Violeta Vasile is a strong and sensitive woman at the same time, who cherishes the beauty in people and the truth, always cheerful, who lovingly helps others and finds solutions to almost anything that seems impossible at first sight. You are also the founder of the WioletArt concept, for whose blog she interviewed me. She asked me many and very personal questions for which I thank her.

I leave you an excerpt of the interview below, and you can find the whole interview here HERE.

What do you do in everyday life?

I would like to say that I live. That's what I'm mainly aiming for, to be present and joyfully experience everything I receive. Clearly, I don't always get it. There are many days when just reply, but I'm working hard on this state of presence.

Aside from the soul's journey, or for all intents and purposes :), I'm a wife, mother of 3, daughter and sister, sister-in-law, godmother-in-law, friend, writer, author, and author business and leadership strategist.

What are your passions? What about your purpose?

I'm passionate about bringing joy to myself and to those around me, about helping and making dreams that seem impossible come true.

It's hard to say clearly what my goal is but I am confident that steps are being taken in this direction every day.

How do you start your day? Do you have a ritual you do every morning?

Yeah. I have this mini ritual that lasts 15 minutes. It starts with gratitude that we've opened our eyes “even today” and that we're all well and healthy. Then prayer, 7 minutes of exercise and warm water with lemon and coconut oil. I continue with a coffee because the day is starting :).

Do you remember what mornings were like in your childhood?

I spent most of my childhood in the country with my grandparents. So mornings were outside in the yard. Everything happened there. I didn't have a lot of friends out on the lanai, but I had enough critters to take care of.

What activities energize you after a busy day?

Shower. Water has this incredible quality of cleansing everything and putting back only good, clean energy.

...

If you were a metaphor or a figure of speech, what would you be?
God help! - it's also a saying I use very often and it carries so much!

You know I often wonder how you manage to do it all so well, so simply, so clearly. It's what I admire perhaps most about you: the ability to convey that things are simple, if you allow yourself to see that.

You have a job, which is more than a job. It's your gift. What does that mean to you?
Blessing and the result of a lifelong quest. No one believes me, I know, but I relax at work. That's why I don't have hobbies :)).

What do you enjoy most about what you do?
Potential fulfilled through co-creation with God. Getting from an idea to a book in the hands of the right people is not exactly an easy thing. It can be hassle-free (too much of a hassle) and it can be clear what you have to do, but there's nothing guaranteed in what we actually do in the material plane. I like to say that the authors I work with and I do our small part and God takes care of the rest. And I see, every day, how His will blesses everyone.
