It has been ages since I blogged. I have missed it!

I have missed blogging.  I've been very busy and every day I think of something I would like to blog.  I make a quick note of it but somehow the time flies past and I haven't blogged those ideas.  But I will.  Find below the promo text for my upcoming performance of my one woman show.  It is such an interesting entity.  I keep changing it a little here and there.  Somehow it grows and changes each time I get it ready for another show.  And somehow each time it seems a little more integrated.  HOpe you can come and also spread the word about it.  I plan to be a much more regular blogger.

A guide dog is snoring at my feet as I write this.

I must say, that is a very comforting sound indeed.

Hello friends.

I am delighted to remind you that my full evening one woman show "Flying in the dark" will be taking place at the Gladstone Theatre in Ottawa on thursday August  15 at 7:30 PM.

This show has been performed 4 times now and each time it grows and evolves.

I am excited about some new bits in its second half and am thrilled to be performing it again.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the Gladstone Theatre box office during the last week before the show.  In the mean time, I have the tickets myself if you care to buy one or several.

Have you heard it before?  Come again?

Can't come?  Tell your friends and relatives to come?

Want to hear it but can't make the night?

Ask me for a house concert or other performance space and I will be happy to oblige.

This is a very unique show.

See description below.

Hope you can come.

Kim

She was born a) blind, b) fiercely independent and c) filled with a love of words and language, curious about her world, experiencing it with all of its sounds, scents, textures, words and characters. You might think being blind is the most difficult part of Kim's life, but it is mostly the attitudes of others and barriers placed in her path by them that pose her greatest challenges. Come and find out what it is like to live and thrive as a woman who weaves words with skill and humour. Come flying in the dark. You won't regret it!

 

All about the dog.

Yesterday, we went to run errands.  It is very hot and humid here.  Although my black lab girl loves lying in the sun more than almost anything else besides her food, I left her home in the cool house.  At the mall, I entered a bathroom with my white cane and started saying, "Tulia forward find the sink."  Whoever was in there must have thought I was very odd.  We got to one store and someone said they hoped my dog wasn't sick.  Then we got somewhere else and someone asked where my beautiful dog was.  When we got home, she bounded to the door to meet us.  So thrilled that we were back and gave us a very warm welcome indeed.

The whole rest of the afternoon, she slept right on my feet.
