook, who happens to also be on Second Life, and I have come to realize that after so many years online, I am awkward and jaded when it comes to new people.  Now granted I have always been a bit jaded, thus my name, but it wasn’t until…

Psst….don’t bother to look for me today, I am playing hookey! – Serenity Style, unKindness, Aphrodite and CIRCA

Do you ever have those days where you would much rather runaway with your friends than do work?  Today is one of those days for me and I am having the hardest time getting motivated to work!  I have been gone so long that I have missed months of my friends lives and all I…

When Second Life and Real Life Collide

For the first time in all my years online I have a real life boyfriend who happens to be incredibly supportive of what I do, which I am truly thankful for but lately, with it being Summer, my posts find me with far less clothes on than normal and today I had, in my opinion,…

Taking a break from the winds of change to remind myself to breathe

For those of you who have been following my blog for a bit, you know I HATE change in any form, whether for good or bad.  I am like a dog that hates to be walked on a leash; ass end down with claws digging into the ground refusing to be moved.  Recently, however, I…

“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…
