AUTHOR

I am the author of "Shooting From The Heart: Creating Passion and Purpose in Your Life and Work". My message is simple: The world doesn't change, we do. Positive change requires listening to the voices in our hearts that guide us to toward our true selves and our true purpose. This guidebook will help readers become more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of our ability to live with deep peace.

"Enter "Shooting from the Heart", 91 pages that got me back on track and focused what it takes to truly succeed creatively. The stories of Mr. Goldman's personal experience and growth, family and photography, beautifully illustrate that the journey is bittersweet at moments, but is always worthwhile." - Amazon.com review

"I have been reading your book which at times brings me close to tears due to it's raw truth about life and the decisions we are faced with, and more importantly how we face them. I am enjoying it to say the least." - Kathy S.

"I love people! The more intimate, trusting, open, vulnerable, accessible, electric, revealing the relationship, the better. Photography offers me a way in, deep in, to get closer than normal. I love offering someone a glimpse inside the recesses of his/her immaculate soul, and then providing evidence of that undeniable beauty."
