There have been days where I shuddered to lift my head from the pillows. When I truly wondered why I even bothered. Showered, coffee made, dogs out and fed…email sifted, overnight issues on Fusion Sims and RI handled..It struck me as being odd, as when I logged into SL today – I was met with a LM to a new sim opening. Normally, I immediately toss the blind landmarks away, it’s a pet peeve of mine. But for some reason I thought ..”what the hell”
In and out of shops, the lag bothersome, the fuzzy textures waiting to load. I was in IM’s as well as looking for the java IV so I could at least find some normallcy in my morning. I was just getting ready to head back home, and I peeked into the last shop.. slowly things came to rez in. Hmm..Rose Petal Creations – with Milady Rose Farina as the creator. Looking along and seeing a set of fancy winged items.. I was drawn to “Awakening” a winged fit of delicate ivory and it just looked … “angelic”
Of course I snagged it.. and raced home! See more after the cut 
Wings.. usually NOT my style.. but something about this.. the whole outfit was just something I knew I would like.. I added Paper Couture’s Birds and Wildflowers powdered wig, and Pink Tourmaline Chandelier earrings.. shoes?! Umm.. not today – this outfit was complete…
Usually I am all about proper shooting in the studio, not today, today.. I was in my garden..filled with delicate blossoms and trees.. waterfalls.. and my gorgeous pond with swans.. Reacher created this place for me – for me to create and just relax..what better place to do so.
These photos are not about the perfection, as I know they are not,
rather they are about the renewal, the awakening.. New Dawn..
in which we can each find, should we take the time to look.
It’s July 4th, 2009 – no, I am not in red, white and blue – rather you find me here, in my garden, free to do that -
thanks to the many Servicemen and women, who’ve made this possible.

Your posts always rocks my socks woman! <3 the creativity!
That’s great Jori. I love it.
Fabulous. Fantastic. Fanciful. Feminine. Flighty?
… ok, the Flighty is a stretch on the alliteration, but you are wearing wings.
This post borders on the sublime, with your narrative beginning with the bogged down grind of everyday and then lifting us into a delicately wonderful and reverent place.
… and the whole look, the photos, everything completely take us there too.
Loved it. Read it five times. Going back for another.
<3
