We all have a backstory; a series of events, choices and experiences that have led up to create the life we have now. Each completely unique and singular, but so often sharing highs and lows, victories and defeats, joys and sorrows that connect us inexplicably to the humanity of this world we live in.
Here are ten small pieces of my backstory that you may not know…
..I vividly remember a story being read aloud in class when I was in 2nd grade that made it very clear to me that I liked the idea of making spaces look and feel better…the beginnings of my love for interior design.
..At 16 I applied to be an AFS exchange student to Australia and was crushed when my application was not accepted. I still knew someday, somehow I would travel overseas.
..I used to know how to ride a unicycle, play the piccolo and juggle.
..In college I did travel abroad, as an exchange student to northern Wales and loved every minute of it.
..At 22 I spent a week in Ireland totally on my own exploring and traveling by train. It was after this I realized I never wanted to travel alone again as I had no one to share things with.
..I have been to the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy…I like Ferraris.
..I have bartered for hand-knotted rugs in a middle-eastern souk.
..There are 28 different teas in my tea drawer…I like tea.
.. One third of my life has been spent being a mom to my lovely daughter.
..I am an idealist and a dreamer that loves daisies, sunshine, peacefulness and lazy days.
There are many more pieces to my story, but thought I would share these with you today…
