Musings

Community Peace.

One of the things I’ve found to be healing is participating in crafting and community roleplay. I’m grateful to own a farm near Ciampi, a relaxing Italian village in Heterocera, and decided to take a trip up one day to see if the overflow of MyStory goods bursting from my virtual pockets could be of …

The little mermaid.

I wanna be where the people are, I wanna see, wanna see them dancin’… 🎶 I love taking on new looks and forms as the mood strikes me and have been longing for a vacation. Luckily, I came across Weekend 1 of the Conch Island Music & Arts Festival this past weekend, and got to …

Dog Days.

I love dogs. My first memory of having a dog in the real world was a tiny golden lab I received for Christmas when I was around 7 or 8, found under our Christmas tree in a little red bow. The love that I felt in that moment, embracing and meeting the pup for the …

Spring.

There’s something in the air that evokes a feeling of renewal this season. Whether it’s the overwhelming sensation of blooming, or the feeling of the sun through the virtual clouds, it’s always refreshing to welcome the energies of spring in SL. Each season, I take time to visit the places that send my imagination into …

Spotlight.

I’m not one to bask in the spotlight. I’m an introvert and find peace in my thoughts, on my land, or in my car as I’m traveling mainland. It was a deep honor (and minor shock) to have received an invitation to be featured on SL Spotlight and to be recognized for my contributions to …

Coffee.

I love visiting coffee shops around mainland. Whether I’m intentionally driving to visit a coffee shop or stopping by one as I travel, it’s always beautiful to see how residents cultivate peace. What does it mean to create a space that feels warm, inviting, rich in sumptuous scents, and welcoming? Using the right assets in …

Daydream.

Sometimes amid the movement of all that goes on in my SL experience I like to find places to daydream. Today felt like as good a day as any to stop, take a moment, and hang with some bunnies. What are you doing to be introspective today? I’m also a customer support person for a …

Special delivery.

When I’m not exploring, building, or cultivating community, I often like to start or engage in spontaneous roleplay. Whether I’m a My Litte Pony character or alien engaged in interstellar missions, I find my way to scenarios that tap into joy and my creative flow. Today and every Friday after 3pm SLT, I turn into …

Through their eyes.

Sometimes when other folks look at my avi, I wonder if they see me. My avi does not look like me, but she definitely feels like me. I choose to ‘play’ my SL experience as myself, and while I understand that’s a different experience than others, it suits me. When my avi is upset about …

Connections.

Lately, I’ve been diligently working on building my first collaborative community, Dulla Centre. One of the things I’ve learned over the years of building on and for mainland is that building inroads to connection and communication are both important in fostering a cohesive space. As I move to create an area that all will enjoy, …
