Lisa Ray Instagram – I’ve written about how an artsy, remote, quirky bohemian town in interior BC called Nelson, embodied everything I needed to heal after my stem cell transplant. So much so, at the end of my two week visit, I bought a house there. My intention at the time was to live a simple life, close to nature and community and write. Then, strong currents pulled me in another direction. If you’ve never stumbled onto a land that calls to your soul, you won’t understand my spontaneous purchase. But what appears accidental has always led me in the direction of celebration, authenticity and a safe harbour for my soul. Oh, yes, this is Kootenay lake as seen by friends post a boat outing. @nelsonkootenaylake @nelsonbritishcolumbia
