It a wonderful book about slimming down and/or out things in your life.

Ahhh Christmas. I love this time of year in real life and in the online game of second life. My dear friend Julia Hathor has her holiday items out on her sim and they are as fabulous as always.
I can't tell you how much I think of her work. Simply stated, she is awesome!
I love second life for a variety of reasons but mostly because of the friends and camaraderie.

I absolutely love the message in this song. If I weren't a 60's baby, I would have spent my life wanting to be a 60's baby. I love this period in history and I especially love the music that was made during this time.
You simply have to love it! It always helps me.....

Well, I am back in the real world and it's as crazy as when I left for a vacation. You really have to make an effort to look for the good in others because there are those who apparently just don't care.
Picture this. I am going to the grocery store early in the morning to beat the traffic. As I am walking to the front door, a man comes running out.

This has been one of the most interesting summers I have ever had. It was filled with so many adventures. I have enjoyed my time off and feel extremely blessed.

This song is the perfect anthem for me. I have always lived by the words in this song. Fortunately, I grew up feeling like I was allowed to be me.
This song is song by someone young and you can tell simply by the way she is singing the song that she gets it. How very important I say.

I have a great idea for my next school year. I am so excited about this vision! I blame it all on the online game of Second Life. There, I have been allowed to create and dream. Two ingredients I needed to tap into to make this happen.

Well, I am having a lovely Second Life and I have been for a while now.
The online virtual game of Second Life does a wonderful job of entertaining me. This online game provides a solitude that quiets my spirit after a stressful or busy day.
I hang out in a place where I don't see others and that creates a perfect place of peace.

I entered a bucket list challenge and I was so happy to do so. I wrote and performed the intro to my video reponse and thought I would share it with you.
I had thrown my bucket list away and made peace with maybe somethings were just not going to happen for me.
The challenge gave me hope. It's okay to dream. It helps me.....

It has been a wonderful week at the beach. I feel so relaxed and happy.
What a wonderful teaser for what I hope will be a relaxing summer.
Sitting in a comfy chair with my mac and a tervis cup filled with a sugary treat is what I call a good time.
I noticed that I create better when I am relaxed and happy.

I had the most glorious day today. Our friends took my daughter and myself to Brook Green Gardens. It's an absolutely lovely sculpture garden. There are other things to enjoy as well but mostly I enjoy the sculptures.
In learning the history of the old rice plantations in the area, there are several events designed to teach the visitors.

I went on a tour this past weekend. It was incredible.
The houses on the tour were rice plantations. The history of the houses was thought provoking. I was so engaged that I did further research on many of the plantations.
When the rice plantations were "no more" they became huge hunting lodges for the most part.

It's such a joy to sit in the online game of Second Life and enjoy a sunset or sunrise. When I get home from what is usually a long day, I love to unwind by writing down my days journey and watching the water in Second Life.
It's wonderful, right? In real life and and second life beautiful is beautiful. These things help me to....

I can't wait for this weekend!
It's time to go open the beach cottage. I may be rushing things but it's time to get ready for the spring and summer.
I miss being at the beach so much and I can't wait to get there and relax.

This is probably one of my most favorite songs. I love the versions sung by Barbara Streisand and if the truth be told, I have no idea what it is about.
I do have several ideas but my ideas don't seem to have a central theme. The song then becomes, random. It's a random song that I love and have loved since I was very young.

I am one of those people who struggles with what to get for the special people in your life.
Yesterday was Valentine's Day. It happens to be one of my favorites as special days go.
Not only because of the chocolates but because I get to show my husband how much I love him.

I am very proud of my family. We are a very musical family and passionate about it.
My uncle was a gifted soul and from an early age he found his gift and was very keen on using it.
Still in his teens he sang with professional groups, The Crystals, and The Cadillacs. with his mothers permission.
He sang the song entitled, "I Feel So Bad".

I had the best time yesterday. I just had to hop on my blog and talk about it.
We don't have a Trader Joe's in my area. Very unfortunate, I know, but it is what it is. I won't even go there with how I feel about the people who make those decisions.
