Dancing in the rain

For those of us living in BC, we are all too familiar with June-uary – not quite summer, much like winter. Just 3 weeks ago we had snow in Whistler! It has been a very wet and chilly month to date with more wet on the way. It is a reminder that we live in a rainforest and for most of us, we chose to live here. British Columbia is not the place where you cancel your outdoor plans because it rains – you prepare for it to rain. As a result of the precipitation here, we have lush forests, vibrant parks and arguably the best skiing anywhere. Drought is not usually an issue!

One of my favourite quotes is “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain” (Vivian Green). Such a good sentiment for life, because life can be hard and it teaches us to take those tough days in stride.

For our highlights this week, I have singled out my Tree of Life pendant as well as the Vite Talisman by Pyrrha which means Life, creativity and community. I have also highlighted some great June footwear, Taos sneakers for their comfort and the brightly coloured Biotime rubber boots to get you though those rainy days.

Last week I said that I would be donating a percentage of sales from our First Nations Design team Nancy Dawson and Vincent Henson of Silver Eagles to the Kuu-us Crisis line Society. I have made a $500 donation. Not that this makes anything right, but it feels like a good place to start.
