If you’ve met Tanya, you’re as delighted to know her as I am.

She’s one of those people you watch move through life with incredible ease, not because she isn’t wanting very much – in fact, it is the absolute opposite to be true. She left everything she knew to be her back in Kiev, Ukraine and arrived in Vancouver days later. It’s no sooner that she says she would like to have that, and you see her living it. She walks, she speaks, it happens. Plus, she rarely stops smiling. Hence the magic.

There was no way I was going to decide between these two. Forgive me.
