It’s not unusual for me to have days where the world seems to emit inspiration and magic. Today I realized that those days happen when I’m consumed by the things I am passionate about. So many people struggle to find themselves, but this is where it starts. There’s a whole world of excitement, opportunity, and wonder out there… you just have to open your eyes to it.

Nelson local Nicole Ripley has collaborated with her 5 year old son, Archer, to create a children’s book titled “My Brother is Still With Me”. It is about sibling loss and resilient healing, and follows Archer’s experiences following the passing of his older brother Everest.

You can get the book online here, and it will be available soon in Nelson bookstores. All proceeds from the book are going towards the Everest Legacy Fund.
