Churches & Sanctuaries

        Spirituality and faith play a very important role in my life. I was raised in a Roman Catholic Family due to my French and Italian Ancestry. I try to live life in an honorable way, by following a strict code of conduct and morals. I certainly believe in the power of something divine.  For me my faith stems mostly from nature and the force of good over evil. I do believe in karma as well. I spent most of my youth visiting churches and even worked in a church for several years. There is something beautiful about the traditional styled churches, especially those based on Italian renaissance architecture. During my travels I have always made it a point to visit these traditional places. 
          I may not fall in the category of a religious person, for I do not believe on imposing my beliefs on others. Rather spirituality is about finding a connection with the natural world, and respecting the sacred. It is my belief that a person should try to be the best version of themselves they can be, to uphold the good of this world.

      
   “Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves.”
-Kingdom of Heaven
