No sooner did I returned from LA than I had to turn around to head to Toronto for the Female Eye Film Festival.  But who’s complaining?!!  June in Toronto is  Gorgeous, and I was looking forward to reconnecting with my dear college/rowing friend (and ALLY supporter) Chris Toperczer, whom I hadn’t seen in 20 years!

Just before our screening, we learned that we had won the Female Eye Jury Prize for Best Documentary!!  The award ceremony took place the night of our screening.  The hand-forged statuette, designed and sculpted by Willie Anicic, is Simply Stunning!!!

I’m amazed by how many wonderful connections I was able to make during my 30 hours in Toronto.  There seems to be a direct correlation between number of hours I spend at a place and the intensity of my interactions…
