With every passing year Second Life news grows and our
readers learn about new venues, products, residents, anniversaries, events and
sometimes even dramatic situations that shape the virtual community. News is
something that creates a bridge of information to the masses and provides
entertainment for many as well as gives people a voice. It has been one of my
greatest virtual journeys as the creator of SLE. I’ve grown as a person and
made many friends through the years who have added so much to my experience.
With great pleasure it is my honor to continue serving the Second Life
community with Team SLE.
With that said, many things have happened in 2014. Things
that made us laugh, shake our heads in disbelief as well as inform the public
of the wonderful things that residents share with each other in Second Life.
Let’s look back at a few headlines and stories of 2014 as
we begin 2015.

Note from Lanai Jarrico
As we begin a new year and look back at the past, we
should remember that each and every experience we have had, shapes who we are
and what we will become in the future. People enter our lives at different
times in our journey with a purpose to remind us that our differences teach us
and helps make us all unique. We should
take the good with the bad and learn from it. Forgive the negatives, it helps us move forward while the positives add substance to our lives. Take a
moment to reflect on the past year and then store it in your box of memories,
file it away to make room for new memories. Together we all move forward as
time waits for no one. Remember this and step forward into 2015. I look forward
to what news it will bring.
May you all have a safe and happy new year.
