Prisms, Art & Good Vibes

Posted on May 15, 2026 by Karima Hoisan

Hi everyone,
well after probably bringing you down in my last audio performance about a few negatives about “Life on Earth” I hope to  cheer you up and kindle your awe with my “prism show”
I am a “cheap date” If you bring me a helium balloon or a prism well… that’s all it takes haha to see me really happy.
Look how awe inspiring… These were shot in the early morning in my room.

Some Love In Your Pocket

Posted on April 27, 2026 by Karima Hoisan

Some Love in Your Pocket

Take some of my love with you today
Tuck it in your pocket, or your back pack
I wrapped it up, but any time you need it
it’s there, ready, to remind you, I gave it freely.

You can use it like a pick-me- up, when time lags
It’s an energy bar, your protein shake, your power-aid.
Take a  second, think of me, my love rides with you
I promise, a smile will turn your weary frown upside down

Love is easy to give; in a few words it can be sent & received
It travels miles, invisible, in silence, but you hear it loud & clear
My love walks with you, like a postman, it’s steadfast in rain & sleet
It won’t burden your steps, my love will make you light on your feet

Don’t we all feel lighter….when we feel we’re  loved?

Don’t we all feel lighter….when we feel we’re  loved?

“Daddy’s About To Sing”

Posted on April 25, 2026 by Karima Hoisan

Daddy’s About To Sing

“What time is it?”

“I think the big big light comes later”

“Did you get any new feathers,

while you were sleeping?”

“I get a few wing feathers”

“I get some tail feathers”

“I get 6 leg feathers”

“Awww wings & tails & legs are all important.”

“Were you cold last night?”

“Never!” Mommy is a fluffy furnace”

“Mommy is the Best”

(All the fledglings cheeped in agreement)

“I’m wide awake”

“I’m getting hungry”

“Me too! Me too”

“Just be patient…”

“Why? Why?Why? (they all asked)

“Shhhh” (said the 1st hatched sister)

“You boys will  need to do this too someday”

“What about you?”(they asked)

“Nope… just sometimes quietly never at this hour”

“Shhhh (they all said) “Oh I love this” “Shhhhhhh”

“Daddy’s about to sing” “Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”(all 4 at once)

Creative in All Worlds!

Posted on April 15, 2026 by Karima Hoisan

So…..
My best Second Life friend and collaborator in my virtual world builds and videos, is visiting me in Costa Rica. In 2023 Dale Innis came for a long weekend…( and a big birthday party thrown for him) but this year, he was wise to make it 10 days.
When you are two creative people….well you can do that anywhere:):)

Here we are in our RL avatars at my best friend’s and fabulous artist studio, Jan Betts! Even her window looks like a painting:)
Dale was lucky to be the only guy with my “Girl Gang”
I will surface again in WordPress after he leaves the 20th..promise:):)
and see what all of you have been up to:)

I’m Working For My Son:)

Posted on April 6, 2026 by Karima Hoisan

Hi everyone,
I guess if you live long enough (I’m 79)
You might wind up working for your son:)
I just did and I am so proud of how our first  collaborative video  turned out, I want to share it with you all, here on my blog.
That’s my son, Julian, speaking and he did the filming and editing. He asked me to do a voice over for him and I did!!
Julian, (among other things) is a Real Estate agent  and this year he is going out
on his own and has started  his own company called http://Tierravita.cr
Julian, who is bilingual was born and raised here in Costa Rica, so he knows the land and the people all his life
Here is my first “audition” and  now he says he might give me more….. Yay 🤩 Enjoy!

Eid Mubarak!!

Posted on March 19, 2026 by Karima Hoisan

After 30 days of fasting from before dawn to sunset, prayer and devotion, empathy and generosity, and acts of good deeds, comes 3 days of celebration we call Eid al Fitr (The Festival of Breaking The Fast) The new moon was sighted on the 30th day of Ramadan (today) and Eid begins at sunset.Tomorrow we drink coffee in the morning!!

In Islamic countries, like Jordan, people wear new clothes and go to the mosque, visit neighbors and family, and serve coffee and delicious chocolates to the visitors.
I will miss this here in Costa Rica…but I feel happy that tomorrow is Eid.
I felt many blessings in this last month of Ramadan. Alhamdulillah…I am very grateful!

To all muslims everywhere in the world, to my family in Jordan and Abu Dhabi and in the USA,  I wish you a very blessed and happy Eid… 🌙
Eid Mubarak!!

Good Luck!

Posted on March 15, 2026 by Karima Hoisan

 

Good Luck!

I see good luck in the strangest places
It’s been a solid thread
in my weave.
I’ve learned to expect it anywhere, anytime
and nothing is too hard to believe….

sometimes in crystals
sometimes in the leaves of the palm
to have suitors at 80
and people still coming around….

Good luck is the pen name of Grace
When Grace is shy she signs “Good Luck”
When Grace is feeling playful
she calls it your lucky day
but it’s really Grace…
coming your way.

Grace is so completely undeserved…
Nothing you do or don’t, will bring her
or keep her away.
When she feels like it, she leaves you a gift
That’s how she works and Voilá…
It’s your lucky day!

* Footnote: The lines that begin “sometimes in crystals
sometimes in the leaves of the palm…” I woke up in the middle
of the night, repeating.. I wrote them down..I guess they wanted to be
this poem…( I do hope so 🙂
