The Strength Collection

Years ago at the start of my marriage collapsing I fell into a deep dark depression. Sitting in my apartment drinking only from a two liter soda bottle for food, my life began to slowly drift from away from me. I gained a massive amount of weight and rotted my teeth away. Feeling lost and ashamed that my family was now broken, I knew that I would hit bottom soon. Not being able to smile in photos with my own children was a defining moment for me, coupled with the fact that if I stayed the course of this self destructive behavior my children would grow up without a father for I would be dead. After digging in deep into my heart and soul and with the love of my children I decided to change my life. I exercised every day and repaired my heart and soul. This collection is about the strength I needed to find in me to stay alive. We all have that strength inside and unfortunately bad things have to happen to realize this.
