{ Going the Distance }

Argentina-Full_FINAL

I haven’t been blogging for a while.  I’ve been a bit preoccupied so bear with me and maybe by the end of this, you’ll understand why.   In Second Life, people come and go, it’s the nature of ‘the game’ (a term I use very loosely).  Our second lives often being dictated by our first lives and as it should be, but it can be hard to form relationships with people.  Along the way, if you’re lucky, you meet people that enrich your life in some way.  Maybe it’s through friendship, a common interest, love of shopping, or just being plain goofy.  And occasionally it’s through love.  I’ve seen it happen, these little fairy tales, where boy meets girl and they fall in love in SL, and even through the obstacle of distance, they find ways to persevere.  Maybe even for a lucky few, one day bringing that special bond into the real world.  Happiness is different for everyone.  But when you find it, you really need to hang onto it, enjoy it, be grateful for it, in whatever capacity you can and however long it lasts.  When you’re far apart, it’s all those little things that can matter so much.  A special message, a text, a smile, a photo, time spent together.  So this is my little tribute to “SL Love Long Distance”.

I, myself, am fortunate to have found it too.  It’s new and it’s wonderful and I’m just enjoying it one day at a time.  I hope he knows how much. 🙂

Usted es mi sol, mi única luz del sol.

Me haces feliz cuando el cielo está gris.

Nunca sabrás querida, cuánto te quiero.

Así que por favor no te lleves mi sol.

{ Drifting Dunes }

Neva-Beach-Full_FINALSo in my last post I said I had a date with the beach… and as promised, here I am at the dunes near Neva River… a beautiful beach with picturesque rocky outcrops courtesy of Studio Skye.  It was warm but with a salty breeze and I had the perfect outfit to stroll along the shore in… the cute little PLAYA top that from MIEL that was featured in FLF this past week and the new maxi skirt from DRIFT which I will admit I am loving everything from that store and Kalli keeps cranking out new stuff like nobody’s business.  BOTH items are mesh and come with a color/texture changing HUD so you can change your look easily and won’t break your inventory or your budget.

I know not everyone had the chance to see Neva River while it was open, but hope you’ve enjoyed my glimpse into this lovely paradise through some of my photos.  Neva is sure to bring us more inspiring settings in the future.

Neva-Night_FINAL

This was my “Goodnight and Farewell” tribute to the beautiful Neva River Sim… I wanted to enjoy it in the dark quiet of night.. the beautiful enchanted forest.  I stayed for quite a while even while editing the photo… listening to the trickling of the waterfall and stream beneath my feet.  It will be missed.

Many thanks again Neva and Bootney and Alex of Skye Studio for bringing us such a lovely place to come and fill us with peace.

Please listen to the music I have chosen to accompany this photo… I found it to be very fitting and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
