Letter from the Editor-in-Chief
Wake up. Smile. Plan your day. Rock it. Be awesome. Repeat.
This is how we urge you to live and celebrate every day with us. While preparing this issue, we met so many amazing people. They dreamed, created and started new ideas. Sometimes they were successful, sometimes
they weren't. But nothing ever stopped them
from rising above all the obstacles. Be like them. Be strong and motivated, young and gifted. Dare to fly and don't be afraid to fall. Our life is beautiful, even when it's complicated. So, this issue honours life in all its manifestations. It brings a promise of a Spring - bright, fresh, invigorating...
Just turn the page, let it into your life and stay awesome.

I was born in the Philippines, raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba and am now a resident of London, Ontario. A physiotherapist by trade, but a true lover of the arts - music, dance and literature. I have a passion for cultural awareness, community building and healing therapies. This city has many colours and flavours which cannot be ignored or duplicated. Happy to be a part of the Casa London team and help bring London to life!
