Featuring
FIFTY5 THURSDAY
Dear Second Life,
Another Fifty5 Thursday post for you on a Friday night, you are probably used to this already,
me always arriving at the train station on a delayed train ;)
By the way, TGIF! (Thank God It's Friday).
I know most of you are out tonight having a good time and I can tell this
by how slow traffic is moving in Flickr and in the blog,
not only for me but for my Flickr and blogger friends as well ;)
It is great though, you deserve a nice and fun night out after working all week.
I've been too busy in real life and that is why
you don't see much of me in Second Life anymore.
At the moment my plan is to make tote bags, jewelry boxes, and bracelets.
The intention is to have all sorts of nice and cute things
at my business like jewelry, decorated picture frames, jewelry boxes,
decorative baby stuff, wallets, tote bags, bookmarks, etc...
I am also interested in adding merchandise from other people and some antiques.
Maybe a used book section at a cozy corner would be ideal.
I'll let you in on a little secret, I have never liked working for anyone else
and that is why I've been self-employed most of my life.
Back when I started working in my first jobs, no matter how much overtime I put in,
I noticed I wasn't getting anywhere and bills just continued to pile up.
I was so deep in debt, with school loans and credit cards, etc.
I honestly thought I wasn't gonna be able to pay everything in a lifetime.
So one day I decided to make hair bows on the side to sell for a little extra income
but to my surprise, they were selling better than what I even imagined.
Soon after, demand for my bows grew and customers were asking for other things
so I then started making jewelry and bookmarks and the same thing happened.
By then, I realized that my self-employed job was bringing me more money than my real job.
So I quit my job and never looked back.
Since that time, I never worked for anyone else again and to tell you the truth
I am not really good at taking orders from other people.
Never have and never will, that is why I decided that I work for myself
and make myself rich and not make someone else rich with my hard labor.
Being in Second Life I follow this too.
Working on my blog is working for me.
I collaborate with wonderful designers which is very different than "working" for them.
I do it because I love it and because it brings me great joy.
I do it for the art and thrill of being a blogger. I can honestly say
that if I was to be offered payment for my blogging services
that would take the interest and fun away from me and I would surely decline the offer
unless of course, I love their work, then I would gladly and freely do it ;)
The bottom line is,
I will continue to blog until I can't blog anymore, for the passion and the love of it.
Because I am always so excited and eager to share with you what our wonderful designers
have come up with. And as for real life, I can't really say I became rich but I can honestly say
that my "creativity", which I know is a gift from God, allowed me to live a comfortable life.
Who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to
save a small fortune, retire young and travel around the world
Forever Yours,
~ Lori Novo ~

I just listened to this song a few minutes ago,
Though it's kind of "down" it's still a nice song.
Hope you like it.

"I will stay with you tonight
Hold you close 'til the morning light
In the morning watch a new day rise
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
We'll do whatever just to stay alive"
