Put my whole heart on the line, Get hurt every single time. Loving you was never tough, But it still wasn’t enough. You saw problems, Never asked for a solution. I saw our future, Staying in a forward motion.
Time slowed down to a standstill, Draining my resolve and will. Thunder and lightning brew, Mind wondering what was true. Stumbling, falling to the ground, Listening for lost familiar sounds. Reaching out for a sign, an omen, Untangling threads of life’s hope stolen.
Sunlight bathes me in its glow, Promising a bright future to show. Hesitation binds my feet to this spot, Determination guides me onward to trot. Moonbeams shower my body at night, Charging my energy and resolve to take flight. Heart still yearning for Him, Soul guiding my lifelong swim.
For every breath I take that parts our days, I step down the path for the one who stays. Will you return to me? Is it meant to be? Or is there another behind your shadow, Searching as I do with no time to borrow? Alone or bound to another soul, My rare heart is the true prize to hold.

Quiet. Silence. Deafening stillness fills my room without your presence. My mind spins a mile a minute, then slows like grass in a gentle breeze. How do I do this again? Being on my own without another voice overpowering mine?
Comfort. Normal. Your presence was constant but what about your mind? Always elsewhere. Together but alone. Now I’m alone but no longer lonely. Finding myself again, remembering who I am and where I want to go.
Quiet. Silence. Filling the emptiness with songs of my heart. Searching for new passions to re-ignite my flames. You may see me, but you won’t recognize the woman I’m becoming. Whispering, you’ll wonder how I became what I am. Who I am.
The Cart Sale has been running for about two weeks now and we have about one week left! If you’ve missed previous posts, the Cart Sale is a shopping event where all items are 50L or less. Today I am giving you more peeks at what you can find there. Be sure to check the event out before it ends on April 15th.
One of the items I am wearing comes from Dark Water Designs. The Crochet Overlay Top is a cute form-fitting top and has a HUD included with a few color options. Sizes for Maitreya, Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Belleza Freya, Venus, and Isis mesh bodies are included. Next to me on the bed are a few items from Dark Knight Decor; the tea kettle and macaroons come in separate sets but go well together for a sweet afternoon treat. The lantern next to me is from The Dark Fae. Turn this cute piece on and light up your room with a bit of whimsy that comes in quite a few colors to pick from. Behind the lantern, you’ll see a vase of tulips and a planter of roses that both come from StoraxTree. Each has a selection of colors so you can find just the right one for any room or garden theme.
That is all I have for you today. Until next time. ā¤

Hello everyone! I hope you are all staying safe and healthy in these crazy times. I know I’m slowly starting to go a bit more insane… With all of the time at home, you’d think we would be more productive with projects we’ve left unfinished for a while, but alas, we’re just trying to cope in these strange circumstances. One of the best ways to do so is to listen to some good music. What’s your favorite band, genre, song? Whatever makes you relax or feel upbeat, turn it up and dance around in your room or while you make some food.
Another good way to have some fun is shopping! I know some are struggling to save money while they are out of work, but there are some great deals in SecondLife that won’t break your bank. The Cart Sale at the Wash has begun and is chock full of items that are 50L or less. Some of what I am currently wearing is from the Cart Sale. My dress was created by Sweet Willows and there are seven different color/pattern options to pick from and only costs 10L. Every single color/pattern comes in mesh sizes fitted for Maitreya Lara, Slink Physique and Hourglass, and the Belleza Freya bodies. My hat is from Tiar, and while it is called Mens hat, I found it gives a fun twist to my look. It is modifiable to make sure you have the purrfect fit.
I will have more for again but don’t delay and grab these bargains before the event ends on April 15th.

Hey peeps! Linden Labs has made it so the SL Home and Garden Expo has a few more days! If you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re missing out on a great way to contribute to Relay For Life. As I stated in my previous post, there are creators with items up for grabs that contribute either 100% sale donations or 50% sale donations to RFL. In addition there is an auction and many creators have decorated homes to compete for the most donations to RFL. One of the homes I visited is on the water and named the Beach Cabin. House No. 11 is a cozy little home with a small living area, spacious foyer and bedroom upstairs, and an outdoor kitchen and dining area perfect for enjoying a view of the water. The dock also offers easy access to moor a boat. Come take a look at the wonderful work Alec Rogue has done on his build and donate some linden if you can to his donation kiosk. Every linden donated is a vote for their home and 100% go to RFL!
Happy exploring. ā„

February, the month of love and romance, is almost over. While most think of it as the time for couples, itās also a good time to show ourselves a bit of self-love. A reminder if you will, that YOU are amazing and deserving of love just the way you are. Whether you fit into one of society’s supposed “perfect” boxes or dance to the beat of your own drum, we’re all a work in progress just trying to win our battles each day. So in honor of love and being true to ourselves, treat yourself this month. Buy yourself your favorite treat, watch your favorite show or movie, and just take a moment each day to look in the mirror and tell yourself “I’m awesome the way I am.”
With the onset of spring fast approaching, I often find myself wanting to redecorate to give my surroundings a fresh look. Sprucing up my home is therapeutic for me and I’ve found some lovely things recently. =EC Designs= has created some fun new furniture sets for your homes inworld which are currently being exclusively sold at the SL Home and Garden Expo. The Home and Garden Expo is a huge event that supports Relay For Life, a cause near and dear to many of us. One of their new adorable sets that is up for 50/50 Donations is the Garden Patio Set. Included in this set are a loveseat, chair, and table that are spring green and golden yellow. Both the chair and the loveseat have several female and male single sits which can be accessed in any sitting spot. Couples can cozy up together on the Loveseat to enjoy a nice afternoon in the sun.
If you’re looking for living room pieces, they have you covered there too with their Lawson Living Room set that has two different loveseats, an armchair, coffee tables, and a lamp which is one of their 100% donation sets. Their Gemini Lounger is up for 100% RFL donations as well. If you’re up for hunting, their Laced Up Chair is their hunt prize and will add a fun quirky vibe to any room in your house. Lastly, they have an item up for auction for the Expo. The Sheltered Lounge provides a cozy shady spot to relax or cuddle up with your loved one, which is being offered up in an event exclusive color. Be sure to check it out and help show some love to the cause!

Looking back on the past 12 or so months, I have been battling demons and dealing with some of the toughest health issues of my life. Four ER trips, a two-month stint in the hospital following major surgery, and multiple traumas that no one should have to go through made up the majority of my 2019. Every year has its ups and downs, but seldom have I felt close to breaking. I felt betrayed by my body. Unable to get through my day without sheer exhaustion from struggling to function.
And yetā¦I’ve pulled through the darkness. I’ve climbed over that terrifying mountain and made it to the other side, finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. While I’ve beaten the hardest part of this past year, the road ahead won’t be easy as I heal, strengthen, and grow as a person both mentally and physically. Thankfully, I won’t be alone on my journey. My family, friends, and partner have all been behind me, supporting and cheering me on each step of the way in my recovery. While I’ve never doubted their support, I admit to doubting myself at times. I’m only human.
With the dawn of a new year and a new decade, I hope to find renewed strength and love for myself. 2019 knocked me down but 2020 is already showing promise if I continue to move forward. As always, I’m not going to give in. Not going to fall. I’m still breathing. ā„

When we think of the future, our minds often picture flying cars, holograms, hover boards, and traveling to other planets. Some of our more creative thoughts bring to mind light sabers, aliens, healing chambers, and robots with AI so believable they could be mistaken for a human. Science fiction literature, video games, TV shows, and film bring these visions to life in ways that are awe inspiring. If you’re a lover of the genre, the Sci-fi Con is for you and is only open for a couple more days. I am sharing a few pieces that =EC Designs= and Mishmash Fusion have at the RFL event.
Mishmash Fusion has new dresses for Sci-fi Con that will have you ready to go clubbing or feeling like a galactic princess. The dress I’m wearing is called Nyota and it is the Purple Pulsar color. Without advanced lighting on, it is a nice black dress. Turn on advanced lighting and you get a sexy electrifying number that will hypnotize any onlookers. Sizes included for this dress fit Altamura Sofia, eBody Classic and Curvy, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus; Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. This specific color is a 100% donation dress which means all sales go to RFL. If you like hunting, the gown my friend is wearing is one of the hunt items Mishmash Fusion is offering. Don’t worry, a gift for guys is included as well! The Elation Gown in Infected is a fun color changing gown that slowly shifts and moves at the same time. Sizes for this futuristic style come fitted for eBody, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus; Slink Hourglass, Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. A Standard mesh size is also included. Find this beauty and steal the show at your next party.
If you are looking for some furniture for your space station, =EC Designs= has just what you need. The Group Seating set in Hex is perfect for the tech fans with its neon lighting around the edges. You’ll find a sectional couch that seats three people and the stool will seat one person. Other seating included are loveseats with and without cushions and a corner chair. Each seat comes equipped with animations for both female and male avatars no matter where you sit. Loveseats and the Sectional sofa have PG couples animations. With all of these options, you can find the perfect arrangement of seating for any home. Also from =EC Designs= is their Orbits Gacha which feature mini planets in different blinking colors that orbit around you! Be the center of your own solar system by adding these little funky planets to your outfit; as a bonus they reflect light off clothes with materials like the Nyota dress really well.
The Sci-fi Con ends May 26th and some of these items are event exclusives, so hurry and check them out before they’re gone! Links to the event are below. š

Fantasy Faire recently opened and as always, each sim showcases such spectacular and jaw-dropping creativity by both the sim builders and merchants who participate in this special Relay for Life charity event. Each themed sim is sponsored and lovingly designed by different SecondLife creators with care and attention to detail. If you have never been to Fantasy Faire before, you are missing out on artistry and talent. Today I will be sharing a couple items from =EC Designs= and Mishmash Fusion that are being sold with 100% of sales being donated to Relay for Life in this event.
Mishmash Fusion has created several outfits in many colors that are all set as 100% donation items at Fantasy Faire. A few of these colors are exclusive to the event. Today I am wearing Rena’s Outfit in Fantasy, which is the event exclusive color. Rena’s Outfit is a smexy leafy look for all of the faery looking for something light and airy. Each one comes with vine wraps for arms and legs, a skirt, and two different top options. Sizes included for this outfit are for Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus; Slink Hourglass and Physique, Tonic Curvy and Fine, eBody and eBody Curvy, and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. Grab this pretty and feel magical while you get up to faery hijinks!
From =EC Designs= I have the Cuddle Pod. A delightfully whimsical pear-ish shaped pod hangs from some trees but can be unlinked and hung wherever you like. Put it in your garden and create a snuggly space that is magical and cozy for all walks of life. There are many pose options for singles, both female and male, and several pages of couples poses. Whether you enjoy a fantasy theme or more traditional approach to your landscaping, this piece will add a touch of magic and charm to your garden or home.
You will find both of these items up for sale at 50% off as donation items at Fantasy Faire in the same booth on the Tensors’ Flying Market sim built and sponsored by Rivendale. After the event ends on May 5th, they will be in the mainstore for full price. Get them now and see what else these creators have in store for you to help support RFL!

As spring finally takes hold, I have more bargains for you to seeĀ that you can grab at the Cart Sale. The event officially ends April 10th, though some merchants may keep their booths open a few days longer. Check it out before it’s too late!
Today I am sharing more from =EC Designs=. In my last post I shared their adorable Spring Tea Set; they also have several other items up for sale that would look lovely in your garden. Pictured here are the matching Spring Chair, Spring Table, and Spring Bench which are all sold separately so you can choose which pieces you want. There is also an arch and a bridge that match these pieces to make a full set. Both the Spring Chair and Spring Bench have single sits for males and females; only the bench has PG couples animations. I found other pieces as well for my garden at the Cart Sale. The Morocan Candle & Ivy Lamp from StoraxTree adds a nice soft glow for a quiet evening outside and the Home Store has many cute things, one of which is the pond formed by gray stones. Pick these up to add to your landscaping collection.
For my new spring wardrobe, I picked up another dress, this time from battle fairy. The lydia set comes in six different patterns for you to choose from. Each set includes fitted sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus; Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. Each dress also comes with matching shoes for Belleza, Slink, and Maitreya feet. A word of caution though, the dresses are very short so you may want to wear some panties underneath it. My second outfit contains two other items from the Cart Sale. Sweet Willows has a very cute tube top that has a butterfly over the front in four different colors fitted for the Maitreya Lara body. My shoes are from Ciara’s Boutique and come with resize scripts so they should fit all types of SL feet which come in the 50L shoe fatpack. In this fatpack you’ll find several patterns of sneakers and heels that match the other clothing items Ciara’s Boutique is offering for sale.
There is a lot of other bargains to find at the Cart Sale but only a few days left so go check it out now! You’ll find the landmark below. See you next time! š
