GIVING BACK
I was always a quiet child, but a very emotional one. They say the most emotional people are the most creative & that is what I’m doing … giving back. My mother is a special woman and the majority will say the same about theirs alive (or sadly not at present) but remember, one day you…

WORDS
Words, written or spoken are sacred. “Patience is food for the Soul” … how powerful are words. “Be an instrument to improve Humanity,” how effective are words. “The currency of this World should be kindness,” – words are paramount.

SIMPLICITY
Are you like me? When I first visited Paris I was amazed at the subtle yet rich brands such as Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga … the list goes on.
