- My mother died of Alzheimer's; it was a long goodbye to a brilliant pianist, painter, businesswoman - a feminist before Betty Friedan gave anyone the go-ahead. When she left me, she was a mere shadow - not the strong-willed woman with the strong personality I'd known into my adulthood. I live in fear of this disease; I take self-administered mini-mental status exams every few months; I take ...

- When I was in high school, I couldn’t wait to finish school so I could begin "The Academy of Cosmetology". I wanted to be a hairstylist. I wanted it so bad that it was all I could think of, dream of, and saw every time I looked at someone--- “I imagined how I could change, fix, color, perm, or style their hair!” I even enjoyed the fragrance of the hair coloring and perm ...

- To catch up on what Sunset Sessions is please refer to previous blogs...I was awed watching my friend Michele in her element (again, if you do not know who that is please see intro to Part I or Part II) during Sunset Sessions. Not because of the powerhouse business woman I know her to be. During Sunset I once again got a first hand glimpse at what I believe makes true art great -- PASSION. Every ...

- Am I crazy? Who's to say? By Einstein's definition, I may well be. He said insanity was repeatedly doing the same thing while hoping for a different outcome. As I write this, I'm drinking caffeinated tea at 7 p.m. All the while, I'm telling myself that it won't affect my sleep. At some deeper level, I also know that if tea has kept me awake on a thousand other occasions, I can probably expect ...

- Every day you breathe in and breathe out, but when you can't breathe in the scent of someone that reaches inside of you and burns your soul red like a hot ember, then what's the point? Everything is fine until you know what you're missing. Everything is fine until you remember the feeling. Everything is fine until the food has no taste, the music has no melody, and there is no warmth that is warm ...

- Uncontained Passion Joven Cabebe We were friends, And I never want that to end. But lately I can’t look in your eyes, And never endlessly wonder why? Why do I feel this way? I don’t even know what to say Maybe I don’t have the right to get mad, But I have the right to feel sad. They tell me to let down my pride, And wish you, “I perfect ...

- The Search is an intriguing novella overwrought with psychological passions set in the netherworlds of Alexandria and Cairo. One can sense the specters of Dostoevsky and Georges Simenon haunting Naguib Mafouz as he wrote--a misfit searching for his father commits a murder to seal a pact with his lesser female angel while ignoring his good one. At times the narrative hurtles along with cinematic ...

- I love France. Actually, I am 'in love' with France and I intend to live there one day. I love the people, the history, the culture, their approach to the arts and to artists. Of course, the French are also famous for their food and culinary traditions which makes me smile because I have found that whilst this is true, it does not necessarily extend to their understanding of vegetarianism, ...
