SUGAR IS NOT THE ONLY THING SWEET

A moment in time

just a little fragment of eternity

yet as significant

as the birth of a child

is a day spend with you.

You turn sadness into

chocolate mousse

with raspberry sauce.

I guess we should never take for granted the minutes and hours someone spends with us. So what does that mean "take for granted" ? Let us look at this a bit closer.

The dictionary says : 

take somebody for granted

"to not show that you are grateful to someone for helping you or that you are happy they are with you, often because they have helped you or been with you so often.

One of the problems with relationships is that after a while you begin to take each other for granted."

I am happy to say that we have never taken each other for granted. There isn't a day I wouldn't want to be with him. In fact, if there was an extra day I would spend it with him too.

Make every day special and always tell each other that the time you spend with them was wonderful, because it was.

You should marry a movie star!

So, recently I took this online quiz about "who will you marry", and here are the results:

You should marry

A Movie Star

You can handle the attention and together you make an amazing pair. You both love the parties and fancy clothes, but you also care about using your fame to help people in need. There's always a lot to do, and you really rely on each other to get through it all. Your mutual trust is the basis of your love.

To be honest here, I do not think that is gonna happen. What movie star? Maybe I can create a movie star in Second Life?

Like a murder mystery. She killed him out of rage because he did not bring her the ring with diamonds. Instead it was made out of cheap prim pixels. Hahahahaha!

Well, nobody wants to be stuck in some giant web I guess. Or do they?

 Some may say marriage is just a waste and why do it.Statistically, marriage makes men happier. And healthier. Married men live longer too. And are better off financially. Divorced men -and women - well that’s another story. 

You can moan all you want about married life and it not turning out to be some sort of giddy Disney fairytale, but research shows marriage is still a good deal. 

Statistically, you are still getting more sex than single people. If you are not, then get out now. About 40 percent of married people have sex twice a week compared to 20-25 percent of single people. If you are not, then get out now.

Of course, there is a flip side to all of this. Some marriages end up in a war and that can be stressful for sure. Yes, there are genuinely troubled relationships and very unhappy people out there. Don't be one of them. Be happy, marry the one you love and don't wait until the boat leaves.

Now, go give your wife to be a hug and tell her, you love her. Spend some time being as sweet as you were when you met. The results might surprise you. 

The world needs more PILLOW TALK !

Communication is important in a relationship, but finding the right time to communicate can leave both of you feeling drenched in love and bliss.

Pillow talk is just that...lying together with the one you love and you just talk...

There are many things you can be talking about like when you first met and what it felt like. The key is to talk about the happy moments in your life and especially this moment.

Not only will you feel great but your relationship will bloom and get stronger by doing this. This is very true to relationships in Second Life because the clock seems to be turning much faster. Take some time to talk. Just the two of you.

Our secret here is that we dream of a happy life ( we are happy in real life too), and visualize it together. If you have happy conversations while pillow talking, your relationship and your own lives will start to feel more upbeat and exciting.

Add a bit of romance and flirty talk into your pillow talk now and then. Why not start pillow talking tonight?

BELLA BISTRO

"Since 2009, Bella Bistro has been a full-service establishment in Second Life. Inside you'll find low lighting, soft music and a stylish interior adorned with elegant paintings, not to mention a menu that rivals many top SL establishments."

As night falls and thousands of stars brighten the night sky strolling on the streets of Second Norway on our new bikes. The air was so fresh right next to the water.

All this riding around makes you very hungry and thirsty. The perfect place to stop and take a break is the Bella Bistro. You can just walk right in without any reservations and sit either inside or some romantic spots outside.

Get a bottle of wine and sit in the private section of the restaurant and just listen to the jazzy music. You will not regret coming here. It is absolutely beautiful.

We were so relaxed here, it made an immaculate evening even better.

Vincent van Gogh inspired---Oniro - Romantic Land of Dreams

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

~ Vincent Van Gogh

I absolutely loved this place, because you feel you are in one of Vincent van Gogh's paintings. Oniro is a romantic land of dreams for sure.

The vibrant colors are like the oxygen van Gogh breathed in and took his inspirations from.

His art had a sense of erotic explosions of a sexual vitality that he could rarely achieve in life. He had this romantic dream of people coming together, which you see represented in the colors twirling together.

For someone who was so lonely and depressed he painted some beautiful pictures which still to this day belong to some of the greatest art we know.

Go and explore this beautiful place and feel some romantic vibes of art, colors and perhaps love of life.

 

What is Paradise?

I suppose paradise could mean many things and each time it would look different. Some describe it more as a religious term, but I think it is simply the fairy-tale of unspoiled beauty that surrounds us all. We just have to look for it. It is there, right within us.
The idyllic beach at Crossing Currents is one of those places.

Of course when you are in such a luscious place it absolutely helps to be with someone who is very alluring and loving. I was so lucky to be there with my very best friend. He is so much more than that, he is paradise.

To paradise come; chase your blues away!

Pure pleasure resides at my favorite place.

Where sand and sea sparkle and palm trees sway -

To paradise come. Chase your blues away.

Just play and dance the waves. Stay all day -

Warm breezes and sun caressing your face.

To paradise come; chase your blues away.

Pure pleasure resides at my favorite place!

So if you sum it all up, then paradise means love. Whoever we do love, hold them close to your heart because when you are not feeling that heavenly paradise in the real world then think of these moments when you were in paradise.

Always smile when you go to sleep because it is a guarantee that you will wake up smiling in the morning. All great days start with a smile.

~Somewhere on the Blake Sea~

It was only "The Miss Behaven" afloat on the Blake Sea on this very calm night. The waves were almost still but you could hear them soothe you like soft jazz. Romantic and sexy all at the same time as the sun was going down in the west.

The only crew on board was us and we took a break from this windless night as we were sitting dead in the water with nowhere to go and no other vessels in sight. No land either, nothing!

What do you do when you are stranded in the middle of the sea? Of course, I got it....Do laundry. What else could you possibly do on the open sea?

I figure at least this way we have clean clothes when we arrive on shore again. I don't think Greg minded that at all. He was eager to get the clothes into the washing machine and he said: " Make sure you set the cycle for extra long." I guess he figured we would be here for awhile.

And that was perfectly fine with me. Besides we could make our own motion in the ocean if you are getting my drift. 

Ahoy Sailors!!!

The bath ritual of roses !!!

Water is the essential element for life and it also is also used in many rituals.

When I think of bathing it creates such a relaxing feeling in my mind. You have the scent of the bath oils a subtle aroma of roses.

Angels use rose scents as physical signs of their spiritual presence with people, since roses have powerful energy fields that vibrate at a high electrical frequency -- the highest of any flower on Earth!!!

Of course taking a shower together is also a good way to save water and since water is so sacred, why not do this tonight with someone you love.

Make it a ritual whenever you feel like it. It will bring smiles for sure and if all fails you will be clean.

Oh one last note: The Bath ritual may lead into some poetic motions you will not likely forget.

Go ahead and smell the roses!!!

Taking the leap from “just friends”to actually being in a relationship !!!

Scary? Yes, because you have both been in relationships that failed; and you never know what might happen, or if the risk of losing him as a friend is even worth making him your boyfriend. But, for me it was, and always will be.

I have known Greg for a little more than 2 years now and we both have been on the roller coaster of ups and downs when it comes to relationships in second life.

To this point we have never been a couple, we have been "just friends". Not that we ever thought about more, but we have that utmost respect for each other that we never discussed this " more than friends" scenario.

Just forget the risk, take the fall, if it’s meant to be it’s worth it all.

A best friend loves you and will always love you. They tell you when you’re wrong/right/and look goofy. A best friend will fight with you and laugh with you and go through hell and back for you. When your best friend turns out to be your boyfriend, he does all that while worshiping the ground you walk on, adoring every move you make and getting excited about what the future holds not only for you, but for both of you as a couple. He will love you and teach you how to let him love you. He will crave your smile and your touch and praise you for all the little things. He will love you like no other.

I will hope that our true friends will support us in this new adventure and will feel the joy with us. For those who don't, we wish you well and send you hugs and kisses, because we know you need them.
Our first adventure together in this video :

Dance, smile, giggle!

“Dance. Smile. Giggle. Marvel. TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH. BELIEVE. Most of all, enjoy every moment of the journey, and appreciate where you are at this moment instead of always focusing on how far you have to go.” 

It is always so much fun to dance with you, even when we are at home.

Path of life through time !

My dearest Zeekeee,

Time has to be one of the most treasured gifts anyone can give another person. It is very valuable. I am so very grateful to you for spending time with me here in Second Life but yet the same time is spend in Real Life. 

Life is not a path of coincidence, happenstance, and luck, but rather an unexplained, meticulously chartered course for ONE to touch the lives of others and make a difference in their world.

It does not matter much what we do and create here in this world, but the time we spend together laughing and feeling the joy of life. Nothing seems to matter as those hours pass. We forget about our daily troubles that Real Life wants to create. As we have our time we love and connect in such a way that time stand still so it seems.

I cannot imagine time without you now. I just want to say Thank you and I love you :)

Second Afterlife Cemetery

I stumbled upon this cemetery here in Second Life and spend a good hour looking at the graves.

The Second Afterlife Cemetery is a quiet, park-like setting with sounds of nature and soft music, which make it the perfect place to make a memorial for your loved ones from Real Life and Second Life.

Here is one note of the graves...I do this often in Real Life when I visit a grave that just speaks out to me I stand there for a moment.This one seemed to say hello to me.

18th December 2014
RIP Zoey Allstar
My Dear Friends
If you are reading this, then it means that I am no more in Real life or Second Life.
I have left instructions with Nikky & Sarah for what I want to do here in Second Life, and how I want to be remembered.
I never married in real life, but back on 18th August 2009, I married my Love here in Second Life.
Jonn you have been in my heart since the day we meet at the bar. I love all the time we spent together and all the messages and emails we shared.
I still remember the day we married like it was yesterday, and not 6 years ago.
I still love you now, even though I have not seen you for a long time, but your voice is still with me.
My Darling Jonn, be happy in both Second Life and Real Life.
Kiss Poppy for me & go for a walk on the beach with her and watch the sunset and think of me.
Nikky, Vanessa & Rose. I love all 3 of you like we were sisters and I miss you all.
Be happy and remember me laughing!
I've asked Nikky to help Sarah (my sister in law) put together something to remember me here in Second Life when the time comes, as I was so happy here with you, my friends.
Remember me with Laughter 
Remember me with Joy 
Remember me with a Tear in your Eye 
Remember me and be Happy You Knew Me
If I can come back as a ghost, be sure I will haunt SL!

I was deeply saddened visiting this place, but also very grateful to the Second Life we have here. We have built a family of people, who do mean much more than their pixel creations to us.
Be kind to one another, even here in SL we need love and peace.

The Olsouth Wedding

I don't have all the pictures from the Olsouth Wedding on August 28, 2015. This ceremony was taken at the Retreat with reception and DJ.

Congratulations to our dear friends Stacey and Greg Olsouth!!! You did it...you are now forever bond together and we could not be happier. Thank you for letting us be part of this wonderful event in your life. What an honor to let us help you plan this great event.

I must say it turned out everything but perfect. DJ Loren was wonderful...kudos to him :) Officiant Mags was excellent.
Stacey and Greg picked out some great bridesmaids and groomsmen.

I will post some pics soon, they are still with the photographer. I have some of the wonderful reception.

Book your wedding today!!!

Galicia Weddings

Yeah....we did it. The Galicia Weddings website and venue is now open. We had the venue at the Retreat but we now have a much more beautiful place to make your dreams come true.

The venue is set on a gorgeous beach and we offer you the full service with officiant, DJs for your reception, a photographer. We even have the ceremony written down and can offer several versions. All you do is write your own vows.

We also offer several Honeymoon packages to some private places we own at the Blake Sea. You will absolutely love them.

When we decided to get married we found out quickly to have something of quality you will have to spend Linden Dollars. This is what we want to avoid. We guarantee to be the lowest price for what we offer. You will not have to spend thousands and thousands, but what you will get here is worth the few lindens you do spent.

Come and visit the website and come and see us in Second Life. Compare the prices, the beauty with any other venue.
