What makes you smile?
Reading a thank you note and knowing that I have helped a person makes me smile, whether I was useful in making a small difference in her day or whether I helped this person overcome an obstacle or support her through hard times. Of course seeing another smile will also be contagious and watching my loving husband smile or hearing my sweet teenage boy laugh will surely make me smile.

Describe a date night with your husband...
We love everything singing. We go karaoke and our favorite song is November Rain, we make a fun rock & roll duo. When we do not want to sing ourselves, we like to go listen to a concert or watch a play which is usually followed by a nice dinner at our favorite restaurant Chez Francois.

How do you relax?
I like ice skating, gliding on the ice really allows for my mind to relax because all distracting and extraneous thoughts have to quiet or cease, the mind has to concentrate on the ice, balance, rhythm, coordination, in a sense it is similar to a meditation process.

Describe your personal style...
I like to be creative and my style will vary depending on my mood and the occasion. I usually prefer styles that make the silhouette stand out and add a personal note to an outfit. Personalization through accessories or just a small detail is often key to a stylish outfit. I think of personalization as being different. In order to stand out, in order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.
