This is my time to learn and grow; to shed the skin of my past and fly free.

I am not usually a resolution maker at midnight on New Years Eve, but this year I decided to jump on the band wagon and made one that I thought could be easily done.  So I told myself this was going to be the year of learning.  Now I was thinking primarily of Second Life when I made that resolution, as this is also the year I would like to open a shop, but I didn't expect the "learning" to be a part of my life in general.  In the past 7 months however, I have come to find out that every part of my life would be put through a learning curve, so to speak, and that all I can do is hold on for the ride.  On a personal and professional level I wanted to grow this year and to take chances on myself, with myself.  From that I have found an entire new world open up with tons of possibilities and I have become a firm believer in setting goals.  For me, it is one of those things that if you think it enough, it will manifest itself.  Whether it be true love, a new business, or just better health, if you believe enough that you deserve it, you will find what you need.  But isn't that the BIG dilemma?  Wants and needs.....sometimes what you want, isn't what you need and sometimes what you need, isn't what you thought you wanted.  When you are faced with such a moment, do yourself a favor and shed your skin and fly free into a new and unknown world, who knows what will be waiting for you on the other side!

I think I have a serious problem with shopping!  When I got back, with all the goodies that have been piling up, what did I do?  I went shopping!  Well it was the first of the month meaning there were all kinds of events starting that I just HAD to go check out!  My first stop was FaMESHed, which with the new computer it loaded fast AND I could walk around when it was full, and I found all kinds of goodies, including this gorgeous ensemble which you can pick up at the event, other than the hair.  I love the new slip dress from Valentina E, and it comes in a variety of colorful patterns, perfect for your Summer night soirees, especially matched up with this precious new jewelry collection from Cae and these fabulous heels from Pure Poison, which happen to have an amazing color change HUD.  Since I have finished my backyard area now, I literally changed into this outfit and plopped into the chair to stare out at the water for a bit when I realized how perfect the pose was for my mood.  I feel free now that I have shed the skin of my past, and along with it my scars, leaving a blank slate to start afresh with learning, living and loving!

I can't ask for things to be still again...

 

  

I played the fool today

And I just dream of vanishing into the crowd
Longing for home again
But home is a feeling I buried in you

...

And I can't ask for things to be still again
No, I can't ask if I could walk through the world in your eyes
Longing for home again
But home is a feeling I buried in you

I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe

Walking On a Dream

Walking on a dream
How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down, I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream 

I know all of you have heard the news that L'Accessories transitioned into the new event On9 bringing to you the same fantastic accessories you have come to know and love, plus clothing, and furniture!  Last month I was away quite a bit and didn't get the chance to check out the opening but I made sure I scampered on over as soon as this round opened.  If you haven't been by yet you really should take the time and go experience On9.  AnaMarkova Designs brings her amazing creations to the event this month with this stunning dress and shoes.  The "Selena" dress comes in several different color combinations with matching colors found in the "Laurel" heels.  I am wearing my Slink Physique as usual, and the dress fit perfectly with a few Alpha layers on with no breaking or stretching as I posed or moved, which of course is always a plus for those of us always out and about on the grid.  No.Match also has a gorgeous new hair for you to get your hands on at On9 as well, "No.Fear."  

I love this necklace from Gizza, also available at On9 in a variety of colors.  Also, make sure to check every color on the pieces currently at the event, as there is a secret sale making this round even more exciting!  I won't give away any hints by the way, if I had to do the work, then so do you!  I absolutely love how this ensemble came together and you can count on this being a dress you see me in often this Summer.
