As said in another blog post, all sl friends are away, but she can surround herself with her animal friends. Animals friends (i mean in rl now) don't disappoint. you. They are super companions, always there and always happy to see you.

Nic is at the beach late at night at the new outdoor bar from The Jewel Garden. Available in the gacha at SENSE. Also at the SENSE event are the palms and wild grasses from the Little Branch.
I placed succulents from ~ASW~ available at SENSE  near and at the bar.

Yesterday i listened to a talk of Steven Grant in sl at the Bhoddicitta Zendo at the sim Hikaru. The topic was feeling incomplete. It was an interesting speech, like the other speeches that i heard from him.
What does it feel like when I believe I lack something? How does my body feel when I need someone or something to complete me? Our mind influences our feelings and the needs of our body too.
We can influence our feelings with our mind.

And it's obvious that Nic is influenced by a very positive mind today. She is grateful for the blessings in her life. Enjoying the good friends she has in sl and the pleasure and love she gets. Enjoying the special contacts she can have here with people from all over the world. It's such an amazing fantasy-and real world in sl. Real because all in sl is influenced by real persons.

Nic is standing on the balcony of a Mediterranean home from the gacha, named Sunny Lombardia,  from Elfico Penso (177 LI). You know may be the beautiflul Mediterranean manor and mansion from the gacha of 8f8. But this is also beautiful but different. This is a large sort of house and the walls inside are different. I placed two houses near each other at picture 3 so you can see more sides of the house. I placed the loggia at the balcony. The gacha has also a RARE Wine Cellar with curved ceiling and all sorts of wines for on the wall in the cellar. You can try the gacha at SENSE. On the picture you can also see the table and chairs, the grape plate, porcelain service, urn with flowers hanging and standing.
The barrels with cats from .:Tm:. Creation are  available at SENSE. The whole set is behind Nic on the balcony. You can unlink the set. Near Nic i placed a part of the set. The set has many animations.
The dog is from TLC, a companion dog available at the Cosmopolitans Sales Room. You can click the dog for more fur options. See behind Nic for example one with another color. The doves from TLC are at Flourish in the package of the wall fountain.( 99ld!)
On the table a bread basket from nutmeg., available at Belle. The Margarita pitcher from Dahlia is available at Uber.

Nic is wearing the skin Sasia from 7 Deadly s[K]ins available at SENSE. Her outfit from *SK* is also available at SENSE. Available in many colors.
The hair is a gift at the Hair Fair from Exile, a fat pack.

make your own kind of music

Make your own kind of music. Yes.. important. It's important to make your own choices in life. Hopefully you make good choices. About some things i am totally sure, but about some i am in doubt sometimes.
About this i am sure:
I want to be the eyes that look deeper in your soul.
I want to be in your deepest wishes.

Now about the music. I like many music styles and so it is also with things in my life. I like many different things in life.
On the pictures you can see the reflection of my love for music. Inspired by the new release from Madras. The drum corner table, the music marquee sign and the music trophy are a new release at Feverfete. An event inspired by various musical genres and festivals like Glastonbury and Coachella, a shopping and live music experience!
On the walls i used some items from an old gacha from Madras ( Mesh India).
The violins with flowers of unKindness were available as Fly Buy sale item. Now normal price in the main shop.

The black neon chair on the first two pictures is made by Lush Poses, available at Oxxxcuro. Available in black, pink, green, blue and yellow. Each chair sold separately. The chair has 20 poses. Those poses are very good. You can drag the poses to your inventory and use them for other occasions too.

The couch and chairs of *DAWN* at Boardwalk, i showed also in the blog post before this one. Now you can have a closer look. At the Boardwalk Event you also can find the home, that i used. See below the vendor picture. The Birdy set of *PC* with chest, bird frame, a bowl and jars are also at Boardwalk.

The dress, a new release of *SK*, is available in the main shop in several colors. The hair i found back, while cleaning my inventory. It's D!va Hair. Not available this one, but in the shop are hairs like this.
