There are many different ways to look at life’s situations and adventures. Within the tingling emotions of the truest love, the burning pain of a heartbreak that may never receive closure or justice, the stirring of new ideas that will bring you into a better world for yourself and loved ones; within all of these emotions, PERSPECTIVE is the star.

Perspective is the common thread through all the events of life that, depending on how you view what takes place, brings you to the other side for better or worse. Perspective will always be the main player in your story of what you love, embrace, and manifest, as well as what you dislike and need to set free from your heart. Which stance will you take? Which outlook will lead you to the life beyond your childhood dreams and fantasies? The power is always within you, within your chosen perspective.

Get ready for a poetic and lyrical ride through the heart as it faces love, passion, hurt, opinions, and existential conclusions.

This is “Perspective.”
