Although I do not consider myself a professional photographer or model....I found self photo to be a profound part of my healing ...

I began to record on film the different stages of my life...the changes in my weight....face...and demeanor....I am not at all vain...I am actually quite the opposite and often struggle with feeling beautiful....

As I looked over the pictures...I felt more in touch with my spirit.....It brought me peace and a sense of freedom...it took my mind off of the circumstance...

When you are sad....or struggling...find something to do...and do it with passion...For me that's reading...writing...

taking pictures...but whatever you choose...do it...don't just sit there....
