I write and speak from the deepest and darkest depths of my heart. I write and speak for myself and I write for you. I write and speak for those that have dreams. I write and speak for the thinkers and those that know that something is wrong with our society. This is for those that want to do something about it. Most importantly, this is for those that are willing to make a difference through and with Love. Love is the answer. Be yourself and follow your passion. Paint your Pain and allow the Universe (God) to do the rest.
