1) I was born and raised in Guyana, South America and migrated to Canada in 1995.
2) I’m the oldest of three and believe this is the cause for my sometimes bossy nature.
3) I played hair dresser as a child and cut off quite a bit of my sister’s hair, to the horror of my mom.
4) I get lost in books, so if you talk to me while I’m reading don’t be surprised if I do not respond.
5) My earliest memory of being obsessed with books was my introduction to Nancy Drew when I was about seven or eight.
6) I’m shy around strangers but my friends sometimes wish I’d talk a little less.
7) I love bright colours especially yellows, oranges and reds.
8 ) I can sometimes be a control freak… I’m working on it!
9) I love babies and would love to have another.
10) Just don’t know what I’ll do when those babies become teenagers.
11) I’m a romantic at heart and love a good chick flick; minus twilight….I just couldn’t get into it.
12) I love to cook/bake but leave a messy kitchen; thankfully the hubby is helpful with that.
13) Before photography I thought I’d be a Chef, that was before I worked in a restaurant and realised,
“Hell no” not for me.
14) I think Channing Tatum and Jason Momoa are yummy.
15) I think society perpetuates a warped sense of beauty but I sometimes fall victim to the madness.
16) I believe in Karma
17) I am not religious but I am spiritual. Love Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth” and though I’m far from perfect, I try to be as present as possible each day.
18) I am definitely right brained.
19). If I could only use one adjective to describe myself it would be free-spirited.
20) I love to travel.
21) I was a nerd in high school and was very attention seeking, thankfully I am much more aware and understanding of that aspect of myself.
22) I love private practice and the voice.
23) I just finished reading Desert Flower by Waris Dirie. This book really had a huge impact and reminded me of what’s truly important in life.
24) I have lived on my own since 18, and did not attend college or university.
25) One of the highlights from my work in photography was an email I received from one of my clients. In her email she talked about her grandmother seeing the pictures I took of her family just before she passed away and how much that meant to her.
26) I struggle with body image, so everyday I try to remind myself of the things I like about my body.
27) My favourite quote is… “Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”- Oprah Winfrey
28) I love music, my list goes on and on from Adele to Remy Shad, Coldplay to Stevie Wonder…
29) I love to sit by the lake/ocean and just be.
30) I am most thankful for my breath, my family and the people that have made an impact on this journey called my life.
