The River of Forgetfulness In honor of Virginia Woolf’s 136th Birthday.
The writer Virginia Woolf saw beyond the ordinary. She was authentic in her work, in describing the world around her. And her words became the palette in which she painted truth regarding women in the world during post World War I and before World War II.

Imaginary Versus Real-Stories that come and go and stay too long.
Everyday, we experience and live and relive a story we have written for ourselves. The power of thought and the word is strong. But only as strong as the experience and feelings we attach to it.

Are you ready to learn how to find real love and a real relationship? Are you willing to actually do something that seems contradictory to what looking for real love means?

Working out at the Barre- a new reality
Somethings are inevitable. For me, it is the fact that I don't have a good workout regiment and haven't for awhile.
