DJ Caron is a very popular and versatile DJ, having seen and heard her at the Warehouse Speakeasy… http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/xFire/219/174/1201 when we saw she was doing a set at Foggy Docks owned by DJ Riff Gaffer we dropped over for a visit. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised to see that Riff has added an indoor venue at the Docks. Previously entertainment was held on the open stage, seen above. (picture under the Foggy docks logo. The place has an industrial feel to it, but has art deco decor here and there that make it very inviting ..a comfortable ambience for adults to enjoy their favourite music. Mostly Jazz and “out there” music, if you join the Foggy Docks group, you will be kept informed of who and when.. something to explore in the new year.

Gratitude fills my heart when I see pictures or read something that reminds me of friends/family, past and present who have shared time/memories in my life. As time moves along, and some memories fade … others are born and are alive in our thoughts/prayers.
Make the best use of materials and money. You can do different things as materials and money play their roles. How to make them work is important.
Perfect Liberty 2023.16
Most important, is to take the time to listen to your own thoughts/feelings/needs… charity begins at home. How often do you put your own “needs” aside .. because.. sometimes that is not a good enough reason… If you can’t determine or know what makes you happy .. how can you possibly expect someone else to.

Holiday wishes, magical scenery, toy trains that can be ridden, candy canes and white sparkling snow everywhere. In a virtual world there is no limit to the visual wonders that are presented to us to explore and delight in. The artist has no boundaries.. the weather conditions don’t deter his/her creativity. As a member of the virtual community I and millions of other creative souls get to wander and enjoy all the magic of someone else’s imagination and creative talents. A reminder to one and all…. there is always another human behind the avatar. Be kind, share a smile… especially to new comers who likely are completely baffled by the “world” they are experiencing.
Put your heart into your words. do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.
