More often than not, as a sensitive person, the world seems overwhelming. Sometimes there are healthy outlets for this — art, friendship, exercise (perhaps). However, even with healthy outlets, sensitivity can bring with it a sort of isolation that is hard to describe. As the last three years will attest, isolation can be overwhelming. Join us today as we dive into the daily joys and griefs of life. Also, we will discuss Katie’s amazing one woman cabaret: Marry Me a Little: A Cold Feet Cabaret. It is an intimate story of one woman as she travels from proposal to the alter. The link below will provide tickets for both the live performances in New York City (The evenings of March 29 and April 1) as well as the livestream of the April 1 performance.
