Be Happy April's Fool!

MONDAY MORNING

For every minute you are worried, angry, or sad, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

BE HAPPY!

Don't Worry, Be Happy

Hello Beautiful Second Life, and welcome beautiful Monday!

There are so many things in Second Life that make me happy like climbing trees,

dancing on top of a hill, running barefoot through the rain, and watching sunsets.

In my early years in Second Life, you could often find me dancing alone with my bare feet

in the water. You can't imagine what beautiful feelings of joy and freedom that would bring to me.

I feel very thankful for my Second Life journey which brings me so much joy like you have

no idea. I love my Second Life just as much as I love my real life. Neither one is an escape from 

the other but a beautiful extension of each other.

“Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.”

― Roy T. Bennett

My first thought every morning when I open my eyes is to say "It's gonna be a beautiful day!"

And the first thing I do when I get out of bed is to open my curtains to let the new day in.

My room fills up with light, life, hope, and joy and I can't help but smile. ♥

I am very excited about this new week with a great line-up of blog posts that I have planned for you.

Just to name a few...

Got to go for now my beautiful people but I'll be seeing you again later today.

Much love,

Lori Novo

Paparazzi 📷 Tempura Island

These are the most beautiful, most interesting, cutest-sweet, and best-dressed avatars

that I encounter during my outings in Second Life.

Hello Beautiful World!

I decided to do a Paparazzi post based on the beautiful people that visit

Tempura every day. I already have a special section dedicated to this beautiful island in

Capturing Tempura Island but today I thought, why not?

Now, I do want to first introduce you to zazou.rivera (above pics) which if there was a nomination

in Tempura for Best Dressed Female Of The Year, without a doubt, she would win it.

Ms. Zazou seems to have a favorite spot on the golden bridge where you will always find her, but then

again, I am sure we all have our favorite spot in Tempura. Actually, I have four different spots on this

beautiful island that I like to claim, MINE, MINE, JUST MINE! :P

But going back to this beautiful lady, Ms. Zazou always seems very quiet and likes to keep to herself

however, I had the pleasure of meeting her and even visited her Second Life home on one occasion

and I got to say, she was very welcoming with a very lovely friendliness about her.

Rhett (rkp 30) - Adas Davi - Rahul (rahul11chau)

Now, the seven people above, are some of the ones that captured my eye for one reason or another.

Not all of them are regulars at Tempura, but I still had a chance to chat with most of them, confirming

that in fact, they are people that I truly want to have in my blog. However, the last three people, I

can share a little about them with you.

Third to last we have Rhett (rkp 30) who is very new to Second Life, just a few months old really,

so I took a few minutes to welcome him to our virtual world. This is something I like to do when I

notice new residents and want to make them feel welcome.

Second to last we have Adas Davi, a regular on the island and I am sure very well-known to all

the ladies there. Adas is a charmer and loves to give all the ladies beautiful roses. I should know, I

already received two from him. Thank you Adas!

And finally, another regular to Tempura in the last picture we have Rahul (rahul11chau) who

I always notice standing at the landing circle. Hmm, I wonder why people always stay there?

Anyways, Rahul has some beautiful words written in his profile that I would like to end this post with.

"I am new to this world but learned a few lessons. 

1. everyone deserves respect and their freedom ... so don't force urself 

2. Only you and only you can make yourself happy.

3. Every avi has a human behind it. Your real nature will reflect in ur avi.

So if u are a douchebag in real u will be here. 

4.  There is more to life than beauty on the outside. It's about what's on the inside."

Much love,

Lori Novo

Back to Black

Hello Beautiful World!

So here we are once again back to black, only this time 

the black is even blacker than before. Did you notice?

But for some reason, I like it.

I guess it's true that it is hard to break from old habits.

I turned my dark gray background into beautiful black for these photos.

I know people are always saying that we must step outside our comfort zone 

if we want to discover new things in life, but I say, why fix something that isn't broken, right?

My dark backgrounds (gray & black) will remain, for the most part, 

but I am planning other changes to the blog that will include colorful pictures

to some of my blog posts as well, you'll see ;) 

Actually, I am making numerous changes, and I want to feel like I am starting

a fresh new blog, like from zero but instead of creating a separate new one, I'll just

recycle this one and make it like new just like Dr. Prem Jagyasi said;

“Creativity isn’t finding something new. 

It is rearranging what you already know into a new mold.”

and that's kind of what I'll be doing!  Let's see how that goes.

Peace & love my beautiful people, keep safe and take care of each other.

Thanks for reading!
