1. What should
everyone try at least once in their life?
“Slow dance. Of course, you always need to have another
person to do this with, but it shouldn't be too hard. Fast dancing is fun, but
there's just something about slow dancing that is so romantic and wonderful.
Whether it's a dance,a party, or in the comfort of your own home; to put on a
slow moving song and dance with someone's arms wrapped around you is something
that everyone deserves to experience,even if you don't know how to dance. If
you think you have two left feet,at least attempt it because it's an
unforgetting moment usually. ”
2. What brings you
the greatest satisfaction?
“Serving in Church. Life becomes simplified and I'm humbled
when I'm either on the Altar or serving in Ministry. It's a fulfilling feeling
when I'm at the service of God and others. Choosing intentionally to help
others flip life upside-down. In helping others rather than seeking our own
gain, we find great freedom. Service to others results in humility. We live
lives of less stress, less anxiety, and less frustration and we begin to feel
more fulfilled, more complete, more alive. Living for others completely
abolishes our need for a pecking order. It becomes a great weight off our
shoulders when we no longer seek to satisfy self, but instead, we seek to help
others. The real joy is found not in being served, but in choosing to serve.
”
3. What is the best
advice you've been given?
“Fr. Michael Makhan- He would always say, "The more
generous you are with others, the more generous your Heavenly Father will be
with you." I use those words every time I have to do a Eucharistic Service
in Church or when I'm sharing a lesson on humility with my students. Even more
so when I'm in a position to do something for someone and I'm a bit hesitant,
these words find a way to surface my mind. I don't think I can ever forget
them.”
4. What are the top 3
things on your bucket list?
“Well, travel is always on top. I love traveling. I can
never travel enough. The world has so much to see and there are new experiences
in each journey. Next, would be to write a business guidebook- I've learned a
lot about business in practicalities that I'd love to share and mentor others.
And on my list too, is to sing anything to my husband's pan playing. ”
5. What are the top 3
things on your perennial to-do list?
A. Well, I'll always want to be working in and on my business.
B. I'd want to continue supporting the various NGO's I've
partnered with and perhaps link with a few more.
C. Continue my studies in Gemmology and Lapidary.
6. Who are your
heroes?
“My heroes are Jesus- I don't know how he could have been so
good to everyone despite knowing they were against Him.
Mother Teresa- What she did was amazing and I've always
wanted to be able to emulate her ways; the way she cared for everyone in
whatever condition they were in. She has been my lesson in Love.
Fr. Makhan- This priest has been not only a spiritual
director but a father in Christ, a friend in Christ, everything in Christ.
Whenever he talks about God, he always enlightens and Fr. never hesitates to
help or just listen. He is always so passionate about Ministry, serving, and
generosity.
Several priests and religious sisters. Their sacrifice is a
definite and faithful YES in response to God's call to service others every
single day for the rest of their lives and I admire their faithfulness and
unwavering devotion.”
7. What is your
greatest indulgence?
“My greatest indulgence is any of my favorite books, country
music and a cup of coffee. ”
8. What quote do you
live by?
'Be still, and know that I am God.'
9. What is the best
gift you've ever received?
“The best gift I've ever received is my son, Seth. He's my
heartbeat.”
10. What is the one
thing people would be surprised to know about you?
“I guess people would be surprised if they knew how shy I
really am, especially since I'm a teacher and a lay minister in church.”
11. What is one thing
you wish you knew when you were younger?
“I wish I knew back then how to fight for my dreams. I was a
bit unsure of myself when I was younger and there were lots of opportunities
that I missed simply because I didn't think I could have done it then.”
12. What inspires
you/ your craft?
“So many things inspire me. But I am especially inspired by
the Jewellery through the ages. The Victorian and Edwardian Classic Jewellery
periods are just a couple of my inspirations. ”
13. Where do you see
yourself in 5 years?
“In 5 years, I see myself developed into the individual I
desire to be- to be able to do more to help others, I hope to have my family
extended and my business flourish.”
14. What would you
say to your past self?
“I would probably tell myself, 'Live!'
15. What do you do in
your spare time?
“I enjoy a good book and a cup of black coffee.”
16. What's the one
thing you would change about the world?
“Our lack of love. I don't think we love enough. There's an
evident lack of concern for humanity.”
17. Go-To
Song/Movie
“I'm a Michael Bolton fan so any of his songs will do. My
fav all time movie is Dirty Dancing! Love it!!!”
18. What social
change do you hope to see?
“Better care for our environment. We still can't see that a
lot of the destruction of our planet is man-made.”
19. How was the
TVISUAL experience?
“I certainly enjoyed these questions. I never quite had to
put things in retrospect before so this was an eye-opener even for me. It was
kind of fun too. I'm also amazed at how accommodating the team was.”
20. Who should we
highlight next?
“My girlfriend Denise Scott. She recently opened 'The House
of Creative People' in Marabella, giving others a space to share their
creativity and she's doing a great job by inspiring others to explore their own
talents.”
