What makes you try harder each day?
The driving force behind my try is my why: my children and my family. When we work hard to stay connected and volunteer and give back to those around us, the love and kindness brings us closer and creates a ripple effect on everyone we know.

Describe the perfect day for you...
Outdoor adventure that includes a full day of activities with my family in the sun is always the perfect day for me. If that day can end with an exhausted chat by the fire in the evening, laughing and enjoying each other, then I have achieved bliss!

How do you make a difference each day?
Every action has a reaction, so it is my mission to keep my approach to everything uplifting, inspiring and kind and engage reactions that feed a positive chain of effects that expounds exponentially. This is my daily mantra and contribution to igniting positive change in the world. It is so simple, yet so effective.

Describe your most treasured item in your home?
For four generations, there has been a chair passed down in my family. That treasured chair is a symbol of who we are as a unit – sturdy, simple, strong and enduring. It is so interesting how something as simple as a chair can tell a story, mean so much and have so much history.
