When asked to write a few sentences as an introduction, Elle thought of the Jane Austen quote from a letter written to her sister, "Which of my important nothings shall I tell you first?" Elle is an inveterate scribbler of words, painter & sketcher of pictures, insatiable reader of books, ponderer of ideas, lover of music & movement, delighted observer and photographer of the world around her, and the bearer of a bit of dark humour. She has a bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies. She's an adoptee. Her husband suggested that she add that she has three brilliant grown children, one very handsome dog named Angus, and one geezer. He's the geezer. Elle has heard herself described as Bohemian. She's always liked that. In this episode, Elle bravely speaks of her reunion, estrangement and the longing for her “true self”. Elle also shares one her poems Pandora’s Box giving voice to the pain, validating that expression heals.
