Meeting Gail, mother from Los Angeles - USA

We have had the pleasure of taking time to talk to Gail Greaves from Los Angeles. A most generous soul and a real ray of sunshine for all who cross her path.

Representated by UTA and happy mother of a brave and beautiful Arabella born with a limb difference, Gail blows us away by her dynamism and never fading optimism.

Being a woman of strong conviction, she does not hesitate to stand up for her beliefs. Raising her daughter with love and pride, she is proving us all that difference can rythme with joy and beauty! At the moment she is working with the Talent Agency to create two shows on limb difference.

WHAT HAS THE LOCKDOWN TAUGHT YOU?

We learned from this lockdown the importance of living in the present moment. There really isn’t anything real other than the now!

WHAT IS THE FAVORITE ACTIVITY/CRAFT YOU HAVE SHARED WITH YOUR CHILD SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE LOCKDOWN?

Arabella and I made our first Apple Pie together. It brought back memories of baking with my late Mother!

CAN YOU SHARE A FAVORITE RECIPE FROM YOUR COUNTRY?

I would have to say Apple Pie is a great American staple. I like to add a brown sugar crumble for the topping!

WHICH INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT INSPIRES YOU THE MOST AT THE MOMENT?

CNN because they give needed facts regarding world stories. Also, any sites providing positive mantras or quotes.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING?

I would love to add that I’m grateful for technology which is keeping us connected through this virus issue. Without it, I think this shut down would be even more devastating!

Thanks to our phones and computers, we can stay linked with our families and friends. We can pursue our studies and keep on learning. We have the tools to acquire new skills like speaking a foreign language, sewing or cooking!

Last but not least, miracles can happen during tragedies! Keep faith!
