The Second Life sanctuary

There should be a space in our Second Life homes that should lift our spirits. It’s simple, warm, and always bathed in sunlight. Though it exists in a digital world, the sense of peace it can bring is entirely real. Each time we log in it should feel like a reset. The golden light streaming [...]
