Health and happiness. Aren’t those the things we desire the most out of this life? In truth, one is really meaningless without the other.
It was such a joy to edit the stories that went into this issue, because they all embody the essense of health and happiness.
You will meet people who find their bliss in a variety of ways. Some find it in nature and adventure as they seek out beautiful untamed spots in our beautiful province of British Columbia.
Others find it in the process of storytelling through film and movies.
In “Bloom to Bloom,” you sense the joy as the author puts her fingers back into the soil after a long illness.
Last year I started a no-dig cottage garden in my front yard. I may have been sweating on the outside, but I was beaming on the inside with each new plant and pop of colour. As I moved mountains of dirt and gravel, I imagined the fairytale garden I would sit in soon.
A couple weeks ago, I took a one-day certification course for people who want to get into the film industry, and discovered just how prolific the movie production industry is in BC.
Our picturesque province is often called the Hollywood of the North, and it certainly lives up to the reputation when you find out how many movies get produced here. I’m ready to take the next step when an opportunity shows up.
This is life. Trying new things, reaching beyond our comfort zone. With just a little bit of courage and imagination anything is possible.
Maybe one of the stories in this issue will spark you to consider what else you could be doing to increase the happiness and health in your life?
