You may be wondering why I have included a section to this website entitled Photo Journals. What do my photos have to do with my book? Good question, and I have a good answer. When I was deep into my eating disorder, allowing Ed to run the ship, my life became very small, routine, and, colorless. But as I began to walk the path of recovery, I started to regain interests and passions in things I had long given up on, the two most important being photography and travel.

Africa became my number one bucket list trip, and it didn’t disappoint. I think cameras were made for Safari’s. Soon after, I was off to Morocco, another exotic destination with amazing photo opportunities exploding with vibrance and wonderment. And in less than a week I will be on my way to Cambodia, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Life has shifted from gray to vibrant, from isolated to connected. I am living my version of life large, something I had forgotten how to do, as I struggled to overcome the shackles of my imprisonment.

Come with me on my adventures as I share my images of new cultures, environments, foods, and surprises along the way.
