"I am Me.
In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself.

I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts.

I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me.

However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.

I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.

I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.”
Virginia Satir -American Phychologist and Educator, 1916-1988

    "When I think of Michelle, I have to say she is the embodiment of positive energy and wordly love on flickr. She lives with a zest and genuine appreciation for life and especially for the people in her life. She is always so thankful for her friends and simply has a gift of fortifying and lifting other's spirits which makes me so glad I am part of her world. Michelle embraces a philosophy of life that positive energy heals, strengthens love, and transforms in the body, mind, and soul.

    Her art is unmatched. Her creativity and passion is invariably demonstrated in her photography of portraits, her travels, nature, grit, street art to name a few. She's a true talent with her own unique style. I adore her and I adore her work."

    "I like to watch the world through the eyes of the Cirkus. She sees things I would never see even if we were looking at the same thing. I also think she has a tremendous gift in processing photos. She has her very own style and it is original and not derivative. On top of all these fantastic photographic skills, she's also a wonderfully friendly person. One all her contacts are better off for knowing."

    "Michelle is in fact the *bestest*! When I came to Miami she made me feel so welcome and really went out of her way to show me a side of the city that even the locals never get to see. She's so nice and so very generous with her time and energy and everything. She's also a kick ass photographer who has a great eye for everything around. She shares a love for the arts like I do and Cirkus is the ultimate "in the know" contact for South Florida. Thanks Michelle for what is certainly one of the best days of shooting I've ever had in my life among many other things!"

    "I cant count the ways of how much the cirkus means to me. She is amazing! and if it wasnt for the sisterhood of the traveling flickr stuff and the amazing fated chance that we shared a mutual friend, I would of never met this stunningly amazing awesome person we all know as the Invisible Cirkus. I know her on a personal level and she just lights up my world. Her works is a recreation of her spirit and passion. She's crazy and I love her."

    "I'm a real big fan of yours. (:
    You were one of the first people I came across on Flickr, and I don't think I would be as inspired as I am now if I hadn't met your beautiful self. The way you capture emotion so perfectly, the way you give your love, the way I can't stop coming back to your photostream..
    I just want to say, thank you so much. Please don't stop doing what you do, because there's no way someone can't feel a "POW!" of inspiration when they see your work.
    I love you bunches."

    "One of the first contacts I found on Flickr. Definitely the only contact who's pictures I look for each day, just because I know I'll see something I wasn't aware of. Its always a thought I've never had, and I like that."
