FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
S pring is by far my favourite time of year. Those early warm days, the sunshine, the garden planning- this season is all about renewal. The cover feature highlights a trio of Island businesses that work together to create beautiful homes and really speaks of the close bonds that exsist when family memebers join forces in pursuit of their dreams. These past few months were difficult for us here at Little Bird, with the sudden death of my grandfather. He was a very selfless and giving man, and was an avid blood donor. In fact, he was awarded several recognitions for his ongoing support and regular donations. In his honour, we have included a page on how to become a blood donor. We’d love for you to consider making it a part of your life as well, as it’s so important to those in need. I’m really excited to share these pages with you all. This issue we’ve included an “Island Women in Business” feature, highlighting some of the Island’s unique and successful
entrepreneurs. There are so many incredible people involved in making this Island what it is, and there’s no doubt that we, as women, often have hurdles to overcome when working to bring our dreams to fruition. We need more women like these to show us that we can all achieve our goals with hard work and a great business model. You may have also noticed that this issue is substantially larger! We’re so excited to have expanded from 96 to 124 pages for this, our fourth edition. This magazine has been such an amazing experience to be a part of since its inception, and watching as it grows with each issue has been so rewarding. It’s also provided an incredible opportunity to connect with my birth mother, Jacqui, in a new and truly special way as we build this business together. I’m so grateful for bringing me into the fold for this journey. So we invite you to take a moment to enjoy this issue of PEI Living Magazine and read about the people, the families and places that make this our 'Island home'.
