We&#8217;ve let what is supposedly &#8220;time freeing&#8221; become &#8220;time consuming.&#8221; Slow do, relinquish that which you really don&#8217;t care about and pick up following your heart&#8217;s desires again. As a matter of philosophy, I am <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Slow_movement\" target=\"_blank\">slow<\/a>. I don&#8217;t need to be on all the social sites, trying to keep up with 359 friends who I wouldn&#8217;t even consider &#8220;friends&#8221; in a pre-tech world (I don&#8217;t mean that in a close-minded way, just that real friends are vastly different from &#8220;social network friends&#8221;). I don&#8217;t need all the latest tech toys and fancy materialism that put others in debt they later complain &#8220;ruined their life.&#8221; Take a moment, slow down, and find out what you really need (not what you want, what you <em>need<\/em>). Spiraling out of control is easy in today&#8217;s fast world and that&#8217;s just what the big wigs want. I&#8217;m fighting back by slowing down. Do a little reading on the Slow Movement (link above) and find your own slow pace. It really is the best thing I ever did.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.novadestin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Snapshot_039a.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2641 aligncenter\" alt=\"Snapshot_039a\" src=\"http:\/\/www.novadestin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Snapshot_039a.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.novadestin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Snapshot_039a.png 1000w, http:\/\/www.novadestin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Snapshot_039a-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>My week 14 &#8220;Strip Your Inhibitions&#8221; entry for the <a href=\"http:\/\/secondlifefashionblog.com\/50-shades-of-sexy\/\" target=\"_blank\">50 Shades of Sexy Challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wearing:<\/strong><br \/>\nShape: <a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.secondlife.com\/p\/Nova-Shape-60-by-delogikal\/4260692?id=4260692&amp;slug=Nova-Shape-60-by-delogikal\" target=\"_blank\">Nova by -*delogikal*-<\/a> &#8211; 100L<br \/>\nSkin: <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/SandyBeach%20West\/26\/237\/24\" target=\"_blank\">[ROCKBERRY] Apple 8\/Natural\/BRN\/Clv<\/a> &#8211; Lucky board prize, other tones available on other boards<br \/>\nEyes: <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Framboise%20Island\/177\/207\/21\" target=\"_blank\">&lt;MARIKO&gt; cafe coffe eyes_02 (M)<\/a> &#8211; Old hunt gift<br \/>\nHair:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Koh%20Mina%20Beach\/50\/194\/25\" target=\"_blank\">MINA Hair &#8211; Moriko long &#8211; Essentials<\/a> &#8211; 275L for Essentials pack, 250L per colorpack<br \/>\nLingerie Set: <a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.secondlife.com\/p\/Dollarbie-YLH-Lace-Floral-Bra-Panties-Set-21-Psd-Templates-instant-download-Link\/3894468?page=3\" target=\"_blank\">{YLH}-Lace &amp; Floral<\/a> &#8211; 1L<br \/>\nPose: <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Animation%20Island\/6\/55\/322\" target=\"_blank\">Laying_Arm_Across_M<\/a> &#8211; 600L, part of animation pack<br \/>\nLocation: <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Gilmour\/177\/130\/23\" target=\"_blank\">HuMaNoiD<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve allowed our lives to get too complicated.
