Alice @ the NAC
The epic nonsense of this logical insensible tale is impeccable in the pretense of the stage. The December 26th presentation of Alice in Wonderland by the NAC’s English Theatre was a priceless excursion into this epic tale of a young girl eager to discover an escapce from the confines of British high society. True to
My skin is like the ocean
Happy New Year everyone! This year I go deeper into a life-long journey of healing a chronic, debilitating and life-altering skin condition. My skin is fragile, sensitive and reactive.

There are few moments that inspire beauty and gratitude as much as the sorrow of a hurting heart. These moments interrupt our daily mechanical operations; force us to look squarely at ourselves in complete honesty and request that we face ourselves, naked, raw and real. When the heart hurts, its lament summons some of
