"You know a kind word never goes unheard...but too often goes unsaid." It is interesting how much wisdom we can learn from, just by truly hearing the words to songs like this classic 1980's country hit from The Oak Ridge Boys...so everyone please remember to take a kind word into the street, and share it with everybody you meet....Everyday! :D

You know a smile never goes out of style
So brighten up the one that you wear.
Let it shine and you just might find
You’ll lighten up the load that you bear.

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world

It seems like the least we can do,
Just take that smile into the street
And share it with everybody you meet.

Everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

You know a kind work never goes unheard
But too often goes unsaid.
And on the tongue of the old and the young
It’s swallowed up with pride instead.

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world
It seems like the least we can do
Just take a kind word into the street
And share it with everybody you meet.

Everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand, yer
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

If they’re lost I want to show them the sunshine
If they look tossed I want to throw them a lifeline.
I want the reach out my hand, (reach out) yer (a hand to hold)
Oh yeah, and let ’em know (let ’em know)
There’s a light (that there’s light) down at the end of the road.

If they’re lost I want to (show them the sunshine)
If they’re tossed I want to (throw them a lifeline).

Well everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand, mmm
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
Everyday (everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and my sisters
That I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday.

Everyday, everyday (everyday) I want to shake somebody’s hand, yer
Everyday (everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (yes they can)
And everyday (everyday) [fading]

As I stepped into the forest, the air thick with twilight, a soft glow began to emerge between the trees. Wisps of ethereal light danced gracefully, slowly moving like wispy tendrils of smoke, each one illuminated in vibrant hues of azure, emerald, and soft lavender. They floated just above the ground, weaving through the underbrush with an otherworldly elegance.

The colors shifted and flowed, casting a gentle luminescence that made the leaves shimmer as if dusted with starlight. I felt an overwhelming beauty wash over me, a breathtaking spectacle that tugged at the edges of my soul. Yet, with every captivating flicker, an unsettling chill crept up my spine.

Phantom Rose friends... The grid is going to be down until Feb. I am traveling on a "once in a life time" trip with my husband. I am beyond excited. Since I host my own server, I have to shut down. Being out of the country for that long, there is no way for me to keep Phantom Rose safe and healthy. When I travel in the US, I am able to use my remote link to do many things, but for safety, I have decided to shut down the grid for the duration of my travels. I assure you, Phantom Rose WILL be back! Hopefully, better than ever. I have been running 24/7 since 2019 and I am looking forward to another 5 years in the Opensim Metaverse! Thank you all for your support and I will see you in February 2025!

Roz Carr, born Rosamond Halsey Carr, was an American humanitarian and author who became widely known for her work in Rwanda. Born in 1912, she spent much of her early life as a fashion illustrator and model in New York before marrying British explorer Kenneth Carr.

In 1949, Roz Carr moved to Rwanda with her husband, where they managed a pyrethrum (a type of chrysanthemum used in insecticide) plantation. After her marriage ended, she remained in Rwanda, which became her home for the rest of her life. During the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, she witnessed the horrors of the conflict firsthand. Following the genocide, Roz Carr dedicated herself to helping orphaned children, founding the Imbabazi Orphanage on her plantation to provide care and education to children who had lost their families.

Carr authored a memoir titled Land of a Thousand Hills: My Life in Rwanda, which recounts her experiences in the country, from the time she arrived in the 1940s to the years following the genocide. Her work earned her recognition as a significant humanitarian figure, and she continued to live in Rwanda until her death in 2006 at the age of 94.

Roz Carr's legacy lives on through the orphanage and the lives of the 400 children she helped.

Fred and Deb created Virunga with Roz Carr's plantation featured here, that you can visit and leave flowers and notes in a little mailbox at the house. Outworldz Virunga 701, 194, 24 - www.outworldz.com:9000:Outworldz Virunga Thank you for all the magic you share with us Deb and Fred 💗🌷💗https://www.facebook.com/Loveboundus/

I love coming here to reflect and leave flowers 🌸🌸🌸

I am adding scripts to the furniture that will allow you to store your items like clothing, shoes, jewelry and just about anything you want for your role play enjoyment, but you don't have to use this furniture for immersive RP you can use it as a secondary storage for your favorite outfits and other things you need quick access to without searching forever in your inventory for them. You can find the set in the "Bedrooms" department of the Furniture section. Blessings and much love, Lavia

"Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz,
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget..."
