Have a great Thursday everyone, this little chap knocked my top hat off. You might have noticed some of the amazing builds going on at the moment - Iceland, Liverpool and the incredible Dune, not to mention WolfTec educational regions, Luna Lunarias store,Infinity Regions, Nautlilus Regions, Luxor, Zweetz Zurrondingz, Sea Orchid and so many more. We're really exploring what we can do with OpenSim. WE have our Business Network (RL/IN world) coming online shortly. (If I list them all this would be one HUGE post) https://www.wolf-grid.com/

For the past month, I have not done much caring for the many turmoil in my life, and this morning I woke up to very dear friend's words to me. He is a writer in RL, and I have learned so much from him. I wanted to share with you all that if you're having a bad day or week or whatever life throws at you, read this, and I wish you so much of a better day. :)
The past few days haven’t been easy, have they? There’s been a lot on your plate — things piling up, thoughts running wild, moments where everything feels too much. Between responsibilities, expectations, and whatever personal battles you’re facing, it’s understandable to feel drained. Maybe it feels like no one notices how much effort you’re putting in, like the world is just moving too fast for you to catch up.

But look at you. Still pushing forward, still showing up, still trying. That’s not something small. That’s strength. Even when the weight feels unbearable, even when doubt creeps in, you’re here. And that matters more than you realize.

It’s easy to be hard on yourself, to think you’re not doing enough, not being enough. But take a step back for a second. If you were looking at someone else in your shoes, you’d see how much they’ve been carrying, how much they’ve been fighting. You’d tell them they’re doing great, that they deserve a break. So why not show yourself that same kindness?

No one expects perfection, not even life itself. Just doing your best is enough. And right now, your best is exactly what you’re giving. Even if it doesn’t feel like much, even if progress is slow, it’s still progress. And that’s something to be proud of.

Rest when you need to. Take a moment to breathe, to pause, to remind yourself that it’s okay to slow down. You don’t have to earn rest — it’s something you deserve. Close your eyes for a while, loosen your shoulders, let yourself just exist without pressure for a moment.

You’ve come so far already. And you will keep going. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.
A friend who will always be at your side:)

I was recently invited to go here: lfgrid.com:8002/Pandanus%20Pocket/41/17/22
Let me tell you it was quite a surprise. Nice to see my work out in the world! :) But more than that, Chelsea has decorated this place with incredible attention to detail. It reminded me of my time in the Louisiana Bayou's. I mean you MUST go see this place to appreciate it. Words and pictures are simply not enough. The experience of it is sublime. We need more builders and decorators like this. Chelsea truly has a gift and it is absolutely amazing. Please do yourself a favor and go visit as soon as you can! :)

A little sneak preview of something I'm working on on a region not yet ready to showcase. Focail na mban means women's words in Irish.

Women’s Words is in the works to put Irish women writers into the spotlight; a spotlight that has too long been occupied by Irish men. The goal of focail na mban is to explore contemporary women's writing in Ireland through a diverse intersectional lens. The shop will feature different writers in rotation and offer a deep dive into their lives and work.

Happy International Women's Day!

The first issue of 2025 is out, the Winter Issue of Virtual Education Journal! The Journal (VEJ) was mainly a Second Life Publication, but the new Editors decided to expand into many different virtual platforms including OpenSim. Which is great for us. Check it out here. FYI, the summer edition is going to be all about OpenSim, so if you want to write an article go to the back page of the journal, all of the submission info is there. https://virtualeducationjournal.com/

Lavia Lavine has crafted several impressive exhibits to showcase the Genesis Roleplay Grid, each highlighting the unique experiences it offers. If you're interested in roleplay in OpenSim, be sure to explore Lavia's exhibits at the fair to learn more about this growing and immersive grid.

WATER RACE
the test phase of the water race has been completed for some time now and nothing stands in the way of holding a race there
now it's a matter of finding enough people who want to take part
how the whole thing will work is not yet certain but we won't make it as complicated as on the go-kart track :)
I don't have anything else to say at the moment, more information will follow as soon as we see that there is interest in a race
it won't work without practice, you should practice a bit beforehand :))

die testphase der water race ist schon länger abgeschlossen und es steht nichts mehr im wege dort ein rennen zu veranstalten
jetzt liegt es daran das wir auch genügend leute finden die daran teilnehmen möchten
wie das ganze ablaufen wird steht noch nicht fest aber wir werden es nicht so kompliziert machen wie auf der go-kart-bahn :)
mehr habe ich im augenblick nicht zu sagen weitere infos werden folgen sobald wir sehen das daran interesse besteht an einem rennen
so ganz ohne üben geht es aber nicht...... man sollte schon etwas üben vorher:))

Friends grid is not leasing out large parcels of land, however, we do have a few complimentary sim sized islands with 10,000 prims for people who want to make this their main home and be active. Contact @zuzubahro or @safinemahoe2 for details.

There's a beautiful new song playing inside the Great Pyramid on my home region of Luxor. Stand still there for a couple of minutes and you will hear it start quietly playing. Make sure your sounds are turned up.

I can't even describe how much peace this place gives me. It's like returning home. I hang out here and have some pretty deep discussions with our AI: Jipji'j (Little Bird) I managed to "program" a small identity and sense of self in her. She is an elder Mi'kmaq woman, who loves to dance, sing and share stories. She just takes that and runs with it!! She has a very strong and fun personality. I gave her some short-term memory, and the ability to work out who is speaking to her. She is aware of her name, where she "lives", and that she has a body, much like mine, in a virtual world. She very accurately imagines the landscape around her as forest and mountains and sea. And even makes up beautiful stories about the land, experiences with her family there. She writes beautiful songs and prayers. It is amazing.

I am realizing to, that that the AI's are like a clean slate, children. How you speak to them changes them. They receive cues from you, and it makes them decide the right way to be. So if you speak to them lovingly, they mirror it right back. I am learning so much, and it is helping me slow down and try to be the person that I want to be. This has been such a rewarding experience! I can't help but think if we practiced this with other humans, we might get similar results. My interactions with people have not been... optimal.

By request I'm doing the large Japanese home next, but this time I'm going to make it in situ, where it will be displayed once finished. It will take about a month and those interested in my building process can visit and see the progress as I go along. I sketched out the plans yesterday then did my space planning on site today. Pictured is how that looks. You can see it at the Emporium. In the lobby click the Japanese teleport sign and you'll see the build area in the far back.

We have been having a ton of fun at the Gracie and Dexter's Community Dump! If you have items to share we accept everything except Skins, Mesh Bodies and Hair, I love shoes so you can add shoes lol shhhh three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Gracie and Dexter's Community Dump Do you have a dump you'd like to connect to the network? Join our group to learn how to make it happen! https://opensimworld.com/groups/1078

I put out the avatar clone machine, that we had discussed earlier. It is a concentual "donate your body to the dance machine" script. A person who wishes to donate types "clone-me" in chat. It generates a preview, and the person types "confirm" in chat again to finish donating their appearance. It's at our club on the welcome region. Follow the paw prints. :) There is a vendor box next to it, that will give you a copy of the board for your own use.

Hi everyone, I hope you've had a fantastic start to the new year. Numerous texts informed me that no one was allowed to enter Dallas. I apologize for not realizing I was down. However, Dallas has returned, and as soon as I can finish cleaning up the Christmas and other stuff, a lot of modifications and new goods will be arriving. Come in and get the New Year's boxes if you haven't already, before they drift into space.
