Thisfunktional Magazine Issue 07 | Page 2

P AGE 01 July is my birthday month issue and I look forward to continuing on. This past year has been incredible and I could not have been more fortunate. This last year I have met incredible people and more so gotten to accompish amazing things. I have been blessed this past year to be surrounded by people who I care for and who have been aguiding light, an inspiration and who push me to keep on going no matter what. The hard work and dedication which I try to exemplify is one I have seen from many people and I only try to be as amazing as they are. Laura Dickenson who has struggled so much and has come so far building up Anima É Cuore Studios to what it is now. Her beauty and perseverance inspire me and keep me fighrting for my dreams. Mike “The Movie Guy” is one of the most hard working guys I have ever met, always busy, always on task and always looking for a way to help everyone. Truly a great friends and person. Eli Kay who keeps me grounded and writing. Her willingness to keep going through everything is one-of-a-kind. She keeps striving for her dreams and keeps her head up while doing so. This magazine is a dream come true for me. I thank everyone who contributes, who throws out ideas, who I have gotten to meet, interview and feature in the magazine and to everyone who takes the time and reads it. I am thankful for everything.
