by Leisa on January 3, 2011

Over the Christmas holidays, I read several books, and Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi was one of them.  The book was an intimate journey through Portia’s battle with anorexia, and provided a chilling insight into the thought patterns that shape and inform this tragic disorder.

No Impact Man

by Leisa on November 16, 2010

I really enjoyed this movie when I saw it a while ago. I think it was a really interesting insight into how most of us would handle lowering our environmental impact, coming from a modern western society lifestyle.

Loving Our Animals

by Leisa on September 15, 2009

My father was a butcher, by trade, and it was when I was a very little girl that I went to work with him one day – and came home a vegetarian… That was the start of my foray into vegetarianism, veganism and animal rights.  I remember writing articles as a teenager, speaking out against
