Being a freelance photographer really has made me

a person who has had many varied experiences in my career.

Emphasis on the ‘varied’.

But they were experiences that taught me much

about the ‘soft skills’ of working with people,

even if it taught me what not to do the next time.

When I chose to use my intuitive senses in my daily life,

I did so as a photographer as well.

And the people who came into my life in personal and business ways

were people who tested me. Emphasis on the ‘test.’

Communication breakdowns, money issues, ego bruising experiences.

Only thing I can do is choose my reaction to it,

knowing that self-control is the master class

in releasing glamourous holds on me.

My brilliant energy and heart are part of my backbone now,

and I have strength and determination

as if a spark had lit the fire in me

to create something extraordinary for you

in my pictures of everything

whether you see it or not.
