"What you had and what you lost. They're all memories in the wind. Those days go by, and we all start again." The Offspring

Not quite sure what has me reminiscing today, but I have been thinking about the years I spent traveling back and forth between Phoenix and Huntington Beach, California back in the mid-90's.  I met a lot of interesting people and had a lot of fun, though there was a lot of pain in my life.  After all these years I can look back fondly, instead of seeing only the painful things, and it's a lot like looking at old photographs; the memory remains but the raw emotions have now faded leaving only a dusty imprint on my soul.  For some people, this never seems to happen, and I wish there was a magic switch to flip to reveal to them the lessons they learned instead of them becoming a slave to the pain of the past.  But I guess that is part of what makes us all so very different from each other, and I wouldn't change that for the world.  Since I seem to communicate better through music than I do verbally, at time, I recently shared a song with my son that touched on this exact topic and decided to use it today for my post so I could share this sentiment with all of you.  Every moment of your life, no matter how hard it may be, is just a passing moment.  When things seem a bit too rough, and you have lost even a pinpoint of light at the end of the tunnel, remind yourself that this too shall pass, and that sun will rise again tomorrow bringing with it a whole new light and new perspective.  These days will go by just like those magical moments you wished would never end, but the photographs in your mind will always take you back, if you want to look.


If you read my earlier post today then you know I have fallen in love with this adorable new dress from POSH Pixels, currently available at Swank, unless they have closed up shop for the month, then check the main store, I have provided both links below.  The Hair Fair 2016 is in full swing which means you just have to head on over as soon as you can to pick up some fantastic new creations as well as donate to a good cause since a percentage of every sale goes to benefit Wigs for Kids.  I fell in love with this hair from ICONIC as soon as I set my eyes on it and well I haven't taken it off unless having to do a post!  It lies wonderfully over the breasts and along the back without breaking, which is always a plus in my book.  So head on over NOW, you won't be disappointed!


I am so excited to announce that unKindness is in this round of Shiny Shabby with fabulous new pillows and benches all in the classic boho styling which is the main influence for this round of the event!  The benches come in 3 different color combinations and the pillows come in Boho and Shabby, which I think work perfectly together in my little retreat at home.  The textures and color combinations are to die for and the more pillows the better, in my opinion, so hurry on over and grab yours today!  Peeking down from the ceiling is something I picked up at The Epiphany that I adore!  Foxes gacha has all kinds of goodies for your home as well as a Rare cottage in Dark as well as the special exclusive being the cottage in Light, with every piece in the gacha available in light and dark so you can furnish each one!  Poke me in-world if you are looking for any pieces of this, I will gladly negotiate, as I have a couple of the Rare Starlights pictured here, as I am sure they would make a great addition to your home today!
