Our Love Is Always New

 OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER


Last night, we went dancing to Romance In The Clouds.
My sweet husband spent the night requesting songs for me. He always does that, and I love it.
Stardust is his favorite song...




Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): our love is always new baby

Lori Novo: always baby

Lori Novo: I told u last night, you make me feel like a new bride every day ;)

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzz

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): oh you lovely

Lori Novo: muahhhh

Lori Novo: te amo mi amor

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzz



After almost 15 years, this man continues to melt my heart.
I always find myself daydreaming of the beautiful nights we have, his beautiful words, and the beautiful way he loves me.
All my heartbeats are for him, and I know his are all mine.
He is my best friend, my perfect lover, my angel and hero, my loving husband...
He is my Steppenwolf.


Thanks to DJ Remo Williams (remo1williams) for making our night so special!

Point Of No Return



It was too late. I had gone too far already, and returning was not an option anymore.
I was one to always say, "I will never, ever do that!"
And so I did. It all began very slowly. Almost unfelt, like a whisper, like a feather's touch.
Now, I am way too deep, and the guilt of a broken promise has set in.

🍂


🍂

Hello Beautiful World!
The promise I mentioned that was broken is one that I made to my kids a while back.
Now, my kids hate AI with a passion, so much that they made me promise them
that I would never use AI for my photography. And so I promised them I would never.
But then I did. I asked them to let me break my promise just a little. Just enough to make a few images
and use them for a few pictures. And with that, now I am at a point where I have no intention
of going back. The thing about using AI for my backgrounds that was bothering me was that
I was using fake locations when Second Life has so many beautiful sims to visit and photograph.
So that made me feel so uneasy and even feel ashamed. But then one night I sat down and went 
through my whole blog. Post by post. And there it was: more than half of my blog's photography
was either taken in my studio, or someone else's studio, or I used backgrounds from Bearded Guy, 
Foxcity, Synnergy, etc., and I realized those were fake locations too. So why would it be wrong
if I decide to continue making my own? Right?

🍂

By the way, I sell them too. :P

The Beautiful Eerie Road



Last night...

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): today i was walking doggie on the ridge road here
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): nobody is here and the fields are empty
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): the sugar maples lining the road were standing
all aflame with their yellows and reds



Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): it was eerie baby
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): no noise no people, just the long light of the setting sun
setting the tree color afire
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): i just sat and watched the trees
they seemed to be possessed with something silent
[And Suddenly]
Lori Novo: why are you writing like that?
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): like what baby?
Lori Novo: like all poetic
Lori Novo: is it from a book?
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): no baby im wrtiting my words
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): it was strange im telling you
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): very beautiful but eerie

Yes, my Steppenwolf writes like that. And yes, I did interrupt very rudely the beautiful sentiment
that he was sharing with me. But I was enjoying every word he was saying and going in my head "awww". ;)
LOL :P

TE AMO BABY P.S.!!!

As The Seasons Change



But what is this? Lori, Me, Here, Today, Now?
What is going on?!



Hello Beautiful World & A Happy Day To All!
Before we begin, let me start by saying that I find myself missing my Steppenwols so much that I could
cry. Actually, I do cry every time I feel his absence, which is all the time... (begins to cry again!)
Over the last few months, he's been traveling a lot for work. As a global manager for the company he
works for, he is constantly traveling to every part of the world. Two months ago, he had to travel to Tokyo and returned for a few days, and now he is in London. Thankfully, I'll be having my husband very soon, in a few days, to hold very tight once again. 💛

So today I was inspired to write for my blog since it is Autumn, my favorite season/time of the year
and I loved the picture I took today using one of my backdrop texture sets.


But really, if only Autumn could last forever, I would be the happiest girl in the world.
But now, I understand all three other seasons are just as beautiful and necessary as this one.
They all have their own unique beauty and unique gifts to offer
to the land and everything and everyone around.
Now tell me, which is your favorite season of the year?

“One of the most important lessons I've come to learn is this:
We are all sailing in our own individual ship of life;
and no matter how great of a sailer you may be, we all experience seasons the same.
The storms will come, and the cold will come, the warmth shall come, 
and the blossom of spring shall also come...
― Tshepo H. Maloa

And as we learn to appreciate the beauty of each season, I believe it is very important to learn from them.
How they affect the earth, our emotions, and life. Both sides: the good and the bad.
Because one can only truly and fully learn from seeing both sides of the coin.
Life is composed not only of good moments or bad ones. Life is composed of everything from
highs to lows, and one must not seek shelter in giving a blind eye to the storms of the seasons.
One must confront them and learn from them, and this, in return, will allow us to appreciate them.

And as we learn, because there is always so much to learn from everything in life,
I want to share a very interesting YouTube video I watched the other day about Russian living...

By Nastya Abroad / Approximately Running Time 27.44 / Uploaded on June 22, 2026
[In this short documentary, I take you room by room through a genuine USSR apartment. It's part
personal story, part history - how the Soviet Union built housing for 84 million people in just 8 years,
what a "kommunalka" was, and why these "temporary" buildings still cost  $200,000 and refuse to die.]
    
I want us to learn together, grow in our knowledge about the world, other countries, cultures, traditions, faiths, etc.
About everything! Hope you enjoy the video.
Time for me to go. Please take care of each other and keep praying for peace on earth!

Much Love,
Lori Novo
💛

 PERSONAL UPDATE


With the weekend already knocking at our doors, the crowds are already gathering for the best
deals offered in-store for us. Magika obviously seems to be one of this weekend's favorite spots, 
with two bloody hairstyles, Blood-Stained, Ariel & Admire, priced at the very low price of 50L each.
The sale ends September 27.


These two great hairstyles are perfect for Halloween, which is just around the corner.
Both styles come with 10 blood-stained hair dyes, high-definition 2K textures, 2 dye sections, and fitted
mesh sized for both female and masculine avatars.


While my doggie Sunny and I were checking out the hair at Magika, we were surrounded by a wild crowd...

Cakes Gothly: GURL YOU'RE FIERCE! 
Ɲєѕѕiє Sαуℓєя Ƥαω Hαмвℓєтση (fergie.loudwater): its f*cking hair calm down
ᴀɪᴏʟɪ (mvte): why are you so mad?
ᴀɪᴏʟɪ (mvte): lol
Juan Luau (juanluau): mad?
ᴀɪᴏʟɪ (mvte): laughing my fat sad ass off
Alice (aliceoneder.beaumont): holy halloween wig

Ɲєѕѕiє, what do you mean it's just hair???
Mmmm???
There is no such thing as "just hair"!
It's hair!!! :P
The one thing we will kick, punch, and pull hair for, just like it used to be every year during the Black
Friday sales. Now that we can do our Black Friday shopping online, we can avoid all the pushing, the
black eyes, and knocked-out teeth; I surely don't miss that.
However, Second Life is fair game for competitive behavior among all lionesses to see who can get to
the hair first.




Got my hair and I'm out of here!
I tell you, I love this Second Life and all the people in it. Hugs to those in the chat! 💛

Over & Out

Something Beautiful About You


It is 4:30 am as I sit here at my desk, ready to drop some lines for you before starting this beautiful Saturday.
Hello Beautiful World!
I have always said that my soul is that of a midnight owl, or the essence of a witch,
because it is between the hour before midnight and the hour when the earth begins to get a faint glimpse
of light that I feel more alive. My mind is clear, my spirit feels light, my health is at its best, and...
I feel at peace and happy. I live while the world sleeps.... ssshhhh.
By the way, the song below is dedicated to my sweet husband, Steppenwolf.
Te Amo baby, PS!


Something beautiful about you
~ Joel Donnelly ~

“There is nothing more beautiful than someone
who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.”
― Mandy Hale

And that quote is so true; that is my Steppenwolf to me.
True beauty is not about ourselves; it is what we can do for others.
And a perfect example of this is how our beautiful Dolly Parton lived her life, R.I.P.
Always an angel to the world and to every person who came her way.
Did you know that she would always stand up to shake someone's hand?
That is how much she honored every human being. 
In READ MORE, I am sharing a YouTube video about her and Keanu Reeves.
It is truly a very beautiful and touching video that I hope you take the time to watch.
I am sure you won't regret it. ;)

Before I leave, I just want to let you all know that I have opened a new in-world shop with all
my new 2048X2048 backdrop texture sets and gachas. There are four Lucky Letter Boards with beautiful
backdrop textures to collect. The letters are set to change every 10 minutes. HERE is your ride.
I leave you now as the day begins to wake. It's gonna be an amazing day for sure! Just wait and see. ;)

Much love,
Lori Novo

Dolly Parton R.I.P.

Goodbye, Please Don't Cry.


Today, our beautiful Dolly Parton has joined the angels' choir up in heaven.
She will be missed but never forgotten for legends never die.
January 19, 1946 - August 25, 2026 (80 years old)
Rest in peace, beautiful angel. 💔

"I hope life treats you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all of this, I wish you love..."



"... I love you
I will always love you."

Exploding Heart




“She smiled, and her eyes started to drift downward.
"Lori..."
Back up to his eyes.
"You know that I'm falling in love with you, right?”
― Rainbow Rowell




Hello Beautiful World!
And a very beautiful Monday to all! 
Contrary to today's song's lyrics, I DO want to fall and keep falling in love with my Steppenwolf
who stole my heart on the night we met when, without my permission, he took me in his arms
and waltzed me into a dance that has lasted almost 15 years now. 

“Maybe love at first sight isn’t what we think it is.
Maybe it’s recognising a soul we loved in a past life and falling in love with them again.”
― Kamand Kojouri

And honestly, our waltz will continue for at least another 15 years. It will go on forever and after;
the waltz will continue in some beautiful ballroom in heaven.

Me: My baby, Te amo more than you can imagine. At this very moment, I feel so much love for you
that my heart feels like it's going to explode. TE AMO TE AMOOO!!!
Him: hi baby pls don’t explode i need your love in one beautiful you! muazzz

The above was one of the texts we exchanged this past Friday.
And this is how it is for us every day.


This is the kind of love that I wish for everyone.
A love where you feel so loved and cherished. Where you feel respected and cared for.
Where your loved one makes you feel that you are the most wonderful and beautiful thing
in their life. Where you feel safe and protected.
A love with no lies, doubts, or fears.
A love where you know you'll never be judged or criticized,
but where you will feel completely accepted and admired for who you are.
A love that lifts you and supports you in all your dreams.
A love that won't let you fall in hard times, but if we do,
they will fall with us just so they can help us find our way up again. 
A love that smiles, cries, and dreams with us.
A love that holds on tight and never lets go.
A love that lets us know it is gonna last forever.

“my love
for you
will always be
like a mountain stream.
quiet.
persistent.
continuous.”
― Sanober Khan, A Thousand Flamingos

Much Love,

For A Lifetime



Our love remains strong, unbreakable, and endless.
The lighthouse is a gift he gave me some years ago. And I keep it always on sight,
as a symbol of his love, and a reminder that he is always there for me to guide me back to peace in
his loving arms, when I find myself in the dark. I have no words to describe how much I love
this man. My heart bursts into a million emotions, all beautiful and all for him.


Tonight we danced to the song below that he dedicated to me.
I was so touched by the beautiful lyrics that I cried and couldn't contain my heart,
 which kept jumping inside of me full of adoration for him and so much joy.

A song from him dedicated to me. Enjoy!



Thank my beautiful forever love. Thank you for all the love and the smiles.
Thank you for choosing me to give your heart to, so full of love.
Thank you for making my life so beautiful every day.
Thank you baby.
Thank you.
♥
