FOR YOUR ACCOUNT SAFETY,
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE.

You ever see those "Send this message to 10 people and press Alt+Ctrl to get 8,000,000 credits!" or something similar?

Well believe it or not, those chain letters are fake beyond belief. They don't work! If they did, IMVU would be out of business by now and no one would be here. So please don't pass them on, it's pointless and just dirties up web pages. Trust me.

So feel free to leave me a message below, but please not about how I can earn millions of credits. It's against the Terms of Service if you post those messages, and if someone reports you - you will get banned from IMVU. I don't want to see any more people get banned from lack of knowledge.

Oh, and here are a couple-a links to my favourite developers: ;)

I'm confused. After the back and forth of messages with a few ladies on here and, of course, the things I hear in "real life", I find myself asking a question...

I have often wondered what girls see when they look in the mirror. I mean; do they see the same, beautiful person that I see? Are they just being modest? Or do they really see themselves as less than beautiful? It keeps bringing me back to the sci-fi wish I have had for years: If only we humans could do the Vulcan Mind-meld (from Star Trek) and really know what/how someone thinks! Then, I believe, we could truly understand each other and become as close, actually I guess even closer, than humanly possible.

I'd like more of you lovely people to take the time to ask yourselves these questions: Am I beautiful? Why do I think I'm not? Do I have to be "perfect" to be lovely and beautiful?

Do yourself a favour and ponder that for a while....

My favourite quote, for the moment:

OK I've gotta have three, here's my fav:

"The world is so fast that there are days when the person who says it can't be done is interrupted by the person doing it." Unknown

and secondly...

"The simple step of writing down your ideal scene can lead you to discover the unfailing natural laws of manifestation."

and then the all-time favourite time and comfort-zone management skill:

MEDICAL alert - CONTAGIOUS VIRUS

The Center for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically.

This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises. Take two good friends to the nearest grocery store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

Okay here's another of my favourite quotes:

The Lesson of the Morning Glory!

I planted seeds in my little garden this year.

I have never planted seeds before, because I am not a very patient person, and waiting for the little green shoots to rise above the ground, was just too much for me. But this year, I thought I would give it a try. I thought it would be a good metaphor for me, to plant something and watch it grow, much as I have many times, planted thoughts, dreams and affirmations and watched many of them become a reality.

And so, in the Spring of this year, I planted my garden. I chose many types of flowers and among them, Morning Glories. Within a month, many of the other flowers were bursting through the earth, but not the Morning Glories.

Each morning, I would run outside to check on them, and nothing, nothing for several weeks more. I was about to give up on them. I was sure that they just did not 'take' so to speak. But finally, it happened! They had broken through the earth, and were starting to climb. And climb, and climb, and climb, they did....with their big, beautiful, heart shaped leaves.

And so, the saga continued, nothing for weeks and weeks and weeks but more and more beautiful leaves. And I thought to myself, "Well, leaves are nice, but that is all I will probably get at this point." And then, one fine and glorious morning, there it was, the most beautiful sky-blue morning glory I have ever seen!!! It seemed like a miracle to me. I had waited over 3 months for this one delicate, funnel-shaped flower to show up and now here it was, in all its splendor.

It reminded me of just how many times I had waited in life for something I had longed for, and how incredible it felt when it finally arrived, and also, how many times, that I had wanted to throw in the towel, and just give up.

But I wasn't prepared for what was to happen next, with these little flowers, and I was surprised and deeply saddened by it.

Roses and geraniums and daisies and most other flowers bloom and stay around for a while, but not Morning Glories. Morning Glories open themselves up to the world, in the morning, in all of their glory, hence the name, Morning Glory.

And if you look closely at them, you will see how extraordinary they are, both in colour and texture, and that in their centre, is a kind of golden light that shines from within.

But here is the hard part... At the end of the day, they turn a most beautiful shade of lavender, and then close up, wither and die. They live for only one day, and then they are gone. I cannot tell you how much this saddened me, and what a profound effect this little flower had upon my life. I kept thinking how sad to be so beautiful and live for only one day. And then, I suddenly realized what a gift they were.

You see, it doesn't matter how long your life is. It only matters that you were here, in all your glory, that you opened up completely, and let your light shine, and that you brought joy to those who came into contact with you. That's what matters to the morning glory, and that's what really matters to all of us.

The morning glories make me appreciate every new day now, in a way I didn't before. Each evening, I go and visit with them, knowing those particular ones won't be here tomorrow, new ones will take their place. If we knew when we woke up in the morning, that we only had that one day to really live, life would be very different indeed for many of us.

Now, each morning, I give thanks that I have been given the gift of another day, in all its glory. We can learn from all of life, if we remain open to the beauty that is all around us. And nature can be one of our greatest teachers.

What a profound lesson from such a simple flower.

Thank you, my sweet little morning glories!
