<strong>ST</strong>: Why did you call this photoshoot<br />

“Passion is Everything”?<br />

GC: We all have something that makes us feel alive, a passionate<br />

pursuit that adds a little extra meaning to our lives, an activity that fires<br />

us up inside and gives us a sense of fulfilment and purpose. If you are<br />

unsure of what that might be yet, I would recommend that you choose<br />

the hobbies, careers and pastimes that excite you the most because<br />

those are the things worth chasing. Those are the things that bring you<br />

closer to your soul, the deepest essence of who you really are. You can do<br />

anything you want in your life as long as you have the passion, the drive,<br />

the focus and the support.<br />

Great dancers, singers, designers, top businessmen, doctors, world<br />

leaders are not great because of their techniques per se. They are great<br />

performers because of their passion and their perseverance to keep<br />

doing what they love and what they are good at and they feel that they<br />

have a great purpose in life.<br />

With this kind of mind-set, I live my life one day at a time, with good<br />

intentions and I follow my dreams one by one. Three years ago I decided<br />

to take a few risks into the unknown, altered my career path and become<br />

a blogger and social media influencer to go with the times. After the birth<br />

of my daughter Luna, I wished to create a lifestyle that would suit me, my<br />

creativity and my personality. I could not work any 9 to 5 job any longer<br />

and with having lots of ambitions to develop myself and provide services<br />

I enjoy, I set up a small award-winning marketing and PR company<br />

GRAZIELLE CAMILLERI. The blogging part came as a natural progression<br />

and I just love what I do! It is a successful blog which brings in more PR<br />

and marketing work and my team always has varied projects to dig their<br />

teeth into. It excites me. I love being challenged. That’s how we evolve.<br />

Always developing something new and adapting to the times.<br />
