Love In A Whisper

Who We Love 

- Sam Smith & Ed Sheeran -

"It's not wrong

To want the world for someone

It's not a feeling you can run from

'Cause we love who we love.

So let go

You don't know better than your heart knows

Whether they're here or long gone

We love who we love

Yeah, we love who we love..."

-lyrics

Hello Beautiful World!

It'll be seven years on April 10 that my beautiful mother passed away. The sadness of losing

her seems to grow more and more with time. I still remember the last time I saw her smiling

at me, oh, what a beautiful smile she had. I also remember the last kiss I gave her on her forehead 

as she gave me her blessing when I visited her. Little did I know that that would be the last time I would

see her. If I had only known, I would have showered her with kisses and embraced her in the tightest

hug ever. But we really never know, that is why we need to not hold back in expressing all the love

we feel for those that are so dear to our hearts. One day, they will be gone and we will wish we had

done much more for them to make them feel very special.

From my mother, I learned how to love deeply, strongly, and unconditionally.

She also taught me how to continue loving those whom we let into our hearts even when they are gone.

Once the words "I love you" come out of my mouth, be sure that no matter the time, my love will

continue to dance in the wind, never to change or to end, even when it hurts.

Now I will share something very beautiful with you.

Some time ago I was missing my mother's smile so much and thought how wonderful it would

be to hear her voice again. I was crying and feeling so sad so I closed my eyes as I was trying

to remember her voice. At one point I stopped crying, and with my eyes still closed suddenly

I started to whisper my name, I don't know why...

Laura

Laura

Laura...

but it wasn't my voice that I was hearing in my whisper, it was my mother's voice saying my name...

Laura

Laura

Laura...

and since that day, whenever I want to hear my mother's voice again

all I have to do is close my eyes and whisper my name.

Much love,

Lori Novo

"Hunt" For The Price

WEEKEND SHOPPING

Let's be real, what are the odds of going shopping for a pair of shoes and returning home an hour later

with just one pair of shoes? I'll say a million to one.

How about a song?

Ahhh yes, so predictable! Please don't hate me. :P

Hello Beautiful World!

Coming to you from this beautiful location that was one of my stops

for this weekend's shopping. I hope you enjoyed your day, or still are with what is still left of it, and

enjoy going from store to store to take advantage of all the great weekend sales.

So many that I can honestly say that for me, it is one of the best weekends ever. Fortunately for us,

most of the great offers continue through tomorrow since most weekend sales run all the way through

Sunday, and some even longer.

I am sure many of you recognized my location right away.

This is Moon Seduction Store (Adult)

Where you can find everything for your avatar's needs.

Creases, veins, scratches, Makeup, Body Blush, tattoos, animations, funny poses, crazy poses,

face tattoos, body tattoos. scars, scratches, hickeys, imperfections, and add-ons.

I made a quick stop there to get the "::. Moon Seduction.:: Bra Marks Juicy Boobs" for 69L.

Not really sure why my little boobies didn't look like the ones in the ad. :P

Anyways, I really appreciate how designer Lunita Boo (lunita.boo) places all the items that are on

sale right by the landing point, making it very easy for all her customers to find them. Thankfully,

most other designers do the same. However, there's been times when the items advertised are so

hidden from view, that it is almost a real challenge to find them, more like a hunt looking for the prize.

I hate when this happens, I keep searching the store and using the "Area Search" option, and still,

the item/items are nowhere to be found. Usually, I leave feeling frustrated and somehow annoyed,

#$&%##*@#!!!

As a customer who loves to shop, more like a shopaholic, I can say there are two main elements

necessary (besides the store credits, freebies, group gifts, etc.) that motivate me to return to the same

store over and over again and continue to spend my Lindens there. And they are, as I always say, to

offer FREE demos of their products and the other thing is easy access to the advertised merchandise.

The goal is to give the customer a fun experience and for the customer to leave the store happy and

satisfied. This 100% guarantees a returning customer.

Hidden or hard-to-find items only discourage the customer and the chance of that customer returning

is very thin. If designers must place these items inside the stores making them hard to be spotted,

arrows that direct us to their location are a good option, many other designers do this, and it

it is a very effective way that works for me, I don't mind walking deep into a store if I know that I

am being guided to the right place.

But moving on to a more pleasant subject that we all love, store credit!

Again, just want to remind you, more like encourage you to check the stores you go to and check to see

 if you have store credit accumulated. You'll be surprised to find that in some stores, where you least

expect it, there is store credit waiting for you. :)

Today, I was able to use my store credit in four different stores, MICHAN (Moderate)

was one of them, where I was able to use 425Lindens of my store credit to get the

"Sunny Bracelets - Light Fatpack" for free.

And last but not least, one of my favorite weekend-sales purchases I made today was the

[C] Face Twitching AO - HUD for 60L. Though there was no demo for this item, it was recommended

to me by a friend, and that is the reason I was willing to risk getting it without trying a demo first,

and honestly, I loved it! It contains eyeblinks, and twitching of eyes, lips, and nose.

Really a fun item to get.

Well, this is all for now my beautiful people.

Keep beautiful and spend your Lindens wisely!

Over & Out!

Much love,

Lori Novo

A Two-Piece Puzzle

Featuring Nerido

Flickr

Without a doubt, nothing stays the same in this life.

People change, situations, and relationships, all while life keeps going on.

The Story - Brandi Carlile

Hello Beautiful World!

We come to a point in life where all those things that once made us smile and made us feel so alive

now are merely far-gone memories. People change and move on and so I come to the realization that

second chances will never be the same as how things were in the beginning.

Nothing stays the same,

or at least not the same way as we first encountered.

There is no point in trying to fit in a familiar space, pieces that with time have changed. They won't

fit in the same as before no matter how hard you try to make them. The missing pieces in the puzzle have definitely changed

over time and the only thing that remains is the memory of how all those pieces fit so beautifully perfectly in the past. 

And so you find yourself with a half-filled puzzle, you alone as one piece.

Flickr

But sometimes if you are lucky enough there will be a single piece that will not only stay the same 

but will become enough on its own to cover the other half of the puzzle perfectly. It

becomes everything you need to smile and know that you are really blessed to have such a beautiful

treasure that in the long run, that is how it was meant to be. You and your special piece, fitting

together in a beautiful two-piece puzzle, like two halves cut from the same apple.

Thank you baby (Steppenwolf) for completing me.

Thanks for reading my beautiful people!

Much love,

Lori Novo
