I am a lover of art in all its forms. When I step inside the Louvre, I stand in the central court and struggle with which wing to enter first. I know, no one out there is boo-hooing over my dilemma. Living in Paris allows one the luxury of taking in ancient Egypt one day […]

I hold individuals that live life outside the box of what most people’s definition of “normal” might be in high regard. Those mavericks who listen to their heart and are moved by what it tells them regardless of the judgement of others is a gift. It may cause them great pain or great delight but […]
