SL Disneybound Blogger Challenge – Week 6 - Merida

What is the secret of finding the Treasure? There isn't one. The Treasure is everywhere. It is offered to us at every moment and wherever we find ourselves. All creatures, friends or enemies, pour it out abundantly, and it courses through every fiber of our body and soul until it reaches the very core of our being. If we open our mouths they will be filled. God's activity runs through the entire universe. It wells up around and penetrates every created being. Wherever they are, it is there also. It runs ahead of them, it stays with them, and it follows after them. All they have to do is to allow its waves to sweep them forward, fulfill the simple duties of their religion and status in life, accept cheerfully all the difficulties they meet, and surrender to the will of God in all they have to do…. This is authentic spirituality, and it is valid for all times and for everyone. We could not choose to become good in a better, more miraculous, and yet easier way than by the simple use of the means offered us by God; the whole-hearted acceptance of everything that comes to us at every moment of our lives. -Jean Pierre de Causade, French Priest Photo taken at T-Town owned by Pixel Mode Pose & Props are Huntress set 1, pose 2 by Hopscotch Hair: TRUTH HAIR Kasia -  gingers (Carrot) Mesh Head: Snow Rabbit Hybrid Avatar_Nea_Natural White Skin: Glam Affair - Margot - America 02 - Red Dress: LUAS CINNIA GREEN Boots: lassitude & ennui Miss Highlands Brown Quiver: FLECHA sculpted elven quiver

 Hello Stranger!

  Sorry I havent written in a bit, I have been BUILDING! It feels great to be making things again and learning something new. My daughter, Carter (In her attempt to nudge me back to work I think)  got this amazing little in-world gadget for me called a mesh studio. It works similar to a prim oven... you build what you want out of prims, add their script and voila! you are handed a mesh file outside of sl to import into blender or whatever you choose to work with. Its been great fun learning and I have found I can make a lot of things this way. It has done a lot for my overall mood and general happiness level. 

   I never thought of myself much of an optimist, I am by nature a realist... meaning I see things in the absolute logical way which isnt always healthy, dreaming is a good thing too. I am really trying to break out of that train of thought and trying to see things in a more positive light. I must admit for all the good I feel creating the little things I have, I am overwhelmingly paranoid that something is going to happen again and for me to stay on my guard. But, I am a creative person and trying to hold back that part of myself is like asking a bird not to fly... just not going to happen.

   So anyway I hope you all have an amazing week, I am going to do my best to do so. 

 

XOXO,

Brie 

Assumptions

Well hey there how have you been?
   I have a bit of a headache this evening, a rough day has been had. Well not all of it, some of it was downright enjoyable. But the parts that weren't.... boy howdy did they suck. My grandma used to tell me the worst thing you can do is assume. If you just take the time to ask for clarification it would probably give us world peace or something amazing like that.
  But she is right, assuming causes way more problems than it ever solves. I mean we are all guilty of it, if something SOUNDS LIKE it should a certain way, chances are we are going to assume it is, even if it is the polar opposite. And chances are when you assume too much you can be hurt, hurt others and in the end cause a whole hell of a lot of dramatics that just could have been avoided if you asked for someone to clarify.
  I made a huge mistake recently. I was told something and I went to what I thought was the source to get the other side of the story. Because, well there are always 2 sides and I like to know before I give my trust to someone whether they are worthy of that gift or not. In doing so, this person assumed things, assumed people were involved that weren't and proceeded to make a giant Everest out of my curiosity. Should I have kept my mouth shut? Yep I sure should have and I will remember this next time I want to be overly curious about something and go poking in proverbial bushes.
  My curiosity and naturally assuming that people lie all the time led me to this lapse in common sense and in it I hurt some people I don't really know that well but still I feel incredibly guilty for it. I am almost 38 years old and well I try to live my life by the golden rule and be good to people. I am by no means better or innocent, I make mistakes... thing is when I do I can put my big girl panties on and own it and take responsibility.
  I like making these posts good or bad because I sincerely hope people read them and it helps them in their own lives. I continue to use my life, experiences and yes, huge fuckups as topics here because good or bad this is my life, Second Life is a part of it and I am this person whether I am logged on or not. I feel incredibly honored you take the time to read my nonsense and even more when I am not judged for making a mistake.

I hope your week is amazing, I have things I am expecting so I think mine is going to be pretty good as well.

XOXO,
Brie
