SPRING IS MY HAPPY PLACE
Jacqui Chaisson, Publisher jacqui@pei-living.ca 902.394.7499
It felt like a long winter. It was only two and half months, but they were the longest two and half months ever. Now that spring has finally sprung, I’m eager to get outside. The bulbs I planted last fall should be poking their heads up from the ground anyday now to surprise me with their presence. That’s what I love about this time of the year. No matter how long and relentless the winter is, eventually it gives way to spring... every year! As I sit here in my office finishing up the spring edition, I’m reminded that PEI Living is a real team accomplishment. Behind the pages you’ll find writers, photographers, department editors and our copy editor, and each team member is passionate about putting the magazine together for you, the reader. I really love what I do. I guess that’s why my office is “my happy place.”
to work on. I look forward to learning about other women entrepreneurs, hearing their stories and being inspired by their success. In this edition we are profiling truly amazing business women, and though their ventures represent a variety of industries, the stories are the same. These women find a way to balance family, relationships, self-care and still work 80 plus hours a week. I’ll admit that I’m a bit of a work-a-holic, but I look at the sheer tenacity of Island business women and I feel humbled to know them. The spring issue also includes our Bride Guide. If you’re planning a wedding in the next two years, you’ll enjoy meeting the local professionals that will ensure your big day is monumental! That’s just a few features. I know you’ll enjoy reading this editon from cover- to-cover. Make yourself a cup of tea, curl up on your favourite chair and enjoy this issue!
