Hello 2024!



Any new year resolutions?
None for me thank you!



Last night, as the countdown to the new year began, I was standing outside,
looking up at the sky at my mom and embracing my children, when suddenly
the whole sky lit up with colorful fireworks all around us, it was truly a beautiful
way to welcome the new year, 2024. I couldn't hold back the tears, I felt so thankful for my children,
and for the father of my children, my Pollito kitty, and for my Steppenwolf, the love of my life.

Now, while many sad and bad things happened in 2023, I choose to focus instead on all 
the beautiful blessings I received. And I carry on those blessings into the new year to start it 
on a positive note.


But how about those New Year's resolutions?
Well, for me just like promises, New Year's resolutions can also be very easily broken, that is why
I no longer bother. Instead, I just live one day at a time, making the best of each day as if it were my
last, that seems to work best for me. One thing is for sure though, with every new year, new hope for
a better new year is highly present, what beautiful things the new year will bring.
Receive the new year knowing that it will be better than 2023. Put it out there into the world...
THIS WILL BE THE BEST YEAR EVER!
Set your words free and watch them become a reality.

Thanks For Reading!
Much love,
Lori Novo

Shelter As We Go




"And meet me there
Bundles of flowers
We'll wade through the hours of cold
Winter shall howl at the walls
Tearing down doors of time
Shelter as we go
And maybe, just maybe, I'll come home..."
-lyrics


Red and blue flashing lights
blinding me, forty minutes before midnight,
when the new year is about to come...

Hello Beautiful World!
As you just read, my end of the year ended in tears and the new year begin in tears as well.
Forty minutes to midnight, the father of my children was arrested and taken away over
a broken rear light on my car as he was trying to defend me.
I had driven to my daughter's apartment to receive the new year with my children, and unaware
that one of the rear lights on my car had been broken, I drove not having an idea how much
trouble and tears this would bring.

You can just imagine what a real heartbreak it was when they took George for no reason at all
even though we pleaded with the officer to give him a break since it was New Year's eve and he 
had done nothing wrong. But nothing worked. After they took him and we went inside my
daughter's place, we sat down to cry.

My daughter had prepared so many goodies for us to celebrate the new coming year.
The table was beautifully decorated and filled with food and sweets that she had prepared
during the day. But instead of eating and celebrating, we spent hours on the phone trying to get
George out. Unfortunately, we couldn't and he was released the next day at 3p.m.

Still, I do believe this might be the best new year for me and my family since we started it 
on a very low note. From there, there's no other way but to go up. This most definitely will be 
one of the best years ever, Amen!

Hope yours was a beautiful and peaceful one.

Para Ti Mi Linda Madre!

A Dedication
 

Hello Beautiful World!
Today is the Day of the Dead and I am celebrating my beautiful Virita, my mother.
Also my grandmother, my brother, Victorita and Steppenwolf's mother, and George's mom.
May all rest in peace.

My mother was a happy person, beautiful both inside and out. She loved to sing and listen to
Mexican music. Linda Ronstadt's, Canciones De Mi Padre, were her very favorite ones.
Yesterday I put up a Dia De Los Muertos altar for her in our Second Life home, and today I sang 
her all these songs she loved so much...

On her altar, I added everything that I could find of the things she loved in life. I was sad not to
be able to find everything but next year I am really hoping to have every single item.
I put her tamales Veracruzanos, cokes and cigarettes, and even a small Christmas Tree since 
Christmas was her favorite holiday. However, the Christmas Tree was a simple branch in
memory of the Christmas Tree that she would decorate for me as a child. I also made sure to add
a cd radio since she would spend hours listening to her collection of CDs while she would be
making rosaries out of yarn, and yes, I also added yarn to the altar.



Me acuesto pensando en ti
Y en el sueño estás conmigo
Y me siento tan feliz
Al soñar que estoy contigo...


I too love to sing.
The song above reminds me so much of my mother and it is always so hard to sing it.
However, this next song, Hay Unos Ojos, is truly the hardest one for me. It is the one song that
I always break down crying because every word in the lyrics reminds me of my mother's beautiful 
eyes that I can't see anymore. There was so much love in them, so much peace...
Every time I sing this song, I get so choked up but I keep singing while my eyes 
are filled with tears.



Hay unos ojos que si me miran
Hacen que mi alma tiemble de amor
Son unos ojos tan primorosos
Ojos más lindos no he visto yo

Ay, quien pudiera mirarse en ellos
Ay, quien pudiera besarlos más
Gozando siempre de sus destellos
Y no olvidarlos nunca jamás...


This is a day of celebration so now let's change the mood and play some of her other favorite songs.

Bajo la sombra de un árbol
Y al compas de mi guitarra
Canto alegre este huapango
Porque la vida se acaba
Y quiero morir cantando
Como muere la cigarra...




Pero si vieras
Cómo son lindas estas borracheras
Y ándale...


Thank you so much for your visit my beautiful people.
I continue now with my mother's celebration on my own.

LOS AMOOO!

ROOM TWO


Hello again!
So with 23 rooms to cover just for this one location, I think we are on for a long ride.
Are you all up to it? Hope you are because this is pretty exciting for me and I am having a great
time exploring these different rooms.

Now, let me share with you one of the scary moments from my real life.
As many of you already know I live in an old big house that served as a small hospital back in the 30s.
My husband at the time and I decided to stay overnight on the first day so we could clean before
moving our things and kids in. On that first day, we spent the whole day cleaning so by night time
we were extremely tired and decided to rest so we could get up early the next morning to continue.
We had taken a mattress and placed it in one of the front rooms. After taking showers we were ready to
sleep. My husband closed the door to the room and as soon as he lay down, the door opened. He got up
and closed it again, making sure it was closed right, and again, as soon as he lay down the door opened.
At this point, we were both laughing nervously wondering that maybe, just maybe, it was ghosts. :P
He gets up for the third time and again closes the door but this time waits for a while before laying down.
The door remained closed, until, he lay down again minutes later. 
It was confirmed, there were ghosts!
We moved the mattress to another room and closed the door. Our door didn't open however
we could clearly hear the previous door open and close during the night.


Welcome, this is

“Accursed creator!
Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!

While vampires make me weak at the knees, Frankenstein makes me weak at the heart.
I find myself feeling so sad for this monster, wanting to protect him and keep him safe.
It is funny how the monster in this movie is more like the victim, and everyone else
is the monster.


“Oh! Stars and clouds and winds, ye are all about to mock me; 
if ye really pity me, crush sensation and memory; 
let me become as nought; but if not, depart, depart, a
nd leave me in darkness.”
― Mary Shelley


“Like one who, on a lonely road,
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And, having once turned round, walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread. -
Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner.”
― Mary Shelley

On to our third room, please follow me!

Too Much Heaven In Wonderland

Featuring
THALIA HECKROTH



I'm Alice, waiting for Mr. White Rabbit
who's running late.
This is no party so why are there three wine glasses served?
I've already lost my head to the worries
and not to the Queen Of Hearts' orders for
"OFF WITH HER HEAD!"

I just hope she's not the mystery guest who will be joining us.
Maybe it's Cheshire or Mr. Mad Hatter
but who really knows?
Tick-Tock the clock keeps ticking and still, no one shows.
DRINK ME, DRINK ME!
Maybe this is a one-woman show.
But what a sad thing is to be drinking alone.
Gulp
Gulp
Gulp...




Purples, pinks, and silvers and sparkles and golds...
WAIT! I didn't see golds anywhere while I waited for my guests that never arrived.
The gold must be from the Youtube video above which doesn't go at all with my original color theme
of purples, pinks, silvers, and sparkles for this post, but I just couldn't resist sharing it with you.
Who doesn't know the Bee Gees but I bet you had never seen them so adorably small. ;)

And by the way, I really didn't drink all three wine glasses. In reality, I don't even drink
a small drop of alcohol, I never have, but my Steppenwolf always insists that I take at least one
small sip of his drink so I cheat, I just wet my lips every time. Shhh, don't tell him, this is our secret. ;)


If I were to drink even a small sip, I would get drunk, for sure. And I probably wouldn't do
drunk well. It is this way, in my opinion, however, as a person is feeling, alcohol will only increase that
emotion by a lot. Happy person, happy drunk, sad person, definitely a very sad drunk. My uncle Frank is
a very good example of a happy drunk whenever he drinks. He always gets very happily loud, singing and
wanting to dance with everyone since he is already one of the sweetest and happiest individuals I know when he is
sober, just a bit shy. Now a sad drunk I just can't deal with. I get very easily down even with other people's
problems that I end up crying with them and feeling their pain. Now the aggressive drunk is definitely one
that I stay away from. You know, these are the people that after a few drinks become extremely angry
and want to beat up everyone for no reason. Now there's also the foolish drunk, who will do the
most ridiculous and embarrassing things while drunk like taking their clothes off in public or throwing up
all over and thinking it is funny. There is also the sleeping beauty drunk that after some drinks just stays
very quietly still staring at a wall before they pass out.

Now, my last drunk is the passionate one and the one I will place my Steppenwolf in whenever he drinks.
This type becomes very loving and passionate. Touchy here and there and can't
keep their hand and lips to themselves which I don't mind at all. For some strange reason, the smell of
alcohol on my man excites me. It is like an aphrodisiac for me. Not beer though, that is a total turn-off, thank
god Steppenwolf hates beer.


So there you have it!
Drinking and turn-ons,
the little Bee Gees, and a beautiful location of purples, pinks, and silvers
and sparkles for you to visit.

Thanks For Reading!
Much love,
Lori Novo
