Bon je bosse énormément en ce moment mais j'ai eu la chance de faire des rencontres ultra-déterminantes dans mon activité et c'est génial. Je sais pas si ça vous arrive parfois mais je sens que dans ma vie beaucoup de trucs sont en train de se mettre en place, des trucs trop positifs et je suis hypé de ouf. J'ai l'impression qu'enfin les années de galères et d'épreuves seront bientôt derrière moi. Punaise, j'en aurais bavé... Mais bon, comme nous tous au final hein 😉

Hier, on m'a fait un super compliment : "t'irradies d'un truc super positif, on voit que t'es heureux et c'est entrainant". Hé hé hé ! J'essaie de m'inscrire toujours plus dans la bienveillance et de voir le verre à moitié plein constamment (après avoir passé 30 ans à le voir à moitié vide, je peux me le permettre, non ?) et en vrai je me rends compte que quand t'as un bon état d'esprit bha t'attire trop des gens dans le même mood que toi, c'est énergétique ou magnétique et du coup comme dans un holisme, ya un truc supérieur qui en ressort.

J'ai viré tout ce qu'il y a avait de toxique autour de moi et j'avoue que je suis devenu assez cash à ce niveau là. Si ça me perturbe, hop ça dégage, basta !

J'extériorise de plus en plus ce que je pense aussi. Alors ok parfois je suis un vrai petit con tellement je suis provocateur mais en vrai c'est cool et faut aussi accepter d'avoir autant de fréquences hautes que de basses et c'est ce qui te crée ta propre mélodie.

Et la foi dans tout ça ? Et croire en soi n'est-ce pas la plus belle chose qui soit ? Deviens ton propre temple et tout ce que tu feras sera sacré.

Faith Fromund by Chant Lyric

It is not often in our virtual world when you meet a person who, despite meeting you for the very first-time steps in and helps you out with absolutely no expectation in return. The help on this very first occasion was not a simple gesture of help, but something that then turned into a massive effort on her part.

I met such a person who I am so grateful to call a friend – her name is Faith Fromund from Faith Fashions, an aspiring talented designer who has the most fantastic range of vintage clothing, Halloween outfits just to name a few!

Be sure to take a walk around the sim to the different themes as this is where you will find more of Faith’s designs. Faith sells shout cast streams as well, she has karoke on her sim.

Since that first meeting, Faith and I have become close and someone I consider to be a very good friend.

Some months ago, I was preparing for a special event – 1950’s event, the sim all decked out and for the first time felt I could actually do something constructive for Faith – what better way than to have Faith set up a stall for the 50’s event and promote her fantastic products. Not only did she spend hours putting her stand together, creating new designs but started sending the featured artist and myself some of her 1950’s designs to make sure we had ‘plenty of options’ for our outfits. Some of Faith’s designs have been featured in my photo’s – e.g. The Pink Ladies. She was so excited about the event and the opportunity to show off her designs – as was I. We were both really looking forward to this event.

She worked around the clock creating outfits for both men and women for this special event. The outfits are so detailed and come with accessories, shoes, bobby socks – so much work into each outfit.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am unable to proceed with the event and the sim will be closing within days. It has not been possible for me to be online much in recent months, and I am no longer able to sustain the sim. I can live with that, it is all okay, what is not okay for me is the fact I feel as if I have let down a very special lady. She made absolutely no fuss over it at all and immediately offered her sim for the event, then went on to insist that I have a place to stay on her sim as did my other dear friend Aimee when I am online.

This act of kindness once again by Faith is so typical of her. Unfortunately, due to my situation RL it was not even possible for me to be online to follow up with her generosity of spirit. I am deeply saddened for Faith, not for me, and truly feel like I have let her down so for this reason I want to pay this honor to her in this post and hope that in some small way it touches her heart, and she realizes how much I value, respect, and love her for who she is.

This lady has continued to just give of herself, never wanting anything in return. Her kindness and ability to give without expectations in return is such an admirable trait and I thank her for this from the bottom of my heart.

Please if you can, take the time to check out Faith’s Fashions at her sim.

p.s. I captured this photo and caught her poking her tongue out – too cute, just like Faith ♥

Faith is not settled belief but living process. It is the very edge and opening of life in process. To live is to step with trust into the next moment: into the unpredictable.

Sometimes when faith is running low

And I cannot fathom why things are so,

I walk among the flowers that grow

And learn the answers to all I would know.

For among my flowers I have come to see

Life’s miracle and its mystery,

And standing in silence and reverie,

My faith comes flooding back to me.”

― Helen Steiner Rice

Romans 10:17

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

So when one listens and follows the narratives of those who hated and ridicule the deity of God, surely their minds will be seared in disbelief too.

What proves God is a myth and false deity? Now the prophecies are happening, are most still sleeping? Next coming they'll stop these fools breathing, the end.

I was going through my massive files and saw this photo. I found what was left of this poster in an alleyway,Chatt.,Tn. a few years ago.

These words seem more appropriate than ever for the troubled times that we are living in. Without faith ,we have nothing.

First Baptist Church is one of only several buildings left standing in Mayfield after the tornado ripped through in December 2021.

When the tornado hit, the church pastor, his family and another staff member took shelter in a tunnel underneath the church. The pastor said in an interview that it was disorienting to see the town after he emerged from shelter. He was quoted saying "I thought something was wrong with me. I was confused. I couldn’t see any buildings. I couldn’t see buildings I’ve seen my whole life."

Although the tornado hit nearly a year and a half ago now, progress is still being made to repair the church. While the exterior of the building survived, the interior has to be completely remodeled due to extensive roof damage. It is said that the time-span for repairs will be nearly a three year process from the date that the tornado hit. While the repairs continue, the church members hold strong to their faith and have adapted. The church still meets in rented space and Sunday School is held at different businesses and homes throughout the community.

You can read more about the church and the pastor's account here:
