Leah, very moving! Your story actually made me cry. Maybe this is what some of us are here for. Like all people have paths or maybe a destiny, some are on this similar journey. No one is perfect. So why is that there is some type of perfection to be followed? Thank you for helping the misguided onto a recovery of being able to be & accept themselves. Thank you for being strong & not accepting the path you thought you were on. You are beautiful. Your creativity & inspiration to help is lovely. xo

Very moving and surprisingly uplifting. Mostly I enjoyed the way you combine still life images, photographs, music and your words.
