ANOTHER new boy! This is Bastien, a LLT Roderich on a Dollshe body.
His face up was done by Kleine Katze, who I bought him from. She has done a truly wonderful job on him- I couldn't be happier! <3
What a wonderful way to immortalise one's gift: to have monograms and coats-of-arms carved in stone onto one of the most beautiful stone vaults in the country!
This is the vault of the Divinity School in Oxford, and while theologians debated below, in the vaults, the names of benefactors, looked on...
In every breath, a universe unfolds,
Each atom a testament, ancient and bold.
In rivers that flow, in mountains that rise,
The divine essence, a silent guise.
From the flutter of wings to the stars' dance above,
All intertwined in a tapestry of love.

Marshmallows, chocolate, caramel and nuts are used individually and collectively to create delectable treats in candy shops. Marshmallows generally consist of sugar or corn syrup, water, pre-softened gelatin, dextrose, and preferable flavorings. Marshmallows date back to the ancient Egyptians. This royal marshmallow treat was to be reserved for gods and royalty. The French were introduced to the marshmallow in the mid 1800s. Commercial marshmallows were introduced in the late nineteenth century. Chocolate is a tasty secret of the cacao tree. The tree was first discovered 2,000 years ago in the tropical rainforests of the Americas. The first people that were known to make chocolate were the ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America. These people, which included the Maya and the Aztec, would ground the beans together and add seasonings to make a spicy, frothy drink. Later, the Spanish conquistadors gathered and brought the seeds back to Spain where more recipes grew. The Spanish monks that were consigned to process the cocoa beans finally let the secret out. Eventually the drink’s popularity increased and spread through Europe. In 1765, New England held the first chocolate factory to be established in the New World. The production of chocolate in the United States is larger than any other country in the world. Caramel is made by heating sugar and as the sugar melts, the once solid sugar crystals are now a dark colored, sweet compound that contains the characteristics of caramel. Certain cola beverages use caramel colorings for their product. Sugar must be heated to near total caramelization to achieve this caramel coloring. The substance, when ready, is a dark, unsweetened liquid. Caramel can also be referred to a chewy, soft, sweet candy. Nuts are a favorite ingredient to be mixed with chocolate, marshmallow, caramel, etc. Pictured here are pralines with pecans. Pecans are native to North America. The pecan is a member of the hickory family and is closely related to the walnut. The Algonquin Indians gave the English the term “pecan”, or paccan, which refers to a nut so hard it had to be cracked open with a stone. Today, the United States produces about eighty percent of the world’s pecans. This picture was taken at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Dalton, Georgia. Pictured in the glass windows are some chocolate advances that have been made throughout the years. Chocolate caramel marshmallows, white chocolate marshmallows, divinity, and pecan clusters are few of the many different recipes which incorporates chocolate.

Today was just an ugly day all around. A good cry and playing with blythe does a girl some good sometimes. I literally played with my girls all day - felt good.
There is so much we are not taught about the spirituality or sacredness of our divinity that we fall out of touch with our sexuality. Our host, Amanda Biccum, takes us closer to our connection by reawakening our conscious sexuality. At the heart of it is the ancient practice of tantric sex that could increase and create mind-body connections.

I know she’s old news fir everyone else but I finally have mine in hand and she‘sso cool, especially the henna tattoos!
My world is so upside down. Sometimes I catch myself truly wishing I could fast forward a year from now. I get so anxious, what will I be doing today a year from now? . . .But I shouldn't, I should be reveling in what is life right now, today. Something's been bothering me today and yesterday. I recently heard about a teen death of someone I hardly even knew except went to the same school with. .I don't even know how or what happened. But it's scary. I'm scared. And it's not like we as a society aren't used to our mortality being shoved in our own faces, but when it's someone your own age, who's only in high school, it's petrifying. Because it could happen to any of us, at any second. Some before they even have a chance to leave anything behind. And it's pure arrogance to think that it couldn't happen to you. . .why not? Are you or I so divine to this place? Does everything really happen for a reason? That's not fair. That's almost heartless to compare anothers life to your own and render it not "useful" or not "destined" to be here.
...Or is that the only explanation keeping us sane?
That we should put it in our minds so to keep the fear away. . .Well I won't do that.
Because I see that fear as a good thing. A constant reminder that I can't just sit down
and waste time day by day. That I will make something of myself in this world and that
I will make a real CHANGE in this world. That I will live each day like it is my last. .I don't
have a death wish, nor am I a negative person. I actually want to live until 110! And I
plan on that! I'm not advocating recklessness, just for that fire in our hearts to keep
burning. . .Isn't it ironic that for most humans, we work, fight, and LIVE harder when
we think our existence is in jeopardy? When it's for the sake of our survival? I'll never
live in fear because I do believe in some higher place out there, and I hope to spend it
with those dearest to my heart one day. And if there's one thing I have to say or get off my chest here or some point I truly want to make right now this second is,
I am so grateful, for my life.
. . .And I will never take that or my health or the one's I love existence and health for granted. I will MAKE a reason, a PURPOSE for this life, and it will be AMAZING. In honor of those who never had a chance. Because any of those people could have been me or someone I loved. Last year I had a near death experience a few days after my birthday, my mom was there, too. And that night as I walked out without more than a few scratch & bruises I promised then that I would LIVE FREE. And experience all this life has to offer. And never give up the fight, for survival, for happiness, and the love I have for this world. That I would fulfill my hopes and dreams and be fearless. Because when it's our time, lights will guide us home.
...I love you Adam, when you read this.<3
