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

And Your Story Begins

“Begin your new story on a blank page, 

and like lonely footprints along a snowy path,

the rest will follow...”

― Nanette L. Avery

Old Friend

~ Angus & Julia Stone ~

Hello Beautiful World!

And a very happy day/evening to everyone.

I have played the song above so many times on the blog, and though it is the same song,

I always play it with a different meaning. This time, the old friend in the lyrics represents

the first year of my Second Life. That was the time when life in Second Life was so

much easier. Some of those days still live very vividly in my mind.

Running through fields of gold, dancing in the water under the rain, and climbing trees.

I felt so free.

That first year, I walked Second Life solo for most of the time. That was the plan: to join Second Life,

but not as a social perspective, but more as a solo platform to write and take pretty pictures for a blog,

and stay away from people. Yes, I was shy. Shy and afraid of this virtual world.

But Second Life had other plans for me.

I began to meet people, some weird and scary, but for most of the time, I met nice people, wonderful people,

and very special people that I began to call friends, sisters, and brothers.

And my little blog, which was intended to be something small, just for my eyes only, still, made public,

began to create waves. Some of those waves really scared me. I didn't like the attention I was getting.

It scared me and made me very nervous. And til this day, it still does.

I wanted to do my own thing, but go unknown, unseen, unheard.

And so my Second Life's journey didn't go as planned. It grew wings on its own and took me in a

different direction. A direction unknown to me.

There are many things I am thankful for in my Second Life. But there are also many things I am

regretful of. Still, with every step, I learned and grew for the better, I hope.

Not just for myself but for those around me.

“Knowledge without application is simply knowledge.

Applying the knowledge to one’s life is wisdom — and that is the ultimate virtue”

― Kasi Kaye Iliopoulos

Now, I find myself longing for that first year and the feeling of being unknown.

I want to run through fields of gold, dance in the water in the rain, and climb trees.

And feel free, me, myself, and I, with my Steppenwolf. He is the only one I would take back with me.

That first chapter in my Second Life has been bookmarked forever.

Thanks For Reading!
