Role Model

Thanks Alley Zee for posting these on Facebook

Who is your role model?  Growing up I really admired my father, he is so intelligent and street smart, he could fix anything, and took risks for his family.  The best thing is he always gives great advice but lets you know its up to you to listen or not.  In our world today there are so many role models, and I feel really blessed that I am in a place in my life to be a positive influence on everyone I meet.

Then it makes me think of the word "model."

There are so many definitions, but I am specifically talking about runway, print, or any kind of modeling.  I dabbled in it and had a great time being fancy, and now I get to do it again next Sunday, so excited, http://www.karenmichelle.com/Store-Events/love-your-body.html

 

In everything I do I strive to be an example to my family, my community, and be fulfilled myself as well.

 

How can you bring some of that into your life?
