“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always”
Mahatma Gandhi
New Year New Me continues to resonate thanks to Collabor88 this month. Today I’m going to stretch and bend my mesh to some Yoga thanks to this amazingly cute bag from LaGyo. I’m going to be comfy in these top and bottom set from House of Hucci that’s sexy and functional for some serious inner peace.
What I need to do though is burrow a tunnel over to the studio. Even though it’s just a short land bridge across the islands to where Cajsa built our work out gym, it’s gonna be a cold run. I have also ordered some protein powders as I am planning to do more intense exercises. You may also incorporate NativePath Original Collagen Peptides to your diet for healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints.
Two VERY cute items to pick up this month at Collabor88 for you gym rats are – first this bracelet also from LaGyo – a close up.
Perfect for the gymrat you love, even if it’s yourself!
And this necklace from Yummy.

And now I’m out to make my mesh healthier. Wish me luck!

I’m face humping myself a bit in this new skin from Belleza for Catwa. I wear BIBI in Catwa and I have to admit, this is a really pretty look for her. I like it a lot.
Hop over to Belleza and give Callie a demo, she’s a great pick up for your Catwa head.

I read a bit recently of a thread where newer bloggers were talking about how discouraged they were at getting turned down. I know exactly how that is. It’s discouraging when your name doesn’t show up on the list, when you think you’re good enough – or KNOW you’re good enough for XYZ and don’t get chosen.
It happens to ALL of us. Continue reading
I actually like Mondays. They’re the start of a new week. It’s the old adage “One Day or Day One” and even though SUNDAY truly starts the week Monday is where I feel like it’s kicking off for me.
Monday is where I hit my stride. Continue reading
Yesterday, three million women and men marched in every state and on every continent in the world. Every continent, even Antarctica. In 51° below Kotzebue, Alaska, people marched. In sunshine and rain storms, desert heat and arctic cold, people gathered to resist. Of course, the naysayers mocked and dismissed. “Resistance is futile,” they quote The Borg, an implicit confession of corruption. They forget, the Borg is destroyed in the end.

Cajsa built us a gym on our islands, which really feels even better than my converted bathroom for working out. There is something to be said for getting away from your life and selfishly focusing on yourself for a little. It calms me, it helps me better at focusing on other people when I get that time away. It makes me WANT to get back inside my own house and I feel a little joyful about it when I’ve put everything into a hard work out.
I love it. Continue reading
Every month I write a couple articles for ECLIPSE Magazine. The January issue is out and I encourage you to check it out, not just for my own efforts (which include the cover story on Mischief Managed and the regular Voices from the Grid) but for a fascinating article on art, the exciting fashion spreads, and all the other great articles.
Resistance requires strength.

Epictetus wrote in the Enchiridion, “The things in our control are by nature free, unrestrained, unhindered.” We control our own actions, words, opinions, what we like, what we don’t like, and what we want. If we stick to what we control, he suggests, we are free of restraint. It is when we try to influence the things outside our control that we are trapped. It’s good advice. The difficulty is figuring out what we can control.
That’s been on my mind a lot. There’s a lot I don’t like happening, but what can I control? I can choose despair or resistance, that’s up to me. I need to focus on what I can do, not what I wish would happen. So even though I feel like kicking more than an exercise bag, I will instead focus my mind and my heart on resisting despair.
