two of me? or is there more
Sometimes I am good, and other times, well… I want to play. The picture on the right is of me where I accepted the challenge of wearing a bikini. I was nervous being half-dressed like that, and couldn’t stand still. So the picture is a bit fuzzy, but then that’s ok, cuz you can’t see all my fat and bumps.
These were outfits I made to sell in my little shop. The avatar is a Dinky made by a very talented artist in Second Life (Etheria Parrott) She has variety of dinky avatars to pick from, I happen to be a sealpoint and sometimes a lilac point Siamese.
The creative side of me can spend hours exploring the artist creations of others on the grid, and when not exploring, digital photography.

Q (that is me) can spend hours touring, taking in the sights and sounds, visiting different countries .. and never leave the comfort of my home office. I like being Q, she is fearless, she can do almost anything, she loves exploring and meeting people, and learning about the world around her. I on the other hand, can be a bit of a recluse.
This is my friend Awen who introduced me to designing and building in/on a virtual platform. It was a whole new world, and I was open to the challenge.
Life is unpredictable, our creativity, how we pereive the world around us, and how we want to express our individuality, is all part of a whole. We are blessed by being given a new canvas every day.
Seize the day, make art!

Everything you encounter is an opportunity for you to express yourself. What you choose to make of the situation is entirely up to you.

She gets very concerned when I cry and wail. Velcro (male whippet) her older brother, takes it in stride, he saw and lived through my display of raw emotion, when my husband was in his final days, and Keeper got out and ran away. Yesterday he simply got up from his favourite chair in another part of the house, to come lie beside me, to lend me his support and quietly wait it out.
My son the other day, looked at me, and said, ” Mom, its OK to cry” and of course it is, but for me, I can’t just cry, I have to be totally shaken and depleted, the body has to over-ride my happiness and stubborn mind that tells me, that there is just so much to be thankful for. And of course there always is, I am so blessed.
Time for some time out. Quality time without a cell phone, computer, laptop, or tablet. There is a reason, dogs (pets) are the best of friends. They offer unconditional love. Nothing more, nothing less.
Happy Thursday everyone.. Bom dia.


Walk slowly, for now, in this moment, you have no other place to be. SAy these words quietly to yourself, right now. Then close your eyes, take a deep breath, feeling your lungs expand smile then slowly open your eyes. Ahhhh how easy was that.

I felt like I was walking in my own wonderland. Given permission to wander and enjoy, I took full advantage and drove down towards the fields of now harvested cranberries.


This was a very special blessing, I followed through on my desire to visit the farm, there was no distraction. My reward was the intense feelings of being ONE with the environment I was in.
