Mooses & Gooses

WEEKEND SHOPPING

BOO!

Is that crickets I hear? Nothing left but dust and spiderwebs, (blows off dust from the keyboard

and screen monitor). Now, with the time I have been gone, I'll need more than just blowing to get

this place running again. But the cleaning will have to wait for now (looking for Steppenwolf's wallet),

It is the weekend and that means SHOPPING TIME!

But first I made a quick stop for a selfie. This is in my in-studio set that I put together using

Whistler Collection Festive. Sled Bench by KraftWork which is available for this weekend's Saturday Sale.

There are 2 sets available, PG & ADULT versions for 100L each including about 10 pieces each.

Now, for this weekend Truth Hair spoils us with a long, beautiful side ponytail, TRUTH Collective / Mistral,

available in 6 Shade Huds for 100L each, Essentials Hud for 300L, and 650L for the Fatpack. Ponytail

comes in 4 styles via Hud.

And the third and final item featured from The Saturday Sale is my beautiful  Vaani Sweater by ELIKATIRA.

There are 6 Sets available with 4 colors each for 75L per set or 300L for the Fatpack which includes

24 shades. Fits LaraX - Legacy - Reborn, 100% Original Created by Elikapeka Tiramisu. You can

also combine the beautiful sweater with the Violet Moto Jacket that you can buy for 100L.

The jacket is available in 6 Sets with 4 colors each or you can get the Fatpack for 450L.

I leave you now with one of our goofing-around moments.

I just love to play dumb with my Steppenwolf to see how he will "explain" things to me. ;)

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): guns booming across the lake

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): where the land can't be developed  so its wild

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): no i know i mean the plural changes form

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): but if you have one moose and he finds a mate then there are two moose

Lori Novo: i guess i am burping out my brain cells [Had been burping all day]

My Sweet Lord

EXPLORING SECOND LIFE

And there I was, a woman without religion but with faith to praise one hundred Gods.

- lori Novo

My Sweet Lord

- George Harrison -

"I really want to see you

Really want to be with you

Really want to see you, Lord

But it takes so long, my Lord

My sweet Lord

Mm, my Lord

Mm, my Lord..."

-lyrics

Welcome, this is Luanes World - Le Monde Perdu - Summer 2024 (Moderate)

I grew up in the catholic faith, with a great-grandmother who guided us under very strict

religious guidance that cast fear, more than love to God. She truly believed that the only way to

make it to Haven was to follow the Catholic faith. So punishment, hell, and purgatory were some

of the words she would use on us to keep us in line and obey the Lord. More than a loving and forgiven

father, God was painted to us as this unmerciful being who could see everything we did, even our

thoughts. In a way, she was right on that one, but to her, we could be struck by lightning if

we ever did something wrong. Something as small as liking a dress from a magazine. That is what

she would call a vanity sin and so we should feel ashamed and pay penance for our sin with

Twenty Hail Marys and twenty Our Fathers and don't forget our pet, Billy the goat for a blood

sacrificial! Okay, I am exaggerating a bit there with the goat. :P

Anyway, growing up under my great-grandmother's faith was utterly torture.

Going to church with her for mass meant that for the whole duration of mass, our eyes had to

be locked on the priest and we were not allowed to make any sounds, not even a cough or a sneeze.

Don't get me wrong, my great-grandmother was a very loving woman just too intense when it

came to her religion.

I, however, began to unfollow her faith and demands at a very early age. I am surprised she didn't

disown me. However, the way she treated me after my rebellious uproar changed drastically.

She no longer showed physical affection to me as she did with her other great-grandkids that

continued to obey her more out of fear than out of love and respect.

I became the black sheep and with the years, almost all of the other joined me as well.

It was hard to follow her faith that more than love and peace was all about pain, sadness, and

punishment. Standing with her meant walking on eggshells at every second with God. A small,

unintentional wrong step could mean damnation in hell for an eternity.

I did continue practicing the Catholic faith but on my own for a few more years.

However, for some reason, my spirit felt empty and so I searched in other religions for what my spirit

was lacking. As I continued to soul struggle one day I felt it in my heart, what I had been looking for

was already inside me. It had been there since the moment I was born and that was to be good, to

care for the world and every single living thing. To live by love because once we live by love,

everything good falls into place like peace, joy, acceptance, forgiveness, encouragement, etc.

But here's the catch, the beauty of living this way is not with the purpose of earning a spot in Heaven

or to avoid hell, those two things are already on earth. The beauty should be in doing it because it is the

right thing to do, for ourselves and others, with no rewards expected, other than knowing that a life

lived with love for the world can only bring light and light is good, very good!

So that is how I came to be a woman with no religion but with a very strong faith in a

merciful and loving God.

Wildflower Wildfire

- Lana Del Rey -

Baby I, I, I, I've been runnin' on stardust

Alone for so long

I wouldn't know what hot fire was

Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I'm better with you

It's strange, but it's true, darling

Not to turn into a wildfire

To light up your night

With only my smile and nothing that burns

Baby, I'll be like a wildflower

I live on sheer willpower

I'll do my best never to turn into something

That burns, burns, burns

Like the others baby, burns, burns, burns

Would You Love Me For The Hell Of It?

If the World Was Ending (Official Video) 

- JP Saxe ft. Julia Michaels -

I know, you know, we know

You weren't down for forever and it's fine

I know, you know, we know

We weren't meant for each other and it's fine

But if the world was ending

You'd come over, right?

You'd come over and you'd stay the night

Would you love me for the hell of it?

All our fears would be irrelevant

If the world was ending

You'd come over, right?

The sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight

And there wouldn't be a reason why

We would even have to say goodbye

If the world was ending

You'd come over, right?

Right?

If the world was ending

You'd come over, right?

Right?
