After the busy last week it was good to be able to just take it easy and relax without having any commitments to do anything or go anywhere.  Sometimes it really is great just to do nothing.  I wanted to share some more pictures of my little corner in this virtual world.  A place of peace and tranquility.  I named it the Wildlife Sanctuary because of the wildlife that I have roaming around.

The reason I created this place was to show a little of the beauty and wonder we have in my home state of Florida.   I was inspired by another location in-world that also has swampy waters and gators.   Plus I was ready for something different.

“Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it’s beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein

I love nature and wish I had more affinity for the sweltering heat that we get here so that I can enjoy it more.   So enjoying it in-world in air condition is second best though quite comfy.   I have decided to leave it open for the time that it may be up.» View author and full post…

One of the greater aspects of SecondLife is the ability to immerse ourselves in the many different cultures that are in this world and share in each other’s diversities.  I think one of the ways to do that is in wearing some of the clothes that are representative of another country.

If you allow yourself that opportunity, you might find that we are not as unusual to each other when it comes to the greater good even while there may be a vast difference in our views, religion and likes in food, fashion and life style.

Personally in wearing the fashions from other cultures it helps me in my quest to be more tolerable towards our differences and helps me gain a better understanding of what I can do in bridging that dividing gap among people from different walks of life and nationalities.

When I saw this dress I fell in love with the color scheme and the simplicity in the design, not to mention that it was priced extremely reasonable and it comes in several colors.  I took the picture in Bluebell Fields, the home of Editorial Clarity, who has a passion for Interior Design.   He currently has his place open for viewing until Monday.» View author and full post…

There is a concept known as color psychology, which basically is an explanation of how colors at the conscious and subconscious level affect a person’s emotions, mood and energy as a few examples.  In essence the study of how it impacts human behavior.

For instance you might have heard that the color red represents power and passion.  It is a very strong vibrant color that elicits a strong emotion.  Or yellow representing sunshine and cheerfulness.   In this picture I am wearing green, a color that many people associate with money and yet it is also known to be the color of balance, nature and often referred to as the color of healing.  Other meanings associated to the color green are growth, fertility and change.

When I was growing up, in one of the houses that we lived in there was a green toilet and sink, so for the longest time I was not too keen on this color.   Today I like green in all its variations — dark green, yellow green, olive and aqua to name a few.  It is a color that I like to wear often and I just love it on this dress from Zaara.  It has fabulous detail and it’s perfect casual wear.» View author and full post…

Strawberry couldn’t have provided an easier post for today, as I am traveling and didn’t have much time to put anything else together.  Every now and then I love to go belly dancing, as it is relaxing to let your mind wander as you dance to the exotic music.  I am member of the group Bellydance Goddess and while I don’t often get to attend all the events, but when I do it is always so peaceful and fun.  You are welcomed like if you’re one of the family, so I always find them to be one of the nicest groups on the grid.

So the meme for this week is, write a Haiku about your Second Life. Remember to leave your link in this meme’s post so others can come by and read your answers as well!

Out of Strawberry’s blog, “A Haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five. “ 

Here is my short Haiku.

Inventory messes and dresses
Dances and plays house
Prances as quiet as a mouse

Can’t get this song out of my head today so I used it as title for my blog

I am really loving how the Mya skin from  Belleza looks as a blonde, so I went for another blonde look today..

I’m high on your love
You make me fly on love
You make me cry, you make me sigh
You make me die for love
I’m high on your love
You make me fly on love
You make me cry, you make me sigh
You make me die for love

All of my days I dream of you
All of my nights I get high on you
Giving me wings, that’s what you do
Boy you make my dreams come true

Tonight you’re gonna save my world

I’m getting high on your love
