Questions For Me From Charlie:

Which of your blog posts is your favorite? This is a tough question. A real tough one! Between fun, fashion and travel posts I do some real heartfelt posts that are so dear to me. But if I had to choose one it would be The Awakening: A Conversation With Myself. I truly believe, as human beings our first and foremost duty is to know and honour our own authentic selves. With this renewed perspective life begins to have a whole new meaning.

What is your favorite color? I love every colour in the spectrum and the fact that a bit of colour can bring such joy into lives whether it’s in a flower, butterfly or our attire. But if I had to absolutely choose one it would be powder pink.

What is your favorite food? When it comes to food, I am not very adventurous. There was a time period where I loved the quote “Life is too short eat dessert first”. But times have changed and perspective has changed. Now I enjoy a simple meal prepared with love and passion. I crave fresh vegetables and fruits.

Do you have a secret talent? I have developed the talent of dealing with the toughest situations by simply focusing on my breath and letting it pass. Learning to overcome the need to respond to every situation is a talent that saves many unpleasant moments.

Which season (spring, winter, summer, fall) is your favourite? Here in our beautiful City of Vancouver, we get to experience all four seasons to the fullest. My favorite is spring though. I love the hope, enthusiasm and joy that fills the spring air and the dreams of a fabulous summer just around the corner.

What song would be your theme or anthem? It would be “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield.

Who is your favorite celebrity? I love and admire Oprah Winfrey. This woman single handedly has raised awareness for conscious living and mindfulness to a whole new level. And talk about personal journey of growth and success!! I am in awe.

Do you have a favorite book? Yes, “Practising the Power of Now”, by Eckhart Tolle. It’s a life changer for me.

Do you have a favorite movie? “The Notebook”! Seeing two people truly in love and committed to each other fills me with joy to the cellular level. I love this great love story and I also love my own love story for this reason.

Do you have a TV show you’re binging on right now? While everyone else in the family watched “Game of Thrones”, my younger daughter and I have been binge watching “This is Us”. I absolutely love it.

What is the one thing you love most about blogging?

I started the blog with the hope to share all that life has taught me and all that I continue to learn. I thought if I could just inspire a few people from my experiences I would be so happy and my purpose would be served. Little did I know, it would be the blog inspiring me. I hold myself accountable, and responsible for all that I ever dare to share. I am constantly challenging myself to learn more, grow more, and do more. What more could I ask for?
