- Detis -
Art school run-away, an extension of self manifested from Marseile, aka. Mars*.
A currently practicing critical care RN with a history of trans-national nomadism.

These lil' bits inspire me.

- Growth -
I believe in myself.
I believe in the potential of others.
I wish to see you succeed.
I've got no bone to pick - the only one I chew is my own.
I'm one who roots and cheers you on along the way.
! Especially for you, ladies !

Marianne Williamson penned life's motto which Nelson Mandela also adopted -
Explode your beautiful light people,
shine bright,
be the change.

Be big. Be bold.
Don't shrink.
Utilize your untapped 90% brain function.
You. Are. Amazing.
Know that.


- Living -
Here's what I've learned...

Life is always incredible and sometimes tragically beautiful.

Your time will be up before you know it.
Honor your life.
Grab it by the balls.
Soar it to the heavens.
Be that drop in an ocean that creates a wave & ride it.
Hard.
Laugh yourself to tears.
Sip tea.

To be alive is surreal. Its simply fucking rad.
Even when you think its not...
it is truly miraculous.


- Love -
Love or fear.
You decide.


- Conscience -
I still believe your word is as strong as your hand shake.
I become giddy over smiling dogs.
I believe organic gardens should cover the urban world.
I pick up litter. And earthworms.
Embrace your power to exercise
your connection to all around you
thru sustainability and positivity.

- Chocolate -
It's palatable serotonin.


- About Mars* -
I'm Marseile.
Madam Tete Rouge...
There's an entity that lives atop my head.
It is red.
It purrs, it growls...

Having lived in all far stretches of the country, with MidWest sprinkles, Portland suits as home.

I have three boyfriends:
Glenn, Vincent & Benecio, whom is my favorite...an attentive & emerald green Bianchi San Jose.

Wine, salt, chocolate.
Ignore cliches, for they're delicious and deeply coveted kitchen staples.

I successfully fail at curbing intensity and not swearing.

I seek large bodies of water.
I will ask you what a place smells like.
Lhasa plucks at my heart strings.

Music is the soundtrack to our lives.
My crush on Beethoven never ceases.
Bella is my cello & we share a grand affair.
A novice - yet symphonies are composed while dreaming, which wake me frequently in laughter.

I especially love old cameras.

My high school photography instructor told me I could never shoot for the National Geographic because it was too hard.

Bitch.
