What does spirituality mean to you?

I am extremely wary of this word as it is so often so loosely used. Some people mix it with ritualism, while others use it as a posture. I would think it is an inner belief not to be worn on one’s sleeve. So if you were to ask if I am spiritual, I’d rather say “no”.

Do you believe you are guided and protected by a superior force?

I do. I am a great believer in the fact that you are meant to meet the people you encounter, to be in the places you end up in, and that there is a larger pattern to things, which are predestined. Your journey takes you where you are because it is meant to. So many things in my life have happened serendipitously, especially some special friendships, which felt so preordained. It seems there is no plan, yet there must be a great plan, which that “Great Man” out there knows about.

Do you believe you have a special mission or purpose in this life?

I would never use such a grand word. I actually became an interior designer absolutely by accident. When I was a child I did not even know there was such a profession. But some things are just meant to be. And once it happened in that unplanned way, I did everything I could to hone those skills and educate my eye in the most meticulous and researched way, because only then you can produce quality work.
