Community awareness: I totally agree with the sentiment of this video. What is my reality? I am watching it on my computer, wearing head phones, with the light on, in my warm home. Do I want to abandon these things? No. Am I a hypocrite? Probably! Do I want to change this ?Yes! I have no easy answers. If you do please let the rest of us know.

Community awareness: Often when we hear of eating disorders and trauma we will jump to images of anorexia and bulimia, both devastating , but we might label the obese child as lazy and be oblivious to the self medicating with food that they may be engaged in with the hopes of dealing with the memories and emotional wounds which are unhealed.
Entertainment: I personally find street artists the creators of beauty where there was otherwise a void. But when does street art cross the line and become vandalism? Are the lines a blur for you or is it more black and white? Should we accept someones markings as a sign of their individuality or are they disrespecting private property? Would you accept it on a disused building but not in your own home?
Personal Interest: Today I spoke in the Victorian Parliament about the sexual abuse that I suffered at the hands of a Catholic clergy member 1972-75 and the lack of support and cover-ups within the institution. My husband gave me this dvd as a gift. He believes that I am a Brave Warrior Princess. Thanks John
Research: Music awakens remembered feelings from the past, positive and negative. When used as part of Art Therapy a persons spirit that might appear to be lost to Alzheimer can spontaneously awaken for a period bringing with it all of the joy and elation previously experienced.
