Leonard Cohen

Last night I was treated to an absolutely incredible experience. I was invited to Leonard Cohen's show at the Hummingbird Centre (yes, I'm still calling it that... must absolutely EVERYTHING be turned into an advertisement?!?)

The vibe was incredibly positive and energetic. It's been a long time since I've felt that much energy at a concert. Every person in the audience, was there to stand in awe of a great poet, singer, songwriter, human being... From the minute the man walked onto the stage until his final disappearance, the crowd went wild. Thunderous applause filled the room. It was a moving experience. It was a large room, and a large crowd, but nonetheless it felt like an intimate gig. Leonard humbly took off his hat to thank each and every person for not only attending that night, but for their years of loving and supporting his art.

Thank you thank you for allowing me to be a part of a wonderful evening.

Is Oprah going vegan??!

"Week One: Monday
Well, I feel like I got baptized in Vegan Land today. Kathy Freston sent her chef, Tal Ronnen, to help me and three friends at Harpo who are doing the 21-day cleanse.

Wow, wow, wow! I never imagined meatless meals could be so satisfying. I had been focused on what I had to give up—sugar, gluten, alcohol, meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese. "What's left?" I thought. Apparently a lot. I can honestly say every meal was a surprise and a delight, beginning with breakfast—strawberry rhubarb wheat-free crepes. — Oprah"

my lovely new bag


i love love love it. thank you beautiful beth for making me this wonderful bag. it's much more than just a place to put all my crap (although today, i fit a loaf of bread, hummus in tupperware, a notebook, my copy of lifelines (veg.ca newsletter), two packs of oatmeal cookies, my phone, my wallet, pens, my work id, my lipgloss and various other random items and there was still room leftover...). It's almost like an extension of my body. It fits so snuggly under my arm, that I almost miss it when it's not there. ahh... my gorgeous new bag. does anyone else get this excited by bags (other than me and beth). I think everyone would if they had the perfect bag...
