Sign Your Name Across My Heart

 OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER & PERSONAL UPDATE

Lori & Sunny

"Compassion Begins Where Judgment Ends"

True empathy, kindness, and understanding can only exist when we stop evaluating,

blaming, or moralizing others' behaviors.

It signifies that by releasing the need to judge, we can see the human struggle behind actions,

offering grace instead of criticism, and acknowledging our shared vulnerability.

Empathy Over Evaluation: Instead of condemning a mistake,

you try to understand the pain or circumstances that caused it.

✺

Letting Go of Ego: Judgement often stems from our own insecurities and desire for control,

whereas compassion requires humility.

✺

Seeing the "Wound," Not the Behavior: It is the practice of recognizing that people's actions

are often triggered by hidden battles.

✺

"I May Not Get It, But I See You": It is a quiet acceptance of another's journey,

even if you do not understand their choices.

Hello Beautiful World!

Tonight, I want to share with you the beautiful quote above, along with its meaning,

which I found in my Google search. While waiting for my Steppenwolf at Tempura Island, this beautiful

quote I had saved a while back came to mind, so I thought I'd share it with you.

So immediately, I started taking the above pictures to use for a Personal Update blog post for the quote.

Soon after my husband joined me at Tai Chi, however...

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): baby i wanna hold you

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): lets go dance

Lori Novo: ;)

Sents me teleport to join him at Hypnotic Romance, one of our favorite dancing spots.

Lori Novo: ty my love
Lori Novo: muahhhh baby
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzz

And then, this song began to play...

Sign Your Name

~ Sananda Maitreya ~

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): sign your name acrosss my heart..

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzzzz

Lori Novo: i did the day u made me urs baby ;)

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): :))

Lori Novo: muahhhh

And the night was beautiful, as they always are with him.

Lori Novo: love u baby

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): dancing is better than tai chi

Lori Novo: yes, because we have body contact ;)

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): yeah baby

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): i want you close

Lori Novo: ;)

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): feel you move smell your scent

Lori Novo: touch your skin

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): see your eyes smile...

I tell you, after 14 years (plus ;) this amazing man continues to rock my world and melt my heart every day.

He is truly one of a kind, and I am so lucky to have his heart. I am complete, I search no more.

I have found my true love, forever.

Thanks For Reading!

I'm The Bad Guy?

Writing this for a friend of a friend. Winks.

“Bittersweet? No, just bitter, the taste of your tongue.

Words you can’t have back, so they linger.”

― Coco J. Ginger

Dreamer

~ Uh Huh Her ~

Could it be possible that while she thought she was being good, she was actually the villain in the story?

That had to be it!

What else could it mean when people gathered and discussed her in such a negative light?

But it was confusing to her; those same people smiled at her and proclaimed love and devotion to her every day.

They screamed to the world how sweet and wonderful she was and how lucky they felt to have her in their lives.

But behind her, away from where her ears could hear, it had been a different story.

There was no kindness in their words when her name was mentioned. They took turns ditching 

dirt at her and burying her under their betrayal...

⟣❤♥♡♡❤♥♡♡❤⟢

“Often people that criticise your life are usually the same people that don't know

the price you paid to get where you are today. True friends see the full picture of your soul.”

― Shannon Alder

⟣❤♥♡♡❤♥♡♡❤⟢

"But..." she thought, if they had so much to say about her, they surely must have their reasons.

And sadness and doubt begin to sink in. The realization of discovering that perhaps she had been the

bad guy all along, just like in the scene in the 1993 American action/drama film FALLING DOWN,

 starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall, when William Foster (Michael Douglas)

realizes that he was actually "the bad guy".

*By the way, one of the best films ever, in my opinion, and one of my top ten scenes from a film.

"I'm the bad guy?

How did that happen?"

Yes, with their words, doubt was implanted in her head about what kind of person she really was.

And sadness began to sink in, making her want to run away, away from them and never come back

If there was only judgment in their words, why would they still want her to stick around, right?

“Let them judge you.

Let them misunderstand you.

Let them gossip about you.

Their opinions aren’t your problem.

You stay kind, committed to love,

and free in your authenticity.

No matter what they do or say,

don’t you dare doubt your worth

or the beauty of your truth.

Just keep on shining like you do.”

― Scott Stabile

But she was stronger than they were, stronger than their words and their judgments,

and instead of anger, all she felt for them was sadness...

"Poor, poor friends. Don't they know that words are more hurtful than punches?

Punch me in the face and leave me with a bloody broken nose. That will heal with time.

But your unkind words will be tattooed in the deepest part of my heart and stay

there forever. Even forgiveness can't erase them." And the trust she once had in them. won't ever be the same.

Hello Beautiful World!

Today I celebrate the tender softness that was created in me

I am not ashamed of my tears.

They do not make me weak

But they enrich the human that I am.

They are a sign and proof that I care,

that I feel,

and that I am very much alive.

Today I celebrate my tears of sadness,

they teach me to better appreciate

tears of joy.

Today I celebrate my tears of joy,

they teach me that joy is always found after the sadness.

All that is needed is patience, endurance, and faith.

Thanks For Reading!

Much love,

Lori Novo

 LITTLE DARLINGS

Hello Beautiful World!

I am very happy to introduce to you our newest little darling.

This is the section of the blog that is dedicated to the infant, the toddler, the child avatar.

The representation of innocence in Second Life.

These are the little ones that I come across during my outings.

"Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreamin'

So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you, everything's funny

You got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have honey

If you could stay like that..."

-lyrics

Never Grow Up

~ Taylor Swift ~

Please meet Amerie Blossom Prospero (amerieappleblossom)!

Amerie has been in Second Life for 8 years and 2 months, but still remains a beautiful, sweet toddler.

Cute as a button, looking to buy something pretty, perhaps more stickers for her adorable little

face.

"Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little

Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up..."

-lyrics

Amerie has a beautiful sweetness about herself. Her eyes sparkle with the purest innocence

that can only be found in a child, full of magic and wonder.

And her smile, rays of sunshine that can brighten everything around her.

And another thing that Amarie has is a beautiful, loving family. ♥

♥ Family is not about blood.

It's about who's willing to hold your hand when you need it the most. ♥

-From Her Profile

"Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up..."

-lyrics

Players Only Love You When They're Playin'

Dedicated to all the players out there. :P

"I heard you're a player. Nice to meet you, I'm the coach."

“Was I bitter? Absolutely. Hurt? You bet your sweet ass I was hurt. 

Who doesn't feel a part of their heart break at rejection.

You ask yourself every question you can think of, what, why, how come,

and then your sadness turns to anger.

That's my favorite part. It drives me, feeds me, and makes one hell of a story.”

― Jennifer Salaiz

Dance Me To The End Of Love

FLICKR

“It flowed and swam around her, filling her blood,

and if she could have done so, she would have melted into the melody,

become the rolling drums, the soaring violins, the clashing cymbals with the counter-beat,

the horns and reeds with their high-arcing song.

There wasn't enough space inside her for the sound,

for all it made her feel- not enough space in her mind, her heart, her body; 

and all she could do to honour it, worship it, was dance.”

― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Silver Flames
