Bonnie Strauss: "Follow your passion. Don’t let money take you away from your destiny"
BPP: Identity: Who you are? And who you
really are?
Bonnie Strauss: I’m a
female clothing and jewelry designer and I work in the United States. My
purpose in life is to be a visionary and
to add beauty to all of life. To be able to make people happy through my
creative art.
I’m a
mother, a wife, and a dreamer.

BPP: If you could say something
important you've learned all these years of your life, to the other people and
they were able to listen to you, what would you like to tell them?
Bonnie Strauss: Life is
short. Make it count. Do what brings you joy.

BPP: What is your real dream, the one that keeps you awake at nights and if one day it will come true, you will feel your heart calm and peacefull?
Bonnie Strauss: My real
dream is just to enjoy the beauty of my life. To be able to see the world
through my eyes. To have total calmness and serenity. Just to be able to
breathe the air, feel the wind, look at the ocean, see the birds, smell the
flowers. TO HAVE ENOUGH TIME.

BPP: How is life for the people in your country today? What do you wish to happen to them and to the people of this planet at large?
Bonnie Strauss: Life in USA
seems to be a major struggle. It is a very difficult time for the young and old
regarding employment. People are constantly stressed out over money and the
ability to find
work. I wish everyone peace and harmony.

BPP: If you had the chance to be a child again, will you choose to do the same life you do?
Bonnie Strauss: If I could
be a child again, I would definitely still pursue the same career choice.
However, I would have put my family ahead of my passion. I allowed the need of
money to come ahead of my life.
I probably
lived my life too rigidly, but at least I understand that now … and am starting
to let go.

BPP: Which exactly was the moment you understood what you want to do in your life? How did you feel at this very moment?
Bonnie Strauss :I always knew I wanted to be a designer at a very young age. It gave me such joy that nothing in life was able to be as fulfilling as my inner creative process.

The first time I had a piece of fabric in my hands, I had to cut it up, sew it into something, and dye it. I think I was 8 years old. I felt like I owned the universe. It was a great feeling of accomplishment. I felt like I did something nobody else could do.

BPP: Something yours: Do you want to tell us something we didn't ask you until now?
Bonnie Strauss: Follow your passion. Don’t let money take you away from your destiny. Enjoy the process. Enjoy your life.
