Ryan has brought up a wonderful topic. What do we do when we are thinking about and planning the inevitable? Second Life is my hobby of choice and I have put a lot of work into AmandaMagick. She has her own personality and has risen to a stature in SL of something I can be proud of. AmandaMagick should not have a limited life since she is virtual and can live on…
I think Second Life is a wonderful place to upload who we are and let that existence remain long after we are gone. This experience is a chance to be who we are inside or the creative aspects of us that we can’t be in the real world. Its a part of our consciousness that can be perfect in whatever ways we wish. Being able to leave our avatar to someone of who we choose and trust is a lovely gift…. from what I hear LL has this process in place if we really want it and need it.
Please rest assured that if something happens in my life and I have to step away from SL for a while, I will be sending all my list a notecard inworld and a post on FB. I would never just disappear. If I do disappear you will find out why by 2 or more people of my choice and you will know its real.
Much Love,
AmandaMagick

This is all happening so fast that it is making my head spin.
And, well, obviously, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my own mortality.
I actually don’t have a lot of material possessions. My biggest purchases in life have been my computer and my car. And I don’t have a will yet; I’ve been putting it off, and putting it off…
