 Hello beautiful world!

After struggling with back problems, today I was finally able to log in-world 
and what was the first thing I found? ... 
LOVE!

"Welcome to LOVE HAIR Blogger Group."
This was such a great surprise and the best welcome I could get today being that hair is one of my
BIGGEST Second Life passions. I am always so happy when, as I've mentioned before, a designer
considers me to collaborate with them and I'm so very thankful for the opportunity. This time, my
thanks go to Ms. Lovespun for such a lovely surprise. 
Looking forward to a fun and long collaboration with her.

"I want to live simply. 
I want to sit by the window when it rains
and read books I'll never be tested on.
I want to paint because I want to, 
not because I've got something to prove. 
I want to listen to my body, 
fall asleep when the moon is high 
and wake up slowly, 
with no place to rush off to. 
I want not to be governed by money or clocks 
or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. 
I just want to be, 
boundless and infinite."

Designer Circle 137th Round: Wow Skins & WellMade




“To crave and to have are as like as a thing and its shadow. 
For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly 
as when one longs to taste it, 
and when is the taste refracted into so many hues
 and savors of ripeness and earth, 
and when do our senses know anything so utterly as when we lack it? 
And here again is a foreshadowing -- 
the world will be made whole. 
For to wish for a hand on one's hair is all but to feel it.
 So whatever we may lose, 
very craving gives it back to us again.” 
― Marilynne Robinson

Peace is present right here and now, 
in ourselves and in everything we do and see. 
Every breath we take, 
every step we take, 
can be filled with peace, 
joy, 
and serenity. 
The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. 
We need only to be awake,
 alive in the present moment.
― Thich Nhat Hanh

Fetish Fair: Purplemoon Creations & Boudoir




A knight in shining armor may look good on paper, 
but they tend to rust away when the storms
 within and around me rage. 
Instead, give me a warrior, 
battle-worn and true,
who'll fight beside me, 
with me and for me, 
and stand, steadfast,
naked and undaunted, 
in the eye of the hurricane I can become. 
A real man made of flesh and blood and honor, 
nothing mythic or contrived. 
Just a simple heart, 
asking nothing of me in return,
 but love.
-Fio

I do swear that I'll always be there.
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.
Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow,
for better, for worse, I will love you 
with every beat of my heart.
-lyrics



From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on.

"Don’t take anything personally. 
Nothing others do is because of you. 
What others say and do is a projection of their own reality,

When you are immune to the opinions of others,

Wow Skins - Rezology Hair - Designer Circle 136th




“Girls like her, my grandfather once warned me, 
girls like her turn into women with eyes like bullet holes and mouths made of knives. 
They are always restless. They are always hungry. They are bad news. 
They will drink you down like a shot of whisky. 
Falling in love with them is like falling down a flight of stairs. 
What no one told me, with all those warnings, is that even after you’ve fallen, 
even after you know how painful it is, you’d still get in line to do it again.

A girl like that, Grandad said, 

perfumes herself with ozone and metal filings. She wears trouble like a crown. 

If she ever falls in love, she’ll fall like a comet, burning the sky as she goes.
She was the epic crush of my childhood. 
She was the tragedy that made me look inside myself and see my corrupt heart. 
She was my sin and my salvation, come back from the grave to change me forever. 
Again. 
Back then, when she sat on my bed and told me she loved me, 
I wanted her as much as I have ever wanted anything.
There are no words for how much I will miss her, but I try to kiss her so that she’ll know. 
I try to kiss her to tell her the whole story of my love,
 the way I dreamed of her when she was dead, 
the way that every other girl seemed like a mirror that showed me her face. 
The way my skin ached for her.
 The way that kissing her made me feel like I was drowning
 and like I was being saved all at the same time. 
I hope she can taste all that, bittersweet, on my tongue.” 
― Holly Black, Black Heart
