Phenomenality

NOTE: If you requested me..
..at least drop me a line with a little background or what it was that intrigued you enough to want to network.. I like to actually use myspace for its intended purpose.. To ((interact)) with like-minded Souls. Im not a psuedo-fan nor am I filler-material, dig? *wink*
If we don't get to intracting, you gon come home one day to find the locks changed.. *wink*
So be prepared to chop it up if you want to keep a key! *smiles*
..: Give me a Naked Soul... And a Mature Mind :..
The name is Zhana (pronounced Zsh-annah) or you can call me Vee... Here I come, Little by little...
Yes.. This is where I live, what I see everyday.. This Reservation is my home and my heart.
Born in the Mile High City, I am of a heavily mixed lineage, but have lived most my life here on the Flathead Reservation with the Salish, Pend d'Oreille and the Kootenai tribes. I lived in Denver for 7 years (2 as a child and 5 as an adult) and Seattle for 6. Montana is also home to the Blackfeet, Crow, Assiniboine, Sioux, Gros Ventre, Little Shell Chippewa, Northern Cheyenne and Chippewa-Cree.
My mother is Indigenos.. Spanish and Cakchiquel Indian (Mayan), and my father's lineage is French & Portuguese. Unfortunately I have been disconnected from my ancestors and can only go back on my mother's side, so my roots have only been able to grow from where I stand. If I had to choose a one ethnic lable.. Mestiza.
((Webster's dictionary defines mestizo as "a person of mixed Spanish and Amerindian blood." It is necessary to understand this as many persons with Hispanic surnames have been mis-identified by the government or by other ignorant people as simply "Hispanics" or "Mexican." Actually, many such people are of Native-American-Spanish lineage. My family names are Velasco, Felix, Rubio, Escobar, Espinoza, and the Garcia de Alva's.))
---I am a product of the Spanish Inquisition---
My roots are in N8V culture, my heart beats with the drums and powwows are a part of my life, but I also throw down the baddest chile verde & tamales and flamenco in my bathrobe. I identify with more than one culture and that is what makes me who I am inside & out.
I have many facets, a few phenomenal, some good and a lot I'm working on. The parts I am most proud of being are: a mother, a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, an artist, a writer, a poet, a bona fide clownin patna, a veracious playa, a designer, a teacher, a GENUINE friend, a phenomenal lover, a seeker of Truth.. and a student OF LIFE. People consider me a 'Supreme Moderator'.. I'm a libral-minded woman who is skilled at seeing both sides of any situation. I'm a firm believer that if human beings are willing to TRULY look in the depths of their own mirrors, we can overcome any obsticle.
I'm a home owner and a small business owner. Self-sufficient and self-reliant . I don't "need" anything from anyone, other than the Truth of who You are... *hides the "S" on my cape* LOL
I'm a true entreprenuer.. In addition to wetting my feet in real estate, I own and operate two businesses who's purpose is to continue to make a positive mark on the children of this reservation. An effect that can and will change the course of all our lives. It really *does* take a village. Our children are the focal point of my life's work. Nothing is more important.. To do something I love, that leaves a beautiful footprint, and makes the ends meet.. I am aware that I am eternally blessed. And I am thankful.
.:Cancerian Magician:.
Your Birthdate: July 4
You have an extraordinary character - moral, responsible, and disciplined.
Your sincerely and honesty shine through in almost every situation.
Driven and focused, you rarely let your emotions get the better of you.
You're level headed and rational. People count on your to look at things objectively.
Your strength: Your unwavering loyalty and ethics
Your weakness: Your rock solid stubbornness
Just as the Moon goes through many changes as it moves from its new to full phases, Cancers too go through many new and full phases of experience. Life doesn't stand still for this sign, even if they remain in one place, because they live so much in their internal oceans of emotions. Their link with the Moon often makes it impossible for them to operate on an even keel from day to day. Up and down like the proverbial yo-yo, most Cancerians feel one way one minute, then sometimes totally different the next. But this characteristic is part of their charm.
Love and romance matter more than anything else to this sign (but this occasionally shares first place with having lots of money in the bank). No other sign romances better, equally though, no sign takes it so badly when romance turns sour either. But with their changeable natures Cancerians are fascinating, mysterious, stimulating and extremely alluring. This sign is the most magic in all the zodiac and once their magic has reached you, they are the most beguiling companions.
I am seeking as many pieces of Truth as I can find... I am going through a metamorphosis... I want to be a better mother, a better daughter a better sister, a better granddaughter... a better friend... a better person. I want to have more humility.. I want to slow down, and take time to be truly thankful.
Some food 4 thought:
You are the product, of the karma of your Soul.
One more time...
You are the product... of the karma... of your soul. The dispositions and attitudes that you were born with or that you choose, serve as the learning of your soul. As our souls learn the lessons it must learn, certain characteristics become unnecessary and are replaced by others. This is how we grow.. This is how we *mature*. Your attitude creates your personality and your personality reflects your Intentions. YOUR INTENTIONS CREATE THE REALITY THAT YOU EXPERIENCE! Until you become aware of this, it happens unconsciously. Therefore, stop and THINK before you speak, and truly be aware of what you project. Your projections become your definition. There is a profound power in that realization. Its the type of power that we were meant to have... Life does not just Happen.. we CREATE it...
As we come to recognize the power of our consciousness, that is when we will realize that what is *behind* our eyes, holds much more power than what appears in front of them!
We have so much more control over how our lives move than we think!
Profound Simplicity:
Your life can only be as good as your choices are...
You have no choice what you are born into, but from the moment you become conscious, you have choice. Choice is the most beautiful of all gifts. Choice = Opportunity. We have endless opportunities to grow. Millions are content to stay at a certain level of consciousness their entire lives and die no wiser than when they got here. We are all a part of an epic evolution.. the evolution of LIFE itself.. Opportunity knocks everyday. It is up to us to CHOOSE to open our eyes to it. Our souls have the capacity to grow many lifetimes within one life..
Of the few things in this life that we can control.. our INTEGRITY is one. Where the path of integrity intersects with the path of temptation... that place is =sacred=. That sacred point is called "CHOICE". Your choices will protect you from that incurable disease called `Regret`. Bet.
