Feels like it's been forever since I had a chance to update!! I moved to a new city very recently and as such hadn't had time to update much of anything; and for that I'm sorry.

I've had a few people ask why I decided to take down my other page, containing photos of myself...and the answer is; I had some very big changes come about in my life and I had to take a while to re-assess who I wanted to portray myself as-not only as an artist but as a person as well.  Was it something I could see my children being proud of someday? And who knows, they might be but I don't want to have them stumble across images of their mother portraying herself as a harlot and being someone I no longer see myself to be.  I want them to view me as someone who is strong, and independent and beautiful-yes. But, not as someone who felt she needed to take her clothes off to do so.  I'm not saying that I don't agree with, or think others who do so are wrong-I just know that at this point in my life it is not something that feels right for me.  One of my best friends in the world is a model who posts pictures on this very site-and was the inspiration for everything I posted.  I came to a point in my life where I no longer felt that being looked at by those I did not know was no longer something that I felt I needed in my life.

It's taken time for me to finally accept who I am and know that if I ever want to change it, it is something that is completely in my hands.  Right now, I want to be able to fit into a wedding dress that looks good on me, not one that's just serving it's purpose.  I'm happy with who I am, and the person I have discovered within myself in the last year.  I think up until this point I was a person living inside myself; and now know who I need to be in order to be happy.  I have found someone who makes me laugh, and makes others laugh...someone who was buried inside of me a long time ago.  I can't pinpoint when that happened, but I know that at some point, I went from being someone who felt completely fulfilled in every aspect of her life-to someone who needed to be "loved", and looked at to feel anything at all.  A lot of 'soul searching' went into all of my decisions this past year and I feel very confidently that each one made, was the right one for me.
