Project Positivity

I saw my friend Randi plurk her Project Positivity picture and I was curious as to what it was all about. She also had the link to where it all started so I checked out the blog post from Keira Seerose over on the SL Style Directory. I love this 'challenge'.

I had recently followed in the footsteps of someone who I admire for her courage, determination and honesty, Auguste Finistair, and did my 5 confessions about the RL me on plurk so this was perfect.

Normally I would have found it hard to talk positively about myself. But recently I have sorta seen the world differently....the SLWorld as well. So at 8:07pm today, 4th of January (Australian Time) I stated my first positive about myself.....

1. I love my eyes. I think they are my best feature.

..........then I just kept going....................

2. I love that I have a bubbly personality.

3. I love being artistic. I can draw, sew, paint, build & write.

4. I love that I have a huge family that I can always depend on.

5. I love that I can say proudly I am a plus size girl. Curves Rule!

6. I love being tall.

7. I love that I have two sisters that are 8yrs & 12yrs and I am 32yrs even though some think the age diff. odd.

8. I love that I love deeply and faithfully

9. I love my sense of humour, no matter how warped it is.

..........and at 8:36pm I got to my last positive about me. Which is also a positive about a person I consider my best friend who also has her own difficulties realising she is someone of a lot more worth than she gives herself credit for. Sanura Snowpaw is my best friend and someone that I consider a sister so it felt only right that I share my positives with her........

10. I love that I made a friend for life in SL. She is as much a sister to me as my RL sisters are and I would do anything for her. <3>

Even if you don't have a flickr page to share/contribute your Project Positivity, or you don't have a blog to share it on, stop and take a few minutes for yourself and even just jot them on the nearest scrap of paper. We all need a little positive encouragement in our lives from time to time and we can't accept it and make a better life for each other if we ourselves can't even say something positive about ourselves.

Thank you Keira for this awesome 'challenge'.

I decided to use an RL pic of me. Since these positives are about the secretary behind the keyboard for Arora's pixels.

Day 3

Generally on these daily pics there will not be a blurb to accompany it. But this one deserves it. Tee, Tape and Face writing all supplied free at *Dreams* by Sanura Snowpaw. Accompanying the Tee is a notecard with information about NO H8 and what it stands for (as copied below). Sanura used the 'Love' part of the logo created by Trace Osterham for the front of this tee. The rest of the design was made solely by her. This tee is only for NO H8 and no profit will be made from it.

Love and commitment know no bounds of race, creed, colour, sex or handicap. (from www.whiteknot.org/index.html )

"On November 4th, 2008 Proposition 8 passed, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

In the wake of the defeat, there has been a groundswell of initiative from within the community at grassroots level. Seizing this opportunity, new political and protest organizatitions are forming almost daily. The NOH8 Campaign is a photo project & silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in direct reponse to the passage of Proposition 8.

The campaign started with portraits of everyday Californians who support Marriage Equality and soon rose to celebrities, military personnel, brothers & sisters, law enforcement, lesbian mothers, directors, politicians, newlyweds, and more. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths symbolizing their voices not being heard and NOH8 painted on one cheek in protest. " (from the NO H8 campaign website, www.noh8campaign.com)

As residents of SL and as individual human beings, we have the right to a voice. The NO H8 campaign in SL is a way for us to say "Hey, we want our voices to be heard." Please pass the word on. (From Trace Osterham / Kristen Pick)
