Lynn’s Comments: It was on Saturday, February 4th, 2012, that I took my temperature at night just as I was about to go to sleep and noticed that it was 38.  I was informed by my doctors that once the temperature is above of 37, I should go straight to the emergency at the hospital.  I packed a small bag with slippers, toothbrush and some snacks.   I drove with my mother to the emergency hospital and she dropped me off.  I was seen by a nurse, emergency doctor and then left in an emergency hospital bed.  The next morning I was admitted to the hospital and moved to a room in the Short Term Stay area of the hospital.  My family came to visit me, along with my friend Senthil.  I then messaged my friend and asked him to post on facebook that I was in the hospital and welcomed visitors.  The next day was my birthday and I had tickets to see the Marilyn Dennis show with my family.  I asked me friend to cancel my reservation for the show and my takeout order for food for my birthday meal.  I then messaged a few friends and asked if they could bring my birthday meal to the hospital, and Sudarshan responded.

I started to cry on Feb 5th as I went to sleep, realizing that I’d be spending my birthday in the hospital.  The next day, I started to get texts and phone calls for my birthday.  Around 2:30pm on my birthday, I got a surprise visit from a friend and she brought me flowers and chocolate.  Then a couple hours later, more friends arrived with a Dora balloon, teddy bear and cake with chocolate covered strawberries.  It certainly made my day.  My mom, had come earlier in the day and my aunt, arrived that evening with my cousin.  I even had a facebook friend call me and pray with me, which was extremely special.   I had a humbling and blessed day for my birthday.

Lynn’s Comments: What is Love?  Is it a kiss, a feeling, a hug, and a warm embrace?  Is it kind word, act, deed or sharing your meal?  Love can be anything you desire it to be…how big or how small?  Share love in the world in your own little way.  Do something nice for someone you know or even a stranger.  When you give love out,  it comes back at you- you will feel it and it’s absolutely amazing!

Check out The Love Movie by my friend Danish Ahmed:

Lynn’s Comments: I left India on September 4th, 2011 and arrived back to Canada on September 5th, 2011.  It was a brand new time in my life for me.  I have never felt so renewed, fresh, hopeful and happy.  My psoriasis on my skin began to heal up and I haven’t seen beautiful arms in many years.  I had a new sense of self confidence and less than 1 week later, I got to show off my arms wearing a strapless dress at ReelWorld Indie Film Lounge Cocktail Party at Empire Lounge during the Toronto International Film Festival 2011.

I had also decided upon returning back home, it would be time for me to start dating again.  Now, that I was feeling good, I declared I am ready! And lined up a date for myself that weekend.

People often question, why I am single, what’s wrong with you?  You go out so much and meet so many people.  To me, it’s all about timing and I have worked on my inner self to prepare myself to receive that “Great Love” coming my way.  Being in love is such madness and I can’t wait to have that experience again!

Lynn’s Comments: It was on Thursday, June 23rd, 2011 that I was invited to the Green Carpet Gala, an International Indian Film Awards Buzz event held at the Liberty Grand in Toronto.  It was a night full of music, drink, dance and fine entertainment, buzzing with local celebrities.  Overall,  I would say about 1000 people showed up and it got to be a busy night.  I met old friends and made new ones.  I had a great time dancing and had wonderful company. Thanks to Dinesh Sachdev of FILMI for the invitation and thanks to Ravi for taking me there.
