lela nqumayo 2013 GRADUATE – BACHELOR OF EDUCATION. KEYANO DANCE INSTRUCTOR. FOREVER YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHY OWNER
mcmurray girl of 15 years mcmurray moments Meeting all the phenomenal women in Fort McMurray who are defining who they are. Kim Hurley (Owner for Generation Dance) and my Mom have taught me so much about work ethic and what it takes to be a McMurray Girl. My biggest moments would be the lessons they have and are still teaching me today.
on my playlist Every girl is a “Taylor Swift” who sings what she feels, waiting for the “Bruno Mars” type guy. The occasional Bieber Fever doesn’t hurt.
my advice... Don’t let failures get to your heart, and successes get to your head.
my style Drop Dead Darlings. I religiously preach that store to every McMurray Girl I meet. It’s all I wear!
must-haves Mascara, lip gloss, and anti-frizz hair serum.
excited about... ...the next episode of Greys Anatomy.

(May 21-June 20)
Four planets in your sign! You haven’t had this kind of attention since 2001. The Sun energizes you, giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Mercury makes you talkative, while Venus makes you diplomatic and charming as hell. Of course, lucky Jupiter boosts your enthusiasm, increases your confidence and attracts fortunate people and favourable circumstances to you. A stimulating, fun month ahead full of new experiences that blow your mind. Hooah! www.georgianicols.com
Cancer
(June 21-July 22)
Some of you are having a secret love affair. Others are enjoying solitude, especially in beautiful surroundings. Ah yes, the good life. Some of you are making plans and doing research, while others are exploring spiritual ideas and getting more in tune with their inner world. Nevertheless, surprise news from authority figures might actually change your life direction. (Whaaat?) Tension or competition with a friend or a member of a group is also likely. You’re treading water, waiting for your break-out move.

dazzle. You’ll love hanging out with younger, creative people. Because your ambition is aroused, you’re not sitting around getting dusty. Au contraire, you’re out there with your colours flying. Since you’re talking to others and sharing ideas about a secret dream – quite likely someone will help you. Something unusual will expand your world through travel, politics, religion, brilliant ideas and philosophical concepts. Expect a thrilling, promising month ahead.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
There are more planets at the top of your chart now than in more than a decade. This means you’re high viz. in the eyes of many, especially authority figures, bosses and parents. It also means you’re putting out energy to travel, explore ideas Photo © Shutterstock.com / Gorbash Varvara

and expand your world. You might be so enamoured of someone in a position of authority, in part because you attract favourable attention. It’s almost as if you can do no wrong, you look that good. (Opportunity knocks only once, but temptation bangs on the door for years.)
Libra
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This month life is exciting because you can expand your experience of the world. Most of you will travel or get further training and education. One thing is certain — you will meet people who stimulate you, teach you and introduce you to new concepts and ideas. Some of you will develop a love affair or romance with someone from a different background or a different country. Be careful because radical changes with partnerships and close friends might catch you off guard.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a powerful time because your ruler Pluto is electrically charged by Uranus triggering explosive situations, which might set you off on a new path. Mars opposite your sign creates tension with others. Be patient because anger serves no purpose other than to make everyone miserable. By mid-June, this influence of Mars is over. In the meantime, it makes you annoyed with others. Of course, from your point of view they are annoying! Good news: In the next six weeks, gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way.
Sagittarius
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You’re working hard now plus dashing around and delegating like mad. Plus you are focused on partners and close friends. Things look good but you might want to redefine a relationship. Quite likely, you will have a more accurate appreciation of others. Conversations will be meaningful and the month ahead will be the perfect time to patch up misunderstandings. But do take note: You will be more tired in the coming month, which means you need to get more sleep. Go to bed.
Capricorn
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Surprising changes at home make you keen to get better organized. You’re almost directing traffic. You’re working hard because you have great job opportunities now or chances to improve your job or get a better job. You’ll also want to make where you work look more attractive. And speaking of attractive – co-workers and bosses look appealing, which is why a work-related romance is likely. Fortunately, it’s not all work and no play. Mars makes you feisty, prankish and eager to explore sports and competitive activities.
Aquarius
(Jan. 20-Feb.18)
This is a fun-filled month! Take a vacation. Plan social activities; make time for sports, picnics, barbecues, short trips, movies, the arts and playful times with children. Romance can flower beautifully now. This is also a wonderful time for creative and artistic ventures because your productivity can surge. You’re full of innovative ideas that help you put a new spin on things. However, do be careful because this week is a mildly accident-prone time for you. Pay attention to everything you say and do.
Pisces
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Home, family and your domestic, private world are your primary focus now. You can enrich your home life and enhance and deepen your family relationships at this time. Enjoy entertaining at home and tackling home repairs. Conversations with a parent will be significant. You’ll love redecorating and making where you live look more beautiful. You’re aggressive in communications with others now. Keep an eye on financial matters because something unusual might occur. A sudden job offer or a job change?
Aries
(March 21-April 19)
This month you’ll be busier than a one-armed paper-hanger with hives. Accept this accelerated pace; go with the flow. Short trips, busy errands, conversations with neighbours and siblings, increased reading and writing plus an ambitious To-Do list will make this month fly by in a blur of activity. But it will be fun, upbeat and stimulating! You are experiencing big changes -- changes for the better. We’re talking radical -- appearance, personality and style of relating. The whole enchilada.
Taurus
(April 20-May 20)
Money, money, money. In the month ahead, your focus is on earnings, cash flow, financial matters and major expenditures. You’ll be checking your bank accounts online to confirm what you have and what you don’t (almost wishing your dough could grow by magic). Actually, this is a possibility because you’re full of money-making ideas right now and the Force is with you. Oh yes. (“Luke, I am your banker.”) Now and for months ahead, you have one of the best chances in more than a decade to boost your income. (“Spare change?”) www.georgianicols.com
