Tourism Specialist. Event Planner. Caregiver.
Giving
My charity of choice is Empower Dalit Women of Nepal.
When are you at your best?
When wearing cream-coloured clothing. My sweater coat and English wool hat. I look most fabulous in the presence of my son, and at my daughter’s wedding I was glowing with happiness.
Inspiration
Recent inspirations include the movie Juno, which I loved—it was me in many ways—and the book Awakening into Oneness by Arjuna Ardagh. This is an incredible book speaking about oneness which I have noticed is being used politically quite frequently. It may be a wee bit heavier than what I would write, but it is an amazing book to read.
What do you cherish?
I cherish the dreamlike qualities of life, reduced attachment, and practicing good-heartedness toward all beings. The trick is to have positive intention during the dream. This is true spirituality!
How do you interpret your two words?
Cherished means to me: Integrity. Everything present in my life has a story behind it. I cherish every moment of every day because who knows about tomorrow.
Playful means to me: Enjoying whatever it is that I’m doing.

Spirit:
A collector of friends, experiences, and well-worn things; when Cherisheds love you, you know it. They are deeply sentimental, though not necessarily stuck in the past, because they are always endeavoring to create new life experiences and memories. Natural and gleeful caretakers, Cherisheds have an abundance of nurturing energy and affection, which is generously given to strengthen and sustain. With an unshakable values system and moral compass, Cherisheds can be remarkably determined and focused. Love is Cherished’s strength. Look & Feel: If there’s a story behind it, it works for Cherisheds! Nostalgic, sentimental, culturally rich, and diverse. Personalized, attending to detail, inviting.
