You Loving You

“My Dear Friend,

Don't ever allow yourself to forget how incredibly special you are, even for a single second.

Without you, the world would not be as magnificent.

Let yourself remember to love again, starting with you loving you.”

And I Love You More

For my Steppenwolf. Te amo baby! <3

“When I say I love you more, I don’t mean I love you more than you love me.

I mean I love you more than the bad days ahead of us,

I love you more than any fight we will ever have.

I love you more than the distance between us,

I love you more than any obstacle that could try and come between us.

I love you the most.”

Every You

At The Crossroads

My heart breaks into a million pieces each time.

But I am a warrior, with the strength of a dozen women.

Yet, never heartless to the heart's emotions.

Strength Of A Woman

~ Lee Newton ~

Hardened by the pain, and softened by my love for life.

I continue to walk in the rain.

Finding the beginning of a new chapter

each time I come to a crossroads.

And my story will be a happy or sad one.

Depending on the path I decide to follow.

However, I never know which path is the right one

and that is how I have made so many mistakes.

Costly mistakes that I rather forget

because they make me feel regretful and ashamed.

And I understand there are lessons to be learned

with every encounter, experience, and journey.

But oh how I wish I could retract my steps from some experiences

to avoid the dark skies and endless cruel rains.

But as time passes by, I continue to learn

how to shield myself by building up my walls

higher, much higher, and stronger when necessary.

And I have learned when it is safe to bring those walls

down to let the sunshine in and walk down life's path again.

And that is when a new life begins every time I reach a crossroads.

Thanks For Reading

70 BEST SECOND LIFE FASHION BLOGS 2024

The best Second Life Fashion blogs from thousands of blogs, websites & influencers, and the web 

ranked by traffic, social media followers & freshness.

And we are not even trying. We are just here having fun enjoying the ride, YEEHAW!

Howdy partner, welcome to * 80Days * COPPER CANYON & WIND RIVER (Moderate)

Sim Description

Copper Canyon is a barren frontier area in the Old West. Under the burning sun lies an arid landscape

of red rocks, forming the canyon after which the area was named. WIND RIVER, in contrast, 

is a busy Wild West town amid high green hills. Photogenic, RP

“The Wild West didn't have much in the way of forensics;

when you saw the bullet hole you'd say, 'That's prob'ly what kilt 'im.”

― P.K. Vandcast

LOL, OMG love this quote. It is sooo funny LOL!!! :P

Can't stop laughing.

OMG, the tiny pictures are sooo cute. But if you click them they'll grow. Don't worry, they don't bite. ;)

But really, this location is one of the best I've seen. A great place for riding horses and taking pictures.

One of my favorite things about this place is that most of the buildings are actually decorated

inside. With furniture and all, also great for indoor photography.

How about some cowgirl quotes now from some famous people? Here are some of my favorites. ;)

●"Cowgirls don't cry, they just dust off and ride." – Brooks & Dunn

●"Good girls are made of sugar and spice, cowgirls are made of whiskey on ice." – Rita Cynder

●"She's whiskey in a teacup." – Unknown

●"Don't be a lady, be a legend." – Dolly Parton

●"A cowgirl is a woman with guts and a horse." – Unknown

●"Give a girl the right pair of boots and she can conquer the world." – Marilyn Monroe

Now, we have come to the highlight of my outings, and that is when I get the honor of meeting beautiful

people. During my visit to * 80Days * COPPER CANYON & WIND RIVER I got the chance to meet a

beautiful couple. They are Anna Thespian (annaerwins) and TONY Thespian, both beautiful people both

inside and out. When I first noticed them I smiled because they looked so beautiful together. And

after I talked to them I felt how friendly and kind they both were. Sending a HUGE hug to both of them.

May their love continue growing and they always find much happiness in each other. ♥

Next, we have Don Logan (donlogan2000), top left pic, absolutely one of the friendliest people

you can meet. He is actually the one who with the friendliness that he showed me broke the funk I was

in about continuing to feature other people in my blog. I had decided not to do it anymore 

for reasons I will explain very soon. But Don reminded me of the joy I feel every time I introduce the

beautiful people I meet in Second Life. So really it is thanks to him that I will start once again going

paparazzi on everyone. ;) Thank you Don, sending a hug your way, Cheers!

Now who doesn't know NadySapa (Top-right Pic)! This beautiful-rare beauty is no other than the owner

and pose designer of Sapa Poses. She is the one person I have run into more times than any other person

I know. I am not sure if she is always following me or if I am the one following her. But no matter who

is following who, it is always wonderful to see her. She always has an interesting and beautiful, different

look. A hug going her way!

Now we finally come to the end.

I was very happy when my Steppenwolf joined me in this exploration.

After riding our horses through the dust, we needed a drink, so we visited the town's saloon

for some whisky.

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): more whiskey here!

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): damn this place is slow

Lori Novo: and make them a double

Lori Novo: AND HURRY!!!

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): wheres the barkeep?

After we got kicked out for being too loud and causing trouble, for good reason, we went back to our

hotel room.

"DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAAAAA

DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAAAA!

Cause I saddle up my horse

and I ride into the city

I make a lot of noise

Cause the girls

They are so pretty

Riding up and down Broadway

on my old stud Leroy

And the girls say

Save a horse, ride a cowboy.

Everybody says

Save a horse, Ride a cowboy..."

Laters!

Super Freaky Monday

ON A DARE!

Mmm, I wonder if my Steppenwolf is thinking of me right now...

Oh there you are my beautiful people, welcome! <3

Hello beautiful Second Life and a very happy Monday to all!

Super Freak

- Rick James -

Now, I know I haven't been writing real blog posts these past few days but I don't understand the confusion.

It's me, really, trust me so don't try to adjust your televisions, I mean, your graphics.

Simply enjoy the beautiful sight before you and breathe me in. Now, wasn't that so refreshing?

Like a beautiful April shower, or in today's case, more of a thunderstorm. Yes, it is beginning to get

stormy on my side of the world, but I am loving it.

What you are seeing is me wearing the complete FRIDERIKE avatar from the Ugly People Collection

that I found the other day for 5L$ in the Marketplace HERE.

BROOOOM!

Oh lord, that was thunder in real life. [Hides under the bed and continues working on this blog post.]

So as I was saying, my new look cost me only 5L so that explains it all. 

It is not the best in quality since it is a very, and I mean a very old item from about 100 years ago.

Ok, maybe I am exaggerating a little here, better say about 98 years ago just to be safe. 

But while my new FRIDERIKE avatar may be old, very old, cheap looking, and ugly, to me she is

simply adorable and full of laughter. I seriously couldn't stop laughing when I first tried her on.

I immediately IMed my bestie Carmi and sent her a photo of me in my new look, and she too LOLed

so loud that I could almost hear her...

BROOOOM! Oh wait, that wasn't her, it was just thunder again.

Now, Carmi is just as crazy and weird as I am, and when we get together you can't imagine

our conversations and how weird they can get. Everything from coordinating ant races to how much I

am scared of vaginas since I think they look like something from out in space. Mhm, we do talk about

all those things, but in a serious way. :P

One thing about Carmi and me is that we can find fun potential in just about anything,

and in this case, my FRIDERIKE new look. She challenged me to a dare I couldn't resist because

if it involved...

3 Cups of Weirdness

1/2 Pound of Craziness

1 Gallon of Laughter.

Mix all three ingredients together in a dare, you can sure count me in!

Really, what can go wrong? The results can only result in a delicious cake of fun and laughter

where everyone around and involved gets to have a slice.

BROOOOM!

So the original dare was to go to a store where there were people and try some clothes on.

Unfortunately, the only things removable from FRIDERIKE are the hat and hair so Carmi changed the

dare to a hair store of my choice and stayed there for 15 minutes trying hair on. GOT IT!

I picked Doux because I knew there were always people there and ran excitedly to my targeted area...

I was a bit disappointed not to see as many people as I was hoping for when I first arrived.

However, I had a dare on hand to do and nothing was going to stop me now.

But when I was about to start, Vivi IMed me just to say...

Vivi: yu two are crazy ROFL

Lori Novo: what? what do you mean?

Lori Novo: lol :P

Vivi: crazy... crazy

Lori Novo: LOOOL what????? :P...

So just talking with her took about 10 to 15 minutes while I was standing in the middle

of Doux Hair store.

Finally, I was able to begin with the task in hand and off with the hair, sending my

wig across the store and landing on the floor scaring people away thinking it was a huge rat.

STORE SPEAKER

"Clean-up on aisle 10, rat on the loose."

I actually ended up trying many different hairstyles because I was having so much fun.

I even forgot that I was on a dare, surrounded by beautiful people, and looking the way I was.

I was in my own world, laughing, feeling happy, and enjoying every minute of it.

I say I stayed at Doux for at least an hour, and not wanting the fun to end.

But the time to leave arrived sooner than I wanted since I was starving and my tummy

began to growl, and for a moment there I thought that my FRIDERIKE avatar included some

weird sound effects, but no, it was just my tummy screaming to me, "WOMAN, FEED ME!"

But the two things I learned from this dare were, first, Doux hair is so amazingly created that it'll look great

no matter what you put it on. And second, that even looking the way I was looking I made some male

heads turn (winks). I stood out from the crowd, my difference made me irresistibly unique.

And just like my good friend Jet Ryker (jetryker) says...

"And folks... we all need to remember: 

You might be the prettiest, most juicy and succulent peach in the orchard....

but there are still people who don't like peaches."

BROOOOM!BROOOOM!BROOOOM!

See ya, over and out!

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

Please forgive me for I am about to show you a whole bunch of pictures with my face plastered in most of them.

But in my defense, this is another great way of showing a beautiful location and the 

great outfit I am wearing from one of my blog sponsors, :: pm :: Brooke Outfit. What I love about

this outfit is that you can style it in many different ways, casual, biker chic, cowgirl, etc.

Of course, I opted for the cowgirl style since Texan blood runs through my veins, where we wear

the kicker hats and boots and where everything is bigger as they say...

EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS

except for me of course, I come in mini-fun size. ;)

02 Mutresse - Hiding - Red Pandas

But Doherty Lori, we are not in Kansas Texas anymore.

We sure are not y'all. :P

Welcome, this is The Nature Collective - Moorcroft Forest Trails (Moderate)

Sim Description

Experience peace at The Nature Collective's Moorcroft Forest Trail. Explore on foot or horseback

and discover insights into rich flora and fauna amid the serene landscape,

where each step is a journey into the quiet beauty of the natural world.

I actually have visited this great sim and its surroundings before on different occasions,

but have blogged only once, one of the main spots in the past, Here.

Today, I spent a good two hours exploring the area and learning so many interesting nature

facts along the way, for example;

Random Bee Facts:

Flowers use all kinds of methods to attract bees, such as brightly colored petals and scents.

The honey bee is the only insect that produces food eaten by man.

Bees pollinate approximately 130 agricultural crops in the US including fruit, fiber, nut,

and vegetable crops.

One of the largest threats to bees is a lack of safe habitats where they can build homes

and find a variety of food sources.

Honeybees also have the ability to recognize individual human faces.

If bees disappeared there would be no more pollination and humankind would only have 

four more years of life left.

While I was exploring I kept checking to see if I could find someone there to chat with and take

their picture, since y'all already know how much I love to include other people in my blog posts.

Unfortunately, people kept coming and leaving right away, so I really never had a chance to 

say hello, maybe next time, fingers crossed. ;)

Before I leave I would like to share a real-life cheating moment that happened to me with the first

boyfriend I had. He and I at the time loved dressing in Western clothes, you know, the hats, boots,

jeans, big buckle belts, etc., AND we loved our Friday night high school football games.

We wouldn't miss a game, even when our team had to play in other cities.

Anyway, it was going to be his birthday and I bought him a pair of western boots that

he liked. All my 400+ dollar savings went into his boots. However, he would never wear them

and I kept asking him why, to which he would always say he was saving them for a special occasion.

Time passed and football season began, and again, we began attending every game but then he started

canceling on me, due to having to work Friday nights, so he said. So I lost interest in going to the

games. But then on the last game of the season, I decided to go with some friends. When the game was

over and as we were going down the bleachers I bumped into him, he was with a girl, holding hands.

It turned out that he had started dating her too and he had been going to the games with her.

I was in tears not really knowing what to say or do. But then I noticed that he was wearing the

boots I had gifted him, that is when all hell broke loose. I really don't know how, but mini-me

reached all the way up to this giant's cheek and gave him a good slap as I screamed at him

"So this is the special occasion you were waiting for?!" and then I took off running heartbroken.

He ran after me, the girl ran after him, and my friends were not far behind. Once by the car, he

kept begging me to forgive him, but I was in tears, and so was his other girlfriend.

Before leaving, my friends literally took the boots off him which I really didn't care for.

I ended up giving them to one of my brothers after they had been sitting in my closet,

collecting dust for almost a year. My ex continued to try to convince me to take him back

for some time, but I couldn't. I couldn't forgive him. The trust and respect were gone.

Remember, CHEATING IS A CHOICE, NOT A MISTAKE!

Thanks For Reading!

Much love,

Lori Novo
