Happy Easter!

Featuring
!gO!




Easter is…
Joining in a birdsong,
Eying an early sunrise,
Smelling yellow daffodils,
Unbolting windows and doors,
Skipping through meadows,
Cuddling newborns,
Hoping, believing,
Reviving spent life,
Inhaling fresh air,
Sprinkling seeds along furrows,
Tracking in the mud.
Easter is the soul’s first taste of spring.
― Richelle E.

And I Can't Stop, And I Won't Stop

Featuring
PURPLEMOON CREATIONS


“The strongest people
 are not those who show strength 
in front of the world 
but those who fight
 and win battles 
that others do not know anything about.” 
― Jonathan Harnisch


Today I woke up feeling extremely happy. 
The reason is that I realize the many blessings I have in my life. 
And though I am having a hard time with my vision/eyes, 
I can still see how beautiful the world is through this blurriness.
All those blows and disappointments in life are actually what make me stronger 
and appreciate more what I DO have, which is so much instead of whining over what I don't. 
I prefer to see the good side of everything because I do believe everything happens for a reason. 
We are constantly given lessons in life and it is our attitude that will make these lessons 
either positive or negative.

Take the bull by the horns I say and NEVER give up!
Smile, Dance, and never stop Dreaming. This is YOUR life, live it to the fullest
and enjoy every second of it!

No Longer A Rose It Is


The rose oped its petals
and inside sat a thorn.
Oh how painful the pricked was
that made my finger
drop a blood tear to the floor.
For it wasn't the thorn that was more painful
but the unexpected blow.

No longer a rose it is,
But just a simple thorn.

Welcome To The Jungle

Featuring
THE INSTRUMENTS: PURPLEMOON


WARNING
Not Everyone Is As They Seem!

Welcome To Second Life!

Second life is truly a beautiful and exciting place to visit.
 However, for newcomers, it can be a dangerous place and like most of us, 
they will find that not everything is as it seems.
Sometimes it can be better, but unfortunately, very often it is not. 
What better song to describe this side of Second Life 
then Welcome To The Jungle by Guns N' Roses 
(1987 Appetite For Destruction album). 




Liars, Deceivers, and Players, 
or whatever you want to call them, these nasty creatures roam this land in packs 
hungry for their next victim. Usually, they target newbies/newcomers/fresh meat, 
but no one is really safe from these predators if you let your guard down. 

Their goal: 
To see for how long they can play you and in how many pieces they can break your heart 
once you fall into their web, weaved by sweet talks, lies, and false promises. 

These players, 
as I prefer to call them, come in the form of man or woman, or both because 
in Second Life you can be a f*cking door if you want to. So you really don't 
know who's hiding behind the smile. 

This is their game, and you will be their new toy.
It will last as long as they decide, usually until they get bored or they get a new "better" toy,
Or until you wise up and learn to see through their lies and false promises.

 Once trapped in their game, the measure of pain that you can get to experience 
can be unbearable. They will find some sick pleasure in seeing you suffer.

But do not retreat, simply enter with caution and keep your eyes wide open.
Most times, these people can be detected on the spot. Exaggerated charm can very much be a red flag.
Enjoy the game and guard your heart.

And NO, this is NOT a post about me, I am no predator and definitely not the prey :P
I simply woke up to my son listening to this song and thought,
"Hey, that would make a good post plus it goes perfectly with my pic."

Thanks For Reading!

Beyond The Sunset



She sat quietly swinging her bare feet back and forth 
as the warm breeze played gently with her long, tangled brown hair. 
Her eyes set on the sunset as it slowly said goodbye to the day. 
She begins to wonder what was beyond the sun, the clouds, and the ocean 
and wished her eyes could travel that far. 
She smiled as she felt the tender tickles of the grass as it touched her feet. 
It was the same grass she loved so much to lay down on and look up at the clouds. 

She continued to swing quietly not daring to interrupt the peace of the ending day. 
A fallen leaf sliding down through her cheek and landing on her hand 
reminded her of her love. Its gentle touch was very similar to his loving caresses. 
At that moment, all memories of him stirred up in her heart
reminding her of the time when he was still there, 
on that very same swing wherein his arms, 
they would watch sunsets together every afternoon. 
No longer would she hear his soft whispers telling 
her how much he loved her, the only whispers left were those of the tree 
that with the sound of its moving leaves 
assured her that everything would be okay.

Yes, she missed him! 
She missed him with all her heart and being 
and wondered if sometime today 
he had thought of her too as she did for him every day. 
She continued to watch on the horizon, 
her eyes locked on what was left of that day's sunset and wondered 
what was beyond the sun, the clouds and the ocean 
and wished her eyes could travel that far 
so she could see her lover's smile once again.

The Seven Doors

Featuring
BOUDOIR


There were seven doors, 
each leading to a different world...
A different feeling with a different ending.
As she opened the first six, she noticed that they were wide and inviting and easy to open.
And then, there was only one left, the seventh door that was locked and required a key.

The first six remained wide opened once she had turned the knob.
But for some reason, the one that required the key was the only one that interested her.
She sensed that inside she would find greater treasures than any of the others had inside.
She looked around for a key that would open this special door.
Hours passed, then days, then months.
Her search for the key took her across the oceans,
to the highest mountains' tops,
and to the deserts and deepest woods.
She searched high and low in the world, from dawn to dust, 
never giving up hope that she would find the key someday.
Suddenly a gentle voice inside her spoke to her...

"You fool, the key is in your heart!"

She closed her eyes and found the key right in the middle of her heart where all emotions are born.
She returned to the locked seventh door and was able to finally open it.
And indeed, the treasures that had been kept locked inside, were far more beautiful than she had imagined.


Hello beautiful world!
My story today was inspired by the seven doors in the hall in my real-life home.
There are actually nine doors if you count the two French doors as two. I have been living in the same
house for over 16 years and until now, I realized that there are too many doors in the hall. 
Each opens to different rooms; my daughter's bedroom, dining room, guest room, etc., and behind each
door lays memories of so many happy moments. Some doors are kept closed while others I keep wide open at all times. None of my doors required a key to be opened. They are always ready to welcome anyone that wants to enter any of these rooms.

Looking at them I was in a way amazed by their beauty. Yes, doors can be beautiful too.
Not solely for their structure, but for what they keep inside.

THE KEY
The key is in our hearts.
This special kind of key is what allows us to open doors in life.
The key is created by our feelings.
Feelings of forgiveness, kindness, and love that will open doors to peace and happiness.
Feelings of hate, greed, dishonesty, and pride can and WILL only open doors for a life of self-destruction, 
because in the end, what we do to others, will end up hurting us the most in the long run.

No More MilkyWays

Featuring
THE INSTRUMENTS


Hello beautiful world!

So finally after days, actually weeks of not feeling well, I decided to go to the doctor on Tuesday 
and, unfortunately, I was diagnosed with diabetes. 
I had been feeling so sick that I couldn't even get out of bed these last past days, feeling so dizzy 
and weak. The ironic thing is that I have a phobia of needles. In the past I have literally fainted 
a few times when I get a shot or had blood drawn from me, now, poking myself with needles 
will be part of my life. It is not that I fear the pain, rarely do they hurt at all, however, 
just the thought of knowing that a needle is being stuck on me, is enough to make me extremely nervous.

The news of me having this disease wasn't a surprise at all. 
I had Gestational Diabetes during both my pregnancies but after giving birth it went away both times.
After that, I never cared to check myself again for this disease thinking I was in the clear for good.
However, my mother has suffered from diabetes for many years, so in the back of my mind, 
I always knew I was prone to get it if I didn't take care of myself and many times 
I showed symptoms of the disease. When the doctor gave me the news all I could think was, 
"I knew it!"

Of course, I am saddened by this but I prefer to see it on the bright side. 
This is my wake-up call to start taking better care of myself and not neglect my health 
like I been doing lately. It is time to say goodbye to drinking cokes every day and eating so many
Milkyway chocolate bars. 

I still haven't been able to normalize my sugar levels and still spend all day in bed 
feeling like I am falling. Thankfully, today I woke up feeling a bit better and eager to blog a little. 
I know that with faith and determination following the doctor's orders I'll be back as new in no time.

“Respect your body. 
Eat well. 
Dance forever.” 

Before I go, I want to thank from the bottom of my heart all of you, my wonderful readers, 
my dearest friend and family for all your get-well wishes. 
For all your emails, eCards, and off-lines during this time. 
This show of love and affection has meant so much to me and it will never be forgotten. 
May God bless each and every one of you every day of your lives.

Thanks For Reading!
