FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Editor-in-Chief Story Sheidow
Brighter days ahead
Copy Editor Rebecca Spinner
It’s been warmer these days—the sun’s shining a little brighter, the days are a little longer. The good weather is just around the corner, I can feel it in my chilly old bones. I myself have had a busy winter and spring— and am elated to introduce you to the newest member of the Little Bird family, Ira James. Pictured here at three months old, Ira is now a whopping five months and is an absolute joy. His laidback attitude and generally chill demeanor are the perfect addition to our family. He’s our cherry on top, without any doubt. Life outside these four walls is a different story. It’s definitely not the spring we were all anticipating, I’m sure. Social distancing and self-isolation have become regular phrases in our vocabulary. We’ve all had to make many changes—both personally, and here at PEI Living—to get through this. As folks work from home, many with young families, we all need a little escape from reality to get us through the days and to feel in touch with the outside world. So, with all that said, this issue is our annual “Women in Business” edition: our tribute to the inspiring women who make our Island a better place. We’re highlighting some incredible people this year! Entrepreneurs, large business owners, managers, and “side hustlers”— these women help to make up the beautiful framework that is our local business-scape. Featured on the cover is real estate agent Thamara Paparoni. Through her expertise with Provincial Realty, Paparoni is a glowing example of passion, power, drive, and determination leading the way to success. Read all about her in the Women in Business feature! That’s just the tip of the iceberg for content this issue. So, pull up a lawn chair or pour a warm bath, grab a locally delivered craft beer, and dive into this spring edition. We hope it brings you joy and positivity in these uncertain times.
