I'm all about that positivity! I got enough light to share it with the world, and thats my mission. I'm a stubborn chick, and this does two things for me: helps me out OR gets me in trouble! But It's all good! I'm still in school at the moment, and makin' it do what it do until I can do more! I'm sports active, to the fullest. You may not see it through my chunkiness, but believe me, It's there ;) I live for a few things: family & friends, traveling, music, and making them memories for the books. I take advantage of what life has to offer, and for those who don't, I'd suggest it :) I love animals, nature, the good outdoors, and whats not to love really? I'm a risk taker. I'm honest, I refuse to do or say anything I can't own up to. I'm a tough cookie. I'm playful, some may see it as flirtatious, but it aint on that level. I'm considerate. I'm reliable. I try my absoulote best to be understanding, and in all my power I'm truely accepting of others and situations. I don't judge, who am I to? I know ones opinion is only ones perspective. I strive to better myself. I'll evaluate, and work on all the things I don't like about myself, and enhance all the things I do quite often. I don't aim for perfection, but knowing I'm always moving forward is ace high. I always stand up for what I feel is right, and this tends to bring out my argumentative and stubborn side, but it also opens a porthole to my open mindedness. I try to see one thing from all angles. I'm out going, real and chill when the time calls for it. I LOVE meeting new people, regardless of who you are, who ya chill wid, or who ya momma be, hit me up! I'll getcha back :)

Go Forward With CourageWhen you are in doubt, be still, and wait; when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage. So long as mists envelop you, be still; be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists -- as it surely will. Then act with courage.- White Eagle
Earth, Teach MeEarth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light. Earth teach me suffering ~ as old stones suffer with memory. Earth teach me humility ~ as blossoms are humble with beginning. Earth teach me caring ~ as mothers nurture their young. Earth teach me courage ~ as the tree that stands alone. Earth teach me limitation ~ as the ant that crawls on the ground. Earth teach me freedom ~ as the eagle that soars in the sky. Earth teach me acceptance ~ as the leaves that die each fall. Earth teach me renewal ~ as the seed that rises in the spring. Earth teach me to forget myself ~ as melted snow forgets its life. Earth teach me to remember kindness ~ as dry fields weep with rain.
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.- White Elk
If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian, he can live in peace... Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The Earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.. Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade, where I choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and I will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.- Heinmot Tooyalaket ( Chief Joseph), Nez Perce Leader
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.- Chief Seattle
The True PeaceThe first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit), and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men.- Black Elk, Oglala Sioux & Spiritual Leader
May the stars carry your sadness away, May the flowers fill your heart with beauty, May hope forever wipe away your tears, And, above all, may silence make you strong.- Chief Dan George
Hold OnHold on to what is good, Even if it's a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe, Even if it's a tree that stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, Even if it's a long way from here. Hold on to your life, Even if it's easier to let go. Hold on to my hand, Even if someday I'll be gone away from you.
Lakota PrayerWakan Tanka, Great Mystery, teach me how to trust my heart, my mind, my intuition, my inner knowing, the senses of my body, the blessings of my spirit. Teach me to trust these things so that I may enter my Sacred Space and love beyond my fear, and thus Walk in Balance with the passing of each glorious Sun.
So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.Chief Tecumseh (Crouching Tiger) Shawnee Nation -
Peace and happiness are available in every moment. Peace is every step. We shall walk hand in hand. There are no political solutions to spiritual problems. Remember: If the Creator put it there, it is in the right place. The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears. Tell your people that, since we were promised we should never be moved, we have been moved five times.- An Indian Chief
When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money.- Cree Prophecy
Certain things catch your eye, But pursue only those that capture your heart.- Old indian saying
