Faux Visage: A Carnival Variety31 The Four Walls of the OceanKind of an Eat Pray Love journey, minus the Eat and the Love. My love is at home, my digestive system is on the rocks, my questions remain. Did I accomplish my self transformation mission? Somewhat. My art career feels non-existent even as my show continues in the gallery. I can’t believe I’m leaving +28 tropical humidity and ocean sunsets to return to Lethbridge -25 aggressive wind and misery.
