Snowflake Experience

The Snowflake Experience (TSE) has started and it's a wonderful event that is helping raise money for Toys For Tots. Toys for Tots' mission is "to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens."

The goal for TSE is to raise 5,000 USD towards Toys For Tots. All funds collected directly benefit children in need this Christmas. TSE is an event in which we collaborate with 62 unique vendors to raise money to reach this goal. Each vendor donates a portion or the full amount of their profits to Toys For Tots.

Make sure you check this out and help out an important cause. Also, make sure to stop back on the 10th for the start of the Gatcha festival.

"Leave it to Ema"

I felt like transforming myself from 2010 to like 1953. I was waiting for someone to say, "Honey, I'm Home." or "Ema, you got some 'splainin' to do!" In fact that happened while I was taking this picture.

Thanks to TOSL's Time Warp theme this weekend, I could transform into a different era.

Changes all around

This is a blend of a post...that was your warning :)

If you peek out of the windows of my new house in second life and look around, you can tell that the leaves on the trees are changing from the beautiful summer green into a mix of reds, oranges and yellows much like that in real life. Changes....changes.



Change seems to be all around me in second life. It's been awhile since I've had such a complete change though. No I won't go into details, I just know some of it was needed, some of it is good, some of it I wanted, some of it I didn't. (Really vague for a good reason...maybe someday I will be brave and write it out.)

Change. It can be viewed as scary, most people go through it kicking and screaming if they didn't initiate it. I did initiate a lot of this change though but not all because I wanted to, it was more a need. I know this is going to take time, but if you know me in world, I'm impatient a lot of the time. I'm breathing slowly, laughing a lot with friends and sometimes forgetting to blog.

So onto the newness....

There would be a new house now on my land....Abode is have a 50% sale right now so I picked up the Rico-City Chic Home. The sale runs through Nov 6 and is only happening here . The house is wonderful complete with two bedrooms upstairs, one that I made into a greedy room. I also felt brave and knocked down a few walls to give the lower level a more airy feel.

With the new house, there had to be furniture, of course I dug into my inventory, had the living room all set up and then, I was sidetracked by an incoming notice from What.Next. So of course, I had to TP quickly to the store . The new Laurel Living Room set comes with 19 different pieces in very rich and warm fall colors. What.Next was a little store I found last summer when I was digging around for decorations from my house, now I swear I own everything. Make sure to check this store out...it is one of my favorites.

So here is a little peek of the newness in my sl life. If you want to know what something specifically is or where it came from, feel free to IM me in world and I will share the info.

Wear Purple Day

Wearing Purple today can signify two different causes...honoring LGBT youngsters "who have committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes and schools" or Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Both are two very important causes in my real life.

My younger brother is gay and in witnessing the discrimination that he faces daily, I personally support the awareness and this cause. By wearing purple today, it is just a stand to end the bully and discrimination against LGBT.

October is also Domestic Violence Awareness. Domestic Violence can happen to anyone, male or female, regardless of who you are. I found myself in two domestically abusive relationships, both of which I was able to leave. I usually don't share this so openly but in the spirit of raising awareness, I have decided it is important.

Today, I proudly wear purple in both RL and SL.
