Welcome to my Sanctuary

 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...

Happy Second Anniversary.... to me!

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 ...

When I thought I was going to have a heart attack! 💚

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...

The Andy Hallett Online Community: Join Now

In the next few days you are going to see some changes in this page. I am not changing the name of this place, this page will stay as it is because it is a lovely place to express all that my heart needs when I look up in the stars or when I get so amazed by the circunstances that this is the only place I can reveal myself to the world. The Andy Hallett Online Community is based in a new forum - remember when you all voted in that poll few days ago?- and two groups: one in Facebook and another one here at G+.  These are all places to remember Andy, to share memories, comment episodes and movies, and help to keep the light up, help to new generations who Andy was. I know all united we can take this as far as we want. I know, by comments of other people, how isolated they feel because they love Lorne and the show Andy, but they are alone in their world. Well, you are not alone. You never were and you will never be again. So click here to join the forum . Follo...

Your opinion and help is needed: Please Read.

You might heard a rumour that I want to build a community around Andy Hallett. Yes, that little one that he used to have back in the day.

Don't Let the Memory Fade Away 🌠✨

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...

Andy's anniveresary is approaching and maybe, just maybe, you are wondering how to tribute Andy the best way. No need to worry because I have a couple of tips for you so you can tribute him the best way while you have some fun doing it. Remember that Andy and Lorne were both the life of party so why not do something in style to honour them. First thing, if you have Facebook I need you to click here and click ATTEND. Then follow the rules there. Make sure to take yourself a photo of that tribute moment and share on the TL of the event. You don't have Facebook? No worries, follow the rules I am posting next (taken from this event description): In his memory, and to raise awareness of heart problems, I am asking that people wear at least one item of green on March 29th.   Andy was more than just 'Lorne', but the character of Lorne is what he is best known for, so we are remembering him by doing what Lorne would do:   - Wear Green 💚 - Si...

Top 3 Moments of Happy Anniversary (Episode 13 Season 2)

Apart from the classic Lorne episodes ( The House Always Wins, Spin in The Bottle, Life of The Paty, Smile Time -one of his most memorable lines is in there!) one of my favourite episodes is Happy Anniversary. Today this episode was first released 17 years ago . This is actually that one episode that I never get tired of watching. The more I watch, the more I love it. Now, to conmemorate this special double anniversary here are my Top 3 moments of the episode .  "I'm the Host, I never shut up!" . Few lines can be so iconic to Lorne and at the same time to Andy. You might have heard it from Andy's voice " I could talk for hours so you tell when to shut up". And oh! I could listen to him for hours, he always amuses me so! 😍                         That awesome moment when Lorne gets that high note and  knocks the bad ones out! My hero😀💚 Lorne getting it out right!  Last but not ...

Last Competition Winners and More!

Last month you know we had a double competition going on the site. It was pretty amazing and hectic all month! 😁 I must confess that when I sent all prizes to the winners homes it reminded of my old days, on my very early twenties (late teens!) when I used to run a fan club with a friend. Everything was slightly different back then but the feeling was pretty similar. I think for some reason I believe I was born to  do this, whatever this might be! One of the most awesome feelings is the one I always have of a growing community fo a man that I believe he deserves so much more, but since he is not here to do his own I am glad to help a bit on keeping the light up high. Fortunately we have a big amount of memories to choose and share them together! 💚 So before I forget: thanks to every person in this site (and social networks) that make this place a little big bigger, for your amazing input and shared moments! - here's to much more! But I specially want to thank ...

Thank you for an awesome year!

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.

New Feauture- Photo of The Month!

Over the past two months I have been going through many photos of Andy thanks to Flickr- how I love that place!- and I have decide that I need to share somewhere my favourite photo of the moment. There are so many I love and I keep changing all the time! I plan to this every month so make sure to check the site regular. 🙂 I am sure that some of you would have memories on this event or day, so feel free to share anything on the site! This particular one has been a fave of mine from the very first moment I saw it. You know, for any Buffy and Angel fan , like me, this photo is just the zenit of both shows in one wide world.  Yes, I know Faith was on Angel, but Lorne and Faith never got to interact much so this is like they have build something beautiful off-screen.

My Tribute, My Therapy

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...

Be a Sister Site

I know there are so many sites, Twitter places, forums and Facebook Pages that can connect with the Buffyverse and Whedonverse. I would need a day with 72 hrs to explore all, shame I can't ! I thought this time I would ask you a little favour. Maybe you own a site, or you know a site (Facebook page, group, Twitter profile, forum etc), so please recommend them this, so we would exchange links and share posts, events or anything they do, I do. Mainly share the love of the Whedonverse. Be a Sister Site is just this. Now it has a very little section, with a couple of links but I would like to be bigger and get more into all this amazing universe, and even make it its own page on the main menu!💚 I'm hoping that you can email me some places and recommendatios . Looking forward to this! 😀
