June will break your heart.
I can see it already.
She’ll shatter you into a million pieces.

If a June night could talk,
it would probably boast it invented romance.

It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes
and pleasant scents the noses.

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.

.. in this year to come ..

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are
making new things, trying new things, learning,
living, pushing yourself, changing yourself,
changing your world. You’re doing things
you’ve never done before, and more importantly,
you’re doing something.
                                    ~ Neil Gaiman

new-year-2017-smaller

As 2017 begins, we find life and the world in a precarious balance – the political scene in many countries struggling; terrorist activities still at play; war tearing apart lands; anger and discord abound.  It is a struggle to find our own personal peace within during times such as these.  But it is important that we strive for positivity; that we peer through the clouds for something that makes us smile.  Maybe it is the puppy at your feet or the little child down the street or is it a smile from a stranger or even an agreement with an enemy?  We need to do better, be better and help our children, family, friends and those we mentor follow in the steps of positive approach.  When someone says something negative about a gender, a race, a sexual preference, an immigrant – try to diffuse the negativity and move the needle to a more proactive and equal position.  We will never agree with everyone’s opinion but shouldn’t we open our minds, ears and perhaps our hearts to try to understand why there is a difference of opinion?  We should strive to find our own peace amongst the chaos. As the golden rule says – “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matt. 7:12).

I wish each and every one of you a blessed 2017 – a year that you find happiness and love; a year where you achieve your goals – big and small; a year that allows you to overcome the low times and find the good each time.  Find your peace and surround yourself with those that compliment and help you be better.  *hugs*
