Bask in the Sun




With all of this cold weather and snow, I was ready for a little pixel vacation for some warmth and sunshine. One of the best places to go to for some exotic sunshine is the Majili al Jinn. This amazing build has secret tunnels, enclosed beaches, trails to explore and last but not least, a stunning palace styled in the Arabian/Moroccan style, which is open to all visitors. This is a beautiful and captivating place that I find myself returning to again and again whenever in need of a little peace or a desire to bask in the sun.

A Moment of Reflection

Imagine if you will, a cabin in the woods, a little off the beaten path but still easily accessible if you know it's there. A place where, every year, family, friends and everyone in-between gathers for that one moment of the year to reconnect & catch up on everything that has been happening in each others lives. A day filled with warmth, good food, cheesy board games, and the stomping of little feet mixed in with cheery little giggles. In the midst of all the hilarity, you step outside for a moment to breathe in the cool fresh air, turn around to lean against the fence and observe the inhabitants of the cabin; laughing, interacting and seeing the simple happiness that comes from everyone being together.



In my perfect world, something like this scenario would happen every year. No one would be too busy or have prior commitments; no last minute cancellations or poor travel conditions. Everybody would be showing up and happy to be there. However, like most people, this is not the norm and sometimes it leaves you to wonder what makes you have to hustle more; the shopping or making it to the gift exchange. Yet, after all the rushing from here to there and all the planning, somehow things fall into place and those beautiful moments come together in some shape or form. Whatever form your moments take or however they come about, embrace them, let them sink in and nourish your spirit and remind you that there are people in the world who are better off because of you and the part you play in it. That extra five minutes you took to hold a door for someone, that may have seemed like nothing to you, could be what makes the other person's entire day because for whatever reason, they were really needing some kindness right then. The toll or the breakfast order that you offer to pay for the car behind you could lead that person to do the same, and then next and so on, until that one single act of selflessness has been multiplied and left countless people profoundly blessed; all because you took the time to embrace a moment. So grab hold of them, make them count, and never forget that you have an immeasurable ability to impact the world in all ways large and small.

A Winter's Day

One of the things I like about this time of year are the deep rich colors and after several days of wearing my fair share, I thought something soft & cozy might be just be the thing. With a this great oversized sweater recently released by ILLI added to N-Core's versatile pair of skates and a set of decorated antlers just for fun, I was ready to hit the ice. My favorite place to go around this time of year is the Winter Holiday Village at Christmas Time. It's the 8th year running for this village, and is made available to the public purely upon the generosity of Mairead Fitzgerald, better known as Ms. Santa Claus, who is the proprietor of Prim & Pixel Paradise. The village is picturesque and family friendly, with numerous activities available for visitors such as ice skating (both couples & singles), skiing, a carriage ride and last but not least, a special location where the Big Man himself is waiting to hear your latest Christmas wish.
