V-Day 2006: Until the Violence Stops. I was given the privilege to be part of the cast of “The Vagina Monologues” by Eve Ensler, presented on the campus of the University of Utah last night and benefiting programs for the prevention of violence against women and girls here in Utah.

This experience moved me to post on DS after a long absence.

I’m feeling excited and honored to have an opportunity to contribute to this growing community
