When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen

Sister, Confidant, Best Friend…A Gift

This is the second part of Strawberry’s Singh’s Blog Challenge this week. Topic: Blog about One of Your Closest Friends in Second Life.

Before I begin…..Sis did you take your meds today?

Bumblebee and I knew each other before coming to Second Life. You may have heard me mention YoVille a time or two in my blog? Bumblebee is one of the reasons I came to Second Life. If not for her prodding, posting of pics on Facebook, and singing the praises of SL I would not be here..of this I am sure.

In the beginning I don’t think either one of us thought we would become as close as we have; but fate has a way of aligning the stars and bringing kindred spirits together. There is hardly a day that goes by that we don’t speak, even if it is just to goose one another 🙂 My SL would not shine as bright if I didn’t have my Bumblebee in it.

Plain and simple…I love this woman.

I love her for her uncanny ability to make me laugh. I can be myself around her and have no fear of being judged. Her loyalty and support never waivers. She listens to my hopes, my dreams and my secrets and loves me anyway.

We have seen each other through rough times; cried together, laughed together, shared joy in the good times, and heartache in the bad. When forces would want to do harm to one, the other is there, ready and willing to defend without question. We know when something is wrong or out of sync for the other. Without being physically there we are there for one another…WE ARE JUST THERE FOR EACH OTHER.

Sis did you take your meds today ?

I could go on but it would be pure babble so I will leave you with a little tidbit of a conversation:

Destinations, Second Life, Second Life Destinations, The Beguiled

Through the Garden Gate

Last week Bumblebee sent me a landmark to The Beguiled, stating that I would be interested in seeing this region. As I was already in the middle of photographing another destination I promised to visit soon. Finishing up my shoot I thought, “why not” and headed over. Bumblebee was right, this is has me written all over it.

I have read two posts related to The Beguiled since I visited. Every photograph is different; and since my photographs are different as well, I am sharing them in my first official post for the SL-Travel 52 Challenge.

Afternoon Tea Under the Bubble Tree

Jilla Lamar has done an outstanding job of landscaping. It reminds one of a Monet painting come to life. Taking some time to wander around the sim after finishing my photo session left me feeling peaceful that such beauty can be found in Second Life.

Unexpected Visitor

As I was setting up for this shot I noticed a little bird kept landing on the chair and then alight on the table. Such an unexpected and sweet touch I had to try to capture the moment.

Serenity

I was moving my camera in all directions when I noticed the gazebo and thought Thomas Kinkade moment.

A Bit of Whimsy

There are whimsical figures scattered throughout the region, and areas with poses already set up for you to use in photographs but Jilla has gone one better. The studio in the background of the above photo houses scenes already setup for your photography needs. Jilla has also provided empty stalls where you can create your own scene, as you are able to rezz your own props and poses. I would suggest you make the studio your first stop as Jilla has set some ground rules. I won’t give anything away but I think you will be pleasantly surprised 🙂

The Little Mermaids

Everywhere you look there is something to delight the eyes. Jilla also has her art gallery setup here. Her art work is amazing and some are very thought-provoking… and for sale. HINT! HINT!

In Jilla’s own written words…Be Creative! Be Inspired! Use your imagination! TWMA 🙂
