My Andy Hallett's Place

 Three years ago when I started my Blogger site I thought I could called it My Sanctuary. I thought it was a bit pretentious. I wasn’t very sure where life would take me. Today for the first time in all my life I know where I am going. Maybe still is pretentious but maybe it can be sanctuary for you and some more, not only me. How to use this site As sanctuary you should sit and relax and enjoy the view, the reading, comment, share and make yourself at home. I will start off with my favourite section, Meet Andy Hallett . You may think you already know everything about this awesome man. This my fave page ever because not only I have shared my favourite quotes of Andy but also some memories of people that shared with me or I’ve found here and there. For all-time-fans or newbies, you’re going to love this!. After that joyful trip, you may want to visit The Community . This page is where I have shared some of the tributes I have done the past three years. It is meant to remain the s...

 Out of time or maybe just on the right time. When I met Andy my life was kind of chaotic and messed up. So maybe I needed something to put me back on track. So these are five lessons that I learned from Andy . Five things that I needed to know or remember. Lesson 1: always stand for what you believe. One of the things that I love most from Andy when I knew him was he was so spontanous, charismatic and funny – he definetely knew how to connect with people in one unique way he could only do. That was my first lesson. Despite people don’t like what you do or are, always be yourself, stand for what you are and you believe . I believe Andy always was true his heart and word. Lesson 2: passion for music. Three years ago I was completely disconnected from myself. My life was passionless or at least, I felt something went wrong in some point. Andy connected me again with one of my passions . Andy showed me passion for music. I started to listen music again and further more, I started to f...

  Many times we consider that we should give up the thing we love in order to be an adult, to have the life that others expect you should. House, car, kids, full time job. Maybe that was not the life you dreamed of when you were kid. Are you familiar with any of this?. I have lived this a couple of times. I knew this song when my life was again in the middle of change. The difference now is my soul feels free and  this song sends me right to an emotional mood, an emotional bliss that I have hardly experienced in my life. Music has that power, the power to send you right to heaven… or so that place they call heaven and we rarely experience on this wordly life. This guy might sound familiar to you… and might the song as well.  Too beautiful not to be shared.

Remember when a while ago I used to write about those songs it would remind me to Andy?. I got so busy I stopped paying attention to music's messages. This song somehow reminds me of Andy. It actually puts myself into a super positive mood and when singing those lines I see Andy's beautiful face looking back down😄. You crazy chick, must think if he actually does look down 🙈 I believe. 🎶"Cauuse we belong together now yeah.... you got a piece of me... And honestly my life will suck without you"🎤🎶 (If only I had half the voice Kelly has...😅 ) My life will actually suck without Andy (and this site). 💚 Got any song lately that reminds you of Andy?. Share with me on the comments below. Thanks 😊

Two years I started this site. You can check it, first entry was on November 6th 2016. 😲 Two days before my birthday I remember watching the Slayerfest Youtube video and since then, my life has not been the same. 😍 My heart felt like it find a little light that flooded it all. It felt like it was back in one piece. And as strange as it is, right after that it broke into a million pieces. It will recover from the pain and then again, broke again.💚 For months it's been like that. I'm not sure it healed already. This site is my therapy. It is the place where I keep coming back, the place where Andy still lives among us. He is still here. Somehow.😇 Probably the blame's on me for denying the reality. But how can you accept it?.😓 I can only think of the pain all friends and family must has suffered and suffer now today. I can only apologize for being so blind and selfish. 😩🙏 One of the risks of this site is the constant feeling ...

I had a dream tonight. I fall asleep at a foreign bed, I woke up into another reality. Everything was so bright, so clean, so peaceful. I went out of the bedroom. I heard a water sound on the room next door. I looked out the doorstep and there you were. Big smile, full of joy and looking like you were never gone. When I woke up I could only remember how much I miss you. The peace your smile always provides me, real or not. Thank you these magic moments. Real or not.

It happened.  I never thought it would. Ok, that's not exactly like that. I expected to happen sometime but I completely forgot It could happen. I was too focus on my career (again), on my family on my present, on my pure joy of living today and not the past or present that I completely forgot something else could happen. Beautiful wonders of Internet. But I tell you something, past always knocks on you when you least expect. It always happen. A very lovely lady contacted through Instagram. This site's Instagram. She told she found my site and liked it.  She is friend of Andy's mum, Laurie. She also told me Laurie knew about this site (😱). If you are suscribed to this site (and are part of Facebook and/or Andy Hallett Online Community ) you might have read already about this. I needed to share here because it's been over a week since it happened, my emotions are back to normal, I have calm down and I can see how much of a shock that was. S...

I had a meeting downtown where I would meet a client of mine. I was ready to go and win everyone over in that meeting but for some reason I didn't get a taxi cab to drive me to the place. I instead took the underground. So then something magic happened. When opening the entry door to the undergroud, a guy was waiting for me right there, holding the door.  When I looked him in the eye something familiar I found.  It was Andy. Not sure what it was but he was definitelty very look alike. His eyes, his mouth, his face, not his nose of course and neither his high.  But was it a coincidence? Was a sign from up above?. I believe it was somehow and that evening everything felt different. Ginny xx

I can't believe it's bee so long since I last posted here. My bad!😔 Life keeps me busy. Trying to find your space in the world it ain't easy. I've been searching for that special place for about 10 years. Pushing and trying oportunities in the way. I feel somehow I've been reborn. I was feeling like kind of lonely in this world, then something happens that shakes me and wakes me up from my sleep. Wake up little girl, you're not alone. I say to myself. Though I feel alone most of the time when I'm fighting against all odds.  Today is one of these days, I feel so tired that I think I've pushed myself away too much. But then again when I think about my life now I see all the changes, all the chances gained, all the oportunities still ahead I feel like sometime soon I will feel fully accomplished.  One of my favourite moments of the year is about to come. Happening on Sunday. Watching again Chance with Amber Benson, James Marsters and A...

It's every time I see a photo I haven't seen or process in my mind, when I get lost in the intense look, that smile that shone once in the world.  Since then everything's darker. It is said that life is what you make of it but I truly believe something is changed since 2009. Lorne (Andy Hallett) and Mercedes McNabb (aka Harmony)  Believe it or not, 2009 was a year when I decided to break with everything and and everyone in my life. I decided I had enough of that life I was living, friends, idols, music. But when I thought It was meant to be that dark, that's the way adult life is: my life changed  again one day when I was 35 years old (I was 28 in 2009) because my husband convinced me to watch Angel for the firsttime. That was 2 years ago. I think I entered the adult life then (2009) when I turned 36 I decided to be a child again, with innocence, passion, regretless, shameless.  As a child I though I could dream eternally pretending Andy w...

I have been a little bit absence from this site and all my Andy Hallett 's pages. You might wonder what's going and what's the reason I have been so silent lately. There's a powerful reason to all this. The best way you can understand is telling you what's been going on in my life. When this year started I really thought all my little problems were over. I was determined to focus on my future and giving my business a second chance. My partner and I decided to change the main activity so last Christmas we were doing all these changes.   For a couple months we tried to work it out but some family problems didn’t let us focus at all on  our work. Bills were still coming, everyday was harder to get a new client (basically because of our lack of time).  Once Easter Week past, we announced to all our clients and suppliers, friends and colleagues that our six-old-business was closing for good. There were many things that hastened the ending of our wine d...

While my life is still upside down, I try to hold on to the only thing and person that I know can bring me back to who I really am with almost no-scars. Some you may feel like life is getting harder, others will feel you are at your perfect moment and maybe all of you every now and then will stare to the sky nostalgic remembering the good ol' times. We all have some of those, don't we?. And it makes us feel (maybe) old, fortunate (for sure) and blessed because we have the chance to look back and smile at it. Hold on to that smile, feel like your heart fills up with pure joy - and without noticing, feeling it brings out the best of you. Hold it. Breathe and keep it, Got it?. That's exactly what I want for Andy and this site. It's not only about making Andy's memory last through time but also to build up memories of joy and warm feelings, love and light. Hope in the future knowing such special person and artist is still here with us through our memori...

I am feeling the world is moving on, the memories are melting away. 9 years ago Andy left us orphaned  of laughter, joy and light.💔 Sadly or fortunately, I am far to do that. 😟 Once you have gone through your own mourning it's time to move on with your life and though you will never forget, you prefer to live for him. I completely understand but forgive me for mourning my way - just like Frank Sinatra will sing!🎤 Yesterday was a day of bittersweet moments but despite of the absence I noticed, I also noticed -still- lots of love for Lorne and Andy Hallett and that also gives me hope and joy for a future of light. The messages I read around from all of you that always makes me both sad and happy! How loved Andy was, how people still remember him with such fond feelings.  Despite some sadness is always around these days, my heart always feels warm for the love and the "new" likes on my Facebook Page! Getting some love for Andy always cheers me up. Thinki...

My life's been kind of chaotic lately. Christmas was the time when many changes started and I'm still adapting to the new life coming. Nothing and everyting can happen now. Quitting many things and starting new ones. Due to all this I have not had the time to sit and watch all the Lorne episodes I'd had wished. Today, though, has been the first time I could watched First Impressions again - how much I miss watching this show and oh boy, that song in Lorne's voice! ♡ You might have noticed my little absence for a while but as you know, I have been planning the new year and I promise to be sharing all news very soon. For the moment you can visit the events sections to save the date for all coming events !  (Remember you can suscribe HERE to get all event reminders  - Make sure to choose A for 1 reminder/month or B for 1 reminder/week). There are many surprises coming so stay tune! You are going to love this ! Just trying to to make some time in the...

The magic of the Buffy world is amazing! I remember how many sites from the Buffy universe and Jossx Whedon-verse shared my site when I decided to launch the site on December 2016.  I didn't have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc and of course, no suscribers - it was way too soon for that!- It's been so awesome how all the Buffy and Whedon groups welcomed my Lorne and Andy posts. It was all based on this site. I'm so thankful and blessed because I always felt so welcomed. Check how far I've come, might be not much but to me it's a lot more than I ever expected Visitors to the site in 12 months 67 followers on Instagram 270 followers on Twitter 270 fans on Facebook 17 suscribers on 2017. Hope you have enjoyed this year with me and hoping you will be with me on the new year ahead. Thanks for all the joy and light you gave me! See you next year. Ginny xx He was so special and unique, it has to be shared, told and known...

I'm not the kind of girl to moan about things, I'm not even keen to repeat one things or give lectures about anything. In this corner of mine I consider to go back in time and explain why I do the things I do. Let my heart speak, let those little unresolved things in me out and also thank the Lord and Universe I have come this far and reached this point. One of the most amazing things ever in all this time is when I randomly get the chance to know one of those stories that are now part of the insights of all the cons Andy attended. Those that have become legend. Some of which I have seen some photos of.  And then, I wish I could have been there. All those memories you are so kind to share are now part of me and help me to have a fair view of who Andy was . You know, it's something like whe you are doing a puzzle and you are trying to put together all the pieces and with each one of them it's little part of Andy that you fill in to build the perfect -if that can...

I know you have never heard of this song before but this has now become my favourite. Andy's voice in there it’is just awesome! Just for this day, for this month, this video and song might be double at the site but I’m way too excited to have this new song in Youtube (Thanks to Angelo Panetta, I own my life for this!) to forget it easily. So let me get a bit emotional in here, but I would have never thought of this before. Since Andy has “bumped” into my life he has done big impact and still does. This song helps me in my daily life to get through all kind of problems and gives me the light I need when I need it. Have a listen, if you haven’t before, and let me know what you think. More info about the song here . Watch the Video pn Youtube Here  Thanks for visiting, commenting and reading. Ginny xx P.S. Make sure not to miss tomorrow's event: Spin in The Bottle Anniversary Week. All info on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. 

I can't believe it's been a year since all started for me. A year ago I remember I was watching Season 3 of Angel for the first time. Since then, there has not been a day I haven't watched an episode of Angel. I still can't get enough of all of it. All this year has been a wonderful year of discovering an amazing person and incredibly talented man.That man that I discovered a year ago. A year ago when I started this blog and tribute page was almost my birthday. Happy Birthday to me, must have said life. Let me introduce you to someone that will change your life forever. How on time, you damned! Along this year I have cried so many times, I have laugh so hard, I have dreamed so high,I have hoped and done so many things. My mind has always been a beehive of ideas and projects: some have come real and some others are waiting the right moment to see the light. I have met some nice people. I have dreamed sometimes about Andy. Some maybe because I made it h...

Nothing to do with Andy, but if you read me regular, you know that for some reason this song will be connected. Camp Rock is one of my favourite movies. This kind of things didn't happen when I was a kid, or at least, we didn't  get any in my country. Everytime I watch this movie (as well as High School Musical , though I prefer Camp Rock) it would remind me of my dreams when I was a teen, it would remind me of my love for music and everything connected with it. Just like this song would speak to the lethargic artist in me, Andy would remind me of all this and why I used to love the whole thing so much. Just like Andy did and still does, this song speaks all about my dreams and the person I hope I'll be someday. Maybe you feel the same, or maybe not. What I know for sure is Andy is the meaning of light and music that would speak to my heart and soul. What you think about this song and movie? What song reminds you of Andy?. Thanks for your comments! I very ...
