Feeling vibration in me, the young girl who laughs and jumps facing butterflies and dragonflies. “Passion Never Retires” is like the maxim of my life – do what you do with a sense of happiness, curiosity, that never ends in despite of age or misadventures of life. Passion is a way of being and meeting other passionate persons is so stimulating – those who follow their dreams, their visions in despite of failure, in despite of objective and emotional obstacles. Passion is life for me. That means taking risks….better is getting in and living it – not only looking from outside!
