Having the power to change your every moment and create what you want in your …

I am passionate about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and the incredible benefits that can come from the simple act of tapping on specific points on the body while holding an intention for healing.

I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them.

Art, and I believe art is photography, should be limitless. BUT, I do not promote art that supports violence or di …
