A happy new year to all of you!
Somewhere a year ago I promised you some updates, which apparently were completely forgotten by me. There’s no excuse for Solaced being so behind everything (though having a new laptop and not all my software with me to update/make things is kind of a good excuse I guess?). I have been way too busy (again) with everything else pretty much. The forum has been kept alive – special thanks for Karine for still posting the most recent stuff there – but I never got some time to channel that back to Solaced’s front page. I have no intention of stopping or shutting this down in case anyone wondered.
What I will do is updating the site again. Give me some time to work through the backlog and put it somewhere in Solaced’s archive. I’m hoping this year will be a great Sarah year and that you all can get the latest news in Sarahland here!
Also, I think I have a few new shiny things. Thinking of how to put that together…
Wishing you all the best for the new year,
Ellie

To celebrate, here’s some evidence of Sarah rockin’ through the years:
For those interested: from left to right we got 1989, 1992, 1999, 2004, 2010 and 2017. In the background we got 1995 (left) and 2014 (right).
Happy birthday Sarah!

A bit late – as usual with me – but a happy new year to all of you!
I know Solaced hasn’t been updated for the past half year of so, my apologies for that. With everything going around here – too busy with just all kinds of stuff – I never couldn’t find some time to sit down and update the site properly. In addition, it has been very quiet in Sarah-land. As both of these things are going to change, Solaced will be fully updated again soon 🙂
Wishing you all the best for the new year,
Ellie

Sarah performed at a fundraising dinner (April 25th). Event was to raise money the for Eleni Skalbania Fund for Brain Cancer:
CHEF’S DINNER: Philanthropist and chef Frank Guistra convened a special fundraising dinner at the Wedgewood Hotel that raised an impressive $247,500 toward the Eleni Skalbania Fund for Brain Cancer, benefitting the B.C. Cancer Foundation. Guistra teamed up with Bacchus’s new executive chef Montgomery Lau and Anna Wallner, co-host of The Shopping Bags, for the intimate culinary experience in honour of Skalbania, founder of the Wedgewood Hotel, who was passionate about cancer research and quest to find a cure. The trio prepared some of the power broker’s most beloved family recipes, such as eggplant parmesan and chili and olive oil bathed beef tenderloin, for 72 attendees to enjoy. Three generous guests purchased the evening’s big-ticket auction item — private cooking lessons with Guistra himself — that garnered an impressive $90,000. Following the night of fundraising, multiple Grammy and Juno-award winner Sarah McLachlan capped off the evening with a little night music. The critical funds raised at the culinary-do will help the more than 77,000 British Columbians living with cancer today.
