I wish to dedicate this board to someone who is my universe and means everything to me. You have been my ultimate inspiration and gift of love in my life. Without you the following creativity and re-invention of my board as well as the art I design and create with such light and passion now, may not have transpired. For it's the energy and the magic that streams between us, that flows through to all I do. I want to thank you, my love, (and also to the three beautiful warm and loving mysterious spirits that hover near me and visit me in my dreams). You, my dear, have touched me on levels that go beyond mere words, you have given me the motivation, the inspiration and newfound appreciation of True Love. You have made me smile, laugh out loud, even laugh at myself, sharing in our humour and our interests, passions, personal philosophy/opinions and thinking as we do so innately, opened up my very soul like never before, inspired me to explore and allow myself to be true as I am. You've helped me to even express a part of myself that I had never felt I could express before. You've showed me who you are, and I have found you to be the most amazing person I ever knew. You own my heart and everything along with it. Thank you for loving me. ******************************************************************** To my friends and staff, I thank you for joining me in this journey of discussion and shared common interests that bring us together and touch eachother's lives and day. You are all wonderful people. With affection and love Siress Sarika

That is so beautiful, Siress! That is one lucky guy you have there! I feel so happy for you and for your significant other. May you both live in happiness henceforth.
And I must say that I feel a little guilty for not getting the skins finished (other than the one so far) and getting behind, October has been and will be a very busy month for me. I think November will be a slow enough month to get some more work done.
You know that old saying about several days hitting at once? Well it's like with all my activities and classes (dance and martial arts) and not to mention the Halloween parties I'm expected to attend and all, it's just that by the time I get here, it's the dead of night and I turn in before the bridge crew has to carry me back to my quarters LOL!

Nacky, don't feel guilty. We all have RL to attend to, and this board is for fun and light and laughter for us all. I know you work on the skins when you have ample time to. I appreciate your help and creations more than I can say! No pressure hun. It'll all come together. Yes, he's a truly incredible person, but the luck is mine to know him at all. Thanks. Hey, your activities sound fun! Enjoy them!

Aw shucks, thanks EV, Siress! Yeah I've been trying to get things done. I can't seem to be in two places at once! There must be some way har har har!
But really that is a beautiful dedication and it's wonderful that this site is a harbor where love and friendship reigns. You're both very lucky! It's an honor to be a part of this project, and this fun little corner of space!
Oh and I noticed the gifs! Very lovely!

It's just my way of saying what I feel, hon. Now...if we could just beam one half of you and the other half of you in your desired places...then maybe you could be in two places at once..lol I thought I would add some images to make it pretty... Thank you Siress Nacky!

Thank you Athene. We all have beauty within us, and it's just the personal choice to either express it and allow it to guide our lives or not. We all have bad days, and experiences, but if we just allow the gift within to get us through those times and not soil who we are, then that can only strengthen our inner beauty. N'est ce pas?

I've kept my inner strength through many trials and have my life and loved ones for it, the spirit does guide if one lets it. You're right on the money with that, Siress! I know I would be a nervous wreck if it weren't for the many, many blessings in my life. There are bad experiences and bad days and there are dark forces out there, I've seen it for myself. Like people who are taken from this life way too early and I feel for those people's loses. But we are Earth bound and have to make the journey somehow. Despite tragic news, despite having an evil force that hunts and seems to never have an end. Gotta keep strong and stand up against those winds.
I love going to Florida. It heals so much stress that I encounter almost on a daily basis. I'm sure all the members here can totally relate. The beaches and all the great shopping LOL! So when I find myself being brought into a stressful mood by those evil forces and beings as such, what I do is keep those little things present on my mind...like the The Crab Trap where they serve some of the best Mahi Mahi, the little shops there. On Okaloosa Island right outside Destin. Just little things like that. Nothing out of the ordinary. I put myself right in that frame of referrence where there are only good things. The Caribbean music also re-energizes me. You guys ever do that? Just reflect on places and events that you might do every other month or so (in my case, going to Florida) and just let that be a kind of center of good vibes? I find it's so relaxing.

That is exactly the perfect way to a very healthy sense of Joi de Vivre, Nacky! KUDOS!
I practice my joi de vivre in small ways every day. Like a perfect brewed cup of tea, in a fine china tea cup. Actually, I wrote some blogs about just that sort of topic. I think I will post them up here somewhere for all to read and take what they can from my personal philosophies. I'm sure everyone can relate. Thank you for sharing those lovely thoughts with us, hon.

I too keep my inner strength by being close to my family and friends and my pets too of course. I had very good advice from my Father "if someone doesn't like you for you and what you are, that's their problem'' and from my Mother "believe in yourself and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. I've put things in the past behind me and moved towards the future. You know what they say..."what doesn't kill you, does make you stronger" I've had heartache and loss and have found the courage in myself to overcome that and live life to the fullest. Nacky, that's great you found a really nice place to relax. I want to go somewhere where it's warm too... we've got lots of snow here and cold weather. I also find it very relaxing being amongst my friends here. God Bless all of you.

Some people like winter, some people hate it. I'm one of those who don't like winter but I live in a kind of in-between where the winters are generally mild. The summers are nice and hot, the way I like it. I'm a sun child so I can't understand why I don't live further South, like the Caribbean! LOL! But being Nordic, of course I'm naturally fair skinned. I tan well though. I turn red then it gradually goes into a nice tan after the exposure to the sun after a long winter. My mom is like that too, she always offers words of support and love. Mothers are gifts to be sure! My little baby (four legged human with fur) I spoil mine with constant attention, cuddles and kisses. So I know exactly what you mean by having all these in one's life. It enriches lives and makes them better. But my baby is very used to having the best. Whatever he wants...he GETS! LOL! Is yours like that? But yeah my mom says; Those who matter, don't mind. Those who mind, don't matter. My grandma used to say something similiar, but it's a bit more brawdy. Something about eff'em if they can't take a joke. I think she referred that alot to my mom's early days as a promotor when she'd do things her own way. I guess I gotta think up a saying now just to keep the tradition alive.
