It feels SO good to be back and I am SOOOO glad I am out of the hospital, but this week has made me realize that I am far from 100%  There are SOOOO many things that I would love to blog right now, but it seems like I just cannot get things moving as quickly as I would like.  I started these pics a couple of weeks ago and am just now getting them posted.  I had THREE looks put together and ready to shoot and just did NOT feel well enough to take a picture. . . . :/  So now I am left wondering if I should just scrap these three looks and move on with new things?  SOOO many posts    . . .so little time.

My time spent on the grid was not totally worthless however.  I was “gently” reminded by one of the creators that I used to blog for, that I need to blog for fun.  I used to take blogging really seriously. . .and I still fight the urge.  When I started blogging in earnest, I stopped wearing things (for the most part) from stores that were no longer up and running, simply because I felt that there were so many creators that were struggling to make a living in SL for me to be able to wear something from them. . .advertising THEIR creations because they “needed” me.  I remember contacting an, at the time “new” creator to ask her if she would like for me to blog for her.  I LOVED her stuff, she was EXTREMELY talented and I WANTED to help her get her shop up and running and I thought she “needed” me to help her.  I WANTED to blog to help creators.  A LOT of their creations I bought, some were given to me as review copies and some I (gasps) yes. . .asked for.

But one thing I have learned and have had stressed to me over and over. . .I am NOT needed.  In fact, in many cases I am not even really wanted and I have had some creators TOLERATE me, at best.  So I have had to learn to respond to those creators that really DO want me to blog. . .and guess what . . .BLOG THEIR STUFF!   And enjoy myself while I do it!

So I am going to start that by modeling this beautiful evening “lounge wear” from PurpleMoon.  PurpleMoon has ALWAYS impressed me and I have seen BEAUTIFUL creations come out WEEKLY, whether it be hair, accessories, boho, evening wear or nails.  I can always find something beautiful to buy from PurpleMoon.  Their group gifts are amazing and you can always find items on sale, allowing you to build up a really NICE inventory of beautiful clothes!

This LOVELY skin is from Izzie Button.  It is one of her relatively newer skins (I think there have been 3-4put out since this one).  But it is REALLY lovely, comes in bunches of skin tones and I am working on a new post to really showcase it.  Thank you, Izzie for your kindness and patience. . .

I am truly grateful for the TONS of friends and SL creators that ARE wonderful and gracious, kind and patient.  Thank you so much for treating me like a real person, even when you’ve had a bad day!  Hugs and kisses to you.  I am looking forward to working with all of you. . . .until later. . .
