A new page in my book: A construct of a new me

I took a short break, with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, from the discussion group I had begun late last year inspired by the writing of Elizabeth Gilbert’s book, “Eat, Pray, Love”. I had watched Gilbert on the Oprah show and was struck by observations she presented as she was interviewed. I thought about her question, “What do you really, really, really want?” and the power of putting these thoughts on paper (virtual or otherwise) to start to actualize them. To advance this, I chose to share my thoughts with others in Second Life, and by further extension, through my blog here.

There have been some emotional breakdowns and breakthroughs for some and keen reflections by others. Everyone brings their own experiences and thoughts and the discussions can, at times, become quite lively which is invigorating and satisfying. I always leave with more to think about.

If you are in Second Life, please come by on Fridays at noon (second life time which parallels Pacific time) in the Shaolin Temple Roof Garden. All are welcome. You can also read the discussion notes handed out each week in my blog page here. Feel free to add your comments. I would love to hear what you think.

    VROOOOMMM! TAMA and Tiny TAMA have added Motorcycles and motorcycle parts to their product lines.  We have a brand-spanking-new store to display our wares which I based on the design of the old Sinclair Gas Stations.  The nifty shapes seemed perfect when I kept the garage open and added more window space to the parts side.  [...]

    April is Western month at Raglan!  The tumbleweeds and cactus had been encroaching, but they are firmly ensconced for the month and mercantiles and wagons are cropping up everywhere.  OMG, and the language!  ”Pardner” and “varmint” are being slung around like cow-paddies….everywhere!  The Good, the Bad and the-just-plains-tinies […]

  • jaffas and easter egg hunts, oh my! March 3, 2009
    We premiered the Tiny Horus Jaffa this week at Tiny TAMA.  This is an exquisite set with a sculpted helmet that animates down.  The texturing is quite beautiful on it and the more egyptian style outfit to go with it that is more in keeping with the Stargate film.  The standard version (300L$) has a [...]

  • games, faeries and a tiny night on the town January 16, 2009
    Sometime ago, I asked a good friend of mine, Kenn Nilsson, if he could create a script for me to do some games at Tiny TAMA.  The game was incredibly fun and the tinies had a blast.  Kenn created the script to allow for creativity and variety.  The first time we played the game, we [...]

    Tiny TAMA unveiled the beginning of its Stargate line and celebrated with the Stargate Chase Race that was held today in front of the TT stores in Morningshire. About a dozen tinies entered their Competition-model Needlethreader Death Gliders to test their skills by racing through five succeedingly smaller rings as they went around Morningshire. [...]

  • something wicked this way comes: it’s halloween time! October 11, 2008
    Ghoulishly good fun can be had with this animated sculpted pumpkin! The lid pops open and out sneak the charred bony fingers of a fiendish ghoul, propping the lid to survey the land for victims. Could it be YOU?! This pumpkin animates on rezzing, and loops with a short peek and a [...]
