The innocent face of Rage A few years ago, a friend and I entered a small cafe. In back, a man offered free palm readings, and as one always intrigued by things beyond the five senses, I sat my hand and presented with high expectations. After a pause, the player said softly: "You are very angry." Not exactly what I had in mind. Certainly, he must have seen much success in my career as a performer so he had confused lines of my hand with someone else. What could I, Queen of the excitement, maybe be angry?

Fast forward a few years, I skillfully navigate the seas of life. Things were the status quo was in good health, the bills were paid, I had wonderful friends and was in a fantastic relationship. Besides the normal frustrations of life in show biz I had no major complaints I could not refuse the surf calm feeling crazy, feeling of being wrong, without evidence or incident. That being the case I did what many of us, put it aside and focused on the daily operations of my life. But July 4th weekend I was forced to take a bath in the surf, and Come Clean.
