Many years ago, I used to be an actress and I still love the theatre. I love all the arts really, especially the visual arts, jazz and classical music, and all kinds of dance. The arts are how I engage with the world and come to understand others and myself. The one thing that I could not live with out is books. I love to read - primarily modern literary fiction, but also non-fiction books about art and artists, and the theatre. I also like to read a little about history. I recently discovered the concept of the Danish word hygge - and am finding ways to incorporate into my life.
