Memories of a Murder

Reflections, by Ayala Reznik, AIR 2018

Against Empathy, Entangled Minds, and music

Just completed the Come Alive program this past week, and am starting to notice the little changes I'm making to steer my life in a more positive direction. The program leaders and assistants are all truly gifted in guiding the participants thru their journey of self discovery, I felt a real connection with everyone of them. To my new found friends, I love you all, I believe in your strength and know you now have the tools to accomplish what you desire. To quote the terminator... " I will be back". Thank you for helping me get my life back on track.
