“It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. 
It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal,
and that every path may lead to peace.”      – Agnes M. Pharo

I believe that we need to find peace within ourselves before we can find a peaceful world around us. We all want world peace but we fight each other’s ideals and thoughts and desires. We think that by stating our opinions against those in control, change will come and we will be at peace. Change will come, but peace requires so much more.

As we move through the holidays towards the new year, I find the above quote from Agnes Pharo even more poignant. We should wish for this every day for everyone and in every year. And we should probably carry courage AND hope into tomorrow as in these days, it could take both to find the peace we need.

Control what you can…if you have a peaceful heart and you live courageously and with hope… you might find yourself to be a strong person that can bring change, to be a leader towards the better, to be a warm beacon in the field of cold. Will you try?

.. doing a bit of vlogging ..

/ Sunshine / 2 Comments

So I have decided to just try to do some vlogging in a way to learn something new but also as it provides a new way to display things – regions, creations, fashion, etc.  It provides the ability to showcase things in a different way.  My last blog was my first attempt and when I started the process as I wanted to show Kraftwork’s Le Plateau Loft in a more ‘real’ way.  I have also created a “intro” for my YouTube channel which you see here.

 

Now to figure out what the best video capture software is for me.  I am not quite ready to spend the cash for the widely suggested Camtasia, so I’ve been playing around with other options for capturing browsers or other applications.  Trying to stay on the “free” route so far… we shall see!

Sometimes you find a great outfit in Second Life that you just want to talk about.   I found the “Shirley” dress by !gO! at the Shiny Shabby round that opened today.  I generally love Gocha Merlin’s creations and this dress is no exception. It has an 1920’s vibe and the fit for my Maitreya body worked perfectly.  The texture is great and the bow is just perfect.

I decided it would be a great item to blog so I had to think of a good location.  I remembered that I had recently seen  that Jogi Schultz of Schultz Bros. had been building a early 20th century New York City for roleplay – and off I headed to the 1920’s New York Project.  Based upon the website, I knew that the project had recently been moved over to a full sim so I wanted to check it out.  The build is looking great even though it is still ‘in progress’.  It is definitely a scene that lends to an active role play story and adventure.

Initially you land in a train or subway station which looks great and provides the necessary information. As you ascent up the stairs, you will see a ticket booth attendant patiently ready to serve.  You then have the choice to teleport down to the project.  The build has an elevated railway, some great shops that are perfect for the era, a night club, coffee houses, cafes and a ballroom.  There is a waterfront with a park where you can just relax and visit with a passerby.  The textures are realistic and the architecture is quite true to life as well.

If you choose to visit, please note that you do have to be dressed appropriately for the era and if you haven’t had a chance to pick up this awesome dress by !gO!, you will find freebies at the entry point.
