Within the seed of your desire is everything necessary for it to blossom to fulfillment. And Law of Attraction is the engine that does the work. Your work is just to give it a fertile growing place in order to expand

--- Abraham

Sometimes things happen that just are not within our framework or control.  Did we usher it forward in some inter-connected-psychic-glactic-way?  Or did it just happen?  Are we masters of our world, or just some flotsam and jetsam, bobbing along the highways of life? That is the question that I am sure many people ask when bad things happen to them, to thier loved ones, or to their world. 

I have asked this question myself within the realm of experiencing the lives of others that are living in extreme poverty, or unduly challenging situations.  Why, who is in control here, what forces are allowing some to have and others to have not?  I decided that this was not a great use of my time and energy, at the end of the day these are merely circumstances, and circumstances are not who we are, but we are more about how we deal with circumstances.

This allows me to connect more freely with whomever I meet, and allows me to work in a much more effective way.  This is my desire, to not only reach out myself and connect with others, but to help them do the same, and to create a system that supports them to do this in a creative way by providing them with the skills to do that.  That is my work and that is what Cameras 4 Change is about.
