I believe that human relationships are the most important thing in both SL and RL.  I love to help people, and I am never too busy to talk, whether it be with a friend, newbie, or anyone who needs help or just wants to chat.  Being nice, friendly, and slow to anger are the best ways to make our SL experience a good one.  The best thing we can do for someone is to ''listen'' to them and show that we are genuinely interested in them.  In SL even more than in RL, we have the opportunity to meet and learn from such a diversity of people from different countries, religions, ethnic backgrounds, and interests.  Being open to new experiences and new friends is a wonderful way to learn and broaden our horizons, and the most valuable thing we can get out of SL is to increase our knowledge of the real world through the people we meet in the virtual world.

Where I Live

My home is Nan-tathren, in the beautiful Ambiance estate, a group of sims created by the very talented designer Ty Evans. It is a mountainous region, with waterways running through it, great for sailing. There are many waterfalls and trees. I think it is one of the prettiest residential areas in SL.


My home, Nan-tathren Christmas at Nan-tathren


My home is open to anyone who would like to come and explore. The doors are all phantom so feel free to walk right in. Be sure to feed the ducks, and don't forget to take the teleport on the front deck up to the Treehouse in the sky, and see all my critters. I love animals, and I have a large menagerie thanks to the talented creators at Zooby, Lolo, Animania, and Second Wildlife.


What I Do

I love to build things! My profession is furniture design, and I have two shops. You can visit them here:

Earthsong Design where I sell furniture and home accessories inspired by nature.

Siren Song where I sell nautical-themed products.

I also build custom homes. Please IM me in-world if you would like to discuss a building project.


What I Do For Fun

I have been a resident of SL since July, 2004 and I continue to find it a remarkable and fascinating experience every day. The amazing talent and creativity of the SL community makes this a unique and wonderful world. One of my favourite things to do is explore and visit all the many cool places that my fellow residents have made.

Of course I love to shop, and I spend way too much time and money engaging in my 'favourite sport'. (*grins*) I also spend a lot of time at live music concerts. My current favourite artists are Shantu Selene, Noma Falto, and kelvinblue Oh.

If you would like to see more pics of my wanderings through SL, see my Flickr page. Or, if you are on Facebook, add me as your friend :)


About Mentoring

I love my work as an SL Mentor, and I am very proud to be a member of the team. They are all remarkable people who give their time, unpaid, to help new SL residents. Of course we have a lot of fun too, and great parties :) My volunteering gives me the chance to meet people and make friends from many different cultures and backgrounds, from all over the world. It's just one of the many ways that SL has broadened my horizons. If you think that you would enjoy mentoring, go here for more information.
