Life is like a Picaso...twisted but beautiful!!!

About Me

I am somewhat conservative with a wild streak, or shall I say that I personify someone who appears to have a wild streak within them. I tend to be articulate most of the time. I enjoy being stimulated by conversation & depth. I am passionate about my art work & would like to donate them to a good cause, like to help feed and shelter the homeless. Just want the simple things in life. Don't tolerate lies or games anymore (life is too short). My motto is: to not judge anything or anyone because of their past decisions or because of the way they look. Diversity is something that I do not fear, yet welcome it to make life that much more interesting. I will never apologize for who I am. The things of my past can not be changed, the things of my present are what they are, and my future depends solely on "THE BIG GUY IN THE SKY". I have nothing to prove except to GOD. For only he can judge me. I am comfortable in my own skin & know that I will... and I have already made my creative marks in life. I have a purpose, as do we all. I am a Princess!!! For my Father is the King of Kings, and his Kingdom will have no end. Oh yeah, did I mention that my Father is number ONE in my life; and my children mean everything to me? I believe in what it states in JOHN 3:16. And on a final note with regard to the whole "About Me" subject: I really must emphasize that no matter what, it is crucial to have a great sense of humor. My favorite thing to do is to laugh and share closeness with the one's who are closest to me.
TO TRULY LOVE IS TO PUT ASIDE ALL SELFISHNESS... TO LOVE AND UNDERSTAND SOMEONE IS AS SIMPLE AS THIS:"If you will allow me any of my own wants, or emotions, or beliefs, or actions, then you open yourself so that some day these ways of mine might not seem so wrong, and might finally appear to you as right....for ME. To put up with me is the first step to understanding me. Not that you embrace my ways as right for you, but that you are no longer irritated or disappointed with me for my seeming waywardness. And in understanding me, you might come to prize my differences from you, and far from seeking to change me, preserve and even nurture those differences."From the book "PLEASE UNDERSTAND ME" By David Kersey and Marilyn BatesMY ARTWORK.....

My Interests

I love spending time with my beautiful children and my wonderful boyfriend Ryan and his beautiful children, Art, reading, concerts, dancing, tennis, shooting balls at the driving range, hanging out with friends and family, tattoos, ball games (live), kick boxing, working out at the gym, Fashion Shows, and European Culture, as well as, other cultures. I am fascinated with things that are French.Get Your Own! | View Slideshow OOOOH...LA...LA!!Cliff Dwellings in Manitou Springs, CO.Barbie & I out having fun at Ten one night... My beautiful children...they are such a blessing!! My baby and Ryan's sweet babies.He is such a stud muffin ALREADY!

One of my favorites: Manuel Nunez

I'd like to meet:

My Knight in shining armour.... Actually, I have met my knight in shinning armour...he is as chivalrous as a knight and has qualities that surpass all that I have ever met in my opinion. I know that we were brought together for a reason, and that my heart just overflows with warmth for him and his family. This relationship is rewarding and I thank my blessings every day that we are still in it. He has become my muse...my confidant...my partner in my journey that I am now venturing to walk. He is like the good soil to my seeds. Having him in my life can only promote beautiful fruit...lol! (I can see all of your faces now trying to figure this analogy out). For those of you who are thinking WTF...the soil analogy was taken from a parable Jesus used in the book of Mark. In general, my boyfriend Ryan, inspires me to want only good. He doesn't always think he is all that, but he is. If he wasn't, I would have never put him in along with my heros. He is all I have ever prayed & hoped for.As far as prospective new friendships, the following are who I would realistically want to meet:I would like to meet people who don't just talk the talk, but can walk the walk. People with substance who can share the same interests and views life as an adventure to embrace with strength and courage. Someone who can rejoice in each moment and find beauty in even the smallest things. People who have compassion and virtue. I just want to establish healthy, non-complicated, loving relationships. My definition of a genuine person is someone who can stand by their word. (I am an advocate on the subject of mutual respect!!! "Do unto others as you would want done unto you"). Friends are essential in life, so I don't believe in burning bridges unless the foundation of that bridge was never solid to begin with... you know...if the friendship had no truth or substance. All those who have been in my life, know that you have touched my heart in some way and I have been blessed to have you there.THE MAIN REASON I AM ON MYSPACE: I am trying to re-establish my cosmetics business formerly known as "Devina & Co." I am an on location Make up artist/artist. I can make a beautiful face or painting. My art work generally consists of human form/still life done on canvas. My medium is usually acrylics, but I do enjoy using pencil and charcol also. As for my make up expertise.....I like the electricity of working with Models & Photographers on photo shoots and fashion shows. But I also enjoy making brides and bride's maids exquisite for their special day. MY DEAR FRIENDS PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE IF YOU ARE IN NEED OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS NEED OF MY MAKE UP SERVICES.
