You're the One that I Want

I've got chills
         They're multiplying
               And I'm losing Control
                   Cause the power you're supplying  
                                                                  .........It's electrifying!
                                                            
                                                                                                    ~ John Farrar

        In my house, when the words "Grease is on!!" get called out, you can count on the instant pitter patter of running feet from various parts of the house to all head towards the living room and for that brief two hours, we're all together; munching popcorn, cuddled up and singing along. It is definitely  one of my favorite movies of all time and it does not embarrass me the least little bit to admit that I know almost all of the songs by heart lol. So, when I saw that Tres Chic was going to feature a 50's theme that had many elements from the movie, I was ecstatic! I was so excited to shop around, grab some great buys and even get my very own SL version of that beautiful car in the final scene so that I can ride off into the sunset with my own personal "tall, gorgeous and Italian".

     So, here is to a great week everybody; and may you each have beautiful moments with the one that you want.

Angel of Music

Angel of music
        speak..........I listen
              stay by my side; guide me
                                               
                                              ~ Andrew Lloyd Webber

          For me, there are few things on the world that are as universally powerful as music. It can over come language barriers, negative thoughts or emotions, and sometimes can even touch the hardest hearts when nothing else could. It has the ability to transport a person to another time and place within a single moment simply from the sound of just a few notes. How many times do we use a song or a piece of lyric to convey the deepest yearnings of our hearts when our own words fail us? There is something magical about it; when you hear the strains of a melody teasing your ear and you turn to catch it. In that next moment, you can only close your eyes and let it envelope you, enchanting and transforming you as only that song can. For a brief instant, the world is a pure and beautiful place where anything is possible, and even after the last bit of harmony has faded away, you are renewed; carrying the echo of that feeling into the silence that remains. I can't imagine anything on Earth more heavenly.

         As we begin a new week, my hope is that each of you will find yourselves touched by an Angel of Music and that you find a piece of heaven on Earth amongst the routines of your everyday.

Hustle

      We have all had our days or moments where we have so many things going on in so many ways that we are scrambling to keep up. This past weekend and early week has been just that. Between location scouting and house hunting in SL as well as my personal calendar and professional deadlines in RL, it seems as if some days I'm lucky to remember my own name lol. Yet, to be honest, those moments that make me want to tear my hair out seem to also be the moments when I thrive the most. There is something about The Challenge; how it stares you in the face and it is either going to be you getting your rear end handed to you for not keeping up or you are just going to totally own it. Few things feel as great as when you get to the other end of something that really made you work for it.

     That's not to say however, that we can't take a minute or two to grab a bite or a hearty dose of caffeine to keep going and Y's HOUSE Cafe is a great place to do just that. With colorful ambiance, a wide selection of yum-yums and a spacious lounge area for those who have the time to sit and relax or visit. The café is near the waterfront as well, making for a beautiful view and even a spot for a little fishing. I've got my coffee and my donut so let's all have a great week everybody; it's time to get our hustle on!

Dolce Vita

       You can definitely tell we're getting close to Valentine's Day with so many items on display with hearts and words like "love" and "kiss me" seemingly everywhere you look. I know that for many, Paris is the city of love; but for me, I associate love and romance with Italy. The culture, the architecture and last, but definitely not least, the lyrical sounds of the beautiful language that is spoken there. As I was exploring, I came upon a place called Santa Maria dell'isola Italy. This beautiful location has secluded beaches, picturesque views, a charming courtyard serving some nice cold gelato as well as many other discoveries for a the curious visitor. You can tell that a lot of thought and care has gone into making the island something peaceful and unique, while still channeling the feel and influences of Italian culture. I highly recommend a stop here for anyone who wants to relax, unwind and enjoy a little bit of the sweet life.
