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
💛

I Hope You Dance



Hello Beautiful World and A Very Happy Monday To All!
I want to wish you all a new week full of magic and adventures. Full of sunshine, beautiful smiles, 
but most of all, much love! May kindness follow you wherever you go.

Let's start the week with this beautiful song, enjoy!




I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance (dance)
I hope you dance (dance)

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin'

Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance


 I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion)
I hope you dance (always rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their years)
I hope you dance (and wonder where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance, I hope you dance (dance)
I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion)
I hope you dance (always rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their years)
I hope you dance (and wonder where those years have gone)

Tell me who wants to look back on their years (dance)
And wonder where those years have gone (dance)

You Make Me Want to Feel

 Featuring LOTUS Eyes

Hello Beautiful World!

I just enjoyed my first cup of coffee of the day and I am now feeling warmer in this cold weather.
I find coffee a very comfy drink for any situation. It gives comfort and a warm feeling just like
a soft and fluffy blanket does. I was also finally able to eat something since those son-of-a-biscuits
cleaned my bank account the other day. I had lost my appetite since then but today I woke up feeling
 a bit hungry and had a delicious egg and bacon taquito from Whataburger, yummy yummy in the tummy ;)
Now I am looking forward to what I'll be having for lunch, hey, I need to catch up on my
meals. I know my Steppenwolf will be glad to hear this. He is always worrying and checking on me
to make sure that I am eating.

So as you all know my American friends, we had truly an insane day yesterday at our US Capitol
building when all hell broke loose. The thing is that when everything was happening, I was fast
asleep, and by the time I woke up it was already old news. To be honest with you, I feel so ashamed
right now, I bet the rest of the world is thinking "Those crazy Americans!"


My song choice of the day is from one of my favorite bands, Angus & Julia Stone.
Really, there's not one song from them that I do not like. I still remember the very first time I
ever heard them sing it was while I was visiting Cica Ghost's Rust sim back in 2013, and "Lonely
Hands" started playing and I couldn't believe my ears. It immediately in that moment became my favorite song
and now, it still continues to be one of my top choices...

I bit my tongue in the awkward conversation
I met you once and I'd fallen for your notions.
Do you believe that there's treasures in the ocean
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Things I've never felt before.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
No lonely hands grab my suitcase full of nothing
I don't know why
I don't know why
You took me in gave me something to believe in
I don't know why.…

Laters my beautiful people!
Much love,
Lori Novo

Cold bones. Yeah, that's my love

Does she know that we bleed the same?

Happy New Year my beautiful people and hello beautiful world!


And so I begin the new year with a sad song. It is not that I am sad, 
I am actually very excited and hope that this, 
will be a healing year for all of us. <3 
Now my song choice is simply because I find beauty in sadness for some strange reason, 
I really can't explain it. Even in the happiest of my days 
you will find me listening to sad music or watching a very sad movie.

Any new year's resolutions?
None for me thank you!
Why bother really if in a few months I'll be breaking every new year resolution I made.
I'll simply take it day by day in making one thing about my life better, even if it is the
smallest of things, for example, cleaning my socks drawer.
This way, I don't feel the pressure of having (must) work on any strict resolutions,
I don't work well under pressure anyway.
I live life easy sailing if you know what I mean.
 I don't make plans that I can't stick to or promises that I can't keep.
Now, a task a day (big or small) will surely make my life better.

Thanks for stopping by my beautiful people,
keep smiling and keep the faith that this year will be much better than the last one.

Much Love,
Lori Novo
♥
