Alchemy’s Proust Questionnaire:

Favourite virtue: Compassion. It makes the world a kinder place.

Moment in my life I’d like to re-live: Back in my mid 20’s, my sister, couple of girlfriends and I decided to take a spontaneous summer road trip to Manhattan, New York. We explored the city- visiting iconic landmarks like Central Park Empire State Building, and Times Square.  We indulged in some serious shopping, hitting up Fifth Avenue, and or nights were filled with laughter, cocktails and city lights. The sheer thrill of experiencing Manhattan together made it an unforgettable moment.

My favourite word: “Breathe!”  – Stop, live in the moment, relax and take inventory.

My favourite quotation, motto, or phrase: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde

A country/place I’d like to visit: Bora Bora.  I’m ready for some tropical serenity!

My favourite painter/artist: I have a few, but Cillian Murphy is definitely top of mind. I love all his performances but his portrayal of Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders is outstanding.

My favourite singer/musician and song: Picking one is tough, one of my favourites is Queen “Radio Ga-Ga.”
