1. I had eight beautiful journals, each of which was a failed attempt to keep a diary - each notebook had 5 to 10 entries.

2. My mother used to cut apple slices for me in a special way so that each piece looked like a pair of rabbit ears. Somehow this made it easier for me to eat a fruit that was “healthy”.

3. The first time I understood the idea of color in sound and music - I was seven years old.

4. Playing the basketball game, HORSE, with my brother.

5. The first time I read Anne of Green Gables - I obsessively loved that series, and was determined to move to Canada’s Prince Edward Island.

6. Watching the original Star Wars trilogy with my family. I did not imagine myself as Princess Leia, but preferred to envision myself as the female Luke Skywalker, the first female Jedi.
