FROM THE PUBLISHER
WELCOME TO SUMMER! I think my favourite thing about summer is the abundance of fresh flowers. I love to cultivate them in my garden and fill every corner of my home with the heady fragrance of roses, peonies and lilacs. They simply make each day a reminder of how life always sets itself right - winter turns to spring and summer always returns - it’s magical!
My daughter, Story Sheidow (who is taking some time off to “just be a mom” - life’s most important job), Susan Snow, Kimberly Rashed and Jackie Herbert: as department editors they do such an amazing job creating content. The writers, Katrina Geenevasen and Rebecca Spinner, who are responsible for making each story inspiring. Sara Bakker, photographer and newly appointed sales executive, and Evan Ceretti, an incredible photographer who creates his own magic through the lens. Most importantly, a heartfelt “thank you” to the business owners who have supported PEI Living, without them this magazine wouldn’t be possible. So, as you read through this issue, be reminded that it took a team of people that truly love what they do. I hope you love what they’ve created and enjoy many issues to come.
The past year has been a lesson in patience and understanding the importance of kindness and
selflessness. Throughout the pandemic I have felt so lucky to be living on PEI. Yes, we’ve been isolated, but also protected. Like the changing of the seasons, this too will pass and our “summer” will return. This issue of PEI Living marks five years since the first edition (Summer 2017). It’s become a passion for those who work hard every day to create the best publication possible. I personally want to thank those who made this little venture such a huge success.
Warmest regards, Jacqui Chaisson, Publisher
