As I look at the calander and see that it's almost May - I reflect on all that I am; all that I've felt; all that I plan to do for those I have lost & those fighting for life at this moment.

The hardest and toughest thing to be in this life-is being YOU-being UNIQUE or simply being-SLOW TO SPEAK or just being; of which your mind and outside opinions of others are continually waring against; is to be your complete self. You cannot be yourself, if you don't know who you are. And you cannot know who you are, if you don't know where you come from. This is our only battle and quest in this life; to find out who we are and where we come from. Survival is just secondary. Go beyond your human knowledge of who you think you are; your life's journey starts from this point. Life is waiting for you to discover the realization of who you are. Start your journey, in search for the truth of you. Don't abandon the search, because the only truth that you need to discover, is the truth of you; that's what that empty void inside of all of us is about. Don't abandon the search of discovering the truth about you. There will be many truths along your path; but there is only one. Don't settle for any other truths until your void is filled. Smile -- It makes a world of difference. Dance -- Who knows when you wont be able to. Cry -- Holding those emotions in is bad for you. Kiss -- Kisses are the most wonderful things in the world. Laugh -- Whats the point in hiding happiness? Frown -- Why not let him know you're unhappy? Apologize -- You don't wanna lose friends. Hug -- There's no better feeling being wrapped up close to someone you love. Live -- because life is everything. - i Found it...Sometimes, in order to become emotionally and mentally strong, you have to be broken down to your weakest point in order to build yourself back up. Not only broken down, but ripped to pieces in order to realize that life is not that fairytale that you grew up wishing upon! Tomorrow is a blank page, just waiting to be filled with your dreams... All you have to do is be yourself and live the story of your own unique life. Be proud. Be confident. And most of all be happy.. My words may not impress you but my actions will.
You've gotta wake up every morning and ask yourself, 'How bad do I want it?' How much work are you willing to put forth for the things and people you want and need in your life? Nothing great comes without effort. But I promise you that if it's something of great meaning in your heart and something you need in your life...EVERY risk, EVERY step and EVERY drop of sweat will be worth it.
Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.
"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."As we have woke up to another day God has blessed us with; I wait to find out if a loved one will as well. Truly from the Heart-Ms. Toni - Marsalia

Soulmate?

#Asoulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who were pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person were safe in our own paradise.

Passion- a word that involves many feelings:

I still light up like a candle burning when he calls me, I still melt down like a candle burning every time we touch...

"Passion" a word which involves so many feelings; I feel it when we touch, I feel it when we kiss, I feel it when I look at him; when he doesn't notice me noticing him. I love the moments when no ones around because all he can see is me. We can be in a room full of millions and that moment when I am all that he sees sets me free. 

Love is the passion that we feel inside our hearts that we can't hide. Even if I lied; you'd see it across my face like I wrote in permanent marker.. 

Random Ramblings of me... 

Know your Circle!

We can definitely inspire a lot of people to experience the precious positive side of life. Some people all across the world are in desperate search of what direction to take in life; The people that you look up to can either make you or break you in the future

Director: Lynn 

How long have you been modeling?

The first time was my early tween years. I made looks, faces & gave them beautiful eyes, it was known that one day I would and could be an amazing writer; however needless to the concept that LEOS are all vein or into themselves, I truly am shy when it comes to "ME". Most people don't realize that beauty is very diverse and comes in all forms. Even the form that I hold.

How did you begin and what are your goals as a model?

I wish it was as easy to become a Model as I see it being these days; my parents didn't have much money so I actually started and had to put my dreams on hold many times through out the years. My goals as a model are to create beautiful work with whomever I am working with. I'm not trying to heavily pursue a career in modeling; I honestly have more of a passion for writing; helping create beautiful art and have been styling many models, photo-shoots and workshops.           

Describe your style.

I believe my style is very diverse. My closet is a dress up closet. Each day I decide what kind I look I want to go for, either it be business casual-professional or my favorites hippie as my Son would say or grunge, preppy, etc.

What was your opinion of modeling before and is it different now? if so, how?

Before I started to model it didn't seem like it was “The practice of airbrushing models, whether to make them look bigger and bustier or smaller and thinner, reflects poorly on the fashion industry. These techniques are all about creating an illusion and distorting reality,” I believe “It sets a bad example for women watching these celebrities because now they are vulnerable to comparing themselves to highly manipulated photo art, not a real photo of a real person. Though the photos aren’t real, they have a real and tangible negative effect on women who, bombarded by these images, are led to feel they aren’t meeting up to the standards of beauty. ”I find that creating art with the human form is beautiful. Why be ashamed of your own anatomy? I think the human structure is beautiful and should be celebrated; however you'll find that the biggest critics are your own family and so-called friends.

Where do you like to shop and who are your favorite designers?

My favorite designers carry Vintage. Most of the clothes that I have consist of it! It's really expensive to buy at full price- so I find deals or go to thrift shops and to be honest I can spend hours in the thrift stores.

If you could model for any designer, who would it be?

I don't really have a favorite designer. I'm not Ito following the top trends and serif what's "hot" next. If I see something that resonates with my spirit or simply is colorful and that I feel will brighten my day, I get that excited happy feeling.

What is your dream now that you've got this far?

“I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.” “Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”

I'm feeling very inspired, today is the beginning of the rest of my life! Love you all :)

I am perfectly imperfect, beautiful in my flaws, sure of my insecurities, absolute chaos..a beautiful disaster :D

Character is who you are when no one else is watching.

is feeling on top of the world today! Anyone want a hand up here, The view is amazing and There's plenty of room!?!

I'm no better or worse than you...no matter how big or small sin is sin...I'm just saved by God's wonderful Grace. Thank you God for your wonderful Mercy!!

Believes that we must let our smiles change the world, but not to let the world change our smiles. It's contagious and infectious, so smile and infect someone!

I believe that it doesn't quite matter who you were a decade ago, a year ago, or even yesterday ... what matters is who you are today, and will be tomorrow!

Each moment in a day, has its own value: Morning brings hope, afternoon brings faith, evening brings love and night brings rest Find them all today.

...If we do not speak it or live it, then others cannot see or hear it! Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men ...

Open your mind, try new things, take some risks you never thought you could, and live life to the fullest. You just might find it was what you needed....

Be who you want to be, not what others want to see. Be true. Be unique. Be free. (:

I'm in need of the breeze hitting her in the face; the ocean waves whispering in her ear and the sand between her toes

Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. "What is it you would let go of today?"

She Who Kneels Before God-Can Stand Before Anyone

Remember, the mind likes to assume it "know what it knows" but often its perceptions are just not accurate. Yet strong judgments are made all the time based on limited information...When we judge someone and then adopt an attitude toward them, that shuts down other possibilities and locks us away from the insight of our hearts...

"A friend loves at all times." -- The Bible: Proverbs 17, 17.

Don’t let the burden of your negative thoughts hold you down in life; rather transform your thoughts into positivity, so that they can be the wheels that drive you safely to the finish line of your dream.
